As of ten hours ago, I was pretty decided I was going to
William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia next fall. It's a great school, amazingly strong IR/Global Studies/Public Policy programs, and a good price. Hell, I was planning on becoming a resident of Virginia so my senior year I could just pay $16K.

Providence College accepted me too.
I just found out this morning
Rutgers admitted me. I have to email them to find out what the aid offer is.

I feel very befuddled. Probably because even though I thought I would get into every school I applied to, I didn't actually think it would happen. And it did.

I wonder if that means I should have devoted more time to my applications as a senior in high school, instead of trying to get everything done at once while balancing a breakdown and way too many responsibilities.

This grown up shit is weird.


Mad Girl’s Love Song

Sylvia Plath

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;

I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
 
The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
 
I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
 
God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
 
I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
 
I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
