<p>HI FRIENDs :D</p>
<p>Ay yo guh.</p>
<p>I just realized that when Glee comes back I’ll know where I’m going to college. Oh my god.</p>
<p>Well geez. I emailed my NU interviewer a couple weeks ago about scheduling something, but I never got a reply, so I sent a follow-up last week and now chick’s all “I sent you an email a few weeks ago but you never answered [read: get a better firewall, trick]; I have your interview scheduled for Saturday, Jan 30 at x time at [place in Nashville]. Please confirm [read: flake, you should’ve done this weeks ago]”</p>
<p>And I can’t go unless my mom takes off work because I’m still not allowed to drive to Nashville by myself. And if I go I know interviewer lady is going to be all “Hmm, your credentials are so-so, and you suck at following up on email. Fail.” I want to punch something.</p>
<p>I hate it when people don’t read their emails. This is probably just me being a perfectionist, but I have to open every single email unless I’m confident that it’s something stupid. Besides, checking email is a great procrastination technique.</p>
<p>I applied to 11 schools. FAFSA only has 10 spaces. Dang. Now I have to to this all complicatedly.</p>
<p>MY EFC IS $37,000 I’M GOING TO JUMP OFF A BRIDGE I’M GOING TO UT KNOX I CAN’T TAKE THIS I WANT TO DIE</p>
<p>no.</p>
<p>You are so ridiculous.</p>
<p>YOU DON’T KNOW THE SHIP WILL SINK UNTIL IT DOES (OR UNTIL KATE WINSLET AND LEONARDO DICAPRIO SET FOOT ON BOARD).</p>
<p>I like being ridiculous. It’s fun. The FAFSA is stressing me out in other ways, though.</p>
<p>I miss Conan. And that’s what sets me apart from the hipsters, I’m out of cynicism.</p>
<p>The FAFSA is rather awful. What I really don’t like is that I have to fill out the CSS Profile every year, and it costs every year. Stupid.</p>
<p>At least I’m done with the CSS. God. And I have to correct a bunch of stuff on my FAFSA and then send it to my 11th school, ew.</p>
<p>The storm of the century is supposed to begin in like 10 minutes. I hear birds outside. I wonder who will win.</p>
<p>Two more months.</p>
<p>The borders of the Arctic Circle were pushed south this year.</p>
<p>Maybe 3 inches of snow. The southern United States has shut down.</p>
<p>Daisy Miller is so much better than Turn of the Screw.</p>
<p>I am so much like Jay Gatsby, it’s almost unreal. Except that the green light is blue, and hails from New Haven. And perhaps isn’t quite so unattainable. (?)</p>
<p>■■■.</p>
<p>In other news, Mr. Salinger died. Perhaps now’s a good opportunity to read Franny and Zooey.</p>
<p>The 20s are cool now, so we’re right on point. Who’s your Daisy?</p>
<p>Big phony in the sky.</p>
<p>My friend told me that I am Holden Caulfield. I wasn’t really sure what to say to that.</p>
<p>■■■■■■. But I also love you then. Because you know the phonies. Hmm. It runs like a metaphysical metaphor, deep.</p>
<p>I’m back to making no sense.</p>

<p>I read that yesterday. It was kind of perfect. </p>
<p>I may not like Dave Eggers but I sure do write like him. I should’ve been a disaffected Gen Xer, I do it so well. Ugh.</p>
<p>I JUST HAD A SURPRISE COLLEGE INTERVIEW. HOW THE EFF DOES THAT HAPPEN. I’M PRETTY SURE I SOUNDED LIKE A PRETENTIOUS DILLWEED.</p>
<p>Writing in all caps makes me feel better, but still. A surprise interview! A freaking surprise! She just called! I bet I sounded like a pretentious dillweed.</p>
<p>I have a Brown interview next week and a Princeton interview on Friday.</p>
<p>I don’t like school, applying to college, and most aspects of life in general.</p>
