Really not too bad; I can live with it. And my sister might end up in my art class, which is really cool.

I haven't been doing much that's actually productive, though I have started thinking through college applications. I realized I'm only sending out four -- one for Stanford (early action), one for the UCs (I'm applying to 3 of them but I only need the one app), one for Princeton, and one for Harvard.

And the last two are mostly for fun! Though if by some freak occurrence I didn't get into Stanford yet got into one of those, I'd go check it out at least. I'd definitely consider Princeton if I didn't get into Stanford or Berkeley. Granted, it seems unlikely that I'd get *in* to Princeton if I didn't make it to Stanford or Berkeley.

More or less, I'm applying to Harvard for fun -- because I can. As far as how much I'd like to go there, my college list looks like this, from most amazing to least amazing.

1. Stanford
2. UC Berkeley
3. Princeton
4. UCLA
5. Harvard
6. UCI (or whatever other UC I decide to apply to as a safety)

On a completely unrelated note, I've been knitting a lot lately.

And before I get completely sidetracked in a rambly sort of way, I think I'm gonna stop and watch some Prison Break on DVD.

Haha I sort of forgot how to knit. Can you re-teach me???

And yay for your college list! You're awesome, you know that? =)

No problem with the knitting; show up in MUN some day with needles and yarn -- goodness knows there won't be any *learning* going on in that class!

Haha great idea =D

Hey, you're in my old Spanish class! (AP?) Woo!

Heh, not AP because they changed the AP test so that now you're supposed to have 5 years of Spanish before you take it. So it's just IB -- I'm taking a standard level test in it at the end of the year.

Harvard.

-hugs you-

Aw, shucks. I don't even know that I really want to go there; I just figure that I owe it to myself to apply, ya know?

Yeah. I don't doubt you'll get in.

The UCs eh? I'm actually thinking about a few of those myself. If by some horrible, freak chance that neither of us ends up at Stanford, we might see each other at one of the UCs.

Schweet! Of all the UCs, I'll probably end up at Berkeley -- really near to Stanford, really near to San Fran, and with one of the best English departments in the state. Definitely the best English program in the public school system.

Is everyone doing early action to Stanford? This worries me.

I don't know about "everyone." I know I am, but most kids I know want to get the hell outta the state (most of my friends, at least).

PLEASE LEAVE YOUR STATE, SMART PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA.

No matter what any of us does, our chances of getting in to Stanford are still low. :-(
