the brain works in mysterious ways
so sometimes, my mind does this weird thing where during my sleep, i can explore stuff. (i know this sounds like i do a lot of drugs, but really, i’ve only mixed tequila and pain killers and that was back in high school)
so early this morning, somehow, i was dreaming about my applications (even though they were submitted on sunday night) and i was somehow going through my Tufts essays. And oh noes, I realized I wrote a really shitty essay on the account that I wrote it 2 hours before the deadline. In my dream, I was like, “where is that sentence that ties the whole thing together? why doesn’t this make any sense?” Finally, I got so angry at myself and woke up pissed off. Opened up that file and god, I wanted to dig up a hole and die.
so yes, i can write off getting into Tufts.
and my brain freaks me out every now and then.
well to make myself feel better, here is a list of why i probably wouldn’t have liked tufts
-stupid new england accents (sorry, you can’t deny this)
-location doesn’t work well for IR despite their “ooh fancy alumni network” marketing materials. i’ve worked in marketing, it’s just a ploy, i can tell.
- weather is only nice during the summer… and i assume I’ll be working somewhere else so i won’t even enjoy it.
-i don’t like the cold or the snow
-I hate sports obsessed/college towns/areas.
Things I might have liked about Tufts:
-refugee studies
-cross registration with Harvard
-cost of living in Medford is considerably lower than in DC
oh well. whatever.
