Denied

If you ever wondered what a rejection letter looks like, let me show you. . . 

This is what I get for blathering on about my passions last night. Here's the official email from Michigan State, complete with "IBSB applicant" instead of my name. I guess they really had a lot of people apply. I should not be disappointed, really, I knew my chances were nil. Why do I allow myself to raise any hopes at all? The truth is, I probably should not have applied in the first place. How presumptuous of me. 

 

To add to the fun of this day, I was forced (due to class scheduling conflicts) to back out of going on the leadership retreat put on by MESA. It was this coming weekend, at UC Santa Cruz. My MESA director is not happy with me, and I do not blame him. I would not be happy with me either, backing out this close to the trip. 

It is not like I wanted to do this, though. I was really looking forward to it! It did not cost anything, my friends were going, the activities and seminars planned seemed really interesting, plus the FOOD. Cannot forget the FOOD. Ugh. I guess that is what I get for taking too many classes, it literally means you do not get a life outside of school.
