I keep forgetting, like Michael McDonald.

Yesterday in the mail I got my financial aid packet from Antioch AND (finally) my rejection letter from Bennington. I can't believe I forgot to mention either, probably because 1) I can't understand all the info regarding my loans other than what lines to initial, and 2) I wasn't surprised or hurt by the Bennington letter. In fact, I was rather appalled by what their obvious form letter said: "we are unable to offer you a position in our program. We know you are disappointed by this." Whatthefck? Um, actually, no I wasn't disappointed by it at all. I mean, maybe if it had happened several weeks ago or if I had been invested in your program, but not now that I'm excited by the school I chose. But thanks for playing, you pompous jerks.

That kind of makes me think of a form rejection I got once from a literary magazine. It went on for paragraphs about how nobody likes to be rejected, and being writers themselves the editors know just how much hard work I put into my manuscript and how they really hope I don't get discouraged by this rejection because unfortunately they just can't bring themselves to publish me.

And I was all like, bitch please.
