Warning: This is going to be an incredibly retarded entry. And Erin Schaefer if you happen to read this, I apologize for my choice in diction.
So I was sitting in English last week[I've been mulling over this for a few days now, and I've finally gotten around to writing about it] and I was minding my own business. Bobby, a former friend who formerly had credibility asks me: Chandra, you growin' your hair out? Me: Yea, I guess... Bobby: I think you should cut it. So that douchebag things I should cut it. We're not friends anymore, so why doesn't he realize that not only does his opinion NOT matter, but he's also not allowed to give me his impromtu opinion on ANYTHING anymore. I don't go up to random people and critique things about them that I disapprove of. Hell I dont even go up to Bobby and tell him to stop being a douchebag-- an urge I fight on a daily basis.
I like my hair at present and I think I'm gonna keep experimenting while I have the time and patience to do so. So suck it. And on a further note, I had a conversation with a friend who also spoke to Bobby[FYI, he got rejected from every college except SUNY Fredonia, and he got waitlisted at U. of Chicago and Sarah Lawrence] and she told me that they were talking about colleges. She asked him where he was going and he said "well, I got waitlisted at Chicago but they take a lot of people off their list so I'm probably gonna do there." Am I the only one who think's that is a crock of shit? I mean, it'd be one thing to say "I'm probably going to go to Fredonia but I got waitlisted at Chicago and I really hope I get in." Bobby is all talk and he can't back anything he says up. He wants to sound impressive, and he thinks he's very qualified but the fact that he didn't get in anywhere makes things sorta self explanatory-- and I think its sorta pathetic for him to try and save face in front of this girl[who he hardly knows] by telling her he's "probably gonna go to Chicago." [Tidbit: Chicago's normal acceptance rate its 33% while their acceptance rate off the waitlist ranges from 3-11%, the average being 9%] What makes him think that if he didn't make it through the first cut where the acceptance rate is near 33%, that he'll get in from a far more competitive pool where they acceptance rate is nearly 1/3 of the prior? Anywho.
I'm in a good mood now and I had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend. I saw Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2 and I thought they were worth the money. That's rare when you spend $9.25 to see a movie[yes its 9 TWENTY FIVE now]. I'm getting really excited for the summer to begin, however I have hardly begun doing any of the things I keep myself I should be doing. My gym membership is sitting there, all I have to do is get started-- the first step is the hardest, and I dont know whats keeping me from it. I'm getting out of school a little after 12 noon and I'm really starting to run out of excuses. My mother is encouraging me to find a job-- this is a woman who had reservations about me volunteering anyplace. So now I really feel like a putz for not being on top of anything at all. Furthermore, I got a letter regarding Cornell's Prefreshmen Summer Program. It seems really enticing because I guess you'll be able to meet people in a far more intimate environment and you'll spend the summer in Ithaca when its incredibly gorgeous. However, I do feel guilty leaving home any earlier than I have to, and on top of that, the programs begin on June 2 or June 14. Graduation for me is June 26 so I don't think I could make them :-/
Alright, time for me to go back to my "Prime time in the day time" on TNT[I think Judging Amy might be on now]. Be easy niggas.
