#9

I returned from New Orleans to a new message on the machine: someone from Bennington had some good news for me. With only two more verdicts out, I think it is time for me to make a decision. I am still on the waiting list at the U of MN, but I've begun to lose hope, begun to be content with the idea of low-res and next year. Perhaps this is the best option for me anyway.

It's so hard to tell. I told Ryan I wished I could make a decision with two other people--me, six years ago, and me, six years in the future. I want to make sure I'm not letting anyone down here, no version of myself.
