F*ck! I got 650 for SAT II: Writing. Civilised words can't even begin to describe the anguish in me now. @#$%%^%$@!#$%! !@%^*^$#$&^$^%##$$^@@#$
Yes, yes, I know grades don't define a person's intelligence or his self-worth, but I can't help feeling stupid - very stupid. I'd studied for the test, and this? Life is never fair, but who am I to complain? Life is never fair to most of us and there more important issues for me to gripe about: famines in Africa, the insurgency in Fallujah, Palestine-Israeli conflict, Taiwan-China dispute, high oil prices and the twin deficits of the US. Aargh!! Who am I kidding? My problem is the biggest problem now – at least to me. So people, bear with me.
I guess I can more or less write off my chances of going to UPENN now, unless a miracle – a really HUGE one bestowed on me by all the higher powers in this world or out of this world - happens.
