Ahg! With december fast approaching, college applications have fast approaching deadlines, and it's driving me absolutly crazy. My earliest deadline is the U on the 15th, so I finally got an appointment to meet with my councelor this upcoming tuesday. When I was in the office, asking for 9 transcript request forms, some guy who overheard actually said "what kind of dork applies to nine colleges?" And really, I almost see what he means. I find it particularly wierd that I'm applying so many places since my third choice school--Evergreen is even more likely to take me than the U where I've sworn I wouldn't go. Ah the insanity.......
Anyway, narrowing it down to nine schools was a challenge for me since I've considered about a hundred at times, and now I have to write 8 application essays, get a handful of teacher recommendations and wait until March to find out who's accepted me. Then I'll most likely have to go through the trauma of picking from one of the colleges that accepts me even though I'm pretty sure that I want to go to Colombia or Lewis and Clark and odds are I will get into L&C and I won't get into Columbia, so really my decision shouldn't be that hard. The real trauma will be if choices 1-3 don't take me and the other six do--that'll be rough.
The worst thing is a small part of me is worried that I won't get in anywhere. I'm sure everyone has felt that way, but for me it's irrational.
Yeah, I just need to rant about stuff, any stuff, plus i have a crap load of homework over the weekend--English jouranls, woodworking project journal, math homework, a reading brief for history and a TOK essay evealuating some knowledge claim that is to be determined later, quite possibly the whole Paul McCartney's dead conspiracy theory thing.
