Just castles in the air, love, castles in the air...



I must be crazy. Of all the colleges I had to choose from, I had to pick the one that no one from my school has ever made it into as my top choice. That's right, dears, my top choice school is now that lovely little place the locals call "Ha'vard". Yes, I loved some of the others schools that I visited, like University of Virginia, but there was just something about it. My dad and I had gotten a bit lost in Cambridge and were running late, but as I walked into Harvard Yard, I just... relaxed. It looked like what I had always pictured a college to be. Actually, forget that. It WAS what I had always pictured a college to be. I finally felt like I had found the school where I belonged. However, I refuse to get my hopes up about my chances of getting in, so even if you think I can, I will not believe you. I'd prefer to believe I won't make it and be surprised if I do than think that I'll make it and be disappointed. Until I find out for sure, though...I'll keep dreaming.
