i'm blessed to have the college experiences and the opportunities that i had. 

i'll be working for credit suisse!

HUGE sigh of relief, especially since this is what i've been after for the past month

the one nice thing i bought for myself this summer:
red elie tahari "angelina" dress 

i've developed an extreme case of intellectual inferiority here. it's weird though, since how well i do isn't even dependent on how much effort i put into my classes. i type up a paper the night before and get a 97. i write a different paper the night before and get a B-. i study one day for last quarter's econ midterm and got a 93. i study for four days for this quarter's midterm and didn't even make the median.

granted, a lot of variables could have been under my control, but they weren't and hindsight is always 20/20. i've accepted it and moved on -if there's anything i've learned in the past two years, it's that some things just fall into place. 

also, i have a profound appreciation for the school that i'm at. it takes a special place to bring out discussions on quantum mechanics and GMOs while amazingly trashed. 

in four weeks, the supposedly best time of my life will be half over. i will not let academics get in the way of learning.

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

I'M A SECOND SEMESTER SENIOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
