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,

All I wanna do is SLEEP
As the title says, this'll be a little rushed. School is exhausting; my waking up early did nothing for preparing me for the walking around all day. Seriously I'm tired.
But anyway, as for today it was........better. Still very much "Meh" by no means "good" but I suppose it WAS better. I believe I deserve a round of applause or an "A FOR EFFORT!" for my improved socializing. I talked to more people today. Officially, I'm pretty much plain old friend with (I learned how to spell it but now I'm certain I've been pronouncing her name wrong) Quiting. I also met Matilde (or may end in a not sure). She's a foreign exchange student from Italy. Though she's our age, she's here as a junior so we have the same lit class! <3 (Not the only old person there!!!) Sadly the teacher gave us assigned seats today and we're far away from each other :/ She's nice though.
I like my chem teacher. Met her today, she's really cool. Apparently she and my bio teacher are best buds and they're so happy I'm in both of their classes (people don't do bio and chem at the same time). Speaking of Bio, we have a quiz tom. That means I've been reading all night to prepare. Fun, fun, fun. But I actually like Bio. I'm basically part of a little group <3. The group has Uniquea (still don't know how to spell her name), Addie, and I believe the last girl is name Marleen (she was putting Pokemon stickers on her binder, I like her already). So nice to have some partners I could work with.
Calculus is kinda up in the air. I like the teacher, but my AB class full of juniors isn't very fun because I feel so stupid. Then in BC I feel out of the loop AND stupid. I was assigned a seat with a bunch of guys who are all friends (I'm not used to being around so many guys) and I was the only one who did the hw. .-. Apparently, it wasn't REALLY hw. Oh well. I'm still semi understanding the class. :)
Civics was ok. We did those "get people to sign all your squares!" survey/games. I actually learned a lot of peoples names X). I actually made an effort to ask them and smile. I talked to a girl named Charity, complimenting her braids. Talked to a girl named Misty, learned about her wanting to a vet. Talked to a couple of guys too; they both moved from Mexico.
Later, I even made an effort to talk during lunch and medical procedures. I tried to talk to a junior in English, but realized "Wow, I'm going to hate this class." I miss Mr. Williams and his class. So, I may need a pill to bite down on that will kill me in case things get rough. :P
The bus ride was still an hour. Lots of reading/memorizing. SLEEP TIME <3 <3 <3

Check, check, check!
So this morning I added something to my little dry erase circles: a check list. Basically of things I wanted to do since I've moved before school started. Item one? Decorate room. Check. Item two? Haircut.
There's this place we pass by on our way home called A la Mode and I was always like "huh, I can go there." Online, however, it didn't look so great so I was iffy. Still, we stopped by when we couldn't find this other place I wanted to go to. It was cheaper than expected so I was just like "Sure! Why not?" Then I saw my hair stylist who was midway through waxing her eyebrows and kinda was like ".......nevermind." But I didn't say that :P that would be rude. Instead, I let the appointment continue (after she finished waxing of course) and, surprisingly, it turned out great! She worked with me trying to figure out the game of limbo ("How short should we go? HEY! How short should we go?"). In the end, (much to my shock and somewhat dislike) we had to go asymmetrical (thanks to my infamous flip that only the LEFT side of my hair does in the back.......stupid cow-lick), but I look great :D Mom loves it (she always wanted me to go asymmetrical) and I'm getting used to the uneven-ness of it (I like this all orderly :P). If you want pics leave a comment and I'll send em X) (Don't wanna post them cuz my mom took them, so they're a little goofy ^^')
Haircut? Check. Glasses?
I've been looking at glasses for the past few days and had my eye appointment today. Of course, my eyes did get worse (I'm finally in the 5's! Isn't that sad?). The optometrist was really nice though :) It's weird seeing a buff guy in that position though .-. (like why is this hot guy working as an optometrist in wal-mart?). Then we picked out my glasses! Went through like 50 of them over the past few days (if not more) but finally settled on a random pair we found today. I like em and they're eco-friendly-made-out-of-recycled-goods. ...sad part is I prob won't get them for the first day of school. :( Oh well.
Glasses? Basically check. Outfits?
Now that was crazy. Once again I hired my mom to help with my first day of school outfit (which is WEDS I'm SOOOOOOOOO nervous!) and we went through so many dif kinds. X) Finally we settled on one that looked so me but made me look super cute and VERY skinny. It was more regular than I wanted, but so me, how could I say no? While we were there, we picked outfits for the rest of the week and monday too ^-^
Outfits? Check. LIST DONE <3
Speaking of school though, guess who's doing bc calc? *gun to forehead* Lol, jk. But I prob will be in major trouble and stress mode for awhile, but *cue music* I WILL SURVIVE!!!
That's it for today, I'm pooped! And, apparently, my bus arrives at 7:35!!! Which meaaaaannsssss I have to wake up at 6 instead of 6:30. I'm practicing tonight, wish me luck!

