for mary
did they mean to break the applicants in half, or to see if we could take the torque?
of course I might get in. of course it is the school I want to go to. but the interview didn't make me cry and now I want to know if it was supposed to. or maybe they are just playing the odds that if I don't cry at the interview, they can just wait until I get the rejection letter. either way it seems pretty cruel.
after it was all over, and I couldn't do anything more to win over admissions, there was mary.
after I drove my old friend to her house in the U district. there she was, this tiny warrior sitting in the car, face bent toward her hands and I know she was smiling when she told me "oh abigail you have so much to learnasdoI."
I went to the interview thinking it was for graduate school, but maybe it was for Mary...
just to hear her wisened little voice lilt across the words to answer the question.

"Surprise! Here's a dear, long lost friend, to brighten your shaker of a day. Remember, I love to gift." That was God speaking. Abigail, you brought much delight to me with your visit. I will do my best to sneak into admissions and rework their computer system, just to ensure your acceptance. Considering I know nothing about hacking, this will take some time;). Mostly, I am looking forward to the next movement in your life, hoping it brings you closer to me! Your obvious passions for truth and LIFE will bring you much ahead.
