I have two big fears going into the hike:
- Not being able to finish the Appalachian Trail
- Getting Rejected from the ASU Intermedia MFA / Sustainability MS Program
The first one is particularly disturbing, as I feel like I would somehow be failing myself, which is part of the reason as to why I am doing this at all. I don’t have much control over the second one anymore, I just don’t know what I’d do with myself if I don’t get into grad school. Eek. Interestingly, I’m not terribly concerned about starting too early, getting eaten by bears, or running out of water. Maybe I should be.
