A new Era

March 31st was the day. Here are the results. I would say not too good but very good because I got my "first" choice.

Acceptances first:
Univeristy of Michigan
Boston University School of Management
Wharton-University of Pennsylvania

Rejections:
Yale
Harvard
Princeton


I have more rejections than acceptances but then when a girl tries to take a chunk of the best of the best she has got to brace herself to almost definitely handle more failures than successes. I could pet myself and make myself feel good applying to safety schools but I ain't gonna go to any high places with that. But what is my obsession with places of prestige? They're juicy and out of reach. I guess they calls to my desire for competition and recognition. And where did this desire root from? I feel guilty that I have it, but I will not change myself and dampen it.

I have slackened off BIg time 3rd quarter. My perfect high school record of straight A's has been tainted by 5 fat B's on this 3rd quarter report card. I figure this semester doesn't matter to me anymore and I know for certain I couldn't get a C. B's are nice and easy to maintain. A's take a little extra effort. Only now I am feeling really uncomfortable with so many of them. Regardless of whether they matter or not I am going to try and raise them all to A's by the end of this school year.

Ok so I am excited for the month of April and a little bit about May. First, this Saturday I will be leaving on a campus visit to UPEnn. I want to check out all the classes and the NROTC program and all the dorms and residential programs.
And I will be returning 6am on Wednesday. Then a week and a half down the line I have an exhilarating trip to Cali for 6 days for BPA competition. It has been my first time returning there since I moved from it 3 years ago. SO it's like 2 hours from where I used to live. I might find time to stop by and greet my middle school buddies before they all bud off in seperate directions for college.

My mom is taking English for Second Language classes and she wants to be a home-based salesperson for Arbonne facial products. I am proud of her; she is learning to become a smart independant woman!
