<p>Anyway, may rants for the day.</p>
<p>OMG, my mouth still hurts! >></p>
<p>And what the Hell! Due to my cold sores, and my mouth hurting non-stop, I have not ate anything hard.
How did I just break a 3rd bracket off my braces? I feel like they are scamming me, pfft. I only get 2 more free bracket replaces.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Which school do you go to again? I know that every student in an honors class at Thomas Dale has to do that stupid science fair project and I’m really ****ed about it! And to top it off, a judge is going to come in and actually judge our project…a JUDGE. Are you serious? Why can’t the teacher do it?</p>
<p>o.O I haven’t heard anything about a science fair here at Matoaca. That sucks.</p>
<p>Yeah it does! Damn you Matoaca kids. haha. And actually, I got accepted into Matoaca’s specialty center and I was going to attend, but they told us that freshman wouldn’t even be getting laptops. Plus, I didn’t think the program seemed that strong. As a result, I attended Dale (homeschool).</p>
<p>affirmative actions sucks. Why should minorities have an easier time getting into college just because of the color of their skin? I mean, growing up in Africa would make someone diverse but growing up in America with black skin doesn’t make that person any more diverse than the white kid who grew up in the same neighborhood. The only thing that holds someone back from success these days is themselves, not some oppressive “whitie” who keeps all the minorities in ghettos.</p>
<p>^^ diversity. That’s the simple answer.</p>
<p>Look at the amount of minorities in colleges now WITH affirmative action—it’s very low. Now imagine if it didn’t exist? Trust me, if you work hard enough in school and get good grades you should have no problem getting into a good school. And FYI, minorities still have to have solid grades and scores to get into good schools like everyone else.</p>
<p>life sucks and sucks and sucks and sucks and sucks again and again and again then you DIE!!!
I am tired of sucking up to the mean teachers for grades. The minute I get my college acceptance I will flick every one of them off.
I am so nervous and scared everyday because of my grades. I need to make straight a’s this semester just because I have a really easy schedule. My counselor effed up my schedule leaving me with only 2 honors classes.
oh and all that applications?
People tell me everything will end soon. It doesnt help me at all. i dont care when it ends. I can do this whole thing again. I just need a result!
Everyone tells me I will get into college so theres nothing to worry. I am not worried about getting into colleges, I know I can get into “Colleges” I want to get into my top choice schools not just any college!
I am back at home for thanksgiving. It is so good to be back with my family again and I am already dreading to go back to the boarding school so I am not really having a good time here either. I will cry in the plane.
~Fini~</p>
<p>I was supposed to volunteer tonight! I missed it! I know that I wasn’t necessarily needed(I likely would have just watched students), but I feel bad for not going.</p>
<p>Lol – I was looking for this thread </p>
<p>^ Sorry to hear about that. </p>
<p>I actually have to skip volunteer work tomorrow (after waiting for sooo long for this opportunity, ugh) because I need to write up an elaborate grant proposal for a research project that I have no zero interest for because it’s so complicated (by my standards lol) and underdeveloped – I’m so clueless about it. And the internet isn’t helping! :(</p>
<p>I’m praying that the organization extends the deadline - like who in the right mind makes a proposal due before Thanksgiving, knowing how hectic and crazy that week is?</p>
<p>Insane people, I tell you…</p>
<p>Aww, sorry xx:( Do you have to do the internship?</p>
<p>It’s not an internship yet (but hopefully, this summer if everything goes well + I would get a nice stipend). </p>
<p>But I am being forced to do a project this year - I couldn’t drop it out my schedule, even if I wanted to since it was too late.
It’s so stressful trying to come up with a project from scratch and then realizing you have to make major changes to it b/c it’s too ambitious and impossible. I feel like it would be too elementary and simplistic if I make certain changes and I’m not happy with that :/</p>
<p>Just the perfect thing I need to wreck my weekend.</p>
<p>Aww:( I’m sorry:/ At least you have Thanksgiving break coming up:) This is a class outside of your school, right? Hopefully everything works out and you acquire an internship. Best of luck!</p>
<p>I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT AMERICAN HISTORY AND I HAVE THE TEST IN 2 WEEKS AND FOR SOME REASON I STILL CAN’T BRING MYSELF TO ACTUALLY STUDY. AHHHH!! *** IS HAPPENING TO ME?! AND I HATE MYSELF EVERY SECOND BECAUSE DEEP DOWN I’M AWARE OF THE FACT THAT I’M NOT STUDYING WHEN I SHOULD BE. AND THEN I HATE MYSELF LATER FOR NOT STUDYING. YET I DO IT AGAIN!!! SO NOW I’M TTOOOOOOTALLY ****, I’LL PROBABLY GET LIKE 500, MY LIFE WILL BE OVER BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I’M GIVING UP (EVEN THOUGH I’M TELLING MYSELF I’M NOT) LAST MINUTE.</p>
<p>i’m sorry about the caps.</p>
<p>Why doesnt mid-december come faster, with good news?</p>
<p>^ I pray that mid-dec does not come at ALL. That’ll be the day my mom will buy 297391479347914 PSAT/SAT prep books for me to retake the test next year. </p>
<p>*sob. my friends need to stop calling me insane for taking ONE summer course at a community college. UNLIKE Y’ALL, I’M ACTUALLY PLANNING TO GO TO COLLEGE.</p>
<p>okay, so i think i’m pretty unique CC-wise in the fact that my parents wont let me take any AP histories. I despise the bore that is regular classes and it seems I’ll have one the next few years :/. it sucks because I’ll have less AP’s on my apps in classes I know I could do well in (I have a 100+ in Pre-AP World right now). Do you think colleges would understand if I was dying to take more APs and challenge myself but my parents wouldnt let me? I didnt think so either :/. I wish I was Asian, then maybe my parents would actually encourage me academically instead of telling me to quit reading and studying so much. I got invited to go to a national youth leadership forum, they didnt even look at the pamphlet. same for mathpath and others. and when exeter sent me a packet because of my AMC score and i was extremely excited, they hardly acknowledged it, and the only acknowledgement it got was “no.” 
:(</p>
<p>exams are in two weeks. thanksgiving break right now and I’m doing chores. oh, and I’m moving, which I DONT need right need. and after my last sibling moves away next year it will be just me and my parents and all of their focus on me. :(</p>
<p>Someone made a thread regarding my gender:/</p>
<p>Why do people feel compelled to know what it is?</p>
<p>Sorry :)</p>
<p>I wasn’t curious until other people started guessing your gender.</p>
<p>Lol, it’s ok:) </p>
<p>I suppose it saves me from getting asked in other threads. Again though, I don’t see the significance in telling people.</p>
<p>Lol, just tell them then =]</p>
