I've been thinking about this all wrong... I've used the phrase "damned if I do, damned if I don't" frequently about Teach for America.
Such negativity, while perfect for princes of Denmark, doesn't suit me. This situation is so much better than I've thought. It's "win-win."

- If I don't get in, I'll have a lot more application work to do and then assured evening classes next year. What a pain.
- If I get in, I'll have two years of the hardest job in my life.

- If I get in, I will have gotten into the program that's "harder to get into than college," for which I have been groomed these past five years and at which I would be possibly quite adept.
- If I don't get in, I will have much more flexibility with where Austin, Al, and I get to go AND I'll be teaching students who are more interested in learning, possibly more interested in math, and, having been given a better education beforehand, they will know more and I'll be able to cover more interesting math.
