I am not used to being the overdog. Life was much easier when I was an underdog. Now, with this school decision, everyone is being all supportive and schools are all accepting me and I don't know how to react to options or kindness. Is this what life is like for smart people? I've always wondered about them. Of course, there are always the outliers. Sure, Riles believes that I can do no wrong ("It's a professional program, they're not going to send you home on break and ask you to read 25 books, one a day"… no, that doesn't sound familiar at all...), Father thinks that even if I mess up I will be fine, and I'm feeling good about my choices, but TChu isn't buying.
Moi: Really, there is no 'wrong decision' here.
TChu: Unless you go against God's plan. Look how well that worked out for the Israelites.
Touche, TChu. And there's Sister Claire.
Sister: [School] is expensive. You should get a job.
Moi: But I have no expertise. And it's only a Master's program.
Sister: Hm. And you don't want to be a lawyer? They make a lot of money.
Moi: No.
Sister: You're sure you want to do this?
Not at all. Not at all.
PS. Ha. BriWi made a funny. And reports the news. A true Renaissance man.
