Kansai Gaidai Acceptance

To the reader:

At 12:22am EST on Thursday, November 20, 2008, I was officially accepted into the East Asian Studies program at Kansai Gaidai University. I received the email shortly after 12:30am EST, after returning to my room from the University Library. Around 1:00am EST, I sent my confirmation email to Kansai Gaidai informing them that I will be participating in their program.

This is wonderful news that has come on the heels of a rocky month. It is moments like this that make life so exciting and worth living. No matter how rough everything may seem, there is always hope and promise.

Once again, at 12:22am EST on Thursday, November 20, 2008, I was officially accepted to the East Asian Studies program at Kansai Gaidai University, and I could not be more proud to share this with every one of you.

Sincerely yours,

Lawrence Christian Gloeckler, III
