I never dreamed that it would come to this day..but it did...and today was our last high school bhhs football game. It was also probably one of the most fun football games ever with lots of screaming and cheering and talking and much more. All the seniors even got to do B House - so that rocked. But now after four long years, I am sorry to say goodbye to bhhs football and bhhs marching band season. No more marching on the sidewalk to the game before it and after it, no more atten hut - BH!, no more cheering GO GET EM AH HUH!, no more screaming B H H SSSSSSSSS!!!, no more fight song and all those other songs and last of all no more marching. Thinking that all of this is over is really sad. It's now time to look towards the future at applications and college..maybe a college band? And..SAT 2 writing tomorrow...wish me luck
Yesterday I went to Berkeley. That was soo fun! My mom and I flew up there and arrived around 8 in the morning. When we got there, we rented a car. So, we were driving to Berkeley and I told my mom that we needed to take the 80 freeway. The only problems is that I didn't tell her 80 west or east. So we went on the 80 west when I realized that we were on the wrong freeway. The best part was that the wrong freeway had a toll road and more traffic and we couldnt get off until we passed the double decker bridge. The whole idea of taking the wrong road sucked but it was great to actually see the city of San Francisco firsthand because I had never seen it before. I even got to see the Golden Gate Bridge and the Navy headquarters. So we finally got to Berkeley aroun 9:30 and took a tour and went to an Admissions session. Then we met Pascal. He lives in Tellefsen Hall - the band dorm! Their dorm is soo cool because everyone knows each other because they're all in the band. They do soo much together and it seems like soo much fun! O ya...I forgot to mention the great crepes they have at Berkeley. So, go to Berkeley and get some crepes. Anyways, Pascal took us to the band rehearsal hall. Some of the heads of the Berkeley studen-run band gave us a tour and gave me a clue about appealing to Berkeley if I didn't get in. This was probably the best part because I have a much much higher chance of getting in now. Also, its incredible how much spirit there is at Berkeley. Everyone loooves the band! (unlike at BHHS even though we're the biggest group in the school) Afterwards, we met Ben Chapman. He took me up the Campanile, which is a huge bell tower in the middle of the campus. The view from this is incredible! If you ever go to Berkeley, make sure to go on that. Then he took us to the library, which we couldn't get into because the librarians there suck, and his dorm. His dorm is really nice. I forgot to mention something. In one day, I saw 7 out of the 10 students going to Berkeley from BHHS who graduated last year. That's pretty incredible considering how big the campus is and how many people go there. So, finally I had to leave. Leaving was soo sad because I really like it there and I didn't want to leave my old friends. And it seems like they're all having sooo much fun there. Everyone there could not stop talking about how much fun they were having there. I am soo jealous of them and I just can't wait until college. (149 days left of high school!!!) And sorry to all those Bruins and Stanford people...but GO BEARS!!!
Berkeley is my first choice school..especially the college of chemistry there. In order to get into the college of chemistry, I have to take physics (which I previously dropped out of! Stupid me right?) So..today I went and talked to Mrs. Saatjian-Green and Ms. Utley, the science department chair, and Mr. Knowlton and now I'm back in AP Physics sadly. This means more stress for the rest of the year. How joyous!
It's freakin 12:30 and I'm still working. I have like a couple more hours worth of work. This is not like me!AAAhhhhhhhhhh.........when is school over???????????????????......8.5 months!
PROBABLY THE GAUCHOS IN THE COLLEGE OF CREATIVE STUDIES WHICH ACCORDING TO MY BROTHER, I HAVE ALMOST AN AUTOMATIC IN. THIS COLLEGE IS PROBABLY EVEN BETTER THAN BERKELEY BECAUSE YOU REALLY GET TO DO RESEARCH AS SOON AS YOU ARRIVE AND YOU CAN TAKE GRADUATE CLASSES AND YOU CAN BASICALLY START ON YOUR MAJOR AS SOON AS YOU GET THERE AND THERE ARE FEWER GENERAL EDS. I'M GONNA MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE HEAD OF THE CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT TO SHOW ME AROUND. MY BROTHER TOLD ME THAT IF I MAKE A GOOD ENOUGH IMPRESSION HE MAY EVEN ACCEPT ME ON THE SPOT. SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE RIGHT? WRONG! BECAUSE THE WHOLE COLLEGE OF CREATIVE STUDIES STAFF THINKS MY BROTHER IS THE MOST INTELLIGENT PERSON EVER WHICH IS A BIG HELP FOR ME.
It feels soo soo good to actually get things done. Instead of just saying I'm gonna do something and not do it, I did it! I emailed the regional captain of the southern california kerry campaign and now...he's coming as a guest speaker on thursday to talk to my goverment class. This seems like such a small thing, but it's not because I actually got something accomplished. And now, I feel so accomplished. It's like the best feeling ever. Like something just got taken off your shoulder...like...its just great!
Now...I have more to accomplish, I have to get mrs. lynch to sign the paper for the bulletin for club thk and I have to work on my meeting for amnesty the following week. Much to do..and so little time. Wait..I almost forgot..SAT2 writing is saturday. Isn't it funny how I "conveniently" forgot that. Ha Ha. I know I'm gonna do really bad and am gonna have to take it again in November. That means SATs won't be finished till november. But on the bright side, I finally thought of an idea for my college essay. I'm only gonna say that it's about alzheimer's disease cuz I don't wanna anyone jacking my idea. It's mine!!:)
I just sent in the first part of the USC application. It was soo easy to fill out. But..I just can't believe that I've already started the application process. I can't believe that I'm actually gonna start applying to college. It seemed like it would never happen...and now its happening. I can't even believe that I'm a senior. Time seems to be going by really fast.
So this my final list of colleges I'm applying to..I think USC Cornell UC Berkeley UCLA UCSB UCSD UC Davis UCR
So basically...I have 3 applications to fill out which is kinda nice.
I started writing the essay for Cornell today and I started realizing how the applications are gonna be a lot of work with my schedule considering I'm already doing a lot. This will be a very busy semester for me...and all the other seniors 2..
