ˇviva colombia!

i forgot to relate the story of my fateful meeting with mr. todd rothman, assistant director of admissions at columbia law school. it all started on a sunny day in durham...

i was flying back into new york city the next day, so i figured that i would call nyu and columbia to see if it would be helpful for me to come by and chat. nyu said, no, please don't come by, but if you do, feel free to help yourself to a self-guided tour. columbia said, sure, drop by, and we can arrange someone to chat with you (to be fair, a waitlist decision had been rendered on my columbia application while i was still pending at nyu; i would later get rejected).

i showed up on campus an hour early, luggage in tow, as always. i called euphrates to go over some aspects of columbia that i could talk about. then, i got lost, asked euphrates where the admissions office was, couldn't find it, called him again to see if he was sure, and then i found it.

i walked into the office, and the receptionist was kind enough to listen to my story and asked me to sit out in the hallway. (during our conversation, he asked me to hold on while he took a phone call, which was from a perspective student. i heard him irritatingly say, "sorry, i can't give you your status over the phone", like he had said that very same thing over two-hundred times that day. i realized then that i was that kid, except in real life.)

after a short wait, a chipper fellow named todd greeted me. i shook his hand and introduced myself. he showed me to his office, opened the door, and then pointed for me to sit in a chair which sat a few feet back from his desk. he then sat several feet back from his own desk, creating an effect comparable to eating dinner during the middle ages.

i stared at him expecting him to say something. he stared at me, expecting me to say something. he crossed his legs. i coughed.

fifteen, long seconds of staring directly at each other passed before i chimed in with, "so... i'm really interested in columbia."

we chatted for a bit about columbia. i expressed my continued interest. he asked if i had any questions. i said, no, not really; then i asked, self-importantly, do you have any questions for me? he surpressed a snicker and then politely said that he had no idea who i was.
