Blah blah "for a reason"

Week 2 at work! Feels nice to have something to do, except I really don't have anything to do yet. They are still figuring out what projects to give me. In the meantime, I have been browsing "appropriate websites" aka NYTimes, LATimes, MSN, etc. to kill the time. Here is an interesting article about Teach For America that I found on NYT: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/12/education/12winerip.html

Asked how hard getting in is, James Goldberg, Duke ’10 said, “I’d compare it with being accepted to an Ivy League grad school.”

Does this make me feel better about being rejected? Slightly. Does it erase all questions about my rejection? Not really. So how do I feel now?

I feel okay.
