<p>just got the same! aw wes is adorable <3 a student called, and also invited me to wesfest 
who’s goin!?</p>
<p>I got one too!!! <3 I felt stupid, though, because I couldn’t think of any questions. The girl kind of laughed. Unfortunately, I can’t go to Wesfest (its three days are the three exact days of a musical that I’m in). 
But I’ll probably be doing an overnight. The girl gave me contact information for someone who can arrange that.</p>
<p>I got a call last night, too. I was a little confused at first because he said, “Hey man, this is Ben, I just wanted to say congratulations on getting into Wesleyan,” and he sounded exactly like my friend Ben, haha. But he seemed really nice, and also encouraged me to go to WesFest.</p>
