The Maturation of KD
It is so hilarious that I am so excited about what I am excited about. I mean the more I just look at the ever-expanding smile on my face, the funnier it gets. I love it.
Tomorrow, I have to go to my interview for the UAB Honors Program. Thus far, they only have 3 pieces of information to base my candidacy on: My application (from which they recieved my academic background, which is good, but not stellar), my essay (which let's them know what type of things interest me and how well I can organize and express my thoughts, feelings, motivations, etc.), and the 2 recommendations that my teachers from the Ada Long Creative Writing Workshop wrote (which lets them know how other people, people of immense intellectual caliber, view me).
I always just knew, that no matter what it was that I was going for, if I reached the interview stage, I am in. I win. Game over, no overtime. But this isn't like any other goal I've ever set; not like anything I desired before. This interview is going to be conducted by absolute geniuses. Like, literally, some of the most brilliant thinkers in the world. And my task is to gain their approval, their acknowledgement of my intellect, in order to join those ranks.
Unbelievable task ahead of me. And I couldn't be happier.
This will be the proving factor. The one moment that will cement all the high praise I give myself, this immeasurable ego I possess, into fact. If these people truly believe that I rival them in brilliance (or potenial brilliance), then my waning self-esteem will hoisted to the stratosphere and permanently engraved there.
If they don't...it will plummet to the depths of Hades.
With the stakes so high, and the reward so great...how can I not be happy? If the oppurtunity to prove myself to brilliance personified isn't euphoria alone, the fact the I (and a large handful of great minds) actually believe I can do it, pushes everything into overdrive.
This is what thrills me now. This is what excites me. This is what makes me happy.
