To everyone who reads my blog:

I'm going to the University of Illinois for sure next year. (My parents and I chose it over Carnegie Mellon; I'm not just stuck there or anything.) I thought that was an important enough thing to write down here... :P

I guess I'm not really into blogging much anymore. Perhaps when I get to college I will be. If I tried to blog now, the entries wouldn't end up telling you too much more than what Facebook would.

life's planned out

I'm going to minor in design! It'll be great!

Back to writing scholarship essays...

Answer me in one word.

I've been working a lot on college apps today. While stopping by Carnegie Mellon's website to find their policy on supplemental teacher recommendations, I noticed that it got totally remade! FINALLY! It used to be one of the lamest college websites ever, but now it looks pretty good. I suppose it's worth noting that the undergraduate site hasn't changed, but that looks all right anyway.

After dinner, I'm not going to the dance, but I suppose I will stop by Luke's house to buy his sister's stuff. By Thanksgiving, I'll be done with all of my college app stuff (my dad made that decision), so I'll be able to do fun stuff even more often.

I have not posted in awhile. This is mostly because I have been fairly busy lately. Last weekend, I went to Indianapolis to get interviewed by a University of Rochester guy. That was kind of cool. (I also went shopping.) The weekend before that, I stayed overnight at Grinnell. At the moment, my college list looks like this (in order of preference):

1. Carnegie Mellon
2. University of Rochester
3. University of Illinois
4. Wash U (a distant fourth)
5. Grinnell

There are some days when I really want to go to one of my top three... but most days I want to go to CMU the most.

Anyway. Tonight was Senior Night for volleyball. It was ridiculous. Perhaps sometime I will scan in part of the program because everything about me is absolutely correct.
