1) Congratulations!

2) You need a car in New Orleans.

3) I'm sure you'll be busy and excited and making tons of friends, but I also know people in that part of the world (specifically, Mandeville, which is just north of Lake Ponchartrain, which is north of NO proper). Most of them aren't dorks, but they're good people. Id be happy to arrange an introduction, if you wanted.

4) Yay!

1) Thank you!

2) You Southerners and your lack of bike-friendliness. We'll see...

3) I'd love introductions at some point in the future. The more local contacts, the better, as far as I can tell.

4) <3s!

I'd actually seen both of those while reading nola websites yesterday, and they do make me feel optimistic. Still, we'll see what happens. I imagine it'll also depend heavily on my school placement, and my ability to bicycle while maintaining the business-casual dress code.

Congratulations! OMG! I really had no doubt you'd get it, because you're super amazing awesome Kate! ;)

I was actually feeling very pessimistic going into this: partly because I'm naturally given to pessimism, and partly because, well, my interview was a pretty mixed experience even if it did ultimately turn out well. So, uh, I'm damn pleased.

yay yay omg yay. And thank you. :-)

Congratulations! And don't worry, you'll get the hang of a car in no time.

We can only hope...

And thanks.
