i'm so tired. i just got back from soccering and showering, and i want to die because i haven't even looked at what homework i have. it's okay though. i'll probably wake up at 5 and do some, then wrap it up in debate.

i didn't like november very much. the past 4 weekends were occupied by debate and soccer tournaments, and this weekend isn't an exception. although i have to say i had a lot of fun debating, soccer is a different story.

all of these tournaments we've been playing have had "college recruiting" as the focus. unfortunately, the schools that have come to watch the tournaments don't appeal to me. i want to go to a haven of academia, not some random school that gives me money to play ncaa III soccer.

ugh. college. i've been thinking about it so much, my head is on the verge of exploding. basically i want to apply to uc berkeley and san diego and an ivy or two. i've also been considering notre dame, johns hopkins, rice, and of course, stanford. of course my top choices will definitely be challenges. the ivys because, well, they're ivys. unfortunately the ucs will be a problem as well, because i'm out of state AND asian. two strikes. third strike will be screwing up my junior year, which i'm in the process of doing.

there are just so many options to consider. and in regard to soccer, actually, playing college soccer AND going to a good school is a possibility. ucsd is ncaa dII, and hopkins is dIII. i definitely can't play dI because those people are all ODP players. dII and dIII i think i could do. i think it would kick so much ass to play college soccer, but right now it's just a dream.

also i finally got around to opening a few college propaganda letters. one of them was actually incredibly fascinating. apparently i can leave school a year early to study at usc. will i look into it? you betcha. i firmly believe that everything about college is better than high school, and i am 100% ready to be there.

you know why i'm ready to leave?

* ib
* high school drama
* family

there's only one thing i want right now, and it's to be able to wake up at like, 12 on a saturday and have nothing to look forward to but friends.
