Reed

I got an information packet today from Reed College, a private institution in Oregon. This is the only college I want to go to, but they only accept 40 transfer students each fall. I guess it's understandable because the enrollment is just over 1400 and the student to professor ratio they fervently maintain is 10:1. I like it but I'm nervous. A lot of scholars (not just alumni, mind you) describe it as the most intellectual undergraduate university in the country, something that scares and excites me. I think I would fit in there but I don't have the commitment to knowledge that they seem to require. I don't read nearly as much as I used to, nor do I study. I mostly play City of Heroes. However, I think the part of me that desperately wants to go there shows that maybe there is a little bit of intellectual left inside. It gives me hope.

I feel nauseous but only in my head, so I think I'm going to leave health half an hour early or maybe not go at all. I'm really not sure if I should do that though. I don't know how many absences I have left in that class...probably none. There's only three sessions left too, the last one being our final exam. It's all going to be over soon. The summer will come and I'll get depressed when I don't do anything. No, not this year though. I'm going to go to the gym religiously and find a personal trainer. I'm also going to get a job. I hope. Now is the time to start looking, I guess.

I better leave. There aren't any seats left in the computer lab and someone could probably use this to actually do something academic related.
