wowzahs!
Wow i completely didn't realize that i titled 2 of my last 3 blogs the same exact thing. I guess I'm not very creative.
its been awhile...
NOt like nows the time (i just had 2 midterms and still have 3 to go), but I felt like I had to blog. I've done many blog worthy things since my last blog, but my internet has been going on the fritz, lots of school work and yea. I've been stressed out of my mind after clicking away my applications at hmmm 11:59 on January 1st. (what they don't really tell you is that they accept apps after the deadline, one of my supplements was 4 minutes late, I would test it for you to see how late they can be, but hey, I don't want to mess with my future!) Well anyway, from some of my earlier applications I've heard back already. Yay. I'm in two fantastic schools that I would be lucky to attend (though I hope I don't have to because that would mean that I would have gotten into my #1 choice, yay!). In these few days of cramming and reflection for my midterm exams, and also looking back at old friends, I've made a realization, sometimes, you just have to press 'delete.'
Ok so there's this girl, and she and I were kind of friends a long time ago, but I though this gave us history, you know something to reflect on and reminisce. I make it a yearly thing to call her on her birthday which is right around the holidays so its really easy to remember. She then calls me on my birthday only 8 days later. So really, I do the hard part, and she just has to remember to do it a week later. This year, senior year, I figured, yea I should call her, It doesn't matter that we haven't hung out or talked in a while, I'm doing a FUCKING nice thing here! I get the generic answering machine of her cell, leave her a message, and hang up. 8 days later, no call. I guess I'm not surprised, but I was hopeful that she might want to talk about our future plans (in 4th grade we both planned on going to UNC together, i heard through the grapevine that she got into Elon). But whatever. Really. I just kind of want to move on (not that I was really hung up, but anyways) so I went to her facebook page, looked at it, then deleted it. I have one less friend, and now she does too. I don't really think i'm being over dramatic here, but I felt it was just something that had to be done. Obviously she didn't care about whatever friendship we used to have going trick-or-treating every year, I probably should have taken it as a sign when she wanted to go to someone else's house and 'break the tradition'. I also should have figured it when her mom would never let her sleep over at my house. Maybe she told her mom to never let her.
Whatever. If I have it my way, I'll be about 3,000 miles away next year. If I plan to do that I better study.
PEACE OUT

Get rich quick
I've been looking all over the internet for ways to make money without working (because I haven't heard back about my applications at two different retail stores, fuck the economy) Everything out there seems like a scam, or like it would take too long for it to reap any benefits. I have 10 college applications to pay for (which ends up being about 100 bucks apiece when you figure in all of the scores that I have to send off as well). It's also the holiday season and I have my big hungry eyes on a winter coat and a guitar. The coat is about 200 bucks and the guitar, if i find it for a deal, is 500. I'm not in debt yet, but I can't imagine the stress of it all if I get into my top school (50,000 easy per year).
If anyone has any tips on how to make money without having a job that isn't some pyramid scheme/scam, I'm all ears.
until next time,
JJ

its been a while
Sorry I haven't posted in about a month. I have been kind of preoccupied, but i don't really remember by what. Well, I have good news, I broke 700 on my Math level 1 and 2 subject tests (yay me!), I raised my ACT composite to a 31 (unless they super score it, then its a 33, I raised my science and math scores by 7 points EACH, but i let my reading score go down by 5, oops). I got a 650 on Chemistry, but I'm about to take that one again to hopefully break 700 on that too (cross your fingers!!). The loose strings of the soccer season were recently tied up, I got the letter that I probably didn't deserve, and I got put on the 'all academic team.' Then I got to hear about how great the team is going to be next year without me, and how their season will be so much tougher, and will yield greater rewards. Great, I knew that, but rubbing it in doesn't feel so great.
I have to finish filling out my college apps. Its hard to do mostly because filling them out is accepting the fact that things are about to change, and by filling them out and sending them in, what your future is going to be is put in the hands of admissions counselors. Will I go east coast or west coast? south or north? local or far away? Its all in their hands.
Oh and I recently saw LB the musical (my favorite movie by the way) and I loved it. Its not quite the same as on broadway (they had a taped version on MTV which I taped and i've watched several times ;p ) but they did what they could as a touring production. The sets were nowhere near as extravagant as on broadway, but that is certainly understandable, because it has to be able to travel. One of the things that I hate about seeing broadway tours is that the theatres that they perform in are so huge that you can barely see the people on the stage (and I sit in the mezzanine, not even the balcony) and its distracting having to squint and try and look harder and not be able to. They had to change a few details around because of sets and logistics but it was a wonderful production nonetheless with several original cast members (yes... I follow things like this). Although I was already going to try out for our school's winter musical, seeing live musical theatre always makes me want to do it even more.
Well this was quite a novel...
