Stuff
I got into UC Davis and UC Irvine so far.
UCLA rejected me. Yeah baby! *dances around with fellow rejectees*
Not like I wanted to go there anyway. It was my parents who peer-pressured me into applying. Not that if I had it my way, I would even apply to any UCs. So huge. So anonymous. So...California. I cannot wait until I receive notice from my private schools. Anything is better than the fiercely competitive Asian environment where education means nothing except mechanics. Seriously, I wonder if those "omg I got a 99.877777777777% and he got a 107.64334434% on that test i'm gonna diiiiiie" people ever figure out that there is life after college. Getting into whatever college isn't really going to end all the suffering in life - I wonder if they realize that? And then by the time they'll realize it, they'll be old and grow nostalgic for their days of youth. Sigh. How sad! I know that in college, if anything, I want an environment as far away from high school life as possible.
Oh yeah...and I turned 18 over last weekend. 18....18....so technically I'm a "legal adult"? Do I feel it? No... So I guess that makes me an "illegal teenager"... haha remember that Kendall?
Today I gave Valia some poetry for her assignment...we sat on the street curb for awhile while passing drivers stared at us...I walked home while it was getting dark, stopped by Quickly Tea. The guy at the counter was really nice and gave me the pearls for free(haha, that's how poor I am). I ran around barefoot on the grass under the stars. And then went on the swings for about an hour, ignoring my Econ AP homework and my math homework. Which brings me to now, procrastinating insanely as usual.
