Straight from the horse's mouth

Not that Stephanie (the coordinator of the Holt Ethiopian Program) is a horse, but I needed a good uphanism. Anyway, her email today said that there had been referrals given out this week, but that they had not updated the waitlist yet. I'm supposed to email her at the end of next week to see what our new number is (IF we don't have a referral by then). So, I'm thinking that I may not get my birthday wish, but who knows? Come on referrals!
