<p>200 words into my essay…</p>
<p>As long as everything is proofread submit it and enjoy the rest of your evening while the rest of us are stuck working. How I wish I was done but I guess this is what I get for starting on Friday.</p>
<p>Chris, I don’t know whether to rejoice or cry lol!!! I keep hovering over the submit button, if I sneeze it’s gone! lol</p>
<p>@Aya My mom made me start in the summer, so on that day I wrote the first essay then I forgot about it until 2 days ago. I’m SUCH A PROCRASTINATOR lol… I just wrote 6 essays in 4 hours after church. <em>Sigh</em> I should have listened to my mom.</p>
<p>I’ll submit. Thanks you guys. :)</p>
<p>I was just going to write “Do it!!”, but CC says my message has to be at least 10 characters…</p>
<p>Wow 6 essays in 4 hours?..</p>
<p>I write fast. I’m used to it. A.P Exams && Mr. Whittle (my A.P English IV) teacher has been training us like a little writing army since Freshman year lol!!</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>I love writing though. If there were a math component of this application, I would just pack up and go to YouTube!</p>
<p>lol Chris!!</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Whoa 6 essays in 4 hours sounds pretty amazing. In fact, it is inspirational. Yeah I find that coming up with the idea is the hardest part, but writing is the easiest.</p>
<p>I died a little bit inside when I saw this:</p>

<p>Go Burrito!! Don’t you feel the freedom?</p>
<p>yea 6 hrs in 4 hrs is pretty beastly. I did like all of the 8 in like 10 hrs or so…
But now i need to proof read so that might take a while.
I type pretty fast but thinking of what to write is hard.
75 words a minute!!! ;)</p>
<p>Aya! I couldn’t have said it better myself. I spent more time thinking about which experiences would convey me the best as a person; I thought about how to help the essay readers understand the choices I have made, in order to establish a better future for myself. I’m honestly proud of everyone who poured their heart out for this process.</p>
<p>Good job burito good luck wit ur GSM app.</p>
<p>Chris, I actually feel kind of numb. Should I go take some medicine or dance it out? LOL!</p>
<p>Thanks Chanoob! You too! I hope we all make the cut! I feel like this is an audition; we all await our fates anxiously. Haha, I’ll be seeing you guys again in March & some of you tomorrow lol!</p>
<p>What kind of community service and activities did you have?</p>
<p>You should dance!! I just learned how to Jerk, so you could try that. Lol.
Do any of you know when we’ll be notified?</p>
<p>haha me too. I just recently realized the deadline was tomorrow.</p>
<p>Chris, people got notified last year around March 9th if they were finalists or not and scholars were notified in early May. I’ve been creeping the old boards LMAO!!!
