wave goodbye, wish me well

SAT results come out Thursday (I am dying of anticipation) and we have two and a half weeks of school left. I'm freaking out about bio and alg. 2. Well, I should be freaking out more than I am. My two major classes (major as in my major, not as in large or big problem--far from it)....one is done with and I'm pretty sure I did good (probably a B), and I have one paper left for the second, which I'm starting this week because I swear, I am not doing another paper the night before it is due. (Just wait.....this is me)

I'm failing Bio and Alg 2. But again, I'm working. I've never failed a class yet, and you better believe I am not starting now.

English and History are good, all things considered, I should come out with A's.

And dance...heh....I need to do a ton of make-ups. But I will.

My other accomplishment of the semester (or, I guess, year) is I spent a year in the Political Science Club (never mind I did nothing but show up, basically, but shhh) and am now VP (and I plan to do a lot more than just show up). And am relishing the title "Madame Vice President". Which several have used in adressing me of late.

Tomorrow, after school, I have an interview at our House representatives office. I'm (fingers crossed) going to be interning in his office this summer. :-)

So, overall, I'm proud of myself. I mean, obviously, this could all fall apart in the next 3 weeks. Or 3 minutes. But, for me, the overbearing perfectionist (at least on myself, I could care less about others) its nice to not completely fail.

Colleges of the Week (LOL, yes, its come to this; though after Thursday this list might change to CSUN and SDSU :D) : Yale (CT), Brown (Rhode Island), Wellesly (MA), George Washington (I like it more than American right now), Barnard (in NY), and Tufts (MA). Yes, two of those are women's colleges. But, they're both next door to a lot of other colleges and have amazing programs and have a lot of plusses. So. Yeah.

Yale and Brown are Ivy's. Tufts is an almost Ivy...but it seems (from a short perusal of their website) perfect for me. Wellesly is awesome academically, and I fit on the lower end of their acceptances (always a +), I love the location, and I'm beginning to 'get' the whole women's college thing. George Washington is better than American and its likely I'd get in. Barnard is something I'm unsure on. Nothing about them wow's me.

So yeah.
