<p>Ah, yes…my mid-year report is in already (it got sent in along with the secondary school report). However, it seems one of my teachers took into consideration my courses and involvement in sports, and noted in his recommendation about how I have matured over the years, and that he now commends me on my solid work ethic. Not much, but a slight reassurance there I guess.</p>
<p>All I hope now is that the rest of my application is solid enough, and that Oberlin will get the impression that I am not a short-time sprinter, but rather a late-bloomer-long-distance runner (wait, does that sentence make sense? :() If I do manage to get in, I am going to work my guts out throughout my years at college. If I don’t get in, then there’s one hard life lesson I will have learned. </p>
<p>Thanks so much D’yer Maker and macmill! I truly appreciate your comments. I will just keep up with my studies, and wait and see what will happen. Guess you never know how things will play out anyway.</p>
