And then we watched The Red Violin. What an incredible movie!
AND Mr. Zambon gave us tickets to hear Barack Obama speak on Sunday!! I am SO excited. Then swing dancing, then no school on ( Read more... ) -
down at the old five-n-dine
I am a certified idiot. I got a letter from Brown in the mail yesterday- apparently I forgot to send them my ACT scores. It's not detrimental, though. They just said to send it now, but I still feel stupid for forgetting them in the first place. Hopefully it doesn't kill my already miniscule chances.
Swing was cancelled on Super Bowl Sunday- we ( Read more... ) -

Today we made scones for the AP study session. They are delicious and I had to restrain from eating them all.
No college news yet. It's aggravating.
AP tshirts are a go! They're only going to be $8!!!!! And Mrs. Hampton called me today about them I felt sooo cool. =P
Inivislbe Children people are def. coming on Feb 22nd! I am SO EXCITED. We made ( Read more... ) -

Gwen wants some lederhosen.
And I have a 98.1% in Hampton's class! Rejoice!
Le corbeau et le Renard is a wonderful thing to memorize in French. If you recite it really fast, it sounds like you know what you're talking about! We performed it in class, and then the yearbook photographer guy came into our classroom and Madame insisted we perform an ( Read more... ) -

Ah, 2007. The year of change. Graduation, college, and growing up. We began the new year well: I had a fantastic time at Marissa's New Year's party singing showtunes and hot tubbing and dancing to the Beatles ( Read more... ) -

48??? 48??!?!?!?!?!!
Portfolio day was good, educational, and slightly depressing. I found out that UCLA only accepted 48 students last year for 45 spots. 45. I'm not sure how many applied, but that's insane. I'm really nervous about that now. They looked at my portfolio, though, and basically picked out the five pieces that I should use for their application.

Mom and I went to yoga this morning. I totally found my Zen place or whatever it's called.
But now, the Zen has worn off and I'm stressing out. So much to do!!!! I keep second-guessing college choices and freaking out about all the stuff I have to do.
Gwen and I saw The Prestige yesterday. Best movie I've seen in I-can't-remember-how-long!! Go ( Read more... ) -

Senior art shows- it's a long way away, but Carolina and I want to do an Africa Awareness sort of thing. Dana, Marissa, and everyone has come up with the spectacular idea of trying to show Invisible Children to a larger audience, and we have this vision of the gallery at school filled with sort-of educational peices and the film projected on a wall ( Read more... )
