Thanks Pete.

If David believes that I said “I replaced him,” he heard me wrong.
I have a tendency to mumble and sometimes that gets me in
trouble. I don't believe that David reads my Blog, but Pete if
you wouldn't mind relaying this message to him and apologize
for me I’d appreciate it. I would like to clarify. Thanks again.

Peter, my intentions are not to "transfer" out of the Fine Arts School. In fact, I chose Wash U because of its amazing facilities. For me not to utilize such facilities would prove ignorant on my part. As for the rest of Wash U's departments, I also plan on utilizing those facilities. If you do research on Wash U and the other schools to which I applied you would notice that I chose schools that encouraged double majoring possibilities. You have jumped to conclusions with out getting the facts from the horses mouth. I once said that by getting in through the art school I could and will utilize all other facilities, but I never made claims to abandoning my artistic interests. If you had talked to me directly you would have discovered this earlier. To your comments about my recent
“attitude,” I would have to claim ignorance. I have said nothing to Jeff or any others in your group in the past few days. If I am acting crudely I surely am not aware. I have only received bitter comments from David so far. saying such things as "I do not deserve It." I have tried to be supportive of him and I wish him the best, but it is hard to support those who insult your intelligence. Wash U would not make an arbitrary judgement. I realize this. I also realize that David has no effect over a college's decision. That idea alone has kept my piece of mind. However, I would like you to remember that I am not the villain in this situation, and neither is David. I wish that people would stop forcing blame on those who have no control. What ever I have done to stir up controversy, beyond that of getting in to Wash U, I apologize for. Though, unless proven otherwise I do not believe there is anything I have done wrong. I admit that I have enjoyed the idea of me being in college, but I do not think that I have gone too far with that enjoyment. To your comments about my "grades and test scores," I would appreciate your refrain in making comments about my intelligence without proof. I would hardly consider myself "sub-par." I work very hard at academics and am less of a slacker than one might think. I have never had you in a class and do not believe that you have any right to judge my performance academically. I am occupied with many extracurricular activities which may hinder my grades slightly but once again I would never consider myself "sub-par." My acceptance went through the same filtering system as David's with only one supplement, a slide portfolio. I'm not saying that the portfolio did not help me, but you seem to be forgetting that the portfolio is not the most important part of the application. In fact, it counts about the same as the list of extracurricular activities I submitted. Once again, I work very hard at what I do whether it be extracurricular or academic. Maybe I do not spend as much time behind the books as does David. However, that does not mean that I am "sub-par." I hope that I have clarified any misunderstandings, and I hope this Blog clears up those issues that are in question, and hope that this will be the conclusion of the name calling for now. Thanks.

Oh and Kristin...thanks for your support.

That last joke had noting to do with the Japanese. It had
to do with those who drive tricked out Japanese cars. Like
Henry Hunter or the people in The Fast and the Furious.

Oh And I'm sorry Peter (E) about your bitterness to my wash u entry.
I don't know why you are bitter, but apparently you think that
I'm not deserving. Because I plan on majoring in art does not
mean that I found a back door. Deny it all you want, but I have talked to
many who say you feel this way. In some ways, the school of art
has been proven more restrictive than that of the arts and sciences.
Just because it is restrictive in a different field that does not mean
that it is not a challenge. I expect an illogical rebuttal from you
to my comments I have made, but at least this way you are no longer
talking about me behind my back. Either tell it to my face or move on.
I don't like hearing insults through other people. Thanks.
