College and a bunch of stupid people

I've spent much of today researching colleges instead of unpacking like I was going to. I think I'm fairly well off in the college application readiness department, seeing as I've been looking into colleges and preparing for deadlines since almost a year ago, but today I wanted to look over some colleges I never really looked into and start listing the college essays. Then I started my common app and realized that I've got about 11 colleges I'm applying to. My mom said I could apply to five in the end, so I gotta whittle that figure down a bit. Two of those 11 are women's colleges. I refuse to attend a women's college. So now I'm down to eight. Honestly, I only want to go to one school, Emory University, and if I don't get in there, I don't care what happens with the rest of my life, but that isn't a good philosophy. Sooo I have to like more schools and then I keep liking more schools and my mom says "oh, this school is good" and then I add that and the list keeps building until I'll be up for a month straight getting everything ready for the November 1st deadline (or Oct. 31st in the case of GA Tech). I got rid of a few colleges this morning that I couldn't think of why I ever liked them in the first place, but then I also added another one after talking to one of our old family friends who went there. I guess I have some time to work that junk out.

News just in, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince movie release has been postponed until July 17th 2009. Give me a minute to release my frustrations: !@#@@#!@#@$^%$#@^#$%@%^)(*&^%$%^&*^%$%^&%^&ET$W. Okayy. Warner Brothers' reasons for the postponement are that the writer's strike caused delays in the scripting of other movies and since summer always brings in a ton of money, they'd wait to rake in the dough. Now this comes after they've released the trailer and completely whetted everyone's anticipation. Can you say stupid muchh? Now it'll be two years between movies because WB wanted some more money. Hmph

I'm watching Scream right now and it's amazing how dumb those girls are. I should make my own horror movie to show all those chicks how to live when psychos are after them.
