This time tomorrow,
where will we be?
On a spaceship somewhere,
sailing across an empty sea?
This time tomorrow what will we know?
Wil we still be here,
watching an in-flight movie show?
Leave the sun behind me,
and I watch the clouds as they sadly pass me by,
several miles below me,
I can see the world and it ain't so big at all.
*The Kinks*
Today I had an SAT/PSAT prep class. Thinking about all that stuff makes me really anxious. Last year I did well on the PSAT and the ACT - a 206 and a 31, but I'm worried that I just got lucky on the PSAT. I'm so concerned that I stumbled across that score, and this year, the year when it counts, I won't do as well. We did a bunch of practice problems just to put out minds back into that gear, and I did alright, but not outstandingly amazing or anything! My school is starting to force us to focus on colleges on close to a daily basis in some way or another. College fairs, PSAT/SAT classes, colleges that visit the school, lectures in assembly and practicing for them in classes. It just seems like I should still be a freshman, the people who are college sophomores should still be seniors, and college should remain but a dream in my mind. I can't believe that in the next six months I'll have to pick 5 or so schools that I want to apply to and maybe even apply to one or two in June for early decision. I've been at my school since the 6th grade, and it's so weird to think of me outgrowing it when I've been a "little kid" there for five years. Here are some of my college choices as of right now (they change pretty frequently):
1.) New York University is my number one choice, at least for now. The school is amazing, but the art program in particular is unbeatable, plus my aunt is an entertainer there. She works for MTV/actors/designers there so I wouldn't start off totally alone in the city. Plus I'd get to meet some of her clients. ie Sway, Robin Williams, Kate Spade, Paris/Nikki Hilton, etc. which would be really cool.
[The rest - in no particular order]
University of Tennessee
University of Southern California
Boston University
Auburn University
Do you guys have any opinion on these? Thanks!!

NYU and Boston U appeal to me the most. (Oh and USC, :p) Though I haven't really checked any others out. Our careers counsellor is busy working on apps with the seniors so we haven't had much time in school to consider colleges, etc.
YAY weekend!
TENNESSEE!
I absolutely LOVE U of T. My DI team and I have been there four times for competitions, and it's beautiful. Wonderful. Spectacular.
Good luck with college apps! :]
