So it's April.
And it snowed today.
Other than that...
the musical is over =(
madrigals stresses me out
i hate scholarships
i've heard back from all my colleges
AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO!
i love campusdirt.com...
as part of my procrastination of everything i've compiled a list of my favorite quotes about all of the colleges i could possibly be attending.
( george washington u )
( marist )
( fordham )
( holy cross )
pssh... silly college kids

this week was break.
so i've had a lot of down time. thinking time.
college... i've been narrowing it down some more.
out of the 9 (yikes) schools i initially applied to... i think i'm now between 2.. or 3
it's probably going to be fordham or marist... or holy cross. but i still have to hear back from holy cross... i don't know.
so between marist and fordham... i'm not sure yet. and i know i still have time... 2 months... i'm an indecisive person. i figured i should start deciding early.
i went to a class visit day at fordham yesterday. i was hoping it would push me one way or another but i still feel blah about everything. haha the class i went to was about beowulf... which i've never read. but the professor probably spent a full 30 minutes explaining how parchment was made from sheep fetus.
hah... anyways..
it's going to be tough. there are pros and cons for each of the schools. i've wanted to go to fordham for a long time now... but i'm not sure if i really like it... or if i'm making myself like it.
and marist is only recently somewhere i've thought seriously about.
gaaah!
so basically... on april 30... i'm putting fordham and marist into a hat... and whichever one i pull out... that is where i will go to college.

it's january but yesterday felt like april. the weather was so nice. jane, mega, and i went to the duck pond and walked and "jyogged". it was lovely.
but it sucks now. because it's going to get colder again. and snow. and slush. and freeze.
though today looks alright.
i think i'm just going to relax today.
bake some cookies? rent a movie?
umm.. i got into marist! and that made me happy.
but i've been thinking about college too much recently..
i need someone to decide for me.

guess what! i'm going to college!
today i got acceptance letters from uvm and fordham!
i'm happy and relieved.
i have a few more early action schools to hear from and then i have to wait until march/april for the rest.
but all my apps are done! haha it's a very good feeling. no more stress.
over all i think the whole process was just as hard and nerve-wracking as i thought it was going to be. the applications themselves were ok.. but the uncertainty and confusion gave me migraines.. as did the many fights i had with my parents.. but i can laugh about it now..
kind of.
hahaa.
ehh.
i guess it's just time to wait now.. i still really have no idea where i want to go.
as more decisions come in i hope it will be easier to narrow down.
blaaaah.

to recap:
-harry potter; awesome
-RENT; freaking amazing
-thanksgiving; YUM
i'm having a nice weekend so far.
i saw RENT the other day with britta and that was COOL! i also got to catch up with wolfie. then thanksgiving was great as usual with my beloved mashed potatoes. yesterday i hung out with lins for a bit and we sat in her car for like an hour... haha it was a good time. it'll have to happen more often. then i had a feast of a dinner last night. and after that britta and i rented the notebook (not what we originally wanted but good all the same)... and we each bought a pint of ben&jerry's dublin mudslide... oh yeah. 'twas an above-par evening.
today i'm going into the city with my family.
wish me luck.

harry potter especially. even though i'm not as outwardly obsessive as i used to be... i am sooo excited for this movie. oh man... i'm giddy.
tomorrow i'm going on a field trip to see this shakespeare performance thing. i hope it'll be good. i enjoy mr. shakes. i really hope i don't fall asleep.
now i'm going to go read. pride & prejudice, anyone?

halloween was incredible.
i suppose it's been a good weekend.
yesterday i went to garret mt. to watch the state sectional meet. i've been done for a few weeks now and it's strange not to be running. as much as i've complained... i will miss it.
after the meet we had some traditional aldo's and britta and i went to the mall a little after that. i've realized that without money a simple trip to the mall kind of sucks. it was still a good time... but i really need a job. we went bowling with a bunch of people and that was fun too... even though i'm horrible.
the weeks have been going by so quickly. i can't believe it's november already.
it's weird. i was talking about this with britta last night. it's weird how now i'm finally comfortable with myself, at ease with my friends, for the most part i'm happy with my life... and it's almost over. i'm 1/4 done with my senior year. i know there's still lots of time... but it's going by fast.

this past week was very easy...
i only went to one full day of school.
but in spite of that, i'm exhausted.
i swear i'm narcoleptic... or i have mono... or something.
ah and i was stressed all week for no reason. =/
but last night was fun.
i saw corpse bride w/ jess.
and then we went to the mp/waldwick game for a little... left before it was over
and ate some food at matthew's with casey and kristyn.
today is the yac reunion at greg's? should be fun times.

i'm pretty content with things right now.
school is all right. the only class i really get work in is calculus.
the college app. craziness has slowed a bit. all of my early action stuff is done. and the i don't have to worry about the other stuff until november or so.
where i'm applying:
fordham
marist
providence
uvm
holy cross
american
george washington
georgetown
i'm not at all excited about my georgetown application... especially since i don't want to go there and i didn't even know i was applying until my mother was like "oh by the way... i sent in the application fee so get started on all those extra essays and that interview". thanks mom and dad.
but other than that i'm mostly done. i did my common app. essay last weekend and i'm very happy with it.
yesterday morning i got to take the sats again. for the essay i wrote about my cousin andy's struggle with his learning disability and how he is now attending harvard. fyi... i don't have a cousin andy. suck on that collegeboard.
i went to starbucks every day this weekend. friday with mega and amy. saturday with mega in the crazy rain. and this afternoon with andres de lobo because he is home this weekend and i missed him.
this is august all over again.
i'm looking out the window. everything is damp from the rain, the trees are still, it's chilly, the sky is gray. i love it.
ps... i have senioritis and it is only october.
pps... i'm rediscovering my love for the garden state soundtrack.
