I don't know how to feel...

All of my dreams of which I was so sure. All of my hopes. Gone. And I cannot pay for the education at Temple--I am not poor enough for their funding, but not NEARLY wealthy enough to pay for a year. I am going to go to a public college. A public school with a bunch of people who do not want to learn as much as I do, a bunch of alcoholics at age 18

Babe, I love you and I'm truly and terribly sorry from the bottom of my heart. They are FUCKTARDS, and as cliche as it sounds they just don't seem to see how wonderful you are. I owe you a phonecall and a long e-mail, but until then...think big hugs, okay? I'll talk to you soon.

You're amazing. Just remember that.

Thank you! I'm feeling much better now, I went out with my friends last night and also last night I found out that I am wait-listed at Smith--so they basically accepted me as long as a spot opens... I'll get a letter around Monday and it will give more details!
Thank you again! I love you Meredith!

Thank you Laney! I'm sorry myself that you are confused by "college shit". I know now that I can gel along alright even if I am not quite in the environment that I had hoped for. Plus I am on the waiting list at Smith College which is another all-womyn's college in Massachusettes. :)

Dear...I'm so sorry to hear about Bryn Mawr, but I'm glad you haven't given up. There are so many amazing places in the US and I'm sure you'll find one that will be right for you, ok?

And PS I wear sweatshirts from the school I got rejected from...so please, don't stress!

Thank you! That is kind of you. I do intend to wear my Bryn Mawr Sweatshirt with pride just as soon as I know where I am going for sure. :)

Peace!
