Score!

I dreamed that I got the fellowship I really want for next year (the application for which is due a week from Friday). There was a message on my voicemail, and as soon as I heard it, I went rushing into the office, whooping and hugging everybody. I mentioned it to the chair of the department, and he said, "Oh," exactly as he did in real life to my neighbor when she told him of her fellowship award a few weeks ago. It didn't dampen my spirits, though, and I woke up feeling great.

I'm awaiting the outcome of several applications in the next few weeks, and hope this is a good omen!

Update: I got the fellowship!