I can't feel my [insert random body part here]
Omg it's so late T-T (for me anyway, bed time's literally in like 5 so I'll prob just go to bed late) and I've only just NOW really gotten to sit down and do NOTHING. (well I am typing this, but that's dif :P)
Yesterday night was EXTREMELY stressful. To put it simply, yesterday was a bad day for business.
Today was a bit better. Despite me killing the dog the night before (I swear, he was just running one second, limping the next!), we still woke up this morn to drive him all the way out to this lake because it's the only leash free trail that we know of. .......Sadly, the road was closed..........which we found out when we got all the way out there. Plus side: we ended up stopping by the farmer's market and this organic food place. Down side: I hadn't gotten to take a shower yet cuz we were supposedly "just walking", was in a terrible outfit (meant for a trail not for town square), and we had no money (cuz who needs money at a trail?) Then we came home, got presentable and all, before getting us some BRUNCH! Followed by chaos at Walmart for Tax-Free school supplies.
Really though, things didn't go crazy til I started THE TASK. What is THE TASK you ask? THE TASK was to unpack all of my boxes today. THE TASK seemed possible when I started. THE TASK seemed finishable when I continued. I even (basically) completed THE TASK. .........but it all came at a very great price. T0T My whole body is KILLING me and I'm just so exhausted. Didn't help that we went on an extra long walk with Kiko tonight too. Even the yummy dinner with some of the cucumbers from the market and frozen yogurt from the organic place didn't ease the pain.
And tom? OFF TO ANOTHER LAKE! YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY! (That's actually not totally sarcastic, I quite like exploring........s'long as I'm prepared :P)
As for the runway poll...........................
I STILL DON'T HAVE MY MIRROR AND THE STUPID BATTERIES I BOUGHT FOR MY CAMERA DIDN'T WORK!!!!!!!!!! (Once I'm trying to put them in, mom comes in and NOW chooses to say "Oh that camera only takes special batteries".........even though she was there with me when I bought THESE batteries today and after I SPECIFICALLY said THIS is what the batteries were for ><'''')
So hopefully by the latest, pics will be up on Mon. (which is the latest cuz sched pickup is weds, YIKES!)

Crash and Sleep
Finally, a lazy day. <3 (Hey, sometimes I miss the old ways :P) Today I slept in! (til 8 XD) but before you blame my total crashing on my running, it was actually the mountain that did me in. ><' By mountain I actually mean giant AR hill located at the end of the trail. It felt like a mountain though cuz a giant buldozer had gone through to make way for power lines, so the ground was littered with the dead trees (sad days), loose dirt/gravel, and even some remains of a house! I'm not much of an explorer, but I followed Kiko and my dad and just focused on not falling down. X) That on top of my running, grocery shopping, and unpacking made for a tiring day.
Since I slept in today, though, I feel all groggy. Downfall of getting 10 hours of sleep I guess. All I wanna do is take another nap XD. Too bad I still can't! We are cleaning and unpacking (as always). I got my closet filled with all my clothes yesterday!!! (Now what to do with the rest of my junk........) Still, boxes and boxes await. Fun huh?
We met some neighbors yesterday. :) Well Kiko did. Kiko is always the center of attention. (We didn't even learn their names ^^''') But the biggest news really is.........
WE HAVE INTERNET!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh I'm so happy :D :D :D No more running out to Hastings or Barnes and Nobel to check one's email! It's a good life <3
