post-class and breakfast, slightly more awake

sitting in pearlstone today I overheard someone say "I tried to read a book once...it didn't go well."

it's times like this that I regret attending goucher college...or being born into a world where people don't appreciate their own capacity to think - I don't know.

on the other hand, it really is beautiful out, isn't it?

as shown by the above statement, I don't think goucher's too incredibly exclusive. not that I think you're at the level of said person, but, well, I feel like either applicants have grossly exaggerated their abilities or goucher doesn't turn too many people down as long as they can pay.

as far as the money, work for scholarships.

as far as the stupidity...I will say that I regret going to goucher, and often times I will feel it. but I don't, really. I will get a lot out of this place so long as I put a lot in, and as far as personaly satisfaction is concerned, I think this place won't let me down too often. and if you want smart people, I can point you to some brilliant ones that I know here. it's just that there are certain types of people who I've been trying to escape my whole life, and at each level up I think I will, but I don't. I tell myself that if I'd gone to ivy-league or near ivy-league I'd finally have done it, and some part of me does recognize that the world is simply filled with them and I'd find them there as well, the rest of me just doesn't want to admit that.

Goucher is pretty exclusive...well it was when we were applying. Clearly they're accepting more people now but it definately used to be more exclusive (why do I keep wriitng expulsive??).
