College interview and tour for Johnson State College on Monday morning. I got most of my outfit today. It's either a tan cordoroy skirt or a jean skirt paired with a bright long sleeved shirt and my (replaced) boots (now the lovely dark brown I had wanted) with dark blue tights (which have yet to be located). I wanted something comfortable because my tour is right after my interview and I wanted to look nice for that. And it's freezing up there (it's already snowed a bunch and people are actually skiing!!).

I'm sort of worried about my essay. I bull-shitted it today at work about how the book Legally Blonde has impacted me. I'm writing another one on "Describe one thing you haven't yet accomplished in your life that you really want to do. Explain how being at Johnson State College will help you accomplish it." I mean, if that one makes more sense, whateve.

This is hilarious, btw. If you know the song and have some knowledge of musical theatre, you will totally get this.

I've been insanely busy. College application deadlines are approaching like a speeding train. I need to write an essay for Johnson State for my early action meeting on Monday. I get to go up to VT and give them my application/transcript/whateve and they'll tell me right there if I'm in or not. Talk about being nervous.

I've submitted my application to University of Rhode Island. As soon as my bitchy guidence counselor gets the supplements done, University of Massachusetts Amherst and Ithaca College are also off.

I got really amazing SAT scores compared to my last ones. 620 on both Critical Reading and a 570 on my Math. It's really good. The scores are out of 800.

I auditioned for and got into Central Districts! It's a pretty big deal and I'm super excited to be there with other amazing high schoolers. It's going to look wonderful on resumes and everything and be such a great experience.

What else...

I got my first B in AP English on a quiz. Pretty exciting stuff.

I'm in the school Drama Club's annual murder mystery. It's a play on American Idol called I Buried an Idol. And I'm lucky enough to get the part of Smalla I'mcool (Paula Abdul) which is pretty cool stuff.

Oh yes. I saw Twilight on opening night. Amazing. I wore my Alice fan club shirt. I saw it again this past Friday while shopping (YAY BLACK FRIDAY!!) and it was cooler still. I mean, it's not near perfect. It's rushed and doesn't go into details that I loved. Plus, Edward drives the wrong model of a Volvo...

Saw the local production of Anything Goes! It was amazing. Such talent.

My chorus teacher is still a dick.

There might not be a school musical for the first time since we've started doing them. It sucks like crap, especially for the seniors that have been a part of the productions whether on stage or backstage. There was some talk of bring those people on a trip to New York to see a musical.

I have found my clear list of colleges, though it is a tie for the top position.

1. Ithaca College, Ithaca NY // University of Rhode Island, Kingston RI
3. University of Massachusetts Amherst, Amhesrt MA
4. Johnson State College, Johnson VT

I'm so anxious about my SAT scores that I can see on Nov. 20, but I want them NOW!!


I'm also soooo tired. I nearly fell asleep in school!

This always happens. My period and a cold constantly line up, be it spring, fall, or winter. So, I'm miserable. I don't want to eat anything (since colds block your nose and 75% of what you think is taste is actually smell so everything tastes funny since I can't smell it) but I crave chocolate. Luckily, Mom made some excellent brownies that I can still taste, so that is good.

Twilight on the 21st!!!!! I'm bringing C on Friday night after school. I can't wait!!!!!!

Sooo... Ithaca College. It was beautiful, up on a hill overlooking a Finger Lake (cannot remember which one). The campus is not necessarily smaller than URI, but more compact. It's lovely and I could see myself there.

Which is such a mixed blessing. It means that I know that I could be happy there. But it also leaves me with one hell of a decision. And I haven't even seen UMass Amherst or taken a tour of Johnson State while students were on campus.

Off to Ithaca College in New York today with Mom. Apparently, it snows there. A lot. And it's cold. Which pushes it further down on my list. I decided against wearing my URI sweatshirt, but I'm wearing my t-shirt as a pj top and the lanyard is still holding my keys.

I'm almost done reading all of the Blood Books, which is sad. I like the books better, since they have a decent ending planned, I think, rather than the crappy oh-shit-we-did-not-get-to-do-season-three-of-blood-ties-so-here's-a-crap-ending thing that went on with Blood Ties. They're the type of book that makes you want to go out and become a police officer with RP and then leave the job to become a private investigator only to discover that the person working with you is the bastard son of Henry VIII and a vampire. I even admit to looking up "How to become a private investigator" on google.

Heart of Darkness thesis is non-existant. Don't you teachers get that we have senioritis already and cannot function until we get to walk up on the stage and take the diploma and turn our tassels and finally get off to college and life?

Just like to get it out there. Even if you are not voting for HOPE, as I would be if I were 18, at least get out there and vote!!


At school, we ran a mock election. Results showed that Obama won with 400+ votes over McCain's 130 or so. We denied Question 1 and passed Questions 2 and 3. Basically, I hope Quabbin sets the example for the real election.

I will be waiting up tonight for the results!!!


S called me and wants me to come into work on my day off. I had planned to go out shopping at Barnes & Noble and Target today during my brother's driving lesson, but apparently, even worker excluding Sa and myself got sick over the weekend and none want to work. Thanks a whole lot for getting a job, Logan. Nice work.

I actually love the animation of Tarzan's mother. She's really pretty, I think, and deserves an icon.

Stuff sucks still, but it has gotten better.

Life hates me right now.

I have school, which includes AP English.

I have college applications/essays.

I have work.

I have rehearsals.

I have viola lessons/Central District auditions.

I have life that I try to squeeze in.


It's not even like the past where, instead of doing homework, I spend the time online or doing nothing. It's like every second of the day is spent on one of the above parts of my life. It sucks right now.

Rehearsals for Trojan Women and work fall on the same day of the week and none of my co-workers are flexiable enough (or care enough) to switch days with me. I'm willing to work Thursdays after school instead of at night and I can work Fridays. But none of them have stepped forward. So I have to cancel rehearsals where I am obviously depended upon to be there and that sucks even more. The selfishness of some people is so pissing off-ish that I can't even stand it.

College essays need to be done... tomorrow. I need to proof-read them and make sure I really want to use them.

AP English just keeps piling work on me. Essays, vocab tests, books, thesis papers.

Viola auditions are coming up quickly. I need to memorize scales and work really hard on my piece.

So life right now is nonexistant.

Last night was tons of fun. I dressed up as a scarecrow and got to scare kids and parents alike by pretending I was fake then moving or yelling "Boo!" at passerbys. It was hilarious to see parents jump. One little kid kept yelling "Boo!" at us instead of the other way around. It started to rain so we were herded into the tavern and upstairs to a little room with soup and soda, where we proceeded to chill out for about two hours. I bought chocolate covered sunflower seeds and candy corn fudge while I was there, which was yummy.

Today is cousin's party. Plus I need to get the book Heart of Darkness for tomorrow. Why does Mr. M. have to make it so hard and pick a specific edition for us to get!?!
