So I heard back from WashU... didn't get the scholarship there I wanted. Made for kind of a rough night. I don't know how hopeful I still am... I don't see how I'm ever going to have the money to go there. People think that you just have to be smart, but you don't, you have to be smart and rich. Wait and see, wait and see. I hate the wait and see ( Read more... ) -
What a wonderful day...
One of the best birthdays I've ever had (and I'm exhausted). And this is only the start of the weekend.

I'm done - THAT'S IT!
It's Thursday night, yes, that's right, tutoring night. I got there promptly at 6:30 and a man opens the door - for a brief second I wondered if I had the wrong house. He gave me a strange look and I offered, "I'm here for tutoring..." You know what he tells me? They're not there! They're off grocery shopping! And this guy - he must have been the ( Read more... ) -
More tutoring woes
It isn't even Thursday yet! I went to the bank today to cash the check she paid me in almost two weeks ago (and I'm not feeling too bad about waiting so long). But when I handed it to the teller, do you know what she told me? "I can't cash this check; it's not made out to you - and it's not dated." Those lines on the check are blank! You don't just ( Read more... ) -
Sleep...
I don't understand how I can regularly get 8 hours of sleep in a night, roughly 10-6, have no difficulty falling asleep, sleep well, and still feel tired. Argh it doesn't make sense!

Happy birthday, Oromin!
Labor Day weekend has been really rather uneventful. From my perspective and with my school schedule, it and Memorial Day have to be the most worthlessly timed holidays on the calendar. With the first, I have been in school all of seven days and do not in any way, shape, or form need a break, and in fact rather resented it ( Read more... ) -
Farewell to summer
Well, it's my last evening of freedom... the last day of summer. Back to school tomorrow. Oh, my... I guess that I've been ready for the past couple days - I've been getting bored sitting around the house and having little else to do than read (I love to read, but too much of a good thing... currently I'm working on "The Stand" by Stephen King ( Read more... ) -
Randomness

Musings
I honestly don't miss soccer, and I'm still quite happy with my decision to quit (especially after I heard that they've been starting practice at 6 in the morning and running between 2 and 5 miles each day. Ha!) It wouldn't be worth the effort. However, I do miss being outside and being active and fit. Not that I can't do those things anyway, but I ( Read more... ) -

I got my book back.
