You know, in hindsight, I should've known. Against 1600 people. I know I'm not quite there yet, but I think I'm on the right track because I feel it: Like one of those toy track cars that you place into a groove and let it run, I can feel the groove I'm in and it feels right. The people around me have reaffirmed it. But I'm not quite there yet--this was always a long shot.
It's a bummer, but it's not going to kill me. It simply shows how big the world is, the number of talented people out there (not that I was ever unaware, I'm continually in awe), and I have to put myself out there on that playing field.
I will get there.
