Mar. 28th, 2003 02:52 pmWell, I feel really stupid. I got the Berkeley scholarship info a few weeks ago and like an idiot didn't do anything with it until it was too late. And now I'm not a regent's scholar or anything, which would definitely help with school. At least they said I got financial aid. I was checking the site and it didn't mention anything and I remembered the stupid packet. I feel like a total idiot. I'm not going to tell Mom directly since that's the quickest way to some variety of fight. If she asks, I'll tell her. Not before.

Mar. 28th, 2003 06:35 pmWell, new look. I was sick of screaming red and yellow. And this goes with my daffodil icon. So cool.
This afternoon I typed up a whole rant about Iraq etc. partly to distract myself, didn't save, left the computer alone and let it go to sleep, and got out of my bath to find that my entry was gone. So :P.
U2, "Peace on Earth"
They say that what you mock
Will surely overtake you
And you become a monster
So the monster will not break you
And it's already gone too far
Who said that if you go in hard
You won't get hurt
Probably a good thing that I couldn't find my CD. It'd depress me more. I didn't read the paper; with a headline proclaiming "War in Fits, Starts" I figured there was really nothing more; probably a little bit of wondering why the Iraqis aren't welcoming us with open arms and liberation parades like the eminently knowledgeable folks in the administration predicted.
So I was trying to, in my own way, avoid summarizing the last few days' life. It's draining. I really felt dead today; it was not fun. And I didn't even go to zero (though Becky said the worksheets were easier than usual; that means I can probably finish them in about 5 minutes). Akira in AcaDec was interesting but strangely enough rather slow, despite the blood, missing body parts, and bikes. I guess it's my whole thing about pointless action scenes coupled with the whole sleep deprivation issue. English sucked because we had a quote test, which wasn't actually that hard but still sucked to do when I was tired. And then I got to go home. The paper came out today; deadline wasn't frantic but it was late. And the paper looks good; no typos in headlines, and kick-butt photos. And solid coverage, generally. I'm glad to have it done. And I'm glad that there's one more week of chem before I get spring break. Yay, yay. Traffic sucked. I had to sit through 5 light changes before I could get through an intersection. It's not usually that bad. Though I'm not having much progress (well, maybe some) on my unknown. Gah. Oh, well, it's the weekend. And the long hot soaky bath was nice. Very nice.

College, and silliness for scholarships.
Mar. 28th, 2003 11:38 pmWell. I'm in to Harvey. ;-D I'm glad. I'm not as hyper as I was when Carleton said yes, but that's probably largely due to the fact that today I didn't get a huge relief of pain. And I got the $5000 scholarship, the merit one. I was hoping, but since I didn't get the other I wasn't sure... but I did. And it'll help. Now I just have to decide where I want to go. Which will be difficult. I'm just waiting for Santa Clara's response, but they're second to Davis (I think) in ease of getting in among the schools I applied to. Maybe 60-70% acceptance. And fewer people who apply, since it's both private and religious. Oh well, I'll hear soon.
Mom and I went out to this nice Italian place on Rosecrans with great rosemary bread and a yummy caramel baked apple dessert. It was good. I've discovered that a) I like dinners at nice restaurants with plenty of time to linger and b) I've come to expect wine with these nice dinners. Pooh. I was spoiled this summer. Mom wouldn't let me have any, even though the waiter was asking both of us what we wanted to drink. :) I'm so spoiled. My aunt would sympathise.
She also restarted bugging me about scholarships, which I'm being stupid about and not applying for. She wants an "action plan" tomorrow. And a draft of one. I swear I'll do it. I'll just complain like no one's business. Gr.
