Hello, strangers

Well. It's been quite a while, I guess, since the last time I wrote. Since Christmas, in fact. You'd never know that the biggest New Year's resolution I made was to write at least once a week...But anyways, my long absence can attest to the absolutely horrible couple months I've had by way of never having any time to do anything because of yearbook staff obligations, being debilitating sick for a week, and going out of town for a few days to visit a college.

Oh, college, you fickle friend you. It seems to be the way of those to build up your hopes of attending with an acceptance letter and praise for great academics and leadership and then smash them all the bits by offering up a scholarship that covers not even a fourth of the cost. And you know, they have to deliver the news that they think you're amazing, but not amazing enough to actually give sufficient money to by way of giant envelope filled with gold confetti and script "Congratulations!" *sigh* Oh well. At least I have a few choices. I'm into five schools so far and would actually go to three of those (girl school and intense tech school excepted). Hopefully by April 2nd I will have all my acceptance decisions and some more funds to work with so I can make a decision. Just a few more weeks of uncertainty.

There's always a call for updates on my personal life, so here it is, quick and simple. Got over crush from last year more or less (that was my other new years resolution), have a new guy that's super cool (he's teaching me to fist fight!), basically happy the way everything is right now, still need a date for prom which is coming up pretty soon (have to take someone from my school, want to take old crush and go strictly as just friends.) That covers most of it. Mhmm.

You might have noticed the new layout. I got tired of the pink earlier this year and changed it. I'm not quite sure if I really like it, but we'll see. Mixing things up never hurts.
