“What could be your biggest challenge? What keeps you from achieving your goals?”

Um, everything? Earth, wind, fire. Me. This bug that I didn’t see before coming out of the cracks, but now that I do I won’t let it touch me. Scraping whatever loose rock fragments I can from the wall, I drag my hand off the rough wedge of stone that could maybe be cool in an edgy way? Public school, man.

But because I am a #maturehuman I say, “HAHAH, maybe the fact that I try to function as at least three people at all times, that tends to get in the way. Darn 24 hours! Anyway, yeah, I definitely overextend myself, but there’s just so much that I want to do, you know?”

You know? I hope they know. But flip, this isn’t even college, this is a pre-college inquiry. I really didn’t even want to be at school today—first time in a while that I haven’t—and I could totally complain about how inadequate I felt talking to X from Z Academy. I liked it, though. Being tele-connected to a college rep from San Francisco outside of my fourth period art class by an invisible string o’ magic was almost like being out of school for 10 minutes. ♦
