Let them eat cake

My cakes have personality! (:
(It came out of the oven like this)

Teacher Recs

YESYESYES, REQUIREMENTS FOR TEACHER RECS ARE DONE!

Just need to turn them in mananaaaa, I have not felt this relieved in a while... I can just imagine how great it's gonna feel once I get past college apps & financial aid forms :D

Today was fun-ish, but tiring... kind of. I stayed at school (mainly because Ricky made me) during 6th to work on layouts and only got one done; thinking of elements is so difficult! ): After school I watched Ricky and Edward draw John & Winoma(?) from The Crucible on the board which was fairly amusing, I wish I could've taken a picture of it! Anyways, then I went to the mall (and then back to Ricky's house cause he forgot his backpack -_-) and then to the mall again where I read Jane Eyre while Ricky and Chris did homework. Jane Eyre is a good book, but it's awfully long. D: I'm only like halfway through the novel...

I went home around 7 where my dad, who was walking Charlie at the park, called me to tell me how he met another dog owner whose dog looked EXACTLY like Charlie ("They could be brothas!"). The guy said that his dog was purebred so there may be a large possibility that Charlie is a purebred too! We always thought he was mixed because he was rather large for a Pomeranian, plus the pound rarely has purebred dogs up for adoption. So... a pleasant surprise, kind of? Idk, I had heard that purebred dogs have more health issues... "/

I turn 18 in 13 days.

Like that annoying kid who never goes away,

stress never leaves me alone. ):

Asdfghjkl;
It's 12:30 AM at the moment and I'm craving a midnight meal! Only in Taiwaaaaan... D:

So I finished all my hw today so I could save tomorrow solely for college app stuff.
Need to:
- Go to Target/Staples to buy "self-adhesive/peel-and-seal" envelopes for Hinman's rec requirements
- Organize teacher rec stuff
- Finish filling our Common App
- Personal statements, seriously.
- Financial aid & the 1234567890 pages of paperwork that come with it
School:
- Read Jane Eyre/journal
- Start Jude the Obscure...

College Board reminded me that both my birthday & Oct SAT is 13 days away. Thanks, College Board, for brightening up my day! 70% sure I'm going to do worse on M2C & Lit this time around.


Wishful thinking...!

Probably not worth reading

I am a terrible blogger.

College apps:
Teacher recs, applying for financial aid and personal statements are stressing me out. Luckily, I think I've finally narrowed down my choices for private/out of state schools: NYU, USC, Pomona & BU. I know there are alot of other amazing private/out of state schools, but these are just the few that meet my preferences like location (Pomona & USC are close to home; NYU & BU are close to my aunt's home) and potential major. But I guess we'll see what happens. Of course, I'm still planning on applying to UCs (currently UCLA, UCSD, UCI, UCD) but those apps don't open up until Oct 1st so I'm not really stressing about them yet. 2 essays done, who knows how many to go. ):

School:
Having my only four AP/academic classes in the morning is pretty nice since I get to get everything over with. (: It really sucks when I have an econ & calc test on the same day though... Calc is pretty tricky stuff, and it's only the first chapter. ): I miss Roach/pre-calc aloooot! As for English, it really isn't as fun anymore. The people in my class aren't boring, but the class itself is rather dull. I miss Hinman's wittiness. "/ Sorry my post isn't particularly invigorating. I really don't have much to report except that I'm really hoping to branch out this year. No more staying in the backroom during lunch anymoree!

Premonition:
October is going to be a hectic/exciting month, [mostly] looking forward to it! (:

Side rant: I hatehatehatehate hypocrites. SO MUCH. To be specific, I hate the people who don't even go out of their way to avoid the habits that they themselves criticize. Even more, I dislike people who don't live up to their word. If you're going to do something, DO IT. I understand that some people are just too lazy to fulfill their promises but if they can't even go through with what they say, they have absolutely no right to criticize others when they fail to live up to their expectations. What's more, admitting your lack of responsibility means nothing unless you work to improve it. A huge pet peeve of mine, which has been building up recently, is when people admit that they didn't live up to their word but then do nothing about it. A confession does not equal a waiving of responsibility. Ugh, tolerance is a tedious practice.

P.S. I really want to ask for steering wheel & car seat covers for my birthday...
I hate leather.
