<p>I can write a TASP-worthy essay in half an hour but i can’t even manage a ****ty SAT essay in 25 minutes 
bleh</p>
<p>Oh, don’t worry. Those SAT essays don’t mean a thing. The worst writer in the world can probably pull off a 12 using some contrived formula, whereas even a brilliant writer could get marked down for not adhering to the standard 5-paragraph essay. </p>
<p>Tako: I want to be a writer, too! 
My parents, I think, would thankfully support me in whatever I choose. On the other hand, they do try to dissuade me from pursuing an English lit major with the whole you’ll-be-poor-after-you-graduate-from-college lecture. (Usually I just sit passively and nod occasionally.) So basically it comes down to: “Yes, of course we want you to be happy…but also rich.” Haha</p>
<p>Oh, I don’t want to be a writer. Or at least not, like, for a career. I’d like to write in a book one day, though. :D</p>
<p>What I want to be is a high school lit teacher Hehe, you should know, you read my future plans essays! :D</p>
<p>Yep, indeed I did :)</p>
<p>congrats to everyone who have been admitted to a TASP, and to those who weren’t, don’t worry about it, its not all its cracked up to be.</p>
<p>Welllll, I don’t know about the last part of that statement. But we’ll see :)</p>
<p>Well it might go for Cornell. BUT Umich, damn its gonna be hot hot hot</p>
<p>It is. </p>
<p><em>Licks finger, touches butt, SIZZLE SIZZLE MOPITY DIZZLE</em></p>
<p>HAHAHAHA I’m weird. But still. UMicker pride!</p>
<p>Back from my hectic day! I’m so happy! oh and the sat II’s…ah whatever. I got an 800 on my practice math exam but i’m almost positive i didn’t get that on the real thing. =/ and lit…yeah…well…yeah</p>
<p>I only skimmed over this page but so far- my parents never really talk about college anymore. They know where i want to go so they’ve practically given up. They know i’m applying ED. So all they’re talking about now is how my dad almost set my house of fire while i was taking the sat’s. Note: When the label on your dryer says to clean the air pipe thingy at least a year, do it. Trust me.</p>
<p>edit: just read everything. Jenny- I say you should come and visit NYU. Only then will you get to see what the school is actually like 
(the village is amazing. They have the best french fry store (yes a whole store that only sells french fries) and some of my friends own a cupcake store there. Oh and they have the cuttest little coffee places.) and then while you’re there you should visit columbia as well (because you have to get the milkshakes at tom’s) and then you HAVE to come see spiderman 3 in IMAX. =P All of my friends saw it yesterday so they’re not willing to spend the money and the day just to go into the city and see it in 3D.</p>
<p>almost got 100 posts today
damn you SAT’s
stealing my life away</p>
<p>Lit’s the only SAT II I took (aside from Spanish w/ Listening just for kicks). It was pretty cool, though I came out of the room thinking I’d BOMBED. And not that whole “blahblah I’m so modest, I did AWESOME but I say I did badly / OMgomgomg I’m an attention who.re that REALLY gets awesome scores and just SAYS she did poorly blahblah”. I SERIOUSLY though I’d done HORRIBLY and I freaked out. I was so depressed that day. x.x I went to part of a MUN comp that turned out to be CRAP, then came home and slept the whole day away.</p>
<p>And go figure, when I got my scores, I got a 770. <em>faints</em> I was shocked. Bonafide “OH MY GOD, MOM! OHMIGAWDDDD” shocked.</p>
<p>Anyhoo. LMAO. “My mom asks me on a daily basis about you Aida. She wonders when I am going to meet you. I want to be like, when are you flying me to puerto rico?” Corey, your mom sounds pretty cool. XD Ask her! It couldn’t hurt! 
</p>
<p>"wow, how creepy, cor. your mommy knows aida? well, that’s okay, i think my mom went on the computer once and aida’s messages about *****es was on my facebook wall and my mom saw it. </p>
<p>but god, aida, come to michigan. for cereals."</p>
<p>YEAH. UM! I think your mom got a one-sided impression of me, Susan. FIX IT! FIX IT NOW! lmao. That was a very informative post about phalluses, ma’am. I’m sorry you had to delete it, partly :P</p>
<p>I WANT MEHNDI! ASLFNAIgnalgmaeg.</p>
<p>P.S. - Tako, I love your career choice. I’d like to be one when I’m old. When I’m young, I still have no idea what I’ll end up doing. I like SO MANY THINGS! It’d be cool to be in advertising, but it would also be great to do so many other things. XD </p>
<p>SERIOUSLY, if I could have one object from Harry Potter, I think I’d pick Hermione’s Time Turner. I’m such a nerd, I’d use it just like her–to take more classes! XD</p>
<p>LOL. i just realized CC censored p.enises. go figure.</p>
<p>Yeah man. IT IS A SUPER DIRTY WORD! DUH!</p>
<p>west side story was just on. wow is that a coincidence.</p>
<p>nate- it’s your fault. afterall i think part of signing that box included not revealing any info about the test or talking about your results to anyone before your scores come back. I have no clue about that i just remember hearing it a billion times.<br>
and yeah, it does eat your soul. I cracked up halfway through west side story because they were talking about how, in america, they can’t get anywhere. Well, they’re hispanic…hello? I wish i was in their shoes…minus the killing and the poverty.</p>
<p>Ah, well there are a bazillion things I’d like to do, but only a few that I could see myself doing for the rest of my life :)</p>
<p>AND AIDA. I went through the same thing with Bio SAT II a year and a half ago! I came out of it, telling myself that I could retake it, and that it didn’t matter, and that I really shouldn’t cancel my score because it was a waste of money. It was SO HARD AND I COULD HAVE SWORN I FAILED.</p>
<p>THEN A 770? I was just like W.T.F that’s amazing. </p>
<p>My journalism teacher wasn’t amazed by the fact that Adobe sent us free copies of Photoshop. We were disappointed. Oh well! I installed it and now I want InDesign and Dreamweaver and am somewhat angry at Adobe for not sending it. HAHA. Nahh, I love 'em (gives Adobe a hug)</p>
<p>Lol You get CS3 but no Indesign? Lol. Sorry but doesnt that sort of defeat the purpose of having CS3 for yearbook. Layout=Indesign</p>
<p>I got really close to being certified in Indesign so whenever I am in our schools Jroom I always help people out. I really wish I was in yearbook but I couldn’t because I didnt want to take Journalism 1 (what a waste of my time I already know all of that)</p>
<p>I know, seriously! </p>
<p>We need ways to fundraise for InDesign. Seven hundred bucks, grrr.</p>
