I'm gunna live in a castle.Anyways.
My weekend was pretty boring. I didn't do homework for most (any) of it, so now I'm in "do-your-homework" mode, which isn't so much fun. Alas. I saw Tom on Friday though (I wish I could have seen him yesterday and today, too!) and spent Saturday hanging out with Bella, buying belly-dancing gear (a career I hope to launch into, after my 12 weeks of hip-hop/jazz is up, heehee).
I'm also supposed to have an article on girl's basketball ready for my editors of newspaper tomorrow which SO isn't going to happen as I called every single girl on the basketball team and not one picked up, haha.
The next few months are gunna be pretty intense. In February, my padre is heading up to Canada to work at the Olympics--and as I am now a proud passport-owner (heehee, that's a funny story, did I ever tell you? Where Tom got dragged along with us? Heehee) I get to go, too!
The idea of spending time at the Olympics really seriously makes me excited. A global event, where the nations get together to play games? How cool is that?
Then, in March, I'm going to visit colleges! I'm most excited to head to the Last Frontier. My father was so upset, he was like "you aren't seriously considering going to Alaska for college, are you?" Because I'm smart (kinda) and the schools up there aren't exactly the Ivy-League stuff he wants me to aim for. But I looooooove Alaska, like if I had to pick a place to live for four years, that would be it. Plus, when it comes to languages (which I want to major in--in part) they know what they're doing.
Otherwise, ciao West Coast, I'm going to school back east.
OH, and the BIG NEWS of the day: I think I may, for once, actually know what I want to do with my life. Which is pretty awesome. Cause it feels so right when I think about it. And it makes me happy. But I don't want to say...just yet.
One last thing:
(oops, the actual last word: who else is LOVING Contra?)
all pictures from bear
I haven't listened to Contra yet... I've had "Horchada" since November, though, and I love it... it's both such a winter and summer song! Perfect! Plus I love "Cousins" because who couldn't? I almost got it on vinyl when I was in Seattle a few weeks ago, but I was already getting two CDs, so I didn't. I should have, though.(I am, however, loving Romance Is Boring, which LC! put up on their MySpace! SO GOOD.)
ReplyDeleteI was going to be visiting colleges in February, but they wouldn't let me stay overnight at St. Olaf and I can't afford two trips back there, so it'll have to wait for next fall when I'm actually a senior. :( Where are you gonna go??
I actually managed to do all my homework and some finals prep this weekend... and S just left my house cos she came to give opinions on new shoes I bought and also to have dinner (which was delicious).
"Cousins" really is fantastic, but I am loving the whole CD :)
ReplyDeleteAwwww, too bad about St. Olaf! I'm going to try to visit there too, at some point, but I don't really care for staying overnight, haha. Right now I'm probably looking back east, private schools in Alaska, and California. Oh, and Vanderbilt :/ That one's my mother's "fantastic" idea, haha.
Eww, I still have to do homework. So I will.
You should think about staying overnight -- that way you really get the idea of the whole college life that you'd have someplace. Campure tour + sitting in on a class + interview + eating there + sleeping there is, in my opinion, the best judge.
ReplyDeleteBTW, did you see the call for anyone attending the Olympics to contact the Times? Might want to get on that??
ReplyDeleteOh no, I didn't!!! Thanks for the tip, C! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, I suppose you're right...*sigh*...
