What's your plan for dealing with rejection?

Haha, it doesn’t matter…rejection, acceptance, it’s all good.

My acceptance plan?
Celebrate with a lot of friends (and buy dinner for one of them, heh).
Talk to the teachers who wrote recs for me. Fantasize about New York. Listen to Kraftwerk (I listened to Computer Love obsessively while in New York winter of sophomore year…it’s now totally associated with NYC in my mind). Then go off to Germany to spend Christmas with my dad. Yell at my mom for not caring where I go to college, just so long as she gets off cheap. Skip class the next day, walk around, tour my old haunts (Wisconsin winter notwithstanding). Ruin my attendance record in general. Chainsmoke half a pack of Black Djarums.

About that election…yeah, chances are we’ll get our letters before we find out who the president will be.
