Yay! ProjectPlaylist is working again! Everyone should check out my updated music thing (on Facebook, on the left, under "Friends"). Very awesome.
I'm preparing for my meeting with Mrs. Tillman on the 8th and preparing all my information for colleges. I have the final list of colleges I'm applying to (in order of where I want to go first):
1) United States Naval Academy
2) *tie* United States Air Force Academy
2) *tie* University of Delaware
3) Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
4) Rensselaer Institute of Technology
I was going to apply to UW but recently found out that they require you to have test scores sent directly from the testing agency, as in - scores on your transcript aren't good enough. And because I've already chosen 4 places for my scores to go, it'd cost me like $10 to send my scores in. Plus, there's the $70 application fee. So, it'd cost me way loads of money to apply. So, nope. Not happening. Sorry, all you lovely WA peeps that I'd love to go to college with, I can't go, lol. Come to Annapolis with me! lol
I was also considering applying to Iowa State but, sadly, I've decided against it. (Sorry Sarah!) It's really silly but I'm not to fond of the school colors (which is also why Rose-Hulman and Rensselaer are not that high on the list, lol). And...idk, what's there to do in Iowa? So, yeah...lol. Speaking of colleges, the UD essay requirement is really bugging me. It's all like "what are you doing to make the environment greener?". I'm like, "uh....not littering?" Very frustrating. Of course, there's the question about how your heritage shapes you. So, I think I'll have to answer that one. :) I'm really enjoying life right now. I have a couple things that I have to deal with, but I just remind myself that it's all in God's hands and that helps. Knowing that I don't have to stress over it really helps. I'm practicing running for my 1.5-mile run for ROTC and my 1-mile run for USAFA/USNA. So far, I've gotten my mile run down to 9:14 minutes which isn't *that* fast but isn't *that* bad either. I've just got to get it down to about 7:30 or, at the slowest, 8:15. Then I'll be pretty competitive. Of course, working on situps and pushups, as well as pullups and shuttle runs are important too. It's all taking a while. I think I should be good on situps and pushups but the pullups and mile/mile-and-a-half run are kinda bugging me. I'm working on it. I've got a new job now and I *love* it. I'm working at Carl Doubét, Jr. Jewelers in Greenville. It's a really great job as I'm learning sales (and in jewelry too!) as well as working on the computers, and jewelry display. It's a really cool job and good pay too! Much better than catering as well, because there's much more person-to-person interaction, and I'm allowed to talk to the people. So, that's the exciting things. I'll post again later - probably next week or something. My brother's birthday is coming up and I haven't gotten his gift yet, which is really annoying me. But I think I know what I want to get him so I just need to go get it, y'know? It's at a local store too, so it's just driving down there to get it. Speaking of driving, I really love driving my dad's car. It's super awesome and comfy. And smooth. And...rockin'. :) I love it! Although, I'd probably buy an Audi over a Kia, it's super nice. So, I might get it as a first time car or something.

All I'm going to say is that you would totally love it here. It's a T O N like COS on the honors floor. You shouldn't judge us by our school colors. You could adapt easily to this. *stern*
And as for whats-there-to-do-in-IA, there is a HECK of a lot more here than there would be if you were locked up in the asylum known as the USAFA. :-P Dude seriously, there are so many amazing people here! And there's the Memorial Union and the UDCC and TARGET. No kidding, it's awesome. Pwease at least visit before you make a finalfinal decision??
