A few days later when I found out that I had gotten in, he was one of the first people I called. I just called him and let him know I got in, and he was really excited for me. When I told him about the scholarship he said, "that's beautiful." [there's that word again??] Then I told him I needed to get going but he was one of the people I really wanted to tell, and he said, "let me know what you decide" again. I wanted to make the conversation short because we seemed to be getting into a habit of having 30-90 minute long conversations and I wanted to mix it up, also so he wouldn't be scared to pick up the phone whenever I called! ["OMG, it's T... I can't pick up unless i"m free for the next 90 minutes..."]
Both of these conversations had a very open, warm, intimate, genuinely deep friendship feeling.
