记于哥伦比亚大学录取之际
2011-12-09 09:47

早上六点。打开email里那个账户链接。淡定的输入密码。Click 'view your application decision'。电脑立马开始播放凯旋进行曲。Then I know, the wish two years ago has come true. But not necessarily the wish today.

'Congratulations! Dean James Valentini and the members of the Committee on Admissions join me in the most rewarding part of my job - informing you that you have been selected for admission to Columbia College.'

无论我收到的是'congrat'还是'sorry'，我知道，那一刻，决定人生未来的一刻，我第一次做到了不以物喜，不以己悲。“Congrat”，我会欣然接受。“Sorry”，我就free from ED binding了，possibilities will be endless. Anyway will work for me.

我的纠结，绝不是因为Columb不够好。做了那么多年的上实验教主，我很自然的想在申请上再做一次教主。不止一个朋友在听说我ED之后，摇头：you deserve better.
Perhaps, I guess.
Whatever. Columbia is perfect, at least to me, at least to the creed of DIY.
I AM DIY。在这个中介铺天盖地的年份里，我是快要灭绝的DIY党之一。除我本人和我爸妈外，没有第四个人看过我的essay或者其他任何申请材料。
