UCLA

Not in.

Actually, I've been "not in" for while now...

I found out on... my birthday.

Yeah. That was fun.

Actually, I WAS really upset about it, at first. I got a good half-hour of sobbing in before a friend of mine put the situation in perspective for me. That was really sweet of him, and I owe him a lot for it (mainly, I owe him the fact that I was able to blow out the candles on my 18th birthday cake without tears streaming down my eyes).

Another friend of mine pointed out that it was mostly a hit to my ego.

I never really wanted to go to UCLA... But I can't help but equate a rejection by UCLA to a rejection by Berkeley...

I find out about Berkeley on Thursday. My hopes aren't very high, and though I'm sure I'll be upset if I don't get in, I think that I got most of my rejection-related emoness out of my system with UCLA.

Btw, congratulations to everyone who DID get into their schools!
