wtf?
I just posted to an applying to grad school community, and apparently I pissed off someone. or something. I'm actually quite insulted, and now I'm tempted to remove the post entirely.
all I wanted to know was whether or not I'd probably get into certain programs. apparently that was seen as asking people to tell me I'm awesome.
great.
now an entire community will think I'm pretentious.
do I come off that way normally?
am I thinking about this too much? probably.
maybe I should just remove it.
ARGH.
on an entirely different note, I've been called "little one" several times-- by different people and in different circumstances-- lately.
what is that supposed to mean? do I just seem that much younger to everyone, including those who are actually younger than me? or is it just b/c I'm short?
it's been such a weird week.
*update*
So maybe it wasn't all that bad. the girl responded back again, and it apparently wasn't quite as bad as I thought. still, I'm horribly embarrassed. it's just the wrong day for me to be making posts like that.
I really shouldn't drink caffeine; it makes me anxious. I interpret a lot of things as worse than they are. a LOT of things.
I'm so worried about grad school. and I shouldn't be, not yet.
