And the
Universe said,
Ha! The
light at the end of the tunnel is, in fact, a
train after all.
The best laid plans of mice and men, and
college students,
et cetera, oft
go BOOM. Just because things looked like they were working out, doesn't mean they are. You followed the
treasure map, turned the final corner, and stepped into an
Escher print gone mad.
And the
Universe said,
Muahaha.
Deal with it,
mortal. That's your
job.
Note: This node was created when I had just found out that I had not been admitted to Berkeley for grad school. A week or so later, I received my letter of acceptance from Stanford. Maybe I should node up "And the Universe said, Teehee! Gotcha!"...
