2 Months

Two months -3 days left of school for me.

We get out on May 23rd, and our graduation is in the next week.
I'm so excited!

I'm going to Orlando for a little less than a week for our Music Department Spring Trip, so that cuts down on the days.

And I'm also going to Medieval Times this Friday for a field trip for English. (Don't ask. LOL.)

So, my mom is totally serious about me getting a job for this summer.
I don't know if I should just ditch the applications for summer camps I submitted, and just work at Giants, or if I should actually take those jobs if they are offered. :/
I feel too lazy to actually work with kids. x_X I love kids, but... I mean, I guess I'll change my mind when I get into the summer time.

My friend suggested Young School summer camps... I might look into those.

I only registered for one AP test for May.
Not only does it encase prom YET AGAIN, I know I won't do well on the Physics or the Spanish AP tests.
So I might as well not take them, you know?
I'm only going to take Psychology AP Test and hope I can get a decent score on it... Wing it like I did the World History AP Test.
(I studied the week of? Before? Read the whole AP book... And then wrote a whole essay about India when it asked for Southeast Asia... But still got a 4 for it. I swear that's the reason why I got a 4... Because I know I did pretty well on the multiple choice... .___.)

I mean, I will accept B's for my Spanish and Physics AP classes... For real. I know I can get an A in all my other classes if I try (some, without trying, but that's not the point)... But those two. I gave up. Even before I started.
I understand nothing in physics, and I really envy those friends of mine that just understand with or without reading the stupid books (which,I should probably read, but I know I won't understand any of it anyways).

I wish I could be like them and not be "good" at the subject but still get 5's... :(
I feel very left out. ;(
Especially when they got accepted into schools like Chicago, MIT, UPenn, Princeton, Yale, Brown, Duke...

I totally know 4 people that got accepted into MIT this year, and they only took 1000 freshmen out of over 13,500... So they got my-county happy this year.
Usually, there's MAYBE one from this county every year, but this year, at least 5 got accepted.

Which also comes to my state university, which accepted only 4,000. That seems like a large number, but in respect to 27,000 applicants, that's quite a small percentage (a little over 15%, I believe?). Especially because it's not a "prestigious school" like MIT. And I don't know how much of that is for the spring semester. (I know a few of my friends got spring admission.)

Anyways, enough about my stupid college rant.
I've signed up for mixi, finally!
Except, God forbid, I don't think it's as good as Facebook, since everyone puts fake aliases on there, and you can't search for things very well... Therefore, I have yet to find any of my friends. (And I have like, two. D:)

April 1st: my remaining 3 colleges come back.
Have been accepted into 5, waiting for 3 more... And I have a feeling I won't get into two of them. x_X
Wish me luck. x_x

Aw T_T If you don't get into them, it's because you needed a 2400 and needed all A+++ in like every subject ever; and you can't do that AND have fun with your life. >____>

Ahaha.

Thanks, Amber.

I do, consider myself intelligent, without being a bitch. But the kinds of people I am surrounded by are... Uh... a little MORE than intelligent? Which doesn't help my self-esteem.

You might say like, "just go be with other people," but then, they automatically think I'm a genius, and I feel like a fool talking to them. x_X

Yeah~ I'm chillin'...err.. kind of.
But... I want to kinda not try THAT hard for the last quarter? D:
My teachers need to figure out what SENIORITIS means!!!

Hi. Thanks for commenting on my blog.
My phyiscs isn't any better. Fortunately, I have a very patient Physics teacher who will teach me until I understand.

By working with kids, what age group are you talking about?

I work with mostly kids kindergarten and below . . . and it can be fun but very tiring at times.

Also, I think you are smart (otherwise I wouldn't bother reading your stuff!) and while it may seems like all your other friends are smarter by going to better colleges and all that . . . (I've been there myself!) in the end it won't matter. I look at myself, having attended a not so very good university, but I ended up with a well-rounded education, and I'm happy with it. ^^ So in the end as long as you're happy, don't compare yourself to others.

Sorry for the long comment!

Why does everyone have so much going on? Sheesh.. I am surprised you haven't fallen over yet. But at least you had the chance to go to Medieval Times earlier this evening. How was it? I sell it all the time at my part-time job at the travel wholesaler but I've never been there. We had a rep from Medieval Times in Anaheim come give us a little info and let us watched a video and it looks fun. Other than eating with your hands part. Good luck on those college applications!
