Why does my orange gum look green? o_O

Woo. I should be working on my english paper (which only has to be 2 pages, so I hesitate to call it a paper). I was going to go home and do it, but then I decided not to. I gues I'll just bring it in tomorrow and give it to my teach. Bleh.

The college counsellors here are so not helpful. At all. However, the other college-y person, (What is her actual title?) is much helpful. I actually got to tell her the colleges that I was going to apply to (instead of being told to look at MORE colleges) and she thought I actually have a chace at NYU (instead of being told that I can't go there) and she offered suggestions in terms of tests (instead of being told that I don't have time to take another SAT II and apply ED to NYU). So that was good. It made me happyful. You just know that I'll never be going back to the other counsellors again. NEVER. Idiots.

My hair is being nice to me today. I straightened it this morning, and it stayed. I thought it would be too hot, and it would get all wavy again, but no. Two of my friends were like, "Wow, you look nice today. Your hair is really nice." Which made me happy again.

So. All in all, a good day so far. :D

Always funny for me to see that for NYU. It's a good school, but not worth IMNSHO 40 grand a year, so I turned them down when they gave me 1500 in financial aid. Good luck to anyone wanting to go there though, it is a very good school. Just expensive

I'm applying to Stern (top fifth in the country)...and it's definitely worth it for that, because there's an incredibly low default rate, and people tend to come out and immediately get well-paying jobs.

if you can afford it than it's worth it. I got into a number of schools in that price range that were worth it, but I didnt have the money for it. OTOH, having spent the last year and a half at SUNY Stonybrook, I'm damn happy here and don't think I would have been happier elsewhere. Education and college (within reason) is what you make of it, no matter where you go.

yeah, St. Ann's college advisers arent the best if you're not only interested in ivies. One major downfall of the chool.

My only caution to you about NYU is it aint cheap. My mom's an alumn though, good school. Not worth the money for me, but maybe for others it tis (particulary for writing). 'Luck.
