My life in one word: WRITING

So NaNoWriMo has officially begun.......and it's hijacked my life. XD Quite literally, it has taken over my word. X)

Not that I totally mind. It's totally fulfilling to see the number on my dry erase circle (see pictures of my room if you don't know what I'm talking about) go up and up and up! Gah, I am so happy <3. As of this very second I am writing this blog post: I have written 23,500 words! I've been writing all day (over 5000 words y'all!) and my goal is to hit 25000 words tonight (HALF WAY DONE :D :D :D).

Only, things are gonna hit the fan really soon. As if I was not already playing a juggling act with my 6 AP classes and writing, my family is coming in starting MONDAY! Literally, two aunts are coming in on Monday, staying until the 23rd. Then on the 22nd my aunt, uncle, and baby cousin are coming in (don't know when they'll leave). Then on the 23rd my other aunt, uncle, and little cousin (my younger brother :D Love him, he totally forced his parents to come down cuz he misses me <3) are coming until the 28th. Which means, no days left alone to write. :( I guess I am going to have to get used to running on 5 hours of sleep ^^'''. Oh well, as Tim Gunn says, "Make it work!"

Speaking of work, I broke my rule about not working on college stuffs during NaNoWriMo. :( I simply could not stop myself! But, apparently, I have gotten college stuff down so well that I basically did a whole application start to finish (include a short answer and 300 word essay) in an HOUR. Yea, take that colleges! The only real stress was that one of my teachers could not read the email for the U of A fellowship! YIKES!!! Literally, was freaking out because it is due Tuesday, and it had to be IN THEIR HANDS by that day. Luckily, she was able to get it fixed and done, so no more worrying about rec letters. ^^

And speaking of colleges, the update on that is that I've been accepted by two. :D Of course, one is the U of Arkansas, but today I just my acceptance letter from U of Pittsburgh today! I'm so glad I at least have choices T-T. I'm still waiting for U of Michigan, U of New England, Fordham U, and Case Western to send me the verdict. I still have to apply to the biggies too: Harvard, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, and some school in Chicago (thinking maybe Layola or something, we'll see what happens there).

But it's not all work and no play kiddies! I watched this really funny movie today called "My Idiot Brother" if you're over 17 and haven't seen it, it's pretty hi-larious. Plus: happy ending <3. Just my kind of movie.

As for school itself, it has decided to try to kill me this weekend. I've got: Bio chapter to read, Bio Quests to do, Chemistry work book, AP Gov essays to prepare, 40 pages of Heart of Darkness with questions for English, AB Calc homework, as well as BC. Fuuuunnnnn. Sometimes, I think I only go to school to see Apolo (my bio teacher's bearded dragon, he's so fawesome!). :P

Anyway, on top of that I also have to clean my room (which has been suffering from neglect thanks to NaNoWriMo) and my bathroom. So I better get cracking!

Off, off, and AWAY!
