the point at which lying to oneself is necessary for survival
This morning in University 1111, we had to go around and tell why we chose Transylvania. I realized that I had no other reason than money. I came here because of money. Of course, I didn't say that, I said something about small class size and liberal education. But the truth is that Transy was my last choice, my fall back. I know I have a great opportunity here--and I'm not ungrateful at all. I'm even happy here. Sometimes, though, I just get so disappointed that I have to pretend I'm somewhere else, like American. And, furthermore, I know that, just as money is the reason I came to Transy, money is also the reason I didn't go to American.
