Song of the day/week/month:
I do SO not know where the heck I'm going next year. It's scary.... I'm pretty sure I'll get into Wesleyan... But maybe I won't. It helps to apply early decision, that means it's a binding contract, if I get in I have to go. The application deadline is 1st of January... So I have to decide before then. If I do apply early decision, I'm almost guaranteed to get in. if I don't, it's a 70/30 kinda thing... My Aunt says I have to write an essay that will amke them laugh, make them cry. I could try that.. but was never much of a writer... And right now I want to go... BUT:
I will miss you. It's bad enough when you're in the same country but busy, scheduled just don't seem to match up very often. Glad they do sometimes though... But if I go to the US, there will be NO seeing any of you. Sucky sucky sucky deluxe. I'll like, be home for christmas and summer and that's it. I'm not that scared about the whole family-thing, I've been living pretty isolated from them the past 2 years really, it's normal that a few days go by in between when I see my Mom, with school and both our work and all, the IB has been my transition state away from family-ish. But I've gotten used to having this great group of friends around me all the time. And although a lot of you are not around me all the time anymore, the further I go the harder it'll be.... So that's one thing... I mean I'm sure there will be a lot of nice people there as well... But nothing compares to you...
Wesleyan in in the middle of nowhere (Middletown, Connecticut). The closest train station is... 13 km away. But there are buses... on weekdays at least.... I guess if I learn to drive I'd be able to get around there. it's the dream place, except its so far away from everywhere. wouldn't have bothered me much 3 years ago, i didn't know any better. But now I'm sick spoiled... Then we have the other extreme, Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh. It's a small school which is great, but its in the middle of a big city... Not a big problem but I didn't like it as much there as at Wesleyan...
I'm writing my applications and everything now... Sending it all off soon... Oh, I don't know what I want to do... I kind of want to just stay here... but the most annoying thing about here is people are always speaking norwegian. Don't really like that. It doesn't sound half as nice (except in a few of the songs).
Oki, just can't seem to get it all out in writing... I've never been as happy as in IB... wonder if it can happen again, or if I have to hold on to it, like now, clinging on as hard as I can and trying to pretend its still here, I can't keep that going forever can I? So maybe I should take a chance again, and go somewhere I've only been to visit once. It worked mighty perfect last time....
bahhhh. What I CAN do right now, is study tremendously, work hard hard hard, write some ass-kicking tear-sprouting laughter filled essay and brag tremendously about KLG, Unge Forskere, and all that, so I'll have a very good chance of getting in even if I don't apply early decision. Then I won't have to decide until... the 1st of May. Like I'll have less on my mind then
Oh, and PS: Not expecting you to give me any advice or anything, you're doing this yourselves as well, and its sucky of me to come moaning about my whole college process when you have your own to worry about, I just don't know any other way of expressing myself....
ugh
See you Sunday
