March 2011
Both of them went to Yale, so when I found out I was rejected, I ran to them excitedly and yelled “HEY GUYS GUESS WHAT?” just to get their hopes up.
They didn’t think it was funny.
I did.
Almost as funny as when I told them I thought Harvard was better at the sciences.
Maybe its a good thing I’m not going there.
not 100% sure because i’m on three different waiting lists but probably sewanee.
i’m visiting this weekend!
Whoop de fucking do.
Still requested a paper copy - just so I can burn it.
he can play Blaine’s father AND mother, or, you know, something more normal.
I just want him there.
What am I supposed to say? No I won’t drive you to the airport? No, I won’t wait for you during your surgery?
Shut up and stop thanking me. It’s not like I really wanted to do this. I had to.
I have this problem where I think I’m a lot smarter than I actually am. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I broke 2000 on the SAT, but in my head that I’m a motherfucking genius. So I applied a bunch of places. Yale, UNC, Davidson, Vanderbilt, William and Mary, Kenyon, Sewanee, UVA and then two safeties. I’m now heard back from all of them except for two (William and Mary and Yale, and seeing how everything else has gone, I’m sure as hell not getting in to either of them), and I’ve only gotten in to Sewanee and my safeties.
What the fuck? What the actual fuck?
I can’t really see myself going to any of the places I’ve gotten in to, and I can hope that I get in on waitlist at UNC or Kenyon, but chances are slim. I have no idea what the fuck I’m supposed to do.
Maybe I can take a gap year and travel or work or something.
I just can’t see myself actually enjoying any of the possible futures. I hate not knowing what’s going to happen.
yeah something like that. maybe five.
