<p>"you should come to Dartmouth
that way I wont have to move "</p>
<p>lazy</p>
<p>my school has been crazy lately with the whole "meeting people online thing. major lectures about myspace and serial killer pedophiles.</p>
<p>My school had a freak-out earlier in the year; thank god that’s over now. =/</p>
<p>Elections just ended. Dear god, that was way intense…I’m so glad I didn’t run for anything.</p>
<p>So…anyone think we’ll get to page 500 by the time decisions roll around?</p>
<p>we’ve done it once before (100 pages in a few days) so maybe we can. once decisions roll around though i’m off this site for awile. I’ll leave you all to bask in your glory.</p>
<p>I have to admit it: I AM A SERIAL KILLER PSYCHO MYSPACE PEDOPHILE.</p>
<p>Yeah.</p>
<p>“Gaaaah I’m in a quandry. My school only lets us take 4 APs max and if you take 4 you can’t take any other classes but I’ve been reccomended for five total! And next year there’s going to be an elective on questing I HAVE to take as a person, you know? Plus I have to finish my spanish requirements. God. ._.; I don’t know how I’m going to make this work out, because I want to take all these classes.”</p>
<p>My suggestions:</p>
<p>Fulfill a Spanish requirement, take one AP you love and would excel in, take one AP of a class you’d REALLY like to get credit for in college, take the elective, and take whatever other AP you want. You don’t need to have a zillion APs for college, kids. Seriously.</p>
<p>Is anyone except me reading their essays over and over trying to get one small pint of confidence? lol</p>
<p>Haha…no, sorry Celita. I’m avoiding them at all costs.</p>
<p>Does anyone feel as though the whole letting-us-know-whether-we-get-in-or-most-likely-don’t thing is wayyyy too drawn out and painful?</p>
<p>I’ve been fairly successful in avoiding my essays…but it is the interview constantly replaying in my mind that is driving me NUTS.</p>
<p>3 more days!</p>
<p>er…more like 4 or 5 
(today, friday, saturday, sunday, monday/tuesday-- since no one seems to really know)</p>
<p>i swear this waiting period we’re having to endure could easily be used as torture. no. wait. it is torture. how could i forget?!</p>
<p>that conjured up an interesting thought - would you rather have the waiting period with the deliberation of the full committee or would you rather hear your decision 2 days later from the panel of 3 people who interviewed you (this is assuming everyone’s given a panel of 3 + they took notes during the interview and evaluated those in conjunction with your essays)?</p>
<p>Ahhh Elections. Im running for class president.</p>
<p>3rd year in a row
8th grade: Disqualified for having a myspace at age 13.
9th grade: Lost in primaries-- ridiculous as they didn’t recount after this kid who despises me rigged the election
This year: I’m going to WIN!!!</p>
<p>I’m crazy campaigning.</p>
<p>We are allowed 1 big mural poster for the front of school so what im doing is writing:</p>
<p>Class of 2009 To Do List:
esoihereorgf -Shanna S.
oierhfreuhiuftgojoi- Ketaki L.
and so on…
Is My To Do List!
Corey Rateau
4 Junior Class President</p>
<p>Then for flyers Im not sure what to do. Last year I had really cool ones, the best ones… but I need to out do myself this year</p>
<p>Aida, you sound like such an interesting person, I guess I would still meet you face-to-face for the discussion before/during/after the rape (whenever you feel comfortable).</p>
<p>6 AP’s at my school is not unheard of Lauren; there are two other juniors besides me taking this load (and they’re twins! it’s pretty crazy). I took AP’s because I LOVE the courses (plus the challenge and the classroom atmosphere, i.e. teachers teach you things once, students want to get things done…) and I want to explore as many of my interests as I can while I still have time and costs aren’t through the roof. Take courses that interest you and challenge you and you’ll have an awesome year (from my experience). =) my two cents on course selection and AP’s.</p>
<p>Jenny–EIC & VP, sounds like a 48 hour committment/day! I think you would make an awesome VP though. If you can handle it, do it! Jenny for VP woooo! Sounds just UBER to me =)</p>
<p>Sid–I’ll take committee, two days is a helluvalota agony!</p>
<p>Well each of the APs is a class that I <em>want</em> to take; I don’t really excel at stuff I hate. Like Spanish. >_>;</p>
<p>On the topic of APs</p>
<p>So its basically required to take 4 years of the same language. But for me, since I take Japanese, It is required you take an AP Japaneses course.</p>
<p>Before it was 2 years of Jap3/4 (rotating curriculum) But now its just messed. Japanese is the hardest level at the high school and taking AP is ridiculous + my teacher is evil and the class is impossible for all. She keeps saying you guys are level 2 student, you should know how to conjugate and speak fluent. W TF is that.</p>
<p>omg… u kno what i discovered… theres a waiting list for tasp, which means on monday or tuesday you might not get a definitive answer, leaving you in a state of paralyzed limbo. question: to be on the waiting list, or not to be on the waiting list.</p>
<p>I don’t think i could stand further teasing from tasp. </p>
<p>These last few days are crawling by.</p>
<p>Waiting lists are a cruel form of rejection that dangle slim hope before you in order to be polite.</p>
<p>I would want to be on the waiting list…wait, no I wouldn’t. I don’t know :(</p>
<p>Hey west coasters! Let’s meet at Stanford one weekend 
And chill :D</p>
<p>On a side note, today was absolutely the most miserable day of my life, and I LOVE IT. :D</p>
<p>So like, first of all, I failed my chem final. It was not a matter of needing to study more, it was just like…only chem geniuses could have answered more than half the questions. Hoping for a large curve, might get a B in this class 
and that SUCKS.</p>
<p>Then during 3rd, my math teacher frickin accuses me of cheating. He handed back our quizzes, and I go up to him and say, I think you might have made a mistake and graded by number 3 wrong (like, I got the right answer). Unfortunately, that problem happened to be one I stumbled lots on, meaning there were loads of erasure marks. So of course, he assumes that I erased the wrong answer and put the right one, and tells me to “stop playing tricks with him.” I vehemently deny it, show him my work, he doesn’t listen so I’m just like, whatever it’s one point, forget about him.</p>
<p>I am extremely upset at this point.</p>
<p>Then I had my track meet, where I did absolutely miserably. I don’t want to comment further.</p>
<p>So today sucked.</p>
<p>HOWEVER. I already told Kathy_violin this…whenever I am absolutely miserable I feel that good things must happen soon to make up for it…and there’s really only one good thing I currently want :P</p>
<p>Wow your deep belief in karma and your chi is bewildering. :-P</p>
<p>Tako: You and I are the only 2 on here who have ever met :-)</p>
<p>I know, aren’t I strange? But it manages to keep me going in life…otherwise, I would have given up YEARS ago.</p>
<p>And it’s hecka cool that we have met, Corey. Ahhhh :)</p>
