Maledicte

Guys, it's weird but oddly comforting to be a college student again after so long. First week was awesome, and highly manageable (so I probably won't die when the work load increases) and that makes me happy.

We're almost through The Iliad. We're reading Aristotle in Lab, going through Euclid's propositions and reproving them in Math, and learning ancient Greek (holy crap is that one hard).

In case you wanted to know what I've been up to. :D

P.S. I'm older than some of the people in grades above me. It's weird.

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

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:
