(no subject)
So, it's been a long weekend. Let's just sum it up by saying that I'll probably be going to Washington College, even if my mom insists that I wait to see if Oberlin and Middlebury un-wait-list me. Nobody can give me money like Washington can, and it's a justifiable school, if not an incredible one. Oh, and then there was Gina's van. Mmmmmm, Gina's van. Man I love her van.
Well, as Roger has pointed out, my colleges got back to me in twos..twoes...two-s? Two acceptances, two rejections, two wait-lists. I just wish I had gotten the acceptances this week instead of before...it would have relieved the monotony of disappointment. Oh, I probably still would have gone to Washington, money you know, but it would have been nice to check the "I'm rejecting YOU now, how does it feel BITCHES?!?!?!" box on the nice letter they give you. Oh well.
My parents and brother are going some time next week or the week after to look at a college for my brother. It's in the Berkshires in Mass., and they have to look at it now because it's some special school for smart kids who are strange like my brother, and he'd have to start next year, not the year after. But I mean...I'm still not 100% sure where I'm going...and I don't have anything figured out and I'm really lost in this whole process, and once my week of rejection was up they just moved on to him. I know it's needed, and you know, all that common sense stuff, and I know this is petty. I should be used to this kind of thing by now. It's defined my entire family life.
My mom said that she'd let me go to Washington without saying anything if I did some kind of project involving the Llama, even if it is my Dad's school and not hers (I have to choose between them now, you see). (I still have to look at its stats, anyway.) Over dinner we/I developed some ideas for a sitcom involving the Girl and the Llama. It's probably going to be called something creative like "The Amazing Adventures of the Llama and Girl". I listed only a few of the many ideas below. Just imagine these plots taking place with the Girl and the Llama attached to each other.
The Llama gets drunk at a party and then insists that the Girl drive him home. They are then pulled over by the cops and forced to spend the night in jail.
In order to make up for its mistake, the Llama attempts to act as the Girl’s lawyer and get her off of the drunk driving charges.
The Girl has an unfortunate accident at the local pool and Llama must perform CPR to save her life. To repay the debt, the Girl acts as the Llama's servant. Hilarity ensues.
The Llama decides that in order to spice up its life it will teach a class on Peru at the local community college, but it soon becomes evident that it does not know what it is doing.
Fed up with the way things are run in the town, the Llama decides to run for mayor
The Girl take the Llama to visit its home country of Peru, and Llama gets in a fight with the stewardess about its bag of peanuts.
After a relaxing holiday, the Llama and the Girl try to go home, but due to a series of hilarious coincidences, they are forced to sneak back into America on a raft.
The Llama gets involved with the local temple and gets involved with many activities, such as Bat Mitzvahs and the like, but it also has to work frantically to keep the Jewish community from discovering its gentile-ness.
The Girl tries out for a part at the community theater (I'm thinking they're doing like, "A Streetcar Named Desire" or "Death of a Salesman" or something) and is crushed when the Llama is cast instead...as the lead role!
Much to the Llama’s dismay, the Girl goes on a physical fitness kick. The Llama becomes fascinated, however, and is soon working out and dieting constantly. Everybody learns a lesson about the importance of good health.
Mr. T caved and said that Gina and I could go see Hamlet if we did our test corrections. YAY!
