i got accepted into Stanford Summer college program in march, and my life has been hell since then. Here i am 5 days before takeoff and i have just finished crying. My math teacher lives in san Francisco and volunteerd his sister to take me to Stanford. She accepted. I was happy TO BE so lucky I hate writing e-mails to strangers and was once again forced to do so. I hate writing emails to people because i know i'm being judged by them. so i have to try NOT TO Be rude. This is a one way road to disaster! I accidentaly wrote her that i would be arriving there at 12:25 am, instead of pm. A third of her reply was dedicated to my fumble with the english language. I then wrote her back, after about two weeks, and basically told her what to expect. I hope she doesn't feel the need to correct me again, i'll die!
I've tried to tell people about my fears about Stanford, and everytime i do, I'm reminded of how much it costs or of how stupid i am. I was actually dumb enough TO BE so sure i could confide in my mother's friend. I told her that the creative writing class was full, and that i was really upset. I told her, admitedly one of my greatest mistakes, that if they hadn't offered creative writng that i wouldn't have applied. Her reply, silence, a hard stare, a puff on her smouldering cigarette, a question "How dare you?" she stood and said it again waving her cigaretter at me as if it were some kind of pointer "How dare you?"
I can't explain how i dare TO BE however i was being, probably just myself, i can tell that no one understands. I try to explain that it's like having a mouth full of crumeling teeth and going to an optician, but that doesn't make any sense either.
My mother went on a rant the other day...she say's i've changed, she doesn't know who i am anymore. why? because i puked in a cab on the way home from prom, and appear to have no remorse. Fuck them all.
My mom insisted that i send the woman a picture, but i have none available. To BE so stupid She took a picture of me, while my dad yelled at me and threatened to throw things at me if i didn't face the camera. We can guess how that picture came out...
My mom then sent me the picture and advised my to send it to her. I kindly refused TO BE humiliated. She was kind enough to remind me that i shouldn't be angry when the woman doesn't come to pick me up at the airport.
To be...or not to be
Or to scream untill it passes
