Celebrating!

I came around the corner at work a few days ago to find my coworkers (dear friends) clustered around another coworker (dear friend also).  She looked up at me.  "I got accepted!" she said.

I knew what she meant - she was accepted to her top pick among the graduate schools she'd applied to.  

I nearly burst.  I jumped up and down.  I hugged her.  I wailed.  "I'm so sad!" I said, laughing gleefully.  "But I'm so happy!"  We looked at each other, tears almost welling in both our eyes.

The words were out of my mouth before I realized it.  Holding up my hand for a huge high-five, I screamed, "That's how we do it in Bohemia!!"

Congratulations, dear friend!  I'm so proud of you!!
