Yes, me is gonna be a kooledge stoodunt.

So right now I am awash in college app stuff. I really hate it. I have deadlines out the wazoo and I really want to get into one of my schools. My number one choice is Duke, then Wash U. You can decide which one is a safety school, because they're both pretty good. My real safety schools are SLU and Hillsdale College in Michigan. I am actually above the middle fifty percent with my grades and such, so I expect to get into those two. My safety safety school is Mizzou, and if I don't get in there I will cry. My complete wild card-just to say I got in there-school is NYU. But like I said, I just want to say I got in. It would take a fantastic financial aid package for that to happen, but if I got to that would be pretty awesome. So I spend this week fretting over my Mizzou and SLU stuff, then I have until January 1 for my NYU stuff. Finally, I have until January 15 to finish Wash U. However, by that time I will be completely subdued by financial aid apps. Those will be worse than anything else I have had to so far. Its a mess, and I hope it works out. If you wonder what my motivation for getting through all of this is, I've got two words: Community College. I refuse. I'm going to real college, thank you very much.
