the rejection

high school seniors are moaning and groaning about getting rejected from schools, but there is the other side that i just realized isn't considered. we then have to reject all the schools that accepted us that we don't want to attend. granted, it is not such a personal attack to reject the school rather than the school rejecting the individual.

today i informed Syracuse that i was not going to enroll there. i sat and had qualms with my mom for a few minutes and then clicked the button, mainly because i want to make the $12,000 a year available to someone else, since i have the same opportunity at a school i am more likely to attend (Puget Sound).

so today, i had my first rejection, except i was rejecting them instead of them rejecting me... unless you count me deciding not to finish my application to Cal Poly.
