OMG IT'S AN UPDATE!

[readingredhead]

So I haven't updated in a while, mostly because since econ's gotten out, I haven't been doing too much. Now, that's not a bad thing -- but I also haven't been doing some of the things that I wanted to get done. However, I did read Lord of the Flies and I just started Life of Pi this morning.

I can probably cover most of the happenings in my future by simply reading them off of the whiteboard that I keep on my bedroom door. there's al ist in the middle in red, of things I really need to focus on, which reads: college apps, laptop, driver's ed, scholarships.

The Stanford app is now online, so I want to start at least looking it over...since I'm applying early action there, it's gotta be in by November 1st. Also, I'm planning on buying a laptop, but I haven't really sat down to get it done yet. I just finished my online driver's ed course after almost a year of having been signed up, but now I have to wait for the certificate to come so that I can work on getting my permit. And as for scholarships, I got an account on Fastweb and realized how many there are out there, and how many I could potentially get. So I figure the sooner I start applying, the better. Even if it's just me scribbling out an essay in my free time, I write well enough that I've got a shot at most of the essay contests.

Also on the board, scrawled excitedly in blue, is the single word WICKED, underlined several times. It's in Orange County now, at OCPAT, but I hadn't managed to get tickets when they went on sale so I wasn't planning on going. However, it turns out that Rick's grandmother gets season tickets to OCPAT, and she didn't have anyone to drive her to see Wicked since Rick's parents are going out of town this weekend, so she gave us the tickets!!! We're seeing the matinee on Saturday; I'm really excited.

Also, MUN summer sessions have been going on for two weeks now; today's the third session. Tony's teaching, so it should be fun.

I went to Disneyland yesterday with Rick, which was good fun. Hurrah for season passes.

All of this has been interspersed with knitting and watching X-Files. After lunch, it might also involve some reading of fanfiction, purely for entertainment. Hope you all are having good summers.

And lastly, before I leave...
