Today was one of the most extreme turnarounds of thought I've had in my life. At crew I sculled- sculling is two oars, one in each hand, while sweeping is just one (I'm usually a starboard when I sweep, which means your oar goes out to the left). It was the third time I've sculled in my life, the second being last week and the first in August. In ( Read more... )

So today was WONDERFUL. It wasn't even really, I'm just so happy right now. After we did stepups we were going to run the hill and we're walking over and Malves and Alex just pop up from out of NOWHERE! (the train station) and it was a complete surprise and I've always wanted to be one of those people who sees someone they haven't in quite some ( Read more... )

it hit me this afternoon- in a month i will most likely know where i am going to college. THAT SCARES THE SHIT OUT OF ME. i have NO first choice, other than carleton, which i will be rejected from. or, if i don't know where i'm going, i will be frantically comparing aid packages and trying to decide. only three more months of high school... fucking ( Read more... )

that was a surprisingly successful party! i could not have asked for it to go better, except the ending. yeah, i am sorry i made you leave at almost four in the morning. but when you asked to sleep over, i did think you meant SLEEP and not stay up and be loud in my living room, and i tried to sleep, and i couldn't, and i have shit to do tomorrow, ( Read more... )

So apparently now I'm an 8.41 girl. Trying not to think about it. It will go down, if she'd only let me put it on fucking average 500 meter time instead of projected time. I can't do it that way ( Read more... )

HE called ME. we might keep in touch, slighty. it was adult, and civil, and i didn't cry, and maybe that was just what i needed. i feel so much relief.

I don't know which is more fucked up right now, crew or yearbook.

So it's February 28th. Aaron is leaving for Chile tomorrow. He won't be back for a year (because none of you know this already). I called him late Thursday night and he missed it but surprisingly called me right back- he was drunk, but not incredibly so, and it was the first time he ( Read more... )

and of course it's the day before break ends and i haven't started any work ( Read more... )

The last week has been Pennsylvania, crew, camp, Law and Order and the Olympics. I haven’t cracked a book- overdue library or school- this whole week and what, it’s Friday night?

Crew was ridiculous today. We did stepups on marble about a foot and a half off the ground- two minutes straight, one minute break, fifteen times. Rico originally said ( Read more... )

Today was the attack of the college mail. I got mail from Moravian, Clark, UMD (my official acceptance letter- for next spring), Mount Saint Mary College (I get mail from them at least once a week but I’m not applying), Indiana, and TWO letters each from Allegheny and Wooster, the first giving me $10,000/ year in merit and the latter $13,000. I ( Read more... )
