im so glad i went to that talk last night because it was so ridiculous and i think its ridiculousness gave me a reason to try

scott quoted a friend of his in saying that the best place to find yourself is in a place where you don't fit in. or something along those lines. and ive had the opinion here why a GOOD professor would wanna teach here (the ones that really get you going).. then it hit me that the best place for a professor to teach, or the most purposeful place, is in a place full of apathy and ignorance like here. why would i wanna go to a tiny school with a lot of liberal nuts who mostly agree on the same ideas? think of how many people at uva at apathetic NOW, but won't be in four years. think of how many people i know that are apathetic and that i could try to talk to... not saying im not apathetic, because i really can be, but there is so much to care about, so much to change, that i have no good excuse to be hopeless cause it can be done.

time to go to my oral interview
