This is why Amazon.com should have closing hours.

Because instead of writing, like I really, really, really should be doing, I'm poking about Amazon.com, adding things to my wishlist like crazy.

This is not productive, Sky. This is not helping any writing get done.

Bah. I have two college visits this week. One on Tuesday, to the College of Santa Fe ( where I am not applying, but I am visiting because my dad insisted upon it ) and one on Thursday/Friday to St. John's College ( which I will be applying to, if I don't get in early to NYU ) which is an over night, and I am very much looking forwards to this one. I will always have some affection for St. John's, having lived there for three years.

But... yeah. I need to study for the SATs. Again. But I can't start this until I get back to NY, and that gives me a month only to study. Ah well. This is no fault of my own; I left the books there. And at the same time, I also need to be starting applications. Air, you suck for having most of yours done. XP But again, not much I can do, as everything is in NY.

Speaking of NY, though, I should let all you out there know that I am leaving here ( "here" being Santa Fe, New Mexico ) early next Sunday. Which means? I have a week to clear out this room, visit two colleges, and pack. Which also means that I will be in NY on September 7th, for the senior meeting. ( I had a dream two nights ago that I missed this meeting and I didn't have my schedule on the first day of school. I woke in a panic, and then realized that I didn't have to get up for school, and I hadn't missed the meeting. But I still had the bejeebus scared out of me. )

Um... what's the point of this post? I'm procrastinating still, of course... >.>;;

Oh yeah. before I forget, allow me to advertise:

Hehehe. I'll probably be advertising Kirwan like the day before we post, and the day the post goes up.

I haven't finished most of my apps...I've just finished all of NYU's and bits and pieces of the common app, which I'm using for four other schools. But I haven't done any supplements, and I haven't decided yet if I'm going to use the same essay for all my apps, or write another essay or two.

I bet that if I'd sent my SAT prep book to you two days ago, you would be getting it like tomorrow or the day after... But it doesn't really matter since it's not that huge of a difference, and plus you're pretty busy not writing your story over there in SF anyway.

I really wonder whose bright idea it was to make a light brown cursor, because I totally can't see the cursor on this gray background, and I totally bet that if I had a paid account, it'd be just as bad in my journal. The cursor color should be customizable. *grumbles*

Erf, college visits. SJC is your safety, yes?

Shame on you! Shopping instead of writing your story! Of course I would never do that!

Yeah, I'm doing college apps.

Sort of. O:-)

Eh, I'm applying early to Evergreen. If I get in, I may just not apply anywhere else.

It ROCKS. They don't have grades, they have evaluations, and it's a gorgeous campus, and huge, but very few peole, and...
