Music: OK Go - Good Idea At the Time
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

UNC Chapel Hill is officially late with their application response. I got a response today, but it was from St. John's in Queens.

I was accepted and offered a $20,000 annual scholarship....

...I think I'm going to pass.

I know this sounds weird but in my gut I just don't think it's the right place for me. I'm twitchy and nervous and a general basket case at times but I actually have pretty good instincts. And here's what my instincts are telling me:

If I get in the UNC, I will go there
If I do not get in to UNC, but I get in to American I will go to American
If I get invited to both UNC and American, I will go to UNC
If both of them shitcan me I will wait out another year and apply to the night division at Fordham. What I'll do in that year I couldn't tell you.

But what I'm not going to do is give up. Nor am I going to just settle. Part of growing up means knowing what you want and not giving up at the first sign of trouble. Goddamnit I'm smart enough to go to a good law school and when I get out, wherever I end up working is going to be damned lucky to have me. Make no mistake: waiting out another year will SUCK but if that's how it has to be, that's how it has to be.

I only get one shot at this. I'm not going to fuck it up.
