It Lives!
Hey there journal, long time no...write in? Seriously, I think the only thing I use this account for is lurking on different groups and making the occasional comment. I wish I could say this behavior will change, but I know myself too well to know that that's gonna happen. Anyway, it's not like people are following me anyway ^_^
I'm not really sure why I got the urge to write in this thing. I'm not pissed off about anything (well, besides the usual *coughTLAcough*), and I usually only feel like writing in a journal when I'm in a ranting mood. Well, as long as I'm here...NO SCHOOL TOMORROW! As far as I can remember, this is the first time NYC has given kids a snow day before a single flake has hit the ground. When we heard the announcement during 5th period, we all started cheering, even Mr. Schott XD I'm not sure what I'll do with the day off - maybe go to my friend's house for an epic snowball fight, or maybe invite Kendra over so we can work on my cosplay, or maybe actually attempt to get past the Tarzan jungle in Kingdom Hearts after being stuck there for 5 years. Of course, none of these things will happen if I don't start my homework! Ugh, I hate when I procrastinate like this. Why is the internet so addictive and time-consuming?!
Not much is really going on in my life right now. I got accepted to SUNY Stony Brook and SUNY Albany so far, but I'm waiting to hear from Hunter College. I applied to the Macaulay Honors program and if I get in, my tuition will be free! It'll be great to come out of school with no debt, plus Hunter itself is a great college (my number one pick for a CUNY school). I'm also waiting to hear from Columbia, NYU, LIU, Albany College of Pharmacy, and Bard. I need to do the CSS profile on collegeboard for financial aid (can you believe you have to pay to apply for financial aid? The irony kills me) and send my SAT scores to LIU and Albany College of Pharmacy. Oh, and I need to call a whole bunch of colleges and tell them I'm taking Organic Chemistry, because I forgot to put that on my applications ^_^'
I'm working on a story right now that features the lives of certain people with special talents in a society that sees them as objects to be used or dangerous weapons to be destroyed. I sent my friend Kelsey the first part of Chapter 1 and she seems to really like it because she's always badgering me to send her the rest XD My friend Mahbuba also helped me flesh out the backstory of one of the characters. Believe it or not, that's the main thing preventing me from finishing the first chapter - I keep focusing on their lives before they discovered their powers because I have this insane need to know everything that happened in the past before I can focus on the present. I need to stop; I will get nowhere if I continue doing this for every single character. I console myself by telling myself that at least what I'm writing is in the same universe and involving the same characters (I suffer from Shiny Ball Syndrome and find it hard to focus on one story idea at a time. For instance, I've been thinking a lot about writing a story set in a completely different world and is about a girl and her little sister travelling their world in an attempt to escape an assassin out for their blood due to an old family feud, but that's a story for another time). Hopefully once I get past Chapter 1 it'll become easier to write and the story ideas will flow.
Okay, it's midnight now and I really gotta go take a shower and do at least some homework. I'll try and remember to write in this journal again, and hopefully not a year later. See ya!
