(no subject)
whenever i start to write those stupid "write a letter about yourself" etc. i always get writers block. I find it utterly impossible to write about myself in a manner where i don't sound a) like an idiot or b) corny and stupid or even c)like im bragging. the line between showing what you've got and bragging is so fuzzy, that i don't want to feel like im bragging, but i have to mention stuff like that or i won't get the damn scholarship.
ive always wanted to answer the question "why do you deserve this scholarship?" with a very biting response on how i don't really deserve that scholarship more than any other honors student (unless they're rich) because im only one of a bazillion smart people out there and unfortunately we're all out for the same god damn money supply because the government cares more about a foreign war than funded the education of their future. That is the rant i would like to go on, but im sure i would sound like a whiney bitch, so i refrain.
i really should be reading for gov right now. oh well, i always fall asleep reading that boring book anyway.
i have a quiz in bio tomorrow and im probably going to fail, because Swetz's tests/quizzes are freakin hard as shit and he doesn't teach very well.
good news: A team has no practice tomorrow, and only 3 hours on Saturday.
and more weird news: my skin feels really dry. i seriously need some el lotion.
I found out that I have to read "Lincoln At Gettysburg: The Words that Remade America" by Garry Wills for Cornell so that i can talk about it. the entire university reads this book (or whatever book they pick). but im still going to read The Omnivores Dilemma and The Things They Carried. i still have some B & N giftcards I need to spend.
