frustration.
I am writing a personal statement for college.
I've always felt like I had an artist's soul without an artist's talents, and that my best works of art came in the form of sentences. I have never had trouble with words. They are my beautiful creations and I do with them what I please, and what pleases me. Also, as evidenced by my previous statements, I have never had trouble talking myself up.
College is hard and I haven't even gotten in yet.
I cannot write a personal statement. I'm trying. I have thoughts, ideas, in my head but when I try to weave them into typed words they splatter about the page like spin art, only sloppier. Why is this happening to me? I am a writer. This should be the easy part of applying. Everything sounds too forced, or too formal, or too arrogant.
I just want to go to London.
Maybe my expectations are too high, or maybe I completely underestimated the application process. Actually, I think both these things are true. When I applied to community college straight out of high school, it was more of a sign up sheet than an application. I'm not sure they're legally allowed to turn anyone away. Now I'm trying to get into good schools, competing against other intelligent and accomplished people, and I am feeling pathetic.
In closing, hello again old friends. Perhaps I will let you know how this turns out, but probably only if it's good news.
