But There Are Dreams That Cannot Be

I am most upset to say that I was denied to both Cornell and Columbia. The emotional blow of looking online to see if I made it in and then seeing that I had been rejected to both was almost physically painful. I couldn't help but think if there was something I could have done differently. I mean, my sat score was excellent, my gpa was high, my class rank is great, I have numerous extracurriculars, I wrote a knock-em-dead essay (at least I thought), I met every single requirement that they had. Oh well, I guess you can't have everything.

Anyway, I didn't go to school today. I needed a day to get this out of my system. I don't think I could bare to have to go to school and act happy for everyone else when I'm burning inside.
