<p>Right now I have serious stats envy. It's like, I'm the only one with low scores. XD My scores should be laughed at. AND I don't have any really amazing awards. But in any case, I love that there are all these girls! That hinders us in a way. So many intellegent girls and not enough boys.</p>
<p>Why would the lot of you be so worried? You have over 2200s and 800s and amazing ECs, why would you be so concerned? Sure, no one really knows but now I feel like I should be extra worried. Ah, I pity the fool who is bad at taking tests.</p>

<p>hi, i was just wondering for all those who have begun to fill out part 1 of the application...for the section that asks you what your career interests are and then has a blank space for 400 characters...is this asking for a paragraph explanation? if so, would you write this like any other essay..or is it just like right now I am looking into this career..?</p>
<p>lol De2. Well, the story line is pretty crappy, but the principles and the religion it teaches I strongly believe in. Thats the reason why I enjoy it.</p>
<p>LOL. You guys make me giggle. You know what we should have added to the list? Why everyone has their username? XD Some people have some crazy ones. GAH! 10 days till school.</p>
<p>lol, mine already started. :( but hey, senior year is SO fun... the teachers are so laidback and they make sure you learn but not so much that you have to do a ton of hw. i mean, last year, my first weekend after school started and i had to read like 50 chapters in 4 different textbooks. this year, i only have to read a section of one and start some books for logs.</p>
