Great way to end...
Let me just state a few facts to you all, given to me by fastweb.com...
Clarkson University
Average high school gpa on a 4.0 scale: 3.49
Breakdown of SAT scores of admitted freshman:
500-599 per section: 32-49%
600-700 per section: 30-48%
Selectivity of university: Very selective
scolarships: None yet
Elmira College
Average high school gpa on a 4.0 scale: 3.5
Breakdown of SAT scores of admitted freshman:
500-599 per section: 51-57%
600-700 per section: 25-26%

I do this not to brag, but to instead prove how much my mom hates me and how little she cares about making these last few months of mine with my high school friends worth it. Today I heard back from Clarkson (my reach school) and I was accepted, which surprised the shit out of me. I come home after poker, clean my room, start my homework, and talk to her about college shit. Then, I ask her, mom, can I sleep at Matt's tonight since it is the last day of vacation? I ask her this, basically knowing she will say yes because I did everything she wanted and more this vacation. She tells me, no, just because she thinks I should stay home. That is fucked up. That put such a damper on everything. What should have been a night of celebrating with my best friends for an accomplishment that no one thought I would achieve is instead a night of watching the history channel and livejournal. Thanks mom, for everything. I think I'm gunna take up smoking just to spite her. Well, not that extreme, but I'm pissed at her. This was a good vacation though, I must say.
