freedom

So I got a letter from the Flinn foundation this morning.

And I did not get into the round of 76.

HALLELUJAH!

I appluad them for seeing thorugh my superficial sincerity, cuz, you know, I didn't want the Flinn from day one cause that would mean I'd have to stay in state. Granted, I still have to finish my MIT app and resubmit my RIT app fee waiver (cause they lost the first one!) but now I feel less restained and so I am glad. I mostly applied to it so Mom would be happy. Though now I don't know how to break it to her...

Although, to be honest, I really liked one of my essays. It was to comment on Einstein's quote that science and religion are opposite but essential comrades, or something like that. I analogized that prompt to the odd couple, and I thought it was pretty sweet.

I betcha I know what made them turn me down. I shouldn't have said that I originally thought that the Flinn was one of those fradulent, spam-based, will send your Viagra in a plain brown box type of websites. Well, it was the truth, and sometimes the truth is hard to take but it's not what they wanted to hear. It's the same thing with MIT. I don't want to sound like everyone else (MIT is the best school! I've always wanted to go to MIT! I wanna be a stuck up sophisticrat, too!! PLease accept me!!!) but I don't know guess I have to wait til April to see if my semi protest to the system was effective or not.

Side note: on my "Pregunta" blog my letter ends with "Thank you for your time and effort" and that is exactlywhat it says at the end of the MIT application forms, so is that being sarcastic or is it witty?
