thewalkI pretty much have to go to Harvard now because the whole school and everybody I know here now knows I want to go to Harvard or Columbia.
I've been telling people freely that it's my dream, so I guess that shows I'm not really scared about whether or not I can make it happen. You hear so many stories about people trying to keep things like their driver's test a secret because they don't want to jinx it or have to tell people they didn't make it after all is said and done...but that's never been the case with me. Even with JET. I had no back-up. I told everyone.
I think this says something about me. Maybe that's a sign of confidence? I'm a little proud of what it says - not just that is shows that I don't feel ashamed of telling people my dreams - but also that I don't think I actually DO have to worry about getting in. Not that I'm too special, I just think I'm smart about getting what I want. I'll do what I need to do to be good enough.
See you among the bricks and wrought iron gates, Professor Sebenius!
