Happy Halloween!

Why am I here instead of finishing my UNC application? I dunno...

Happy Halloween to the people that have time! God bless you! ;)

Procrastination is the Devil

It really is. I've been procrastinating sooo much this year. In fact, I seem to procrastinate more and more as the years go by. If I keep up at this rate, I'll have nothing done as the days slip by when I'm in my mid twenties.

I dunno. The sad thing is...I don't know how to get out of this habit. Because at the last minute, I manage to get everything done, and I end up doing fairly well too. This does not help. I don't learn from my mistake.

Hence...Procrastination is the Devil. I am stuck with my stupid ways. Someone help me... =(

Edit: I am done with my paper for English. It was over the essay "Lenses" from Teaching a Stone to Talk, by Annie Dillard which is one of the most pointless books I've ever read. I really don't understand why our teacher chose this book to be one of our possibilities for the IB orals. Uggh.

College Applications

So my college list keeps growing. Just when I start to feel confident about that application I just sent in, I think twice and apply somewhere else where I feel I'm sure to get in. Impulsive applying...? So here are my 6 picks.

1. University of Florida
2. Florida State University
3. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
4. University of Maryland
5. University of Tulsa
6. Hendrix College
7. Austin College

I'm completely finished with the application process for choices 1 and 2. The others still have part II of their Applications to be completed.

And of course my SAT score from the October test has been delayed. Leave it to me to switch my answers for Sections 6 and 7. So it'll take longer for me to get my results back. Go me.

There is just an overwhelming amount of stuff to complete for IB and right now, I know I'm not helping the situation by procrastinating. I think I like working under the stress I create. -_-

The streak of cold has been broken today. It's actually chillier inside the casa than it is outside. I wish I could be outside right now taking pictures. I really really want to work on my photography. I want to get a good starter camera and just get out there and work at it. But yeah, there's this nightmare called IB...

And so the journey begins...

I think that writing my thoughts out will be beneficial as opposed to keeping everything bottled in. Writing things out has worked in the past, why can't it work now? :) So a hearty hello to the blog world!

We went to Chamber Stream last week. I was delighted to find little treasures scattered around that everyone else pretty much missed.

I really want to take photography classes in college. This is the one form of art that I can truly connect with. I might not be good at it, but it helps me vent. As weird as that sounds.

So I've applied at UF and FSU so far. I'm really hoping things work out. Being a Gator sounds t-riffic. I have my fingers crossed. I guess all I can do now is sit and wait. Well...I dunno about that. There's too much IB workload to just sit around and laze away the day.

I get my SAT results online tonight at...midnight. I cannot wait. That studying better have paid off!

Senior pictures were today. Not fun. I hope I never have to wear one of those nasty shoulder drapes again. Classy my butt. Why do they want us to all look uniform anyways?

So alright, enough for my first "blog" even though I said next to nothing. :)
