applications, applications, applications
i'm dreading starting that paperwork. i guess it goes back to me being a procrastinator. i keep putting these things off, but when i finally do them, they really aren't that hard to do. i just feel like someone has poured concrete around me and i can't get going. actually they shouldn't be that hard to do since i finished that whole packet for Japan in about a week. i put that off for as long as i could and then when i finally did it, it wasn't that hard anyway. it's all a bunch of technical stuff anyways.
i took my very last test on saturday morning. finally. the science section was extremely hard this time. i think maybe my brain was just fried by the time i got to it. i'd taken the SAT two weeks before. the essay on that was pretty hard. probably one of the worst essays i've ever written. but i took the act plus writting and that essay was a lot easier. i don't know maybe it was because they gave me more to work with or that they gave me five extra minutes or that i was at least a little prepared this time. i'd seen what the essay was like already and was ready to bomb another one. if they can read my handwriting on this test, i don't think i did too bad. at least on that part. o well
going on a roadtrip
so i didn't like the last template. it only lasted for the weekend. it didn't seem like
me to me. at the end of this week we are going to visit Macalester in St. Paul. finally. i think it is going to be cold up there. it snowed and we are leaving on thursday after lunch. i hope it is all i think it is going to be. if money weren't a problem, i would probably go there at the drop of a hat. i've been looking into their international programs. it seems that this school has quite the department. actually it is more than a department. it is more like what the school was founded on. students from over 90 countries. i don't know what i could do with a major in international studies, but at least it is a direction to be looking. i was looking at the application and it is pretty daunting. it looks long and time consuming. like something i'd want to do over a long break where i had nothing else to do but fill out these applications.
i feel like i'm waiting for scholarship opportunities to just fall into my lap. i know that won't happen, but that doesn't make me go out and search for them. i don't think filling out scholarship applications would be that hard, but i have little motivation to go out and find some for me all the same.
o man...
about time for something new. it's Friday, October 13, and I did not start my day out the way I wanted. I got a warning this morning for speeding. great. right before school. I was in the office for five minutes when Jordan, the secretary's son in my class, came in to give me hell. he passed me on his way to school. the way small towns send news around, my boss probably already knows about it. but at least I don't have to face any of them for a few weeks.
