It was only a dream

fellmamaWell.
I got rejected from Berkeley today. One down, seven to go. I've had a lot of difficulty explaining this to people, but here goes one more try: I probably won't get into grad school. See, I applied to places that are a)high-caliber and b)extremely selective. I didn't apply to any safety schools. So not getting into one most likely equals not getting into any. I don't understand why this is so hard to grasp. The fact that thus and so on the committee at University X is a dick has nothing to do with my lack of qualifications.
I honestly don't know what to do if I don't get in anywhere. I have no actual "skills" in anything I'd enjoy making a living at.
This makes it very difficult to care about my Latin homework.
You'd think they'd at least send me a fucking letter.
Edit, 10:36 PM: Y'all are fabulous. Seriously. Europe needs my cracker brain? Amazing Jesus? I seem to have surrounded myself with people who always know exactly the right thing to say. And if I don't get into grad school, I'ma be a bum. I hear there are lots of opportunities for career advancement--in a few years, I might make hobo!
