    I am incredibly happy because I have found my dream college!! Yes, I am 14 and have found my dream college.


    Corcoran College of Art and Design. *happy sigh* I can major in Photojournalism. It's located in Washington DC, the most beautiful place ever in my opinion and the place I have missed relentlessly since leaving it (i was on a school trip there). It's small, so it's closer and more personal. I can be surrounded by gorgeous history heaven and major in my top passion. And not be too far from home, either. *blissful sigh*

    I didn't know what college I was going to do till the deadline hit my in the face. So I congratulate you and wish you luck when you reach the age of leaving home and uncovering an amazing chapter in your life!

    I finally figured out how to do that thing where you flip your pen over your thumb!

    Believe when I say I've dropped my pen and hit my peers over 500 times last semester trying to figure it out.

    A life accomplishment.

    You're way ahead of where I was- I didn't find my dream school until about a week before I sent my application. My heart had been set on Queens, which is one of my province's best schools, but then I saw the reading list for Carleton's Humanities program.

    Thanks guys!!! :)


    Agreen, it strikes me as funny that I have a quote from Conan O'Brien and you have a quote from Stephen Colbert as our signatures. :D

    Thanks, Agreen! The more I think about it, the more confused I get and the more I question if I'm right or not. I've had this plan for about three years now... and now, only two short months before I have to make a very important decision, I am questioning myself. :rolleyes:

    Glad to hear you got your computer running again --sucks about your music collection though. When I got my laptop a few Christmases ago, I had to transfer about 3000 songs manually... that was exciting. ;)

    Marcel, haha! I've always wanted to know how to do that! :D I still cant snap my fingers.

    Gi, I'm happy that you've found something that fits your passions. There's not really a "right time" to decide on a school or anything, but I wish I had cleared my thoughts a little sooner so that I could have done everything I could earlier to get into universities and not have to be in the predicament I'm in currently. I also wish that I had realized the importance of my transcript a little earlier than the end of sophomore year, and I wish I had cared a little more in my junior year. Whether you hold tight to this school or change your mind in a week or next year, having that goal is going to help you so much. :)

    PS: I've never seen Conan, but I looooove Colbert. He's hilarious.

    Conan is an IDOL. He is incredibly hilarious, and very nice. You should watch him as well--I personally think Conan, Stephen and Jon Stewart should restart their feud. :D

    Congrats, em! Who?

    xx

    I am happy to be involved with one of my friends again. We are going to help each other so much right now... We both need it.
    We've got a vice, the two of us, definitely, and I'll be tightening it, definitely... and I will be much better because of it.

    I'm probably not making any sense, but the thing is --I'm happy! :) And I just wanted to share.

    You see?

    I love it. :) I get to go for free, and the place that is putting on the concert is donating money to charity based on how many people go.

    I hope I get to meet him. *gets starry eyed*

    Oh, so instead of writing for a couple hours, I could have just taken a pic of my computer screen and accomplished the same thing? Darn it! :p

    I am happy because tomorrow Mason gets to see a real dentist, who can hopefully sort out his teeth problems and make him a lot more comfortable. (lets just hope that I am not bankrupt when I get back)

    I have chocolate AND coffee!! :D


    Seriously, aliens could arrive only speaking l337, make it the official language, change the currency to pink bunnies, and make "my bad" part of the national anthem and I probably wouldn't be phased right now. (Once coffee or chocolate ran out the chainsaw would be revving though.)

    I found lesbians! For Chica that is. The little rescue dog who is afraid of men has now been adopted by a sweet little lesbian couple. While I will miss her, I think this is the perfect home for her. I am thrilled she got adopted so fast and that her fear of men wasn't an issue.
