michigan [home; known opportunities; doing big things]

vs

chicago [new place, possible more opportunities; doing even bigger things?]

google calendar was my friend. with all of its color-coded events and the ability to view a month's schedule at a glance, it gave me pride in organizing and scheduling meetings and other events. until i realized that i don't have a single free saturday night in the month of march. now you would think that i'm used to this sort of ordeal, but it just hit me that i'm actually quite busy...weekends are worse than weekdays. at least with weekdays, you have some sort of expectation that the weekend will be better. but the weekend doesn't have that luxury. instead, on sunday night, i get to look forward to ms raines's snide comments about late people the moment i walk into first hour (naturally, late).

however much i say i despise it though, i really don't. i love being busy. if i weren't, i think i'd go crazy from reading too much chick lit, eating and hanging out every night, and being online. but a nice day of relaxation every couple of months won't hurt. i should schedule myself some time to relax .

yep, bad week. haven't slept in two days, got a B in stats for the semester, COD tomorrow and saturday night, and random awkward boy issues.

i bawled my eyes out in guinta's room after i saw that big fat C under my name for the exam grade. how ironic...it's almost the only class that i thought i WOULDN'T have gotten a B in. i knew i should've actually figured out when do use certain equations. it was 2 am though                                                      i guess watching win a date with tad hamilton with linda and engorging ourselves at mongolian bbq wasn't the smartest thing to do on exams week. oh well i still had lots of fun, and

Wow. Way too many good stuff at Michigan. Too many programs to choose from.

IGR
Ginsberg
MCS
Honors Program

They all sound so tempting. How the heck do they expect you to make a decision!? I need TIME. Or, the complement of that would be not sleeping. It's not fair. I didn't even send my deposit and I'm already planning for next year here.

Damn pink Michigan hoodie. That's all I can think about. I gotta get that soon.

what i've been hearing most this year:

"go to a good college. it'll be a good environment and you're more likely to find a good boyfriend there"




never mind the fact that i need intellectual growth and stimulation. i guess all i need is a boyfriend

-apparently i have a thing with not going to morning classes
-i don't ever recall being absent from apush
-1 was from being sick, but i went to 5th and 6th hour
-1 was from going with mom to detroit in the morning; went to 5th and 6th hour because i had that 1984 essay due
-skipped precalc once because i had a quiz and wasn't prepared to take it
-i remember skipping 1st and 2nd hour one day because of something....then i parked in plymouth and walked into the middle of the qual lab-OH so that's where that one tardy came from
-lastly, i remember walking into ape really really late because of apac stuff

haha i'm such a slacker now

woohooo an hour of sleep in two days...fun

i've decided to keep a schedule of how my term paper is (not coming along)

5/27
8:40am: three sentences! wo0t. the three sentences took me over an hour, but yeah...at least i wrote something. i'm still 9 and 2/3 pages behind schedule though.
1:27pm: Two paragraphs wo0t! I have my overall intro....now onto the real stuff

i bought three prep books from barnes and noble on monday. my ap lang prep book came in the mail yesterday, and my apush one is supposed to arrive tomorrow. the only book i've opened is gov and the only page i read in it is the percent right i need to get a 5.

apac show is in nine days.
sat II's are in two weeks.
AP's are in three (i think?)




ooh boy i'm screwed

happy birthday to me

now the real cause for celebration is outlining the last chapter of garraty

edit: guess whose waterland paper has been pushed back =D
this alone totally makes my birthday!!

1. i meant to get up at 7 last night
2. then i meant to get up at 9 when 7pm came
3. but my alarm didn't ring
4. so i slept till 7 am

thank god we have a snow day. otherwise i'd be screwed.

i'm really proud of this one. also, i was rereading my last narrative and thought that was pretty good too, especially considering i wrote that very late at night and was in a time crunch. this one took a lot longer to write though, because it really is/was a conflict. i don't think the resolution is perfect, but hopefully it makes sense.

( Read more... )

p.s. i have/had a new blog. it's a lot more thoughtful than this one.

i failed last year's horibbly. execpt i did get an A in psych, albeit it was an A- :-P


1. read a book a month (not for school)
2. do well on all the tests and school stuff
3. figure out what i want to do with the rest of my life
4. learn how to do laundry
5. keep my room at least semi-clean
6. have a GREAT apac show =)
7. have some sort of deep philosophical insight that i can look back on and not think that i was an idiot
8. not pull all nighters on sunday nights (or at all)

i think that's it. those seem pretty do-able too.

it's my narrative, but it's basically about this week:
