Caroline in Applicationland and other stories.
If someone invented a machine that fabricated time i'm sure he would be the richest person in the world. And he'd deserve the wealth. If you think about it, although most of us don't wanna admit, our lives revolve around time, time for school, time to eat, time to get up and go to bed, time to have sex, time to take showers. And even when we're on vacation we, more or less guide our activities through our watch, time to go to the beach and the right time to get a tan (since it's not advisable to get sun from 10 to 3). No matter where we choose to go or what we choose to do time is always there, it's one of the only things that follows us 24/7, night and day and it's certain that it'll always be there.
I have now in front of me Concordia University's application. It's here, right in front of me and i can't hlp but simply stare at it and hope that my hands will at some point reach for a pen. Yes, i'm scared. It sounds very cliche, but i honestly thought this moment was never going to come, and believe me, i was happy with it not coming, i was happy with the idea that one day and a long time from now it was gonna come. But hey, it's here. Maybe the same guy who would invent that machine that fabricates time could also invent a machine to go back in time and freeze there. Two machines, both related to time. In this situation, i can't help but think that we are slaves of time and if we are is time the only thing that really counts?
I have in front of me everything i dreamed about all these years. But at the same time, it looks so unatengible, so unreal. I read the application. They want a portfolio. A letter of intent. An essay. Two letters of recommendation. I guess i'll put all my money together and buy the first machine, the one that fabricates time. I look through my many works that are portfolio material. Not that bad, I do have stuff, some incomplete, some pretty okay. Now, i just gotta put it together. Just put it together? How long is that gonna take? The letter of intent...that sounds important. I better start that one soon. An essay? What the hell?? Isn't the letter enough? I can't help but think that the only reason they make you write an essay is to make the program look hard and competitive and impossible to get into. They succeeded. Well, ok, i'll do that too it's not like i've never written any essay is it? Last thing are the letter of recommendations....now one things let me just check if that is optional (who knows that might be another little trick). And....no, they are not optional. Well, next step then is to think of all my teachers. Actually I guess I can do that on monday...I'll actually go see them and hopefully they'll see me and give me a hug and give me he letters and confess they are corrupt, they like me and they'll actually talk to the people at Concordia to guarantee that i'll get in. Uhu. It's ok, don't panic...I mean you only got three hundred other assignments that are due before March 1st (also my university deadline). I can do it, I just gotta stop falling asleep at night and inject caffeine on my vein. After all, it's worth it. It's definitely worth trying and much more worth it if i get accepted....oh yeah...then i'll be celebrating... and if i'm very lucky I'll still have someone to celebrate it with.
