shoot. bad day from the get go for jake. he got up early to run before school, and had to do it in a downpour. then his car wouldn't start. then he got.....'the letter'. a literal 'dear john'. wasn't expecting to hear from Emerson until early april, but got the very polite rejection today. they said it was a very competitive field, yadda yadda yadda. he actually took it pretty well and i think he's very nearly convinced himself that iowa is his choice. since he hasn't really applied anywhere else (besides northwestern which is a pretty major longshot) it looks like this is it. let's hope the visit goes well on tuesday and he's completely convinced.
