I'm here again to say two things:
1. I suppose the universe took pity on me and my recent defeat, because on this lovely magical Pi day, I received some glorious news. I got into the school of my dreams! I couldn't sleep at all last night -- I tossed and turned, overanalyzing poetry performances and worrying about what the morning would bring.
The decision was supposed to come out 9:26 a.m. (we need as many digits of Pi as we can get) , which was 8:26 a.m. in my house. I stumbled out of bed at 8:25, logged onto the portal -- no decision available. 8:30 -- same thing. I took a deep breath and waited (that is, I panicked).
I waited until 9:25, for a whole agonizing hour, and tried again. There it was, those beautiful words -- "We are pleased to ..." As of 9:25, I have checked my decision a total of 5 times, but nothing has changed. This was the school that I almost didn't apply to, even though I loved it dearly. I was afraid that being myself wouldn't be enough, that there was no way I would meet the standards for admission.
This was the school on whose application I was the most honest -- I was myself in the truest sense -- and it paid off.
2. Happy Pi Day! This is, without a doubt, the best Pi Day I have ever had :) I wish you all a lovely Pi Day!
