The admissions committee was efficient; I didn't wait long. The letter arrived in a normal envelope. My heart sank when I saw it. Rejection letters are small, I thought. I opened it and read " Congratulations" . I'd been admitted for the semester beginning January 5.

招生委员会效率很高，没有让我等太久。来信装在一个普通信封里。看到信时，我心里一沉。拒绝信都很小，我心想。打开信封，我看到" 恭喜" 一词。我被录取了。新学期从一月五日开始。
