Snap, judgment, studios.

Okay, so, sophomore year, Grand Valley State University, and on the Laundry Room Blutton

Board, I see a poster about jobs available in food services, and I write down the number

to call. But when I finish my Laundry, I can't read my own writing, so I go back to

the Blutton Board, and the poster's gone. And that is to make any sense, I'm sure that

someone just stapled another poster on top of the poster I'm looking for, so I start excavating

the Blutton Board, pulling stuff off to see what's underneath. Missing dogs, chess club

party, tutoring needed, and I see half a sign, and it says, apply now, fellowships to Asia.

And I don't know why, but I look at that sign, and I do need to get out of Dodge. The likelihood

is less than zero, but so what? I pull a tab from the sign, and I do apply. Whether

I'm told to meet at the Dean's office, and a man comes out and congratulates me on being

chosen for the Asia Fellowship, a year-long trip. Whoa! You will represent our school

at a brand new program in Japan, this is an extremely selective admissions process,

you should be very proud. Whoa! Extremely selective, I was chosen picked. Well, how many

people apply? Well, that's not really important right now. What's important? No, no, no,

really, how many people did apply? Well, in truth, you were the only applicant, but that

doesn't change the fact we are proud to have you represent our university overseas.

No one else applied. No one. Probably because they posted a notice, buried three posters

deep on a random laundry room bulletin board, and truly, truly, that trip changed my life.

Fate? Destiny? Maybe. But today on Snap Judgment,

Kismet, amazing stories from real people, being directed by the fakes. My name is

Washington, always remember, qualifications are for suckers. When you're listening, to Snap Judgment.
