So France was basically amazing. As in, the greatest experience of my life.
I saw:
-the Arc de Triomphe
-the Eiffel Tower
-the Rodin museum (the Thinker, the Gates of hell, the kiss)
-the Dome des Invalides (Napoleon's tomb)
-Notre Dame
-a real live French open-air market
-the Louvre (but basically only WInged Victory, Venus de Milo, the Mona Lisa, some ( Read more... )

France in TWO DAYS.  I am so incredibly excited. (And I'm stealing my brothers camera since it has more megapixels.)

I got into Brown!!! Ah!! 
But they only give me $3000 which is kind of disappointing.  But still, Brown!!!
And Yale rejected me (which they will regret when I am the president...) 
AHHH!!!
Brown!!!

So I got into Johns Hopkins (I checked my e-mail seconds after you left, David) which is YAY!  But they are giving me zero money, which means I'm not really that excited.  It also means that I'm going to BU, because I strongly doubt that any school is going to give me money.  (Although I haven't gotten financial aid info from Brandeis, or Dartmouth ( Read more... )

So I am going to college somewhere other than UVM for definitely sure.  Because Boston University decided to be really really nice and make me a Trustee Scholar, which is a free ride.  I am incredibly excited, especially because I wasn't even expecting a letter, and I really wasn't expecting to get the scholarship, because I think my essay for it ( Read more... )

I hate being sick so so much.  Mostly because it is yucky but also the fact that I have to miss school.  I hate making up schoolwork and falling behind in Calculus because I am probably failing, plus Mrs. Tally said that we were learning some big important thing today.  I went to bed last night at 8:30, slept until 5:30, and then my mother forebade ( Read more... )

Today was an interesting day. Mrs. Raiford lectured our class on not missing study sessions before the AP Bio test, and how in the two weeks prior to the test, we better be at every single one ( Read more... )

So.  I got into Bowdoin, which is on the face of it, is very exciting, even after getting into Dartmouth.  Less exciting is that they are giving me no money.  None.  Zero dollars.  Now before you go thinking I'm super rich, realize that my father owns his own business and for that reason they probably think we can actually afford to pay $40,000 a ( Read more... )

I love this.

That's it.

So, on Tuesday, I got a letter from Dartmouth.  Basically saying I will be officially accepted at the end of March, when they send out the real admission letters, and that they're telling me now in an effort to ease my mind.  I'm actually really really excited.  Also, I got my Early Evaluation letter from Wellesley, and I'll likely be admitted at ( Read more... )
