get into UC Berkeley

Time to face the music. I know, he knows, she knows, we all know, that this probably isn’t going to happen. Not because I don’t have the motivation to try harder, or because I lost my desire to attend the halls of Berkeley. It’s because I know it’s not going to fit into my plans for schooling this soon. I’d still like to go, perhaps for graduate school one day.

(And about that photo? I dunno. Somehow, it fit.)

I wasn’t the greatest student in high school. I mean, I took AP classes and whatnot, I excelled in English, the social sciences, art studies, etc. I was by no means a horrible student, but I just wanted to do things instead of sit in a desk, confined to a brick prison for eight hours a day, five times a week. I wrote, I sketched, I thought. I wanted to be free. I didn’t apply to UC Berkeley out of high school because I knew I had no chance of getting in, but I’m going to try harder in college; at least at LCC they can’t hold you in.

I have recently just gotten admitted into UC Berkeley for the Fall 2007 semester. I have transferred here after 2 years at a community college. In high school, I was one of those, “Oh, I don’t give a damn people” and then when I went to community college and set a goal for myself, I achieved it! Totally worth doing if you are ambitious enough.

Sooo…. I was rejected. However, I’m appealing the decision. I’m still quite hopeful that my application will be accepted upon closer inspection.

I got into Berkeley. YAY!
