(no subject)
It was so fucking weird being back at the school today. Lately I've been feeling almost excited about going back and doing the senior thing, but the smell of school hit me as I entered and I started to suffocate. And when I saw all the rising underclassmen, rather than feeling superior and untouchable, I just felt isolated and alone... It got better as time went on, though, and being there with my wonderful friends helped a great deal. When I first got my schedule they had me down for AP Biology rather than Online French (yeah, I can see how you could get those two confused). Pretty much every other person I talked to had equally random problems with their schedule, so we went to talk to Mrs. Clark. We waited for about a half hour before we decided it'd be better to go do our school shopping at Walmart and come back later to talk to her. It turns out we were mistaken, because when we got back the room was full of people and this time we had to wait over an hour before we got to talk to her, and of course doing so was not very helpful. She fixed my schedule, but I had also come to pick up a packet on the National Merit Scholarship, since Simila had informed me that I'm officially a semi-finalist (:D), and she told me she hadn't had a chance to look through it yet, and probably wouldn't until after the first week of school. Knowing her she'll make me miss a deadline or something. I also wanted to arrange a meeting with her to talk about applying to colleges (not to mention get her started on my recommendations), and I had wanted to start sending them out pretty much right away, so this is going to delay that too.
We had fun shopping, though. Apoorvaa and I decided that our mental health is more important than saving a few bucks on school supplies, so we got pretty stuff. I bought an acid trip folder for AP English and a carebear pen, which I'm incredibly excited about.
So, whatever... I can totally do this school thing one more time.
Here's my final schedule, hopefully (unless clark decides to put me in weight and cardio instead of physics or something)
AP English
Physics
Online French
Study Hall
Political Science
AP Chemistry
Choir
Now I just need to make the most of this last week. I have to go back and add/tweak some stuff for my AP English assignment (and my log is already 19 pgs long), review for AP Chem, and get pretty much squared away on applications. I've decided that UM and UChicago are definitely my two top choices, Mich State is somewhere in the middle, and Western's my safety school, though if it works anything like the way it did for Kristy, I should have a few random schools offer me free rides so that's something I'll have to consider.
These entries have been pretty one-track lately. I suppose anything's better than angst. I really was going through a rough patch about a month ago, in retrospect.
