hey, me too!

I think I'm going to end up tweaking/"recycling" my Chicago one for Columbia and the common app, because I'm that lazy.

did and done.
columbia/common app (because i'm using the same one for both...and possibly also my brown personal statement...) are all that i've done, though.
i hate supplements So Much. and also just this Whole Thing.

If I were you, applying to all of those places, I'd probably shoot myself. I'm so glad I only have to finish 2 more apps. (My mother let me cut down the number when I bluntly told her that I didn't really want to go anywhere else anyway.)

I also hate how I have to create this cardboard figure/consistent ethos of myself and agressively Market it to these places. My Chicago essay ranted about this a little.

oh, it's...not that bad?
that's a lie.
there might be some masochistic pleasure in it, but i'm no masochist, and i have an english essay due thursday. hence...yeah, shooting myself might happen.

did your admissions counselor send you a letter? i got my we're-not-giving-you-money packet and then a handwritten letter in response to my essays about how well i would fit in at uchicago.

and i said,
"what the fuck." and that was that.

tis true...though i've lost consciousness about that cardboard figure. i have this odd "well, if they don't like it, then i probably don't belong there" thing. hence, mentions of gaydom or objectivism, which my I Know Things About College Essay Success warned me last year to leave out, make it in.

ah, well.
