So someone once told me that March was going to be a great month with a lot of free time for a senior and lots of fun. Someone lied to me.
This has quite honestly been a month from hell. I pulled my only all-nighter of the year (so far) and while my grades are up to my freshman year standards, my brain is melting. Half my classes are mind-numbingly simple (psych, senior project, and APES), two are kicking my butt (math and AP Chem), and one is actually interesting on alternating days (Humanities). I love humanities. It is solidly by far my favorite class at the moment. It's so entertaining, with minimal work, and with serious comprehension. In going to miss it next year.
I have no clue where I'm going to college. I lean Caltech at times, MIT at times, and then realized I couldn't read (not that that makes sense Christie...). No, but I know I don't even have all the info and I'm still waiting on Northwestern and JHU and I can't make decisions. BUT I WANT TO MAKE A DECISION.
Okay. All good. Byes.

ALL-EAST!!!
Oh man. So I just did not have a weekend this weekend. Which led to a general state of exhaustion. Which is why I got 11 hours of sleep last night. Which was amazing. But anyways. I had a pretty interesting time at All-East.
So I got to leave school on Thursday at 10 AM after a rousing chemistry test. LAtersss...

Crappp
So as happy as I was to be accepted to Caltech, the ever present "where am I going" question remains. I know. It's all a very nice question to be in the midst of. But it's so confusing at the same time. There are extreme pluses and minuses to both places (aka, one's too close, one's too far away) but things I like about both. And there's a lot I can't yet figure in (like financial stuff). I honestly just want to make a decision. And I want to hear from everywhere else. And at some point, I will make a big long list of pros and cons of each place and then ignore all of the careful notes and make a gut decision. And the thing is, I predict I will be happy in the end.
But until then... I will just wait and leave up all my Caltech and MIT posters (I looked at my room last night and realized I have three Caltech posters and I haven't yet put up my MIT one... is that a sign?). Gah, I'm going to die. It isn't going to be fun.
WHY can't this be easy?
Good news is I only have three and a half days of school this week. And All-Eastern at the end of the week. So it should be a good week. But I can already tell that I'm going to be completely confused for a while. And really unnecessarily so.

ACCEPTED
So I'm currently 5/5. I got into Caltech. And yes, that means I got the double-tech as well. MIT+Caltech=people apparently think I'm smart. Not sure if I am, but that's the overall impression apparently. Or at least different, which is usually good.
Well, yesterday, Christie, Kristine, and I spent 14 hours writing a 16 page paper about math. Yes, we're the cool kids. Hopefully we'll win some money out of it. But yes, it was fun. And I ate a lot. Which will only make me more squishy. Oh FML.
And today was GBYSO. And Paige and I celebrated getting into college (she was accepted to EASTMAN... holy crap) by going to Starbucks. It was yummy. And I got an espresso brownie on top of a Mocha Frap and I was a happy camper. And the brownie brought back memories of a flat tire incident with an HP. Awesomeness.
So I blogged. For the first time in a long time. And someday I will finish my Northwestern entry... someday.
