I finished two apps for Nov. 15 -- one college waived the app fee by then, the other needed it for scholarships. I have three more due Dec. 1 -- two waive the fee also, and the other needs it by then for scholarship consideration. I have a medium essay and a small paper due Dec. 1 also (could win up to $7500 for one and a laptop for the other) . Fun fun...

Man, you're on top of things. So is everyone at my school. I can't believe it.
They do have early action, but that's so competitive. My records and whatnot are just borderline, so I'll almost definately not be admitted through early action. If anything, they'll just refile my application into the "regular decision" pile and give me my acceptance letter in like, too many months from now. Whereas if I applied through early decision on time, they would have smiled heartily on my enthusiam and looked optimistically at my grades instead of skeptically; I could have been admitted just a couple weeks from now! Agh, that's what makes it most dissappointing. Now I'll just have to wait for a very long time and stress out through the whole thing. I have to read "Oh, the Places You'll Go" now. I just reminded myself of that one part where everyone's waiting...

VENT: I LOST the EDDIE message board. How STUPID could someone like me be? It's gone, and all because I didn't check the server number. So, I have to type in "Imperialrp.proboards(#).com" like 80 times for all the servers it has, then if that doesn't work, I have to add a "p" after imperial. Gosh, I can't even remember what I named it! And I can't find it on google. It pisses me off!

Sick as a dog after three days of feeling well again.
I hope this clears up soon, because I can't sing, I can barely speak, I can't focus on anything, and I have -no- creativity left in my head what-so-ever. Ung. Now I need to go drag my hacking and coughing carcass into school for my math test. Oh joyous butter-gum-drops and rainbows. I can hardly wait. |

Tessar, get better soon! I just can't imagine what causes this series of sickness. Maybe the rest you had wasn't enough for a full recovery, and you're falling back again and again.

VENT: I took a math test today too. Easy, because he allowed us to use our laptops. (He gave us some graphing software.) So I entered all the equasions that the test asked for into the computer, it graphed them, and then the thing promptly explodes! Well screw me! I tried to sketch the graphs from memory, but I have no hope that I passed, and now I have to figure out what on Earth happened to my laptop. Could be worse though, if I cared about math very much. I'm still mad.

Vent: mostly i (think i) am rather long-tempered, but my patience has its limits too.. i can't stand people who pity themselves so much that they can't focus on anything else than themselves, and thereby also hurt the people around them.. it's a bad circle: ultimately, it might lead to close people not wanting to be so close anymore.. which leads to more self-pity. argh. >.<
and i'm sheding skin, but that's something i do every year.

Well, at least he's reasonable, and before letting him outside I make deals with him. It works.

I am so annoyed that I forgot to apply for scholarships at the university I want to go to. It's no wonder though, applications closed right before my first exam so I wasn't exactly thinking about things other than that at that point. DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT.
