School didn't bore me too much today. Isn't that ironic, we go there to learn, to expand our minds, to become credits to our parents and to our country and most of the time I'm bored out of my mind at Bishop Denis J. O'Connell, located in Arlington Virginia, a.k.a. the east coast. Your welcome Dan.
Anyways~sometimes people surprise me. Yes, I gather, that the majority of the time my first impressions of people are wrong, but still they tend to be my opinions thus I want to trust them. Anyways~someone surprised me today, in a good way. And in this case, I like being proven wrong.
Mrs. temme hates the verb to be. She screams about it all the time. If she were to read this, she'd lecture me about not really being. "Your not just existing, Colleen. Your typing, your thinking, don't just exist, don't just be." "Thank you, Mrs. Temme. Whatever you say, Mrs. Temme. I worship you, Mrs. Temme."
Apparently, the percent of people who vote for national elections is low, but the percent of people who are registered to vote and do, is overwelming. I'm tired of Ben Affleck and P.Diddy telling me who to vote for. Did anyone cetch the vice presidential debate? Cheney was awesome. Here's an overview for you: "Edwards, you suck. Your senatorial term was a joke. You have no idea what your talking about. You are beneath me. The end." Oh, shot down.
Obviously, I have way too much time on my hands for the moment. Ok, I confess. I am currently puting off starting my Clemson application. I don't want to sound whiny or ungrateful but applying to college is scary. Especially if you know exactly what you want, but you are in no way gauranteed to get it. What if I don't get in? My mom has said not to get my hopes up, not to set my heart on it, but I have. I know that they only take about 25% of out of state kids who actually apply, and I know I'm not a legacy, and I know I'm not the smartest person in the world, or a national merit scholar but still...
Who knows, I could see a school next week and actually like it enough to apply, but I know all I'll be doing is comparing it to Clemson. I'm really excited about graduating but all of this just isn't as easy as I thought it was gonna be.
Stupid American Dream. Shut up, Fitzgerald!
