i. don't. care.

...there's a message board on the UT-law-accepted-students-site where current students and adviser-types answer questions. knowing i want to teach in china, i asked who i should write to to ask for a deferral for a year. a different prospective student piped in with: *omg! i'm doing to same program! oh how exciting! squeakidy squeak squeak! oh yay! china, eek!* (or something along those lines... i forget the exact wording)

so i reply with: yeah, it sounds pretty exciting. here's my e-mail, if you wanna chat a bit...

and today i get a massive e-mail from her detailing the 16 schools she applied to, how she's already been accepted to berkeley, the u of chicago, vanderbilt, ect. and how it's so hard to decide where she wants to go, and how she graduated last semester and is now interning in d.c. and teaching with kaplan, and blablabla...

...

...

...whatthefuck, bitch, really? ... that's just so. great. for. you.
