Gettin' Closer 3/12/2001
I heard some very disturbing news today. One of my very talented friends, Alex, got rejected from one of her first choice schools. Well, she got into the school, but not the music program. That worries me because I truly thought she would have no problem getting in. She's sooo takented, she has SUCH a beautiful voice, she's smart, she has a 1240 on the SAT's, strong essay, recommendations, and lots of extracurriculars. So, if she didn't get in, where does that leave me? Yeah, yeah, I know I'm a different person with different talents, and a different board of admissions looking at my work. It's just, my SMART friends are having a problem getting in, and I'm kind of worried.
My stupid fking school never told me that when they told me they'd be sending in my transcript, they would not include my senior grades in the transcript unless I specifically requested it. I started getting letters in early March from Boston U and Brandeis that my application was incomplete. When I went to inquire about this at our guidance office she simply told me, "Well, you never requested senior grades to be sent. It's not normal procedure." WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S NOT NORMAL PROCEDURE??!!! ALL SCHOOLS DO IT!!! So now, in addition to my two spelling errors on my University of Rochester application, and my low SAT's, my senior grades, which kicked ass and could have really helped my chances, was never sent. I fking hate my school. And Alex, who had perfect applications, and everything was is order, was rejected. I know I could transfer if I don't get into the school I want, but there are so many complications with that. My credits may not all transfer, I have to get resettled in a new environment, I can't join any sororities at my old school because they may ot have that sorority at the school I'm transferring to. UR is a small school, and it's hard to be the new kid in that type of environment. And somewhere in up-state NY, there are a groupf of people looking at a test score I took almost a year ago, my grades, my prized artwok, and my botched application are deciding/have decided a major part of my life. It's gettin' closer to end of March/early April...
I have been complaining a lot, haven't I? I'm usually pretty bubbly and upbeat, but I get like this when I'm really stressed and upset. Well, I do have some good new. My parents went to a surprise birthday party for my mom's cousin, and they were discussing the bunch of us going on one big family vacation. This may sound dorky, but I'm really excited!!! I love my little cousins, they're so awesome! It's so nice to be revered, even if it is by 5-12 year olds. We're going up to the Catskills for a weekend. My older cousins will be there too, and my mom said I could even go drinking with them (in the hotel, of course). There's a dance club in the hotel that the older cousins will go hang out at later in the night. During the day, I'll go swimming with my cousin Jamie (my favorite cousin) and all of my other younger relatives. We're probably going to go in June, which'll be awesome. I'm really very excited..:o)
Until next time
