Woo! Free blog!
I have no idea what to say... I guess whatever is current for me?
So not much has been going on. Things are starting to relax more, I have all my college apps in FAFSA is in to all the schools, I got accepted to three already, (Radford, Rutgers and Suffolk). I'm just waiting to hear back from the other eleven.
My extended essay is due in exactly one week. My bio extended essay was TOO much like a science paper (how can a science paper have too much science?) so I have to ramble about my personal feelings toward the topic for about a thousand words somewhere.
I have a bunch of stuff scheduled, including some orthognathic surgery in the first week of March, so that'll be fun. No eating solid food for over a month. The plus side is that afterward I'll be able to eat like a normal human being. I can't wait to find out what that's like. :) Oh to never be embarrassed to eat a sandwich in public again! Additionally I will no longer be required to talk in front of class as my mouth shall be wired shut. This is one medical procedure that's not having me breaking down constantly, the benefits are too good. It's possible I'll have an anxiety attack when they start trying to knock me out, but I feel pretty comfortable with this one. :D
Finally I'm going to Hawaii on the 16th of February for a week. I'm excited, we're going to go surfing and snorkeling and climbing and I shall try not to get second degree burns the day before coming back. I am secretly hoping to possibly run into my grandma while we're there. However, the chances are slim as she lives on a different island.
The Hawaii trip happens to be with the Surf Club at my school, I'm excited but not as excited as I've been for the last couple trips. I'm the only one who has been on the trip previously, and ever other trip I've been on had between four to eight students on it, all of whom were older than me. I am now a senior surrounded by a sea of twenty-eight freshmen and sophomores. This is going to be a very hectic and restricted trip. When you travel with a small group say, four students total, you have a lot of free room and opportunities. When you travel with twenty-eight people, lots of whom have not been on these sorts of trips, I can't see much of that freedom.
But hey, Hawaii, can't complain. I could be stuck in dismally cold and wet New England whether, but I'm going to sunny Hawaii, I'm not going to let the size of the group bring any of that awesome down. Besides, the more people they get to go on these trips, ensures the continuity of the club, I honestly thought I was going to be the last member until this year's spontaneous augmentation of members.
Anyways, that's all that up with me lately, I didn't really know what to post about. I think next time we do a free blog, I shall talk about cupcakes, I've been making quite a lot lately.
Congratulations on getting accepted in to uni and good luck with the rest! I think you might also be getting the same surgery my friend got, I'm not sure, she had an underbite so they had to cut her jaw bone and move it back, she had her mouth wired shut for a while as well. She can eat like a normal person too now. Good luck with the surgery even though it's a while away. And Hawaii, I'm very jealous, I would love to go!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your EE! That seems really odd that it would have too much science, but I guess that's probably a better problem to have than if you didn't include enough science.
ReplyDeleteAnd a trip to Hawaii sounds like so much fun, even if it will be more restricted. I hope you have a fantastic time!
