Ahahahahaha! I am completely done with school forever! until college. Which is just about the most exciting news EVER! *does dance* I have also managed to pass all my classes, and not become too very addicted to Battle Edge, although I'm still inclined to believe that that one's a losing battle either way I go.
Also, I am completely immersed in the worlds of Pratchett and Gaiman, specifically the one in which they coincide, called Good Omens. Read it. Really.
Well... Graduation is tomorrow, and I have to be up at 7 ish, so I should sign off now. Hooray for pointless posts. Now bed.

Another Procrastination Rant
Yep, this is me, putting off my homework yet again.
I think I may have senioritis.
This has been an interesting week. I was off visiting various colleges over the weekend--Ursinus and Drew, which I got into, and Muhlenberg, at which I was waitlisted. It was interesting. I couldn't remember a lot about them, so it was nice to have a second look. I didn't really like Muhlenberg the second time around, so I'm not planning on sending back my waitlist card thing. Ursinus and Drew were the ones I was seriously considering, and it's pretty much down to the two of them now. There are pros and cons...
Drew:
Pros:
-Really, really great theatre program
-Lots of trees
-Housing is really pretty nice
Cons:
-Academics...not so great
-Kind of preppy
-Annoying technology thing....
Ursinus:
Pros:
-Really good academics
-Awesome campus
-Awesome people
-Just put a lot of money into theatre--building all shiny and new....
Cons:
-Theatre program still really small
-Not sure about housing
-The name. I mean, seriously. Who wants to come home with a sweatshirt that says "Ursinus?" It sounds like a decongestant, or a disease you get from bears.
Can you see the kinds of issues I have to put up with?

Why my brain shouldn't be allowed outside without supervision
I logged on with the intention of making this a random compilation of news and thoughts on news, but I've just found that I have nothing to say. I suppose that is not, in fact, entirely true. I have quite a bit to say, but I can't remember any of it.
I suppose I should start with a follow-up relating to my last post. I did, in fact, get into college. I applied Priority Select to Ursinus and Drew, and Ursinus sent me an acceptance letter (in a THIN envelope--bastards) just...I dunno... a couple weeks ago, I guess. It's a great place, despite the unfortunateness of the name. That's pronounced er-SIGH-nus. That's right, it has the word sinus in the name. Get over it. So far everyone I've seen read the name has looked at it and said "yoursinus?" and I'm like "no..." I'm pretty happy about it, though. It's a great place.
it is past 11:00 pm and I haven't slept properly since I got put on show crew, so my typing skills are deteriorating exponentially. So this is where I should sign off. I'm not sure what the point of writing this was. Maybe it was to rearrange my thoughts to try and make better sense of them, maybe it was to put off finishing my homework (OK...on second thought, it was definitely the latter).
All right, that's it. I really need to get back to work....

Well, I'm back...
It's a new year, everyone! and I'm still alive!
*audience groans*
So, anyway, about the whole "New Year's Resolutions" thing:
What's the point?
I mean, seriously, what is the point? We all know we're going to break them. And if we resolve to try, well, how is that any different from last year? And if you make serious decisions that you really are going to try and keep--won't you just become depressed when you don't? "Dammit, I resolved to lose ten pounds before June and I didn't! Bugger!" What kind of motivation is that? I don't think I'd get very far with motivation like that.
*sigh* I should resolve to not make blogs. I never write anything interesting, which doesn't really matter because no one reads it anyway. I should also resolve to stop watching choppy episodes of Psych. I mean, it's still in the first...minute and a half at most. And it's frozen eight times. Without restarting for ages. But I'm watching it anyway. Is that wise? no. It is undoubtedly the biggest waste of time that I can think of. It doesn't even restart after five anymore, it pauses for more than five. But it still pauses every five seconds (or maybe a little less). What am I supposed to do with that?
Complain on my blog.
In other news, I was just in District choir. We had the most brilliant director. We were the highest scoring singers in the district.
Basically, it did not go well. Star-spangled banner was brilliant, and it was the first one. I knew something was wrong during the three flower songs, which were less than perfect. But the moment I really knew we sucked, I mean SUCKED, was during "the Wild Honeysuckle." It has this big, amazing, climactic ending, in which we sing the line "For when you die you are the same."
I was thinking we could rally when we got to the big climactic ending. Everyone always loved that ending. But then we got to it.
"For when you die you are the SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSame...."
We sucked. We sucked so bad even the parents noticed (and we know how bad they are at noticing when their kids are bad). TK must have hated us by the end, but he was still smiling and aknowledging us when the concert was over. I wanted to yell "TK, you don't actually have to do that. We sucked. You know we sucked. We know we sucked. It's OK. Say we sucked."
He didn't say we sucked. But he should have.
I should probably end this post here, but I'm in a slightly emo mood, and I can't quite put my finger on the reason. So I'm just going to ramble on. And on.
Actually, I'm going to talk about college apps, and how they've ruined my life. I think I may never, ever want to read or hear the question "What will you bring to this college?" EVER AGAIN. (although I must say the chances of this are slim).
I wish the episode would unfreeze.
Well, I'm going to end this here. Hope it wasn't too horrible.
