So me and Alex were both trying to get into this Honors seminar class at school. It was about Fairy tales and the class includes a trip to France, germany and Denmark. I had to write an essay and fill out an application to get in. I was pretty sure I made the cut. There were only 30 applications and 16 chosen for the class. Well, I did not get in.
I feel like shit.
My essay was good. I have a really good gpa. what else could I possibly do?
Alex got in, so I am really happy for him.
The stupid thing is that they sent me an email and said, "because of your outstanding academic record, you have been chosen as one of the four alternates if anyone drops." Who is going to drop this class? No one.
I don't mean to be so negative, but basically I just feel rejected which is definately the worst feeling in the world. When you have tried your hardest for something and it still was not good enough.
I know it's just a class. It is not that big of a deal. But I don't handle academic rejections very well. It is the one thing I am good at. If I do not have that, I don't know what.
Geez.
Maybe I did not get in so that I can move to Chicago.
??
Maybe.
