Ugh. May as well bite the bullet and tell you I'm applying to college. ("You," she says, as if anyone is reading this.) Correction: I've applied to college. Boom. Done. In their inboxes, waiting for a little gold star or whatever the hell it is they DO to applications that get in.
And so far, I've heard nothing. Now, that's not really shocking. I mean, I wasn't expecting to. I applied early decision, and they clearly told me that I would know Mid-December. It is not mid-December. So should I be worried? You'd think not. You'd think.
Except that for some reason, everyone in MY state has ALREADY BEEN ACCEPTED. EVERYWHERE. The only thing at school right now is, "I got in! I got a lanyard! My daddy baked me a cake in the school colors!"
RAWR. I expected this from the On-Site Admissions folks. Those are not the kinds of places I'm applying (HAVE APPLIED. PAST TENSE, NOW GIVE ME A DECISION). But some of these kids are getting into other places. Like big STATE SCHOOLS. You know, the ones that middle-aged people gather their friends around to watch football games of while they reminisce about how much they partied while trying not to encourage similar behavior in their children. Those schools. The big rivalry here-I-am everyone's-uncle-and-his-dog-went-there we-have-specialty-stores-for-their-apparel type places.
And these, these schools are handing out acceptances like they're Halloween candy! And that early, too!
Ugh. I should have tried to fry smaller fish. That was my problem. Well, in any case, I'm not going to college at this point. Maybe I'll sit home and write a blog no one reads.
