| I like derivatives |

Weird day yesterday. For some reason I thought SATs started at 845, but I woke up at 730 and realized they start at 745. It takes 20 min to get to school from my house, so I grabbed the closest clothes I saw and did 60 on the backroads and got there just in time. I think I beasted them, but I was irritated at having to take the whole thing, all I wanted was to raise my math and there were 50 bagillion reading and writing sections. Funnily enough, I got the same writing prompt as I did last time. I wrote the same essay.
Filled out my UConn application after I got home. All that's left for me to do now is the common app stuff and I'm all set with applications. If I did really well on my math section yesterday I have a chance of getting into Columbia, but if I don't get in I'll be at UConn. I don't mind, I don't have the disdain for UConn many of the top kids at my school do. If I go for free then I start my real life with no debt.
Went to Chili's with Thom and Susan for dinner. On the way back we were going to go to Dairy Queen but we wound up at the casino and got Ben and Jerry's there. They have sharks in a tank at the casino and we got into a discussion about a showdown between dolphins and sharks, then bear vs shark, then ladybug vs shark. Susan said the ladybug would win if it had an infectious disease and swam down in an air bubble and peed in the shark's lungs. I think Susan is a bit weird.
Grades closed for the quarter this week. I have an A- in physics and an A in chem, but I don't know what I have in calculus. I'm hoping an A- and won't be surprised at a B+, but either way it's going to go up for the semester because I've got the hang of derivatives now. I hate Latin so much that I've stopped doing the work. It could kill my gpa, but I think about half the kids in the top ten are expecting their gpa to drop, and that could be good for me if I wasn't so damn lazy.
If I get through this week, the rest of the month will be a breeze. Next week I have a day off and two half days, which is the best week ever but one would think the administration wouldn't do all that in a single week. After that is Thanksgiving week. I could use this time to fly down and visit Clemson but I think I'm just going to work. Gas prices are over $3 and sometimes it sucks living in the richest state in the country.
I'm going shopping today. I need new clothes. I always need new clothes. It's cold now. |
