I'm Cool.

A: you're welcome! Blogging is good for the soul...(like chicken soup sans the chicken soup part)

M^2 = the tennis twins...both of their names start with M. (I don't want to give out people's namesss) And you can never be replaced! everr!

Today: Impromptu trip to The North, cancelled due to not enough time/don't know all my choices yet

Rescheduled for next weekend, possibly flying up to Boston

Trip to Europe: probably not happening (on my own volition, though) I decided I should get a job and save up for college and then study abroad junior year...I'll have plenty of opportunities later on to go to Europe since I have so much of my family over there! At least half if not more...anyways, I'm a bit sad, but in the long run it's a better choice, non? 2,500 extra bucks will go a long way when I become a starving college student :3

Job searching: called about 20 places, two are hiring, harris teeter and ace hardware. ohyeah.

Life:

It is GORGEOUS outside!

Today: at 6p.m i'll know about Brown

okay that's all

HAPPY JOUR DE POISSON

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.)

my. god.

Soooooo...

most people know I am the opposite of a procrastinator. I do things days early...or I did, until this year. I'm thinking that the huge amount of procrastination I've done this year (especially 2nd quarter) is making up for all the non-procrastination I did earlier....

hahaha. senioritis has it's own wiki page!

So I applied to yet another place! Vincenzos. Maybe I'll actually GET that job? Rawwrgh

Well
I like writing on here better, besides the fact that pretty much no one reads it, because...it's better.

I just finished The Bell Jar (which was good) and I also read Pride and Prejudice...I'm liking Wuthering Heights much better already (both were for school)

It's almost 11 A.M and I gotta learn about the ottoman court and the safavids.

I love those guys...

details, details, details

kayyyy two posts in a day, yes, i know, awful.

but anyways.

i've had a great year so far,

but i'm sad that i only have 108 school days left...

108..

wwwhoa, lost number

ANYWAYS, i feel like this has gone by so fast.

i'm sick of schoolwork and such, already. Senioritis has definitely hit hard on me and my friends.

I've gotten close to so many people this year, though, which is strange, because seeing as I moved a lot when i was younger, i never really made "close" friends with anyone out of fear of moving, and this has followed me...but that changed. E explained that that may be the reason for why i don't have a single -best- friend...but i have many who are my -best- friends. which makes me happy.

i've enjoyed pbs with z, f, e, h, j, d, and r...(i've decided to conceal people by using their first names......like lemony snicket)

this will make sense to no one but me or them ..but i feel like saying it because h ardly anyone reads this anyways.

i find out about unc-ch on january 31, and i find out about brown in april, and kenyon, but it seems like if i get into UNC, im going there, seeing as its so cheap. and wh atnot. which makes me a bit sad, but not so much...........

lets hope for the best, eh? scholarship, anyone?

speaking of scholarships, im a semifinalist for the national achievement one, which is not the saem as the national merit scholarship, but everyone seems to think it is. it's not based on the psat score as much as it's based on picking random people...but i'm still kinda glad a bout that because it may help me get into brown..maybe..

im so nervous fore verything

my wrist is killing me

i haven't been home for a day...im tired.

OH GEEZ

sorry, guys, if anyone reads this,

i've been on tumblr since school started.

BUT HOLY CRAP,

things are changing!

lots of them!

Fleet Foxes-White Winter Hymnal

The Klaxons-Golden Skans

Mika-We Are Golden

Regina Spektor-Eet

Kings of Leon-Use Somebody (andre anjos remix)

MGMT-Time to Pretend

I don't remember the authors of all of these. I read most of these this summer, as part of my nonsense book requirement :]

i love reading for fun...

Elsewhere-Gabreille Zevin? I think..

The Boyfriend List- E. Lockhart

Suite Scarlett-Maureen Johnson (anything by her is fantastic)

I read My Sister's Keeper because I kept seeing it everywhere and saw that a movie was coming out. The book was incredibly sad.. if you ever read that book prepare to be really depressed. it's good though.

Fly on the Wall...that was interesting.

OH! I read a great vampire book called Evernight. IT was weird at first, but it got much better. Great alternative to twilight..

I've also watched great movies..

Paris J'etaime is AMAZING. GO WATCH IT, NOW.

Jeux D'enfants, or Love Me if you Dare was weird, but really good.

The diving bell and the butterfly...sad.

i saw watchmen and don't get what all the fuss is about

uhm what else...

amelie,

uhm...

but anyways

that's what i've been doing all summer. what have you been doing all summer?
