It feels weird.
I was certain I would pass.
I did incredibly well in the exam.
I was so proud of myself.
I found original, out-of-the-box solutions.
I demonstrated advanced techniques and elegant composition.
Yet, I failed, and according to the points I got, I failed quite miserably.
It was far from a close call.
Either I don't know what they want, or we don't agree on what excellence means.
Do I even want to get into a school that doesn't think my style is good?
If getting in means changing my style - the style I'm so proud of, the style I think is freaking cool - what's the point?
Surely there's a way to get where I want to go without compromising my integrity?
I refuse to live (or die) in a box.
