I have a credit card! =]

Little Notes

~ Every time I see your name on my phone, my day brightens up a little
~ Not talking to you for a prolonged period must be one of the hardest things for me to do
~ One reason why I love that stuffed dog so much (other than the fact that it's so cuddly!) is that it's from you
~ TA-ing sophomore year? I couldn't give up those car rides =P
~ Wanting to watch scary movies might have been partly fueled by the fact that I could use them as an excuse to cuddle up to you
~ Even though it was ridiculous, when you asked me in Truth/Dare, I might have spazzed a little... And flipped out, and had a huge smile, then realized you might have been joking
~ Some of those random blog posts from forever ago were probably about you... They couldn't have been about anyone else
~ I could spend an entire day just sitting next to you, doing absolutely nothing, and be completely happy

Well, I'm Screwed

Lit essay, TONS of scholarships, and four tests to study for... And this gov vocab list is a killer. Plus Ross and I are sort of screwed for the psych project... xD At least he's having a good time at Carleton! =]

Time to see if I really am addicted. =P

Yay Money!

$1000 from Bio-Rad! It's not a ton, and Princeton will probably take it out of my aid, but... I guess there's a little plus to knowing you're paying for your education due to merit, and not because you don't make enough money... Though, of course, I wouldn't turn down the latter either. xD

Happy =]

I think these past few days were possibly some of the best in my life. I'm sort of ridiculously happy. =] So much homework to do for the rest of break though! x.x Lit essay, gov/psych notes, econ homework, lit/calc/psych/econ tests... Blah.

I also have a ton of random college stuff now, that I probably won't wear... Berkeley sweatshirt, USC + Duke shirts (the Duke is an XL btw, because apparently people can't sort shirts), and a Chicago scarf. The scarf is super tempting though... I might wear it and just hide the embroidered part. xD

So much mail from Princeton!!!

On another note, you know that insane nationwide Presidential Scholars thing for which I applied? The one I just filled out and BS-ed because I knew I wasn't going to get it? Well, I still doubt I'll get it, but I'm a semifinalist! One of 550 in the country, which is pretty good if you ask me. Apparently it's something worth noting for local news stations and schools, so I guess I'll send them the page the Department of Education gave me... San Ramon can be proud. xD I'm special. =P

DUKEDUKEDUKE

Had a nice tour courtesy of David and Wayne today! Plus some really yummy food! =P Sarah's hosting me, and it's pretty awesome, since she has a single and so there's a ton of space.

Duke's super pretty - lots of trees and everything is so open and all. And everyone is super nice, even more so than the people at USC! People say thanks to the shuttle bus drivers, and this girl ran up to the bus to give me my phone, which I had dropped while running to catch the bus. They're all insanely nice...

David's frat bros are pretty awesome and funny; I'm having a super fun time talking to people or just listening to people talk. Played Publish or Perish today, it was pretty epic. xD

The actual program starts tomorrow, and though it'll be interesting, I doubt it would be more fun than today. Ross and I are probably going to sit in on a few classes, take a few tours, etc. Might as well make use of the time here!

HI ROSS!

Since you like reading my blog so much, here's your very own post!

Yay Sitting!

Watched the rest of the qualifying rounds, semi/quarter/finals... We semi-failed, but whatever! Some of the rounds were insanely intense, I felt like a robot was going to die or something.

Then the two-hour ride back to San Ramon. Now a plane ride to Durham, NC! Awesome! I'll be doing a ton of sitting... At least visiting Duke will probably be a lot of walking. Totally ready to eat yummy food and visit David! =]

Excited!

Now that college decisions are over with, and I've more or less made my decision (Princeton?! =P), I feel rather excited for the rest of senior year. xD It's sort of being able to FINALLY relax and chill. Plus Robotics in two days, Duke, and spring break! AP tests and finals are still going to suck though... But we also have STAR testing that seniors don't have to take (and can sleep in)! But life just seems sort of awesome. =]

I think I'm really going to enjoy the rest of the year up til September, when I need to crack down at college. Maybe excepting those two weeks in May. But everything just seems so... unreal in a sense? I can't believe I'm going to college already - and at one of the #1 schools in the entire nation, at that? Who would have ever thought?

Berkeley Packet!

I distinctly recall applying for LNS at Berkeley... But according to my admissions packet, I was accepted into CoC. Good thing, since I was regretting not doing so... I probably changed it afterward. xD Anyways, I found that sort of amusing. But hey, that means I've officially gotten in with a major of chemistry at two of the three tied #1 schools for chemistry (Caltech + Cal)! Psh MIT, waitlisting. =P

Fun Little Fact

I have three A+s. My second highest grade is not one of them. =[
