YOU GUYS!

I've been gone for...3 months? Yeah.
You know that job at vVncenzos I applied for?
I hatee that place. Well, I don't hate it, I just hate their methods of hiring.
Let me explain.
They basically go by "Oh, you're dropping of an application, we need someone, you have the job."
I thought they were supposed to go like "Oh, you're dropping of an application, we'll get back to you." You know? But apparently, if you go by when they need someone you have a better chance of getting a job...I've had an application on file for 3 months...but people just walk in and get a job. Bleh. Oh well. C'est la vie.
Speaking of french, I finally have an A in that class...geezzz I had a 90 for so long. AND I GOT AN 88 ON MY LAST MATH TEST. BOO YA, NICHOLSON.
(I suck at Precalculus...but now I have a solid C and I have NEVER been so happy to have a C in my life...ever...(I've also never had a C in my life...ever...:3)0
SO basically.
I've gotten into:
Amherst College, Bowdoin College, Kenyon College, UNC...
Thursday I hear from Brown. Top choice. 30,000 people applied. GAH.
William and Mary...I could care less :3
OK. So the rundown is...I have no idea where I'm going to college. *Anxious look*
See, before, when I was utterly convinced I was going to get rejected from Amherst and Bowdoin, I was like, "Okay. UNC. Good, smart, viable option." Then I get into Amherst. They have an open curriculum, no loans financial aid, 1600 students, 1:8 teacher student ratio, single dorm rooms, a QUIDDITCH team, for God's sake! 30% minority students...the only downside? A seemingly visible split between athletes and non-athletes...but hey. The pros outweight the cons.
Bowdoin...I love you Bowdoin, but why do you have to be all the way in MAINE? Thanks for the 28,000 grant though, I really do appreciate it. I may visit you if we can...but honestly, driving to Maine...eek...number one dining hall in the nation, and excellent school! But not at the top of my list...
Kenyon...Kenyon, Kenyon, Kenyon. Well, I love Kenyon. I really do. But I have to admit, the whole 500 person town in the middle of Ohio thing is a bit...frightening. I'm also worried about job opportunities after college...rawr. But community atmosphere, organic food, gorgeous campus. And 33 K grant.
And UNC. I loved it at first because I was honestly worried I wouldn't get in. It's a great financial backup. It's gorgeous. Great academics. Awesome school spirit (duh). But it's HUGE. Classes with teaching assistants...28,000 other students...the size of a small town...
Ugh.
I am currently leaning towards Amherst (THEY HAVEN'T TOLD ME HOW MUCH MONEY THEY'RE GIVING ME YET) sorry for the caps, this is how I express my frustration. Buttt. If, by some ungodly miracle, I got into Brown, then I would probably do a happy dance, run around in the street, and send in my enrollment deposit a.s.a.p, no lie. But honestly, the way things are looking, I'm not gonna have a fighting chance.
We'll see after Thursday.
And sorry for the long post, but I feel the need to rant about Track as well.
Today, we were supposed to have prax at Salem Lake. They announced it. They had it on the website. E and I get to salem lake....trail is closed. We call coach. "oh, we're at reynolda." -rage- -turn around- -tell V and M^2 about it when we see them pull up- -have M^2 follow us to reynolda- -run a fast paced 30 minutes- -crom apologizes to M^2 because they've done that about 4 times...but never once apologizes to me, thanks crom-
Whateverrrrrrrrrr I'll be done with that shiz come the end of April.
FOURTH QUARTER YES. (I have 5 As 1 B( in bio I think) and 1 C)...I have kicked senioritis' butt...
(please allow me to be pompous. It is my blog, after all.)
