Update #3–in the same night/morning

I don’t even know what keeps me sane at 4:14 in the morning now, just as I’ve finished my draft of an email to a Smith official. Maybe I’m not sane right now, or ever, really. Oh well. Time to sleep off the insanity–

*and thanks, callmeboi. The hour of borrowed sleep was soooo handy at the very end.

In any case, this is a rambling and somewhat short update to tell all of you Tumblettes and Tumbluttes that we are moving forward. I have as-good-as contacted the Smith Dean of Admission Miss Shaver, asking her for clarification and the “official, used-in-practice stance” on transwomen at Smith. Just have to send it in the morning after a final check for flow, and then we’ll hold our collective breaths and wait.
