April Fools...

I haven't been Fooled by anyone on April Fools day in a long long time. I think the last time I remember any deviant behavior on April Fools was at BHS when we played a trick on our favorite Calculus Teacher, Mrs. Hall. I don't even remember what the trick was, but I just remember the image of Mrs. Hall holding her face with her chalky hands and smudging chalk that was already all over her clothes, onto her face & hair.

Anyway, today, on April 1st, my brother gives me a call and tells me that he received a phone call from a representative of the Medical School I will soon be attending. I acted pretty calm, because I did put down my brother as a reference. So, it wouldn't be too unexpected if he received a phone call or contact from Ross U. Then, my big brother tells me this crazy story that since he attended St. George's University (Ross University's rival--if you didn't know, they're the top two schools in the Caribbean), my file would have to be re-evaluated, and my acceptance may possibly be revoked. I would have to re-apply for the next term.

What? Unbelievable. Come on, Pshhhh.

Then I ask him, did they call over the weekend? He says, no, on Friday. I should have realized it then. If he really did receive a call like that, he wouldn' t have waited the whole weekend. He would have called me up immediately after hanging up. Shoot, I would have wanted him to put that Rep on hold, and 3-way'ed that crazy conversation.

Anyway, he suggests I contact my advisor and inquire after the matter.

All the while, inside I begin to sweat, even though I'm trying to play it cool on the phone (not) Oh, it must be a prank call, Adnan. I'll call my advisor tomorrow, and look into it. Shit, I just got through telling everyone here in ATL that I'll be leaving for school, and for them to feel the mehsoos of my absence. haha. We even already attended a "good-bye" dinner at a friend's place. Now what? Even if I wasn't going to school, now I'd have to go away for awhile, just to keep the momentum going. I was beginning to hear the best things about me! Talk about Narcissistic behavior. Leaving a place "for good" is a real confidence & self-esteem booster. Who would have thought? Plus, I love hearing good things about me, and my loved ones. I just glow-t. haha. Yes, that was a pun-ny attempt.

Anyway, within a minute and a half, I hear giggles from Bhabi (through the speaker phone..or other headset) an a big, "April Fool's!"

Golly jee. They got me good.
