<p>Victoria...SAME thing with me. My friends all make fun of me because i know SOOOO much about college. It has become a hobby for me...apparently...i'm such a dork</p>
<p>haha yea same here-- but the REAL nerd is my dad.. he bought like 6 college admission and scholarship books and is CONSTANTLY reading them.. he's gonna be bored once he knows where i'm going and has no life left.</p>
<p>haha Harpingchic, you should tell him to join the Parents' Forum. There's some pretty obsessed (but helpful!) parents on there.</p>
<p>yay Amores! go Ovid! although I'm not sure how that applied there. regardless, yay!</p>
<p>im not sure how it applies in the larger sense of the conversation, lol, but the passage itself applies to me, and how i feel when im doing homework and "conforming to the demands of the hectic society"... to incorperate of our Thoreau conversation from enlgish today.</p>
<p>Harpingchic,</p>
<p>My dad was EXACTLY like that too. He finished all my college guides and brought back so many financial aid books from the library, you'd think that HE's going to college. But it worked out...</p>
<p>My parents know nothing about college and never went to college themselves. They have NOOOOO idea how difficult this process is and my dad basically wants me to go to Yale for the bumper sticker. Seriously...he has them all ready to go. Too bad he'll never be able to put them on :(</p>
<p>i still have the sticker decal i got there this summer, Im afraid to attach it to anything. but i still have it just in case! my dad is waaay uninvolved in this whole process (aside from the fact that hes paying for stuff! lol) and my mom refuses to get her hopes up, she counters my refusal to be pessimistic!</p>
<p>ivyboy, you need some confidence cookies!</p>
<p>and milk, does a body good</p>
<p>hehe :P :)</p>
<p>again with the cookies! Ugh, i do need cookies. I got a speeding ticket today. It is my second one. I was going 85 in a 65...but my friend's dad is a seargent in the same city I got it in...hopefully i can get out of it. Anyway, this is not good and i don't have the courage to tell my parents...who, ironically, gave me my christmas present tonight. :( I feel awful</p>
<p>aww, sorry about that. Hope it goes well. :(</p>
<p>I'll take a confidence cookie please! :)</p>
<p>TJ I hope you can get out of the ticket...what'd you get for christmas?</p>
<p>hey Latin scholars -
i found this site, and its life saving!!
so i thought id share it with my SCEA family, considering that at least two others here are Latin scholars, and who knows how many are closit-latin-scholars, lol
enjoy! </p>
<p>I got $300...maybe i can use it to pay off my ticket....or for my trip to run away to Mexico. Anyone know of any good colleges in Mexico?</p>
<p>hehe. hopefully you won't have to. :)</p>
<p>the suspense is killing me! its 23 days plus the full day of the 16th... it seems like forever ago i was posting about it being 31 days!! thats just a week ago... goodness goodness goodness. this is too much
lol
and my interviewer hasnt replied to my email!!! i replied two full days ago! akch! i want that interview, i want my answer, yea or nea i need it now!
lol
sorry, stress buster</p>
<p>its ok. I feel the same way. The days go by so slowly. And no matter how much I try not to care, I do. And a few kids at my school are already into their choice of college, and I...well, I'm not. Ugh, and there is this one kid at my school who is SOOOOO confident that he's going to get into Harvard. Too bad they don't reject any early applicants...</p>
<p>I know how you feel about the suspense! I was looking forward to this Thanksgiving break (we get this whole week off from school), because I thought time would go by faster. It doesn't. I just have more time to check CC :(.</p>
<p>Swimming started today though, on a more positive note.</p>
