Apparently, I am in College Mode. Yes, the one and only college mode. And, sadly, the button is stuck on "on". In fact, it is SO stuck, that I'm not getting my regular school/house/life work done. :/ Take for example, oh, 3 minutes ago where I stopped doing my pre-lab questions for chemistry and began talking about colleges with the mumsy for half an hour. :/ Seriously? I had already decided I would NOT do any more college stuff until Friday (this was decided on Sunday) and since that decision I have probably spent........4 hours total on College stuffs. :( I already don't have a life, do I need to spend what little free time I have working on college applications?!
While on that subject, I did get another application in. :) Yup! University of Michigan is DONE! That's four down now! (Interestingly enough, Michigan is the first complete application for one of my "dream schools" ...and it was the lowest on that list :/.) Speaking of dream schools, by the way, is what my family and I were talking about. We did the math the other day, and (unless calculations change, as they always are) I will have spent ABOUT $500 on applications and sending scores and the like. O.O $500!!!! I feel so terrible. :( Especially since some schools we sent scores from are now off the list (at both mine and my parents requests). Such a waste of money. T-T Now I am extremely torn for all my decisions.
For example, my mom and I started talking because I wanted to retake my SAT Subject Tests (I got a 760 in math II, 700 in Bio E, and 650 in Spanish (yea that last one is HIlarious) but the first two are only in the 77/76 % ranges which makes me VERY uneasy). But, that's another $42. Then we started talking about schools, which I asked if I should or should not apply to Columbia (the most recently added). I kinda let it slip for the first time that it is my number ONE dream school. (Yup, I wasn't even going to apply for it :P). My mom is kinda freaking out though, because now she realizes that Harvard was NOT my first choice (still a dream school, but it's number 3). But, I sent my scores and the whole nine yards to Harvard, so, again, we would be losing scores if I switched now. If we DIDN'T switch but I DID apply to Columbia, that's another $80. :/ Very, very torn.
On a random note, I have realized I can talk my way into some points for my AP classes when it comes to writing. :) Honestly, I thought I drew scribbles all over my paper for the last Gov essays, but for one it was a 90 something, the second a 80 something, and my over 100 something for my objective test balances it all nicely. <3 Glad to know I have some still unknown skills. ^^
Otherwise, it's been boring, once again. Mostly writing essays like a crazy person, then chilling with Hulu. I think I may or may not be getting sick though. :( I keep trying to go to bed early, but Sunday night it ended up being 12 not 11, Monday night was 11 not 10, Yesterday was 10 not 9, and I already missed the 8 o'clock deadline for tonight. :/ HOPEFULLY I can make the 9. :P
On a happy note: I'm going to this even tomorrow about that book I had raved about over the summer, No Impact Man. I may even meet the author or something! SO EXCITED <3
College Mode ACTIVATED,

