we're going on an adventure!

Charlieee, we're going on an adventure! (actually, Hallie and Andelle) Runescape is an amazing boredom buster. The end. Sorry the quality is awful.

in the home stretch

this is our last week of school before finals (Andelle is already finished!)...we are almost done. of course, there are still a billion activities/things that need to be done...

some of my pictures from WV are here on flickr and there are a few more are on facebook.

this is an old photo, buts its pretty representative of the weather right now.

easter

spring?!?

SNOW DAY!

enough said.

College Update

Got responses from Drexel and RIT
got 14.4K per year (5 years) from drexel and a financial statement
lets just say it would cost atleast 10K more then WPI to go there so I have decided not to consider it.

RIt got no info yet

Had two college interviews
One at Stevens (SIT) But they liked me there from what I heard from my interviewer

One at UMBC for the myherhoff scholarship weekend...After being forced to stay up till one and then having to go for an interview... was kind of torutureous. And after the 24 hours i still consider it a crazy cult LOL

to see a few [select] photos from our trip go here:

Hallie's Pictures

On a more relevant note (college related) I should start hearing back from schools in about 2 weeks.

"wild" burros

we just got back from our trip out west...heres one picture, i'll put some more up tomorrow (and this one is a cell phone pic, following haven's theme!)

my mom just said...

"I'm missing a vital piece of equipment...my brain."

It was funny.

"It's like throwing up rainbows!"

Haven and I had our daily adventure today. We decided to attempt to make rainbow cake.

Its like they are giant eyes

Haven is pouring some red cake batter

look at all the colors

It's a rainbow!

Cooked cake looks like Tye Dye

Note the blue stuff is homemade frosting haven dyed to be aqua just cool whip with some pudding mix.

Groovy colors

This is where the quote "It's like throwing up rainbows!" comes in to place
Not that bad for an awesome adventure and the cake besides its wacky colors tasted good as well.

deja vu

[ysa said i should post this...]

i just drove up and down the same street five times in the past hour (actually this was half an hour ago so between 4:30 and 5:30)...and not because i just needed something to do...i actually had to.
crazy.
lol.

on another point...today we had a half day for midterms. it was so pointless. we watched Save the Last Dance in gym and then I had my creative writing midterm where I had to read something then write a monologue. but tomorrow i have 3 midterms. lame.

Chinese New Year

Missed going to the Chinese New Year party. Sorry guys had a birthday party to go to here is some proof.

College Update

I got into two colleges since I last updated. I also applied to the rest of the ones i was going to apply to.

Colleges I got into
Michigan Tech
Suny Binghamton

I'm So Nervous

On Thursday is the writing portion of the application for North Point. Or at least I think it's on Thursday. My friend who's also applying for biotech says it is. *freakin' out!*

it is currently

7 degrees here in essex county.

We're learning about Romanesque art in AP Art History right now...so that means lots of churches and illuminated manuscripts. Today we made our own pages for a book that will be a midterm study guide (so something like an illumniated art history bible? ha.). Each person had a letter or a number.

We did this activity like monks/nuns...complete with candlelight, Gregorian chants, and silence. People who talked too much got tape put over their mouths.

more admissions decisions

I got into UMaine Orono, College of Arts and Sciences. and i recieved a $40,000 scholarship over 4 years (the Presidential Scholar merit award). and an invitation to the Honors College. I like this letter of admission better than the one I got from Rutgers because it includes a short (3 sentence) handwritten note at the bottom the letter from the director of admissions. It makes you feel more like they actually care...
Ooh! And I got a window decal!

7Day Count Down

I have applied to the 3 out of six colleges i need to apply to that the due date is JANUARY 15th. I have applied to all the free to apply to ones (mich Tech, Drexel, rpi)

Goal of the week is to complete applications and complete application to honors college for UMBC because my parents want me to.

Scholarship update:
Got a scholarship to WPI for the tune of 19.4K a year not enough to probably cover the needs of an expensive school but its something.
