I got into UChicago.
I got into Duke.

Now to wait for Princeton and Columbia.

Bach's continuo pwns. I'm listening to BWV 147 (Herz und mund und tat und leben) and I wouldn't mind being a bass or cello player if I had to perform this. The parts are exciting to listen to so they must be fun to play, somewhat ( Read more... )

(A brief overview of lucid dreaming, in case you're wondering)

For a long while I've wanted to have what is known as a lucid dream -- that is, a dream in which I'm aware that I'm dreaming. I've tried it a couple of times before, but since I didn't really have anything else to do over the break I figured I'd try again. One of the steps to having a ( Read more... )

I transfer to a Catholic school because of my high GPA (who knew?). The first day I was there it rained and everything was gray.

I almost had a lucid dream. Unfortunately I messed it up three times. I'm still having very interesting dreams though.

I got a letter from Duke. Basically I've been accepted, so long as I don't screw up for the remainder of school. "My chances [of being accepted] are excellent," according to the letter. Even though this isn't my top school, I've heard from a college at long last ( Read more... )

For the past couple of nights I've been having weird dreams. On Tuesday I dreamed about snakes; a green and yellow one was loose in my house, and my family and I were trying to catch it. It wasn't poisonous (so we learned thanks to my brother's trusty snake manual) but it still bit me. Fortunately it was only a baby so I didn't get hurt ( Read more... )

It's about time I posted this. I sent this to my science teacher after a discussion we had in class on Thursday.

Ok, here's how it works...go to Google and type your name and then the rest of the question. Type the first thing that corresponds. These can get a little wild ( Read more... )
