So it really bothers me that this is our society’s way of using women to grab our attention.

I mean, does she have to be topless and in that pose? With that, I find this much more tasteful…

…and I’m sure you all would agree.

This has been a PSA by David, aka paranoid-android92.

awwwwwww yeah. hahaha

Decisions Update #2

So, MIT Decisions came out today. I was deferred to Regular Decision. So, I guess it wasn’t a yes, but it wasn’t a no. I can live with that. I mean, to be deferred, you need to be one of the top of the non-accepted Early Action people.

I can live with this. Just have to wait until March to find out for sure what is going to happen. Now, just to wait for Monday, for UChicago’s decision.

I’ve been here before. This was the exit to Caltech.

Rejection

So, I guess I just need to face the facts. I was denied from Caltech. The admissions blog I check religiously. The place I could wander around for hours, and never get bored. The school that always seemed better and better for me. Gone.

I guess I could have predicted this. I mean, I did not get a perfect on my ACT. I come from a small school. I didn’t do amazing in anything, comparatively. And then, my counselor told me something that really seemed to sink into me.

Is this fate? Maybe I was never made to go to Caltech. I mean, while I was there, the song “The Show Goes On” got stuck in my head, and reminded me of Caltech ever since. But this song isn’t about happiness or acceptance. Its a song about moving on and getting over things. And I guess thats what I have to do.

Or was this politics? It irks me that those who come from better schools, go to better schools. That just because I am from a small town, and a small school, that I am discriminated against. I’m sure someone from Fenwick or New Trier made it into Caltech. But why not me? Its a sad world we live in if this is the reason. If all anyone is really interested in is money.

But I guess I just need to move on. There is no point in mourning over something that was not meant to be. I can just hope for the best in my other two decisions coming up.
