I decided to go to Binghamton. Considering the amount we have saved for college, I couldn't afford to pass up an 11,000 dollar a year education. But even though the financial part was a big factor, I'm still happy about it. Their political science program is highly rated nationaly, and they have way higher than average law school admission rates ( Read more... )

I want a sweatshirt. A sweatshirt with my college's name in big letters to show the world that I know where I'm going. I love my friends and my school, but I really need a change. I find myself reading plenty of academic material, just not the material I'm assigned. I bought two books on globalizaiton and have been reading every magazine I can ( Read more... )

I possibly got a 48 thousand (12 a year) scholarship offer from Clark, but it isn't a sure thing. I'm going to go to presidential scholars day next weekend, do the interview, and hope for the best! Anna, you might already be on ( Read more... )

These last two weeks have been really stressful. But I just got some good news. I got my first college acceptance letter!! Even though it was for my safty, UB, and I don't really want to go there it still feels really good. I think everyone gets freaked out that they will not get in anywhere, and now I don't have to worry about that. Now if I ( Read more... )

Lately I've been having this weird feeling that is somewhere between nostolgia and hope. I think it is all Mr. Noto's fault, with all the talk in econ about how much debt our country is in, and how much of a strain on the economy it will be when the baby boomers retire, and all the inequitys of our education system. I just miss the 90's even ( Read more... )

I'm also seriously stressed out about school...I have a 10 page econ paper due next wendsay (which I have barely started), a midterm tommarow, and a math grade that I'm not exactaly proud of.
