Tension After The SAT
I figure that an actual update about my life might be nice. I'm getting lethargic from all the political business.
For those of you that remember, I did this thing called "Destination Dartmouth" a few months ago, where Dartmouth flew me and a bunch of other minority kids up to their school and made us feel all special and cool and whatnot.
Well, I just got a letter from Swarthmore. They want to make me feel all special and fly me up there, too.
I'm hoping a California school will want me to go to their school. I've never been to the EastWest Coast. (Edit: I made a mistake. So sue me.)
The fact that I see these little trips as travel opportunities is a little sad.
I'm not really sure about Swarthmore, though. At first, I wasn't going to go because I didn't think that I wanted to apply there. I didn't think that a small liberal arts college (only 1,479) was for me, but now I'm not sure.
I do know that I can see myself at U of Chicago, though. Sans a few mistakes my AP Language teacher pointed out (I asked Ms. Johnson to read it), my essay is pretty much done. All I really have to do is make sure my recommendations get in on time, rush order my SAT scores, mail my transcript, and do all my financial aid stuff, which is proving to be difficult because I don't know what to put under "Father" and all that stuff.
Ok, so maybe I have a lot more to do than I thought.
Applying to college is stressful, but if you're ever feeling overwhelmed, listen to "Let Go" by Frou Frou (yes, it's that song from Garden State). I promise it will calm you down.
Speaking of calming down, people need to get over shit. Especially shit they have no right to be mad about and that happened years ago.
People make me laugh.
I think my body is trying to suck the rest of me into some sort of depression. All my body ever wants to do is sleep and be alone. But my mind is saying, "No! Stop being such an emo loser!"
Like that made sense to any of you.
I'd post my essay for U of Chicago up here, but I'm still a little hesitant to do so. Maybe if I get in (::crosses fingers::) then I'll post it up here. Not that it'll matter anymore, but whatever.
There's this saying that's been ringing in my ears for the past few days. "Everything comes around full circle." I never really understood what that meant, and I still don't. But I think this past week has cleared up that saying just a bit. It means more to me than it meant last week.
It's funny the way things work out in life.
That's why I believe in karma.
