thanks saradsun and jdxf, and everyone else for commiserating. im doing better today, but hoping that the stanford rejection doesn't make its way into my mailbox today. that would probably stifle the recovery process...
this may sound silly, but i think one of the hardest part of being rejected is telling people. i feel like there's a group of people who don't really understand the law school admission processthink since i'm "smart" that i would obviously get into harvard, yale, etc. i really don't look forward to explaining to those people that i've been rejected. sigh.
This is EXACTLY why I told my parents that I didn't bother applying to HLS and SLS. The inevitable conversation would have been much too hard to bear.
I was talking to the girl who gave me a haircut last week, and this is how out conversation went:
Girl: "So, are you graduating"
Me: "Yup, can't believe it. it's gone so fast"
G: "What are you doing when you leave here?"
Me: "Well, I'm going to be going to law school."
G: "Oh, where do you want to go?"
Me: "I'd love to be at upenn or berkeley next fall."
G: "Why don't you apply to a really good school like harvard? I kinda thought you were smart"
AS SHE
CUTS MY HAIR!
