Break turned out to be busier than I thought it would be (as always) and things are finally slowing down (riiight...).

I did finish the next part of my Wicked fanfic (GO ME!), albeit it's on the short side.

I went to DCA on Tuesday and it wasn't super crowded but I'm sure Dland sure was. It was fun chillin' with my cousins and aunt and uncle. I got ( Read more... )

ALL CA SCHOOL APPS ARE DONE!!!! WOO HOO!!! So the hardest part was the personal statement. Ugh. It just took the longest and was super cheesy. :/ Also the grand total is *drumroll* .... $345 (CalState and UC, $180, fees combined) YIKES! I just happy that's over with, but now I start the East Coast schools. Ay yah!

I still have to submit my UC app and my apps for NYU, Boston University, Emerson, and George Mason. *death* I plan to finish ALL my apps this week so that I can focus on scholarships. YAY!

So.... "Twilight" came out today, well, at midnight last night. I'm really dreading everyone gushing about it as school. I don't necessarily hate the series, but I get tired of always hearing about it. I finally conceded and read the first book last month and I am neither in love or hate with it, though it does go on my short list of books I've had ( Read more... )

SQUEE!!!! I've been waiting for this album ever since January! If you don't have it, GO BUY IT NOW! If you have no clue who Scott Alan is, GO CHECK HIM OUT ON YOUTUBE NOW! lol. Seriously, that man puts out quality songs and enlists top-notch singers. My favorite song is definitely "West" sung by Julia Murney.
