hmmm

I think perhaps now I really need some time to find my own voice. It's getting complicated within myself but most times the poems that I write come pretty close to representing what I feel. I have such a hard time trying to articulate my words these days. I never have the courage to say the things I want to say or that I feel like I really don't have anything interesting to say.
It seems there so many distinguished individuals in upenn and it still feels like that with the admission rate to ivy leagues being so low, how in the world did I manage to get in here?

Hey there, Lin-Lin! I definitely get that feeling of never having anything interesting to say (you might have noticed this on the phone sometimes :P), because my life right now is pretty much school school school. Most of what I've learned sounds pretty uninteresting to anyone who doesn't already have a passion for electronics or math or science, so... I'm sometimes at a loss for stuff to say. Our greatest assets are our minds, but we needn't always be entertainers. Sometimes boring is fine ;)

As far as admission to UPenn...
Not to nitpick, but isn't that point irrelevant? You're a very intelligent lady, Linda, make no mistake about it.
Unless you hunt down each and every person in the admissions process at UPenn, you'll never know [i] exactly [/i] for what reason you got in. It's up to you to judge yourself (and if you ever forget why you're in a top college, call me or any of your friends; we'll remind you :) ).
