Wait-listed. I am so bummed. I wasn't planning on going, but I feel like this leaves me with no hope for UVA, U Penn or Hopkins. :(
Accepted! Takes the edge of being wait-listed off a little, I guess.

..and one more

Grove City, too, man.

Carolyn and I are flyin up there next Thursday to stay for the weekend. Should be kind of awesome. I LOVE AEROPLANES! I also love Pennsylvania, feeling independent, and Carolyn. Word.

I totally got in! I'm so psyched. It's definitely in my top 3.


I also got offered a full ride to ODU. Which is pretty nice. But I don't think I'll take it.

ACCEPTANCE LETTERS

My first acceptance letters have come in! I'm so excited! :) right now I'm 2 for 2...

It's been too long...

... and I need to update.

So so much has been going on recently. School continues to drain the life out of me. College apps are in and we're waiting on letters. :P Christmas was okay. Work is okay. I just feel like I'm stuck in a rut of okay-ness. No fun...

However, just as I had begun to lose hope about some things... God is beginning to move in a BIG way that is such a privilege to see! I'm so excited to see where He takes us. I've been thinking a lot about a lot of things. And... it just hit me I'm out of here (Lord willing) in a few short months! I feel like I have a lot of growing up to do... but I'll get there eventually.

Does anyone else ever stick pens in their hair and then totally forget about it and frantically search for a writing utensil? I think I've done that like 4 times in the past couple days. I am so absent-minded sometimes.

I got a new camera and it's kind of awesome. I love taking pictures with it. :D

SAT's again...?!

Yup, only this time it's the subject tests. On Saturday I shall be taking the Ecological Biology, Spanish with Listening and Math Level I tests. But after I finish these, I'll be done with them darn SATs forever!!!!!!!! I cannot wait. I added a few schools to my list of schools to apply to. I am now applying to Penn State, U of Penn, Grove City and Sweet Briar Women's College. Yup. I cannot wait for college. Also, I have a job interview on Monday at Hancock Fabric Store. Pray that it goes well and I get a job!!

SAT

Yaknow how I said I was taking the SAT again to improve my math score?... well guess what! I did! By 80 points. That does not happen very often and I am truly psyched. woo!

SAT

Well... I took the SAT yesterday. I sure hope I did well. I've taken it before, I just needed to boost my math scores this time... I feel pretty good about it but we'll see how it goes when I get my scores back.

Ketchup tastes nothing like tomatoes...

Okay so I don't know that anyone reads this blog... but I am going to keep on posting because the cathartic outlet is nice to have. So yeah... I can't wait to go to college. It's going to be so nice. I can never make up my mind for sure what I want to do with my life after college though. I know I have plenty of time but still... I would feel more secure if I knew what I was aiming for. However, it seems that when I plan out my future God always kinda takes it down a path that I never planned for. But that's okay. I'd much rather Him control my future than me. :P At the same time, I know that a year from now I'll be semi-"on my own" with no real, solid direction mapped out... and it's a bit of a scary thought. I mean, yeah it's exciting to think that I'll be able to make my own decisions and stuff but there's security in having your parents do everything for you. Anyway... that's just what's been on my mind and I leave you with a very puzzling question...

How can some people not like the greatest fruit on Earth(aka tomatoes)?!

stress is not my favorite

There is nothing more exhilarating than spending your entire Saturday morning on college apps... that was sarcasm by the way.

Well just an update on them applications are coming,
I have all my basic fill-in info ready for the following:
UVA
William and Mary
Johns Hopkins
ODU
V Tech
Now I'm going to fill in some stuff for JMU and take a break for a few hours. Then, I shall proceed to write an activities resume to give to my guidance counselor so's she can write me recommendations. Then, I shall fill out some teacher recommendation forms so's I can get them to write about what a lovely person I am for colleges to read. Sometime next week I'll finish off my essays. And then we'll see... I'm retaking SATs in October and taking subject tests in November. Oh that reminds me that I need to get some study materials for those. :P I am taking Spanish with listening, Biology, and Math level I for subject tests. So yeah... I also have homework aplenty for the weekend. So, basically, I am kinda freakin out right now... just a little... I think I'm gonna need a trip to Starbucks today... maybe I'll take a walk down there in a little bit. Oh snap, I just remembered I have to clean my room and the bathroom today. I think I might cry.
