I TURNED IN MY UW APPLICATION.

That is all.

(Hopefully) Awesome Stuff

Well, I just had a week off for Thanksgiving and I worked on college essays and applications. I didn't go Black Friday shopping. I did, however, eat three Thanksgiving dinners...

The UW application is due on Saturday... Eek! I think I'll be glad to be done with it though.

I got my EE back and have a week to edit it and turn in the final draft, I just have to add 500 words, should be okay.

For our new CAS project, we're teaming up with an elementary school here officially. We're going to have school supply drives and do the recycling presentations still.

We're reading Hamlet in English. I hate Shakespeare. In the before school bio things we're still working on our IA's and no one has any idea what we're supposed to do. Government is easy, but I have an essay due soon. History is okay, we have a DBQ teat this week and I have nooooo idea what is going on because the week before last we had a substitute that had noooooo idea what was going on.

Now, fun stuff! I'm going to see The Hobbit on the 14th at midnight with my boyfriend. On the 9th I'm going to do an archery thing with three of my friends, I hope I don't suck at it, but I'm nervous. Also, for the record I did not start an interest in archery because of The Hunger Games, I have liked archery since I was, like, ten and saw Narnia, so THERE.

So all of my CAS Projects are Failing.

I am so frustrated. Green Team failed because Brad was being too flaky and it was unrealistic anyway. So now Rei and I are trying to figure out something to do with Metzger Elementary, but they haven't been replying to our emails or picking up their phones. My short film is failing because everyone is too busy to help me with it, but I might be able to save it still. Hopefully.

On the bright side I've read two books just to read them.

Oh! I went to OSU on Saturday! It was alright. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it. The campus was pretty, but I don't really see myself going there. There were a lot of attractive engineering students though... Haha. I'm still going to apply.

I need to finish one more UW essay and my UO essay and then I'll be done. I hate college essays so much.

I FINISHED A COLLEGE ESSAY!

It's the main one for UW. I have to do another short one for them and then I have to write one more for UO and then I think I'm done! This is so scary/exciting!!

Yesterday in history, Mr. Savage told us our homework was to marry someone rich. I don't think any highschoolers are rich...

Also I just found a website called Goodreads and it is so amazing and useful. My profile is: http://www.goodreads.com/emigirly33

I am getting so frustrated by the Green Team. I don't know if we'll actually be able to go down to Mississippi, and to be honest I'd kind of be fine with that.I need to talk to my co-president though, if we just send a check or mailed down school supplies or something... sigh. It just seems so unrealistic right now and Brad, the guy in college who did the trip before, has been really flaky and not reliable. He's supposed to be the one planning the actual trip and he hasn't done anything. Ugh.

At least I made brownies today.

I'm going to make the short film that I wrote. I'll post it on here when we finish!! I'm excited about this too!

What is a Life?

I feel like I won't know the answer to that question until I turn in all of my college applications. I have to complete all of those, work on and English essay, and do a research paper for economics. The economics thing should be pretty easy though. Oh, also I have to do CAS proposals.

I might be making a short film if I have time too. I wrote it. It's pretty good for a first time, not going to lie haha. Hopefully I'll be able to make it.

Last night I volunteered at Halloween rooms for French Club. It kind of sucked because I'm not really friends with anyone in French Club, and everybody except me and one other person left an hour before we could close. After that I went home and ate candy.
