"And so it is just like you said it would be. Life goes easy on me, most of the time."
I sent my deposit money in to Ursinus the other day, so I'm officially going! And I only have to pay $3,700, which is absolutely fantastic! It's so odd--out of all the private schools I applied to, they were the only ones who accepted me (though most of the others were pretty snobby and not really me at all, in hindsight). They actively tried to help me out financially the best they could. They really like me it seems (which is kind of strange, considering the other school's reactions), but I couldn't be more glad they did. I just wish I knew exactly why, I guess. But I could not be more excited. Next is roommates and picking classes and shopping for dorm stuff!
Senior prom is coming up in two weeks! And I'm going with my good friends since elementary school, Julia and Emily! We're getting ready together, and (probably) getting our nails done and all that. My dress is so gorgeous. I borrowed it from a teacher I'm really close with, Mrs. Wilson. It was her daughter's Senior prom dress, and it was $500 (!!). The bodice is pink and purple sequins, and the bottom is different colored layers of pink and purple tulle, so it looks all different colors when the light hits it. It doesn't sound like my style at all, I know, but it fits me like it was made for me. I can't even begin to tell you how pretty it is. I'll post pictures later, of course. And I'm wearing cute metallic silver ballet flats with it, but I still have to get earrings. I'm glad I'm not going with a date though. This way I can dance and just have fun without feeling like I have to stay with someone the whole time or care how I look when I'm dancing, etc. And I love my girls!! We're going to have an amazing time!
May and June are filled with so many good things--the writing contest winners' reception, prom, a million field trips (Washington, D.C., Mutter's Museum, GSA thing, etc.), a general lack of work, my cousin's wedding, Class Night, Senior Awards Night, Reflections, graduation, graduation parties (including mine, hopefully!), summer...
As far as bad things (because there are always some)... My brother is being completely and utterly intolerable. He has been for years, but it's gotten to the point that he will argue about everything all the time. My mom cries pretty much everyday, and he doesn't care. She thinks he hates her, and she just doesn't know what to do. He's too big to physically force him to go to therapy or anything. She's supposed to go on vacation with her friends for 3 days soon, but now she doesn't want to because he'll make it hell for me. But she needs to go now more than ever. It's just an awful situation, and I feel horrible for her. I'm trying to help, but there's only so much you can do.
That, and I'm still a little stressed out because I was really sick and missed a week of school, so I had 5 million tons of make-up work, regular work, 21 hours of work work a week, plus this was the week before my critical paper. My teacher wouldn't give me an extension, of course. So that was fun. Anyway, I'm off to go to Friendly's and then the NPHS production of South Pacific with my family and Best Buddy Amanda. I'll try to write again soon. I've had wicked writer's block, though.
