I'm looking forward to getting to work at Varsity...

...Frustrated, even. But not to the point that I wanted to quit. Rather, I wanted to be better. I wanted to prove myself; to show my professor that I could, in fact, write. The rest of the story is rather anti-climatic. There was no inspired epiphany, when all the lights suddenly go on.
