“Dear Mei Li:
The Yale Admissions Committee has completed its evaluation of this year’s candidates, and I am genuinely sorry to say that we are not able to offer you a place in the class of 2013.”
That’s that. Time to make some decisions!
A stand-still kind of weekend. September 8, 2008

This weekend has been a stand-still flurry of downtime. It consisted mostly of painting and the beginning stages of my college search. The searching is already giving me a headache. I grabbed a copy of The Princeton Review: The Best 368 Colleges at the library this weekend, accompanied by many hours of internet surfing and at least an hours worth of one sided parent discussions. This is the best time of my life.
The weather was flawless today, so i decided to try and paint on my back porch again. This was a mistake; this is always a mistake. The neighborhood 5-10 year olds crowd around and try to watch, ask questions, touch stuff, and squabble. I dont mind this really, becasue I love to encourage people about art. After about twenty minutes, repeating “Adam, please avoid eating the wet paint. Yes, Jasmine, you were here last time. Sable! Don’t climb on Hanlei’s bike! ” gets old. This is why I could not be a good teacher. No patience.