A fairly uneventful week
Sadly life is settling into a routine here. I actually started making little schedules down to the half hour for how long I will work on what once I got home. (But something about knowing you'll be working on Homework or College stuffs all night is really unappealing.) Also, I haven't been feeling all that great as of late. No idea why. For one thing, I got all these itchy hives from who knows where. Probably from the new laundry soap which is REALLY annoying because I have no idea which clothes are contaminated. ><'''
As for school, it was SO not fun this week. As in MAJORLY stressful. The worst was in BC calculus we took a mock AB test. Which, basically was a review of everything in AB.........which I have yet to learn. T-T I got 7 out of 28. Yea, THAT bad. Good news? Everyone sucked to some degree. XD The highest was a 17, which was an 85%. Then a large group got 75%. The rest of us got a 65% (which btw, I was NOT the only one who got 7 which made me feel MUCH better considering they HAD taken AB). The better news? She ended up not taking it for a grade. XD The catch? We gotta retake it next week. :/ Don't think a week is long enough for me to learn everything for AB. Oh well, I did the math. Even with a 65% for a test grade, I'll still make like a 94% in the class :P. TAKE THAT BC CALCULUS!
On a totally random note: I looked HOT on Friday. X) No idea why I felt like saying that, but it twas a fact. Got some compliments, mostly from guys which I found quite funny. (People I know though, most with girlfriends so they didn't mean much by it.) If you're wondering what I looked like, I had a super tight purple sleeveless turtleneck, black pants, heels, and a long silver necklace. Showed off how slim I now. XD All for fancy Friday <3.
Speaking of Friday. In AP Government, we're having elections for president of the course. I'm not running of course, but I helped start this PAC (a group who supports a candidate who supports our ideals) with two other girls in my class. They wanted a PETA PAC, I wanted a Green PAC, so we made the Green PETA PAC. XD Well, we had our speech written out to tell everyone what we were about but one girl had been out and the other was leaving early, so I was stuck reading it. I thought it was quite funny because, even though I hadn't planned on reading it, I was dressed all fancy XD. I even added my blazer so I looked very professional. It matched so perfectly, because the beginning of our speech was extremely professional and serious. Then suddenly we're like "We want a candidate who will save the tree animals like cows and vicunas and the money trees they live in!" Then we get serious again saying we want to stop wasting ink on printing power points and how we're killing the trees by doing so. Add emotion by DEMANDING change. Suddenly switch to "do it or the vicunas will eat you like they did to the last person..." Finally, "we bid you good day."
So got a standing ovation xD. Best speech yet. :)
But that's pretty much it! For reals. (sad right? :( )

Ps: if you're wondering what a vicuna is, it's kinda like a llama <3

......I see new people. O.O
Wow! This week has been........strange to say the least? Well, more like surprising. XD
For one thing, I tied for the high score on the AB calculus test (with the teacher's daughter mind you XD) on a test I was SURE I failed. (In contrast, I'm still CERTAIN I failed the BC test :P My calculator couldn't even figure out a problem XD).
Picture day was on Wednesday! I ended up ACTUALLY wearing the dress I bought. (*Gasp!*) I think it turned out ok. :) I ended up getting cap and gown pictures too, because apparently I "might as well". :/
Now, here was what was really strange. On Wednesday, the guy behind me invited me to go to a Chemistry study group with him and some of his friends.......and I didn't even know his name. ><' Obviously, they wanted my super smarticleness, but it was soooooooooo weird. O.o Basically, I said I'd try, got his number, then furiously consulted with Ting and my mom. XD After I decided I wouldn't go, a girl came up to me in another one of my classes and asked if I was going. ...........Didn't know her name either XD. But, I did know she sat in front of me in Chemistry, and felt a little better knowing there was at least ONE other girl there. So, I (somewhat reluctantly) agreed. Sure enough, I showed up at the coffee shop at 7:30 that night, there were just four of us including me......and actually had fun. :) They were a bunch of jocks, and I was basically teaching them, but there was a lot of joking so I enjoyed it. Normally, I'd never put myself out there like that, but apparently I'm much more confident than I once was?
Speaking of confident, you will not believe how crazy I am. I asked a guy to homecoming. Yup. I did. Barely even knew him too, might have talked to him a whole 2 times before I asked. But I decided, "I wouldn't mind him being my date, what the hey! There's a 98% chance he'll say no and think I'm weird, but I'll ask for the 2% he'll say yes. :D" So I did. Went right up to him after class (with a little prodding from Ting, even though she didn't even realize who I wanted to ask), and asked something extremely awkward like, "Hi, I know we don't talk a lot and that this is completely out of nowhere, but would you go to homecoming with me?" (And yes, that's the best I could come up with, sue me.)
As if that's not surprising enough, he said maybe. ^^ (To which, I was freaking out because I was just happy having asked him.)
And to make it even MORE surprising, he came back and said yes. :) The moral of the story? I HAVE A DATE. XD (Which is good, because everyone's still dancing back and forth between, going and not going like always.)
I still can't believe I asked a guy though. ><' Where has this confidence come from?! I HATE asking anybody anything that they might say no to!
On a totally unrelated note, my bio class is giving some baby plants hormones/steriods. :) Also, I think I may be sick. :(
Until Next Time,
~S~
