...and I washed it, and now I'm wearin' it!

L to the J, J to the L...

Life is so PENDING right now. I don't know where I'll be/what I'll do this summer, where I'll live for 2/3 of next year, or where LIFE will take me. Or even what classes I'll get into for next term (waitlisted for two out of three, yesss).

Seriously. I don't know how everybody applies to college and just waits for months to see who takes them. That's a real big choice. I'm honestly not planning on getting into any of the silly things to which I applied for this summer (and it's only a summer!), but I'm still having anxious dreams about it. I can only make tentative plans until I know my fate for sure, and I'm worried that there'll be no dece jobs left by the time I start to look for them. That's a little ridiculous. Good thing I'll probably know within a couple weeks.

In other news, life's just fine. As my LJ-stalker A.Wong tells me, these are some pretty good times and you'd better enjoy what you can. On Friday I'm going on an airplane to Ohio to watch some amazing synchro (and, like, compete in regionals and stuff). Then finals, a short spring break, and synchro nationals in Boston. Then it will be SPRING and all shall be well.

I was reading about Twiggy, the model from the sixties, and something about her popularity strikes me. I know we hear about how the media influences us so much, etc. etc., but with Twiggy, they honestly said "OK, no more curves, sticks are going to be beautiful now" and everybody said ok. Sure, there was a woman-power movement behind her too, but the stick image has stuck. Hmmm...maybe I'm just getting a little sick of listening to those obsessed with their bodies. Let's all just love what we got, k?

Aight, best get back to business. Parting recommendation for nerds: the "protein primer" movie on Youtube. (it's the one from AP bio!)
