I'm back
Geez, I haven't written in this thing for so long. It's a wonder they even kept my account open.
But I guess now is as good a time to revisit as any. I have a couple things on my mind anyhow, and since no one really reads me anymore, I can be frank.
Yesterday I found out I was accepted to Harvard's Graduate program. Amazing. I'm dumbfounded. Tonight, out of sheer boredom and narcissism I opened up the "Harvard" file on my desktop and reread the essay and resume that got me in. So many things... I've done. But to me--and this isn't false modesty--it all doesn't seem to add up to much. I guess I'm suffering the freshman dread. Apparently, most Harvard students believe that they were the last person in the pile selected. Some fluke of the system that slipped through the cracks--a sham. That's what they say anyway.
I shouldn't feel that way. And a big part of me is very happy. So why is it I can't sleep anymore?
