Rejected

March 16, 2004 By 4 Comments

My dorm has a “Wall of Shame” where students display the rejection letters they get from schools, jobs, and internships. It’s a way of sharing the stresses and sometimes miseries of being a graduating senior with no guarantees about what the next year will bring. Well, I haven’t applied for any jobs or grad schools, but that doesn’t mean I can’t have a spot on the wall. I just wish my parents weren’t so harsh in the postscript.

    Just wanted to report that our recruitment for your replacement in our organization is going smoothly. Currently, the leading applicant is a Swedish exchange student named Ilse who is double-majoring in massage and exotic dance. Mom is a bit negative on her but she’s the number one candidate on my list!

    By the way, the dog is looking a bit more nervous than usual, especially when I’m cleaning the gun.

    I am now officially scared of your parents (although after reading his comment, your dad seems like he and I think alike)
