i'm glad you wrote this because it reminded me that pretty much everyone in high school - well, at least in our little pocket of high school - feels this way at one time or another. your snow queen is maud's musical and my 79 in precal. "failure" is something different to everyone but it always manages to hurt the same way. pretty much everyone knows what it's like to feel crushed or generally just not good enough. i don't know about you, but i find this strangely comforting. because if someone as bright, driven, and talented as you are can feel like a failure then it must just be something that we all have to go through. we're all trying to conquer our fionas - even fiona has her own personal fiona. i guess what i'm trying to say is that we all feel the same way to some degree - but we're all going to be okay in the end. and i know that you have not worked your ass off for twelve years for nothing. you will accomplish whatever you set your mind to.
