[nagdu] I was not excepted

[Shannon Dyer]

Hi, Jenny.

I'm very sorry this happened to you. I'm not really sure what suggestions to offer, other than to say that you can always apply to other schools.

Good luck.

I explained that the sidewalks in Rockford are treturous, and that between walking to the bus stop, getting to the correct gate at the terminal, and then walking from the bus stop to wherever I'm going constitutes that twenty minutes, it's just not a streight non-stop twenty minutes.
