<p>This thread shouldn't be as quiet as it is. :( Where else am I gonna share my anxiety? lol.</p>
<p>35 days. Or, to be more specific, 35 days, 21 hours, and 16 minutes.</p>
<p>...</p>
<p>35 days!!! Yay!!!</p>
<p>Hey, I check at least once a day. Usually I checked more often, but now I'm getting really busy with my debate team... :D</p>
<p>I agree with chillaxin. Where has everyone gone??? :(</p>
<p>Most people are gone because these months are the time when clubs truely take off. For example, Key Club is about to have their Fall Rally soon. As for me, I have been busy with finishing up makeup work and really trying to make my club more exhilarating this year. Other than that, I hope all you enjoy your Veterans Weekend. Oh yeah, I also made an official countdown for all of us lol. </p>
<p>It isn't that great, but, if any of you want to make it, for procrastination purposes or whatever, go for it.</p>
<p>I've just been hecka busy. I'm starting a food drive at school, and it's crazy stressful. I always check in after school though lol.. or whenever I get back home (last night it was 9)</p>
<p>choboking; i love the countdown!</p>
<p>What style of Debate do you practice Pyeela / how long have you been debating?</p>
<p>Haha that countdown is awesome!</p>
<p>I'm seriously thinking of making that countdown my homepage.. hahaha.</p>
<p>I've actually always been interested in debate. The specific class that I'm taking this semester is called We the People. It's a constitutional "debate" class. We have six units and discuss separate topics. The one I'm in discusses philosophers and political theory. It's a mock Congressional testimony.</p>
<p>I've been interested in debate for a while, but our school doesn't have a formal debate team or anything. I took debate freshman year for a semester, but that's about it. I'm glad I have this opportunity because it definitely tests my speaking & memorization skills, poise, and stress-handling capabilties.</p>
<p>But it's fun. I love it. I'm getting along great with my unit members (I just got back from our meeting -- 5 people in our unit). These are people I would never spend time with, so it's definitely a new experience. :D And it's a great program to learn about and really delve into politics.</p>
<p>Anyways, that's my shmeal. I love the countdown too Chobokin!!! <3 I have one in my organizer...which I never check...Aaah...so nervous.</p>
<p>Are any of you also being bombarded by schools w/ full rides & stuff? My dad's loving all of that. Hey! Think about Texas A&M, try this one, how about this one? ugh...</p>
<p><em>International student</em>, free ride :rolleyes: , that'll be the day! :)</p>
<p>lol wow pyleela thats awesome! congratulations. at least you have some type of backup right? lol. pyleela have you thought about JSA? there is a summer conference every year. it costs money though, but if you are interested, it might be worth it.</p>
<p>Oops...Choboking, I typo-ed your name in my last post. XD Sorry!</p>
<p>:D Yes, JSA has sent me applications three times now, but usually I've been working/interning/volunteering/visiting India during my summers. Also, my parents thought it was a money-making scam of sorts. I get lots of spam e-mails, so their fears aren't unfounded. And since my major will be some science (maybe a minor in arts subject), I figured that researching would show more sincerety and "passion" than JSA, which isn't somthing I'm planning on venturing into. <strong>shrug</strong></p>
<p>So much to do, so little time. I hate that I can't do everything I want. To get into a school like Stanford <strong>dream</strong> you have to show passion, and if your interests get too varied, it'll be hard to get admission. grr... JSA is definitely something I would have pursued, had I had a few more summers... :(</p>
<p>:D <-- I always like ending happy! :)</p>
<p>yes pyleela! I have gotten so many schools offering full tuition, etc. and Texas A & M U has been one and similarily, my dad was like you should look into that! Were you also a National Merit Semi-finalist?</p>
<p>Yup yup yup</p>
<p>Wait... do you get these if you're a NMSF? Cuz I don't really open most of my college mail.. I'll have to start..</p>
<p>same as julyinoh.. eventually I started just chucking them out, hahah.</p>
<p>Yup. You get extremely large packages from these universities.</p>
<p>yeah i got one from UTexas @ Dallas offering full tuition + 5,000 dollars annual spending money + 1,000 per quarter toward apartment housing
insane...</p>
<p>but all I really want is Stanford</p>
<p>i got one from the NSA offering me tuition at any college and a summer internship. anyone else get that one. i'm going to be a secret agent. :p</p>
