stressstressstress
I will not go crazy.
Today was the SPU full-tuition scholarship competition, and I think it went ok. I had a good interview with the prof who teaches composition, and I met a lot of nice people who were "competing" against me. We were all kinda nervous, which was a bond. Then Dr. John Medina, a brain scientist, spoke about stress and education. He reminded me a little of Ray Rempt.
Once I was home, my mom and I tried to iron out my schedule for visiting the two schools, and also tried to iron out my schedule in general for the next month. It is incredibly complicated and I have things going on everyday until June, it seems like, and I want summer (sob sob).
BUT I will not go crazy. And speaking of crazy, I just read Ionesco's "Rhinoceros" for English. How would you feel if I turned into large, one-horned and tough-skinned animal? Would you be alarmed?
I would not be alarmed, because I think the emotional range of rhinoceri are fairly limited. But that is beside the point.
