making conversation with the friends that i don't know...
this weekend was fairly decent... minus yesterday and today. well really just two events over the course of the past two days, but that's all i'll write about, so it'll seem as if i had a horrible weekend. babble babble.
so yesterday at an easter get-together of the usuals, i was having a lovely time being social and eating. mostly eating, since that's all i do at social events, but there was some socializing. anyway, we're talking and all of a sudden, one of my better friends loudly whispers to one of my other better friends something that i thought i told her to never repeat to anyone. apparently she doesn't understand what that means because i heard her, and apparently she's told a few people already. her excuse? "i thought you told her already!" no, fuck-up. i didn't tell her. when i say "don't tell ANYONE. i don't want ANYONE TO KNOW," that generally means i'm not going to go and broadcast it to the rest of the world. so then i go off in hysterics yelling at her. and she's just looking at me and smiling in her "i certainly haven't done anything wrong" kind of way, which just makes me furious. so yes, i caused a scene. moral of the story: apparently sometimes your best friends can't be trusted. also, for those of you who witnessed the scene, i'm sorry. i didn't want you to get involved.
now on to the next matter: today i got my unofficial nyu acceptance. it's an invitation for the steinhardt kids to "university day." that really made me upset. i honestly was not expecting to get accepted at nyu. i was planning for rejection. i was also hoping for rejection. i wanted the college decision making process to be easy. i wanted to have a clean-cut answer as to where i'd be going to college. now, i don't have that. drexel has a lot to offer me. co-ops abroad, scholarships, my master's degree. on the other hand, nyu is nyu. it's everyone's (including me) dream school. i had wanted to go there since 8th grade. it has it's reputation. i'm sure i'd get a good education at both, though i know that each school offers something different. i have thirty days to make a decision that will affect me for the rest of my life, and now, for the first time this year, i can say this month will be the fastest one. whenever i need a lot of time to think something through, it seems to go by so fast. thirty days doesn't seem like nearly enough time to plan my entire future.
so to combat these dilemmas, i've been eating like crazy. gertrude hawk crunchy peanut butter smidgens are amazing. for some reason, i also wanted to take a percocet (which i had from the wisdom teeth extraction) to see what the effects would be. to see if it would calm me down or something. no. no effects. maybe i had to take more. i don't know, but it didn't do anything for me, so i'm not trying it again.
and thus concludes amanda's bitching about random stuff that doesn't even really involve anyone who reads it.
