Oh my – I should be busy with an application right now, but I was so gripped with emotion just now that I just had to post this:
I LOVE THE MIT APPLICATION BLOGS
Every time I read an entry I feel myself nodding, marvelling at the fact that THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO THINK THE SAME WAY I DO! Who exhibit the same patterns of thought and examine their surroundings under a magnifying glass and ponder incessantly and tirelessly and pour it all out in writing <333
Look at this entry about being average. I have that niggling fear in my head all the time.
Or this entry about being qualified for MIT. Touche. (I love the ending, btw – apart from assuaging some of my fears, it also showed me that compassion is still appreciated, even amongst super-smart individuals whom one perceives to be less in need of human interaction. Stereotypes, gah.)
Or this entry about children, also by Anna H.
These blogs make me want to know these people, to talk to them and pick their wonderful minds and discuss Things with them! I love this very human face of what is perceived as an exclusive, elite institution.
If I get to be in such an environment in Uni – that great looming Unknown – I’ll be happy.
