Brushing my shoulders off

A few months ago, i applied to this corporate mentor program at school. Basically, this program assigns you to a person who is pretty high ranks in thier company and they become your mentor and you are thier mentee. I had to fill out some paper work, get a recommendation, and particpate in a group interview of about 100 people total. A week from the interview they would let us know if we were accepted into the program, but they posponed it for about a month. Last week, i got an email, i read it and basically it said you've been rejected dumbass and to pick up my rejection letter at the dean's office. Fuck, i didn't want a rejection letter.
A week goes by after i get this emial, and my friend- who also applied- asked if i wanted to pick up the loser notices. Since i didn't have class, i said why the hell not. I went to the dean's office, i get my letter that says "yassir"... the first thing that came to my mind is "yasser arrafat." The letter read:
dear yassir,
on behalf of the college and the program, i would like to congratulate you as a CORPORATe MENTEE for 2004-2005. You have been selected to represent the college and the program due to your enthusiasm, your proven dedication to your academic endeavor, your professionalism, and your involvements..."
No fucking way! i couldn't fucking believe it. It turns out that i totally read the email wrong. If i hadn't gone there because of my friend, i would have totally missed out on the business dinner where i meet my mentor next wednesday. And i would have basically missed an awesome experience. I was one of 42 people chosen out of a 100+ people who applied. My mentor is the special assitant to Long Beach's city manager.

If you feelin like a pimp, go and brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off
You is crazy baby, don't forget that boy told you
Get, that, dirt off your shoulder

so what am i doing now? i'm brushing the dirt off my shoulders!
