(no subject)
Since my rant yesterday about getting deferred, I've looked into the information they've sent me, and it's really a piece of cake. The only problem is that stupid deadline. I've got ten days (I counted wrong earlier xDD) to get those letters of recommendation and my essay finished and turned in. It might be tight, but I have confidence that I can make it!
My essay is easy and it'll be simple as shit to write up a great essay about why I SHOULD have been accepted. I considered writing a rather angry one, but I chose to go for the "humility" path. "It's such a pleasure to be given this opportunity to exemplify why I'm prepared for the challenges of college.... It was poor judgment on my part for not addressing the peculiarity of my transcript earlier." They'll eat that shit up!
Last night I started on my essay, but my mother distracted me. She's in a bit of a slump and wanted to talk about things, and cried about how much she'll miss me... Unsurprising. It sort of wonked up my schedule for finishing my essay, but.... I love my momma. <3 She's also kind of planning on not coming to the beach with us. I just told her that if she won't enjoy herself, she shouldn't go, and it shouldn't be a big deal! She's not inconvienancing anyone, so... no big deal. She's pretty worked up about it, though.
On a lighter note, I cooked dinner last night! We had artichokes and chicken picata (pounded chicken cooked in a butter, white wine, caper, and lemon sauce <3), and it was delicious, and I felt like one of the adults! I had a lot of fun, and Mom didn't have to do any work, so I think she might have liked that.
Today, I didn't manage to call or get over to my school because I got kind of stressed last night, stayed up pretty late, and ended up sleeping all day... Oh well. Codie promised to get me up in time to do shit tomorrow, so that's a relief. So far I haven't touched my essay today, but I'm planning on doing that right now. We took Brandon (future roommate) back to Levelland to see his family and get some of his stuff, and while we were driving through Middle O' Nowhere.... PART OF MY CAR FLEW OFF. Part of the bracing around the windshield fucking flew off because of the wind and the speed we were going! But it's not supposed to do that!! The stupid assholes who replaced my windshield fucked it up! And that's not the only part of my car they fucked up. They also fixed the windows after my car got broken into, and they didn't replace some of the plastic covering on the inside. Rrrghh. So, tomorrow, I think I might also give them an angry call and tell them that they're fucking idiots!!
Thanks to all the people who gave me their support after I heard about getting deferred. :3 You guys (mainly Vicki) rock!! This has been no blow to my confidence. I know I'm better than this, and I know I'm smarter than this! It's their fucking fault for not looking at my SAT scores. Retards.
And, if all else fails, and I don't get my shit together (not going to happen, goddammit), and I still don't get accepted, there is a back-up plan. UNT offered me another course of action: the Deferred Scholars Program. Great name, no? >_> Through this program, I'll attend a community college of my choice, and if I finish twelve hours and keep my GPA above a 2.5 (pfft, please), I'll be immediately enrolled in the spring semester at UNT. AND! I have to live off-campus for this program. Fuckin' score!! So, the back-up plan is almost better than the fore-plan. xDD Hahaha.
I'll keep my journal updated on the situation. (Man, where did I learn to actually talk about my life in a journal on the internet? This never would have happened!)
...Another anomaly in my usual life: I joined Facebook. Godwhy. xDD So, if you have Facebook and haven't already added me and are interested, you can find me under 'Kate Gale.' Location: Lubbock. School: North Texas. (... *weeps* if I'm LUCKY!! ;___; Fucking loser reviewing committee!)
P.S. Insomniac tea is still delicious. That is all.
