Here I am! Yes, I have not died, though I did seem to hide. Anyway, in case you've been wondering what's up with me I'm here to fill you in.
The "surprise" trip to Texas was super fun! I still have to upload all the pictures but I'll be happy to send them to whoever asks. <3 I wish I had longer than a few days. :( (Although, I must say I felt like I did so much stuff in those two days there that it felt like I spent a week there XD) The hangover feeling that Monday was not fun however. :/ That plus the insane amount of tests that week (the last week before finals) felt like I was being punished for having a great trip. Still way worth it. :D
Speaking of school: it is almost done for the year! (this year, 2011 at least ;) ) These last two days have been finals days. Which, by the way, having to take all 7 of my finals (even AB Calculus which I do not get a grade for) has been awfully brutal. I do not study THAT much, but just having to take two 90 minute tests back to back makes me want to slam my head against a desk. At least now I have four done and each day is a half day. :) On Friday I made two 100's (for AB and Biology), and so far I have the score to beat for Biology ;) (92 out of 100 let's see who beats me). Also: I've been taking pictures :D I know some of you people in Texas asked for some, plus Ting is leaving. :( It's so sad!!! She even leaves on Xmas D: Tell me that does not stink! (Not that she celebrates it, but still!) So I took some pictures of us and Matilde. :) Then I took some pictures with Apollo! Then some with Apollo and Uniqia ^^ Super cuteness.
Now for college stuffs: I think I may be done applying!!! YAY!!! Last weekend I was an essay maniac and wrote about 7 of them. So I applied for my last two schools: Johns Hopkins and Columbia University. Also applied for some Hispanic Scholarship Fund scholarships. This weekend I wrote some essays, but definitely without the drive I had last weekend. :/ That's for the Gate's scholarship. *sigh* My relaxation from finishing applications was so short lived! Cannot wait until college is all prepared for and done with. :)
Also speaking of college stuffs: I GOT INTO THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN <3 I knew I would, but I was getting worried when I didn't get my acceptance email on the first day (the infamous December 15) but I'm in! <3 So hope I can afford it. Sadly, U of A is looking quite affordable. :/ I won't know about fellowships for a while, but I got an $8000 scholarship there, which would cover at least all of tuition. So far it's six for six people. After Case Western, I'll only be waiting on the biggies for replies. Can't say I'm totally looking forward to those probably rejection letters but oh well.
As Winter Break gets closer, I cannot wait to go to Chicago! We didn't go last year, so I am really looking forward to it. :) My dad and I made this whole list of things I really have to experience (since I was so young when I lived there). Plays, fancy restaurants, the South side and North side? I'm game. :)
In case things get hectic: MERRY XMAS TO ALL <3
And to all a great year :D
