Busy

My mother did not leave work today until about twenty-five minutes ago. At 9:15 pm.

I feel so bad for her.

She's really stressed, and the routine of never being home is driving her insane.

On the bright side, of course, she and my dad are going to the Carolinas this week to look at houses. They're thinking of buying what will eventually become their retirement home, since houses are really cheap right now. And my mom needs a place to relax.

How sad

A girl I know was in DC recently, and posted a picture of the Supreme Court along with her pictures of the Capitol, White House, etc, etc.

The caption?

"Some other building"

I got a free beverage card at Starbucks today because they thought they had taken too long with my drink.

I didn't even realize it.

on break

finally.

You must read this

Especially if you are a sadistic maniac like most of us.

And my dad thinks I should retake, with a 740 in math.

And both he and my guidance counselor think I should take the ACTs.

NO.

tomorrow is the day

I'll find out my sat scores in less than twelve hours.

I cannot focus tonight.

I've checked that I know my password at the Collegeboard website about four times.

I've looked at scattergrams (GPA vs. SAT scores) for about eight colleges.

I have to update my resume, but I want to know my scores first.

TWELVE HOURS, PEOPLE.

I won't post my twitter link (people's real names are on there and I like to pretend I'm anonymous), but it's there.

If you know me, email me for the link.

News

1. I am officially a student at FCS for the summer. I sent in all my materials and got my student ID number and everything. Now, all that remains is for me to convince my parents to let me fly there on my own.

2. I have lots of tests tomorrow, but then I'm pretty much done until spring break, which starts next Friday. Knock on wood, of course.

3. I got to spend over an hour today mixing together solutions and making colorful precipitates. Next week, I will hopefully have some more salts of transition metals to play with so I can make even prettier colors.

4. Report cards for second trimester were mailed today. The only grade I'm sad about is in chemistry, and I should be able to get a high average third trimester so my grade for the year will be an A.

5. I got an honorable mention award at GWU Model UN.

Less than a week until SAT scores are released. I'm hoping that my confidence after the test translates into high scores.
