Quick update while I procrastinate on figuring out which character is which in A Tale of Two Cities lol
People actually talked to me on Tuesday at school! :-) It made me happy. Mornings at school have sucked lately but I'm hoping now that's fixed.
Dad called Wesleyan hoping that if an adult called they'd pay more attention to him than they have to my messages and letter. Well, turns out he just picked a good time because my admissions councelor actually answered the phone for once. So Dad talked to him, nicely, but saying basically that we were dissappointed with the lack of response, especially when I was promised a phone call before Thanksgiving break and I still hadn't heard back from them. So the admissions guy was really nice and appologized, faxed me the form immediately, and told Dad that I'm the only one signed up so far. That also means I got my first choice time slot, Feb. 20, a day we have off from school, so that's nice. However, they're only giving out three scholarships this year (as opposed to 17 last year), and I dunno how many people will apply for it-depending on how many of them were in the same situation with me, and whether they call and get in touch with someone or if the Wesleyan people decide to call the people they were supposed to call a few months ago lol. So I'm kinda nervous. And the sheet says that I'm going to have a bunch of 15 minute interviews, adding up to about 2 1/2 hours. That's a lot of talking lol. I guess that just means I'm going to be meeting with a lot of people who will hopefully ask me a bunch of the same questions.
I am writing the most random Beatles story EVER for creative writing. It's based off an old inside joke type thing and I'm throwing Beatles titles all throughout it. It's really corny and stupid and not well written but honestly that's what people in my class like to read so I'm going to do what they'll like. I'm so fed up with that class that I just want to get my last grade in and get it over with. It doesn't matter how good it is anyway; we get a 100 if we turn a paper in. I'll post the story when I'm finished.
I finally started thinking about driving again...seriously this time...It's the first time I've ever told people that I was thinking about it. I was still scared though, because every time I start thinking about it, someone gets in a wreck. It's happened several times. Just before I took drivers ed, my grandmother was killed in a car crash. It creeped me out and it was a big reason that I decided not to do the driving part of the class for a while. I thought about it a few times, but every time I did, someone was in an accident. So I was worried that if I started considering it again, someone else would get in a wreck. Of course, everyone told me it was just a coincidence, that it's not like the accidents were supposed to be a message to me to not drive. I brought it up to a few people yesterday evening.
Melissa totaled her car last night. A ton of people were late to school today because there was another accident near school.
What does that mean? Am I really not supposed to drive? What if it really is a sign? It's happened so many times and now I'm scared.
Comments appreciated.
Anyways...English time...
