Tis the Season

I feel like Christmas just sort of sprung up on me like "Boo! HO HO HO"

I was so surprised that I had to quickly order my friend's present online for our secret santa get together thing this weekend. I hope it gets here in time or else they'll probably beat me.

I have things I want to send out through the mail but I feel like I won't even have time to do it till after christmas, so that makes me feel a little bad. But, better late than ever right?

Vincent lost his present the DAY after he got it in the mail last year. It was a pretty big bummer, so this year, i'm going to send him another one. good thing he doesn't read this blog. teehee :)

So, how much do we love snow days guys? It's one of the best feelings ever. Waking up miserable only to find out you don't even have to go to school so you just curl up in your blankets, go back to sleep, and wake up at the time you're supposed to get out of school. Then, you go frolick in the snow. bliss.

Lately, I've been receiving acceptances and it's actually quite exciting! I got a call today from the dean at Bridgewater college/university and he told me that I got the largest scholarship package out of the applicants this year (which is really...kind of sad, for bridgewater anyway).
At first i was pretty ecstatic, i mean 25 grand is a lot of money you know? but then when i really thought about it, I really have no intention of going there. So it's kind of a waste for them to put aside that money for me. I was going to tell him that but then my mom was like "No no no, keep it as a back up. money money money"
She's a nut.

And I don't really want to go to drexel either (although 22 grand is also quite a plus). Nor do i want to go to Washington and Jefferson University.

When am I going to get accepted to somewhere that's NOT a backup!?

Probably (or maybe not) in may. ugh. Taylor tracey's been accepted into THIRTEEN schools already. It's pretty freakin ridiculous. I stare at that list in the hallway pretty much every day because i'm an obsessed looney.

School's stressful. I feel old. But, good things are to come :)
Good things are always to come.

For example, i'm expecting something from Felili in the mail! So exciting.

Just like my sorbet in the freezer. :D!

Research Paper

So...I should be doing my 10+ page research paper right now, especially considering I have zero pages done and have just been religiously reading my research instead of actually writing the paper. BUT, now that the newstation has announced that all public schools are closed tomorrow, I can't help but take a break and rejoice :D

And what better to do than blog? teehee.

I really don't have too much to say though, which is kind of making me reconsider this post. But, since i'm already more than 30 words in, I might as well finish.

So Patrick is apparently in seattle today! How lucky is felicia? FREAKIN LUCKY! Gosh, not that many people come to philly. Well...there was kevin and kyle and Karen...WOAH. Notice all their names start with K! Oh wow. okay. cool. Rebekah, I wished your name started with a k!

I've been accepted to college guys. It's time to celebrate. But, I also kind of wished I wasn't accepted yet because now I feel so safe and secure that I don't feel like finishing my other apps! That would be positively horrible ugh.

I know I'm kind of just babbling about random things but just bear with me, I'm trying to get out a decent post!

I found this watermelon chapstick in an old backpack and found out that the chapstick expired in 2003! How cool is that!? It means I bought it before the 6th grade. That's some old chapstick. I want to keep it until I die. :)

On a more exciting note, I filled out my OCAC application and I'm pretty much ready to send it out. I can't wait. This is my third time so I feel like this old OCAC veteran. haha. Rebekah, you better be going or else I just might cry. Really.

CHRISTMAS IS ALMOST HERE! I'm really sorry that I'm barely getting anyone presents this year but my budget really can't take another blow. :(
I love you guys though :) (not including the strangers who are reading this)

Anyways, this post is pretty much done. I don't have many meaningful things to say. Sorry.

On a parting note, I'm looking for my eucalyptus tree guys.!

Let's Be Happy

Dear friend,

I didn't appreciate you smacking me in the face at lunch today. You looked pretty angry, so I thought maybe I did something wrong. But, then you played it off like you were joking around. I know you weren't.

Why would you even start that in front of everyone if you weren't even going to follow through with it? I don't enjoy being smacked around and not knowing why. If you have something you're upset about, then just tell me. I don't notice everything, so please don't expect me to just know whenever something's wrong with you. I don't want to play guessing games.

And also, if you decide to pull a stunt like that again, I won't hesitate to five-star you into next week. Even if you are five times stronger than me.

Additionally, I won't be the one to call and ask you what's wrong. If you want me to know that bad, just tell me yourself. I'm tired of having to guess whenever you're upset and having you tell me about how a good friend would 'just know.' If that's true, then I guess we must not be 'good friends' even after 6 years.

I don't know what spurred on all those nasty things you said today, but I didn't enjoy you insulting my violin playing. I know I'm not the best. But, neither are you. You can criticize me when you get first chair. Until then, I'll be occupying it.



I've told you this before and I'm going to say it again, if you're not happy, then do something about it. Please stop sitting around being angry and upset because your friends let you down or because they hung out without you. You complain about how we leave you out, but it's you who chooses not to participate whenever we do anything! And if you don't like your current friends, find new ones because I doubt we're all going to change ourselves for your sake. 

I'm not saying this to be a jerk, really I'm not (although I can admit that I am a bit angry). But, this is getting a bit repetitive and nothing's improving with the way things are going now. Just listen to me, afterall, I'm the wiser one in this relationship, as much as you may want to argue otherwise.

Christmas, the happiest time of the year, is just around the corner and it'd be great if everyone was merry. Especially at next week's Christmas party. Secret Santa is a fantastic way to save money btw. I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully, you'll get over whatever's wrong by then and enjoy it with the rest of us.





P.S. Stop calling me immature. It makes me want to hurt things. Mainly you.


Love,
Amy <3

It's a been a while.

It's been a while since I've felt this angry. Really.

So, I applied early action to a certain college. A certain very prestigious college mind you. Their application was due ridiculously early and I worked on it for weeks straight. And after much stressing and re-reading and spelling-checking for the 100th time, I sent it in. I even got a reply email notifying that they received it.

Here I was, anxiously waiting for the decision to come back on December 1st. I refreshed my email inbox like 50 times in a minute.

What do I get? Nada. Zip. None.

It was seriously starting to worry me, so I sent them an email asking about it. You know what they reply with? "Sorry, but you did not submit the application along with the other required materials on time."

WHAT? Really? I've never heard anything so completely, absolutely ridiculous. You even sent me a confirmation email!

I then proceeded to tell them so.

And you know what I get?

"Sorry for the misunderstanding, but it's too late to correct anything now. We wish you luck in regular admissions!"

I hate them. Really.

I don't think I'm even going to apply regular decision. I can't go to a school that I so highly dislike now. And to think it was my top choice at the time.

Well, times have changed.

Fan-freakin-tastic.





On a positive note: I had a tootsie pop today. It was immensely satisfying.
