after a weekend full of a flurry of college responses... it's settling, and people are actually figuring out WHERE they're going, which just blows my mind. for me, the weekends rejections were a little rough, i mean who likes hearing that a school doesn't think you're good enough for them? but after talking to my good friend Pragmatic Celia i remember that if they don't want me, i probably wouldn't like it. duncan and jacob, too, with their "everything works out" mentality--one that i usually have down so well. i mean, middlebury? what was i thinking! i rejected them a long time ago. haha.
so it's going to be Bard for me, i think. haha talked to Mrs Duncan today a little, about college, and she said that back when she was in high school, they called Bard "The Whore House on the Hudson"... so sounds like fun. anyway, i'm getting more and more excited about it, the more i read. apparently they have like 20 majors in various art fields, which is crazy, stuff like a major in sculpting or in figure drawing. also, they have sister schools in germany, hungary, russia, zimbabwe, south africa, france, manhatten, etc, etc, so i could do some major traveling. imagine a semester in africa... I got waitlisted at Vassar, so if i do end up getting in there, i'll probably go there, but if not, Bard's only a 20 minute drive north. i heard that Lindsay guest is going to vassar, and in a way it's kind of comforting knowing that there'll be someone i know close by...to get a ride home with, or maybe reminisce about Brunswick when i'm homesick. i'll have to talk to her abou that. at first i was sort of dissapointed--ok, i was--that i didn't get into one of the 'harder' schools, cause i think on some level everyone wants to go to a school that is known by the general populace.... it's a matter of getting over that and looking for one that is a fit... i think i've found it. and ok, i'm a little scared...
only about an hour and a half from NYC, i'll be able to visit Hunter-bound katey pretty easily, she'll be able to show me around the city. and then there's jill, duncan and celie in boston, garrett, sam and maybe max in DC, zac in montrael... i'm overwhelmed
(oh ps... i added WEIGHTS to the bar today when i was bench pressing! haha yaaay. baby steps, i know...)
