Here's a senryu (aka a poem in haiku format, but that isn't a haiku because it isn't about nature).
Didn't make the cut.
Not valedictorian--
fcuk it. I still rock.
re-update: i forgot to save as i was updating and my philosophizing got erased. basically, i'm fine with being one of the final candidates because that's pretty damn good in itself to be one of twenty then eleven then six. i know why i didn't get it and i'm relieved that i'm not waiting anymore. it was also about how i've also been re-living that darn interview over and over with better, more articulate answers since i left the interview, and i left the interview feeling like i hadn't gotten it anyway. i couldn't sleep last night because i kept answering questions over and over--not out loud, of course. and it was also about how i'm not upset anymore so i had to change the f-word to the other f-word that makes it acceptable to almost say it, without really saying it because switching two letters makes a helluva difference. yay to me for being humbled with the recurring realization that though i may be good at a lot of things, there is no one thing i'm the best at. which sucks when i think about it, but feels pretty darn good in the doing.

1 of 6 IS FANTASTIC! Girl, I'm not even CLOSE to being near the top of my class.
I'm crazy proud of you.
Love,

Wow, I wasn't even 1 of 6 in high school... ahh, what I would give to be a smartie like you =)
"though i may be good at a lot of things, there is no one thing i'm the best at."
how about 7 of 9? OK, too much ST.
Hey, at least you don't have to prepare some snazzy speech, but its quite an achievement regardless if you "made it" or not.
actually, writing a speech was part of the process and it was pretty damn snazzy. it was my darn lack of interview skillz that screwed me.
