EDIT: Dear American Idol. There were 20 people left, and 4 had to go home. Somehow, you managed to eliminate BOTH of my favorites tonight: Aloha Mischeaux and David Brown. I actually thought David was going to win the whole thing. YOU FUCKED UP, AND I HATE YOU.
first of all, fuck you, livejournal. you pull this read-only shit again, and i will kill you.
okay. i have to rewrite a happy entry now. okay. here we go.
today was really good and productive.
went to stuy and the honors college, got them to send my transcripts. went to robert scott, head of the scholars academy, and now he's going to write a huge personal recommendation for me and attach it to my Statement of Good Standing. he can be annoying sometimes, but today he was my every wish and dream.
saw jane at stuy, hugged her. she is a huge racist, yes. but she called me hot, so i hugged her. if we ever have a real conversation, ill bring up her racism, but for now she was on her way to class and i was on my way to finish my business with the college office.
the main thing here is (oh man. this sounded so much more upbeat before, trust me. i was really out-of-my-mind happy until ten minutes ago.) i feel really good about myself. im becoming myself again, both on the inside and out. the last two years have been somewhat of a dip into the cthonic realm (holler sophomore english class) but i feel like im out or almost out of it, and im a hero. i have my hair again, im getting skinnier, and i feel confident about my future. i think one major thing that made me feel better is that sarah told me that she would accept me if she were running the college. that meant a lot to me, because i know its not bullshit, and her opinion means a lot to me. btw sarah, i loved your play. i know i said it before, but now im saying it here. =)
the next two weeks are going to be really CRAZY busy, but im going to have fun with it, and everything's gonna be alright!! so here's my basic itinerary (written in my class notes two days ago):
Th. March 3 - table for NYPIRG's environmental campaign mercury poisoning writing letters to the governor event. give marwa $7 to see her Angry Vagina on friday. go to stuy to see "into the woods," insist on hanging out with people afterwards. write entries for last two weeks in nypirg journal; its due on friday. TANYA COMES HOME!! must hang out with her, possibly on weekend.
Fr. March 4 - Vagina Monologues, 7pm. ANDI COMES HOME!!
Sat. March 5 - Seeing Andi, Aurora, Robert, 5pm. Chelsea Market!! havent been there in ages.
Weekend in General: Columbia Application. do as much of it as you can, and FAFSA/CSS/things if possible.
Mon. March 7 - Albany!! Lobbying the governor to stop the CUNY tuition hike. (Nick, Chris, other CUNY people - YOU COME TOO!!!!!! its free.) write two journal entries for lesbian class.
Tue. March 15 - THE BIG DAY. have columbia app done and mailed a few days before this, the due date. EPA press meeting about mercury poisoning. might have to write up a press release.
There!! also, ive all but decided that my final research project for lesbian class is going to be on The Gender Spectrum. so leon, i already talked to you about wanting to talk about it... ANYONE WHO HAS ANYTHING TO SAY ON THIS ISSUE, come talk to me!! =) info, interviews, anything.
okay, i think that's it. oh, umm (the news is never ALL good!!) there's also the matter of my grandma, and who's going to take care of her since my uncle jay (who lives with her) is getting knee surgery this week. we also dont know if grandma might have any of a whole list of ailments, so im hoping that works out okay. i wonder where my family is right now. i hope it doesnt have to do with her. (okay, just called, it doesnt. yay!)
so, talk to you all later! bye!
