The past two days have been good days. I actually got stuff done! I'm really happy about it ^^
Yesterday, I finished a rough draft of my Princeton/Yale/Rice essay. (I can use the same one for all three, hooray!) I basically talked about the culture clash I experienced growing up and my struggle to find my identity. I honestly thought it was one of my better essays (in terms of the description/story-telling), but it still needs quite a bit of editing. I'm at over 800 words... >.> I always write too much, even when I try not to! It's frustrating. Ah well. Better to write extra stuff that I can cut down on later than be staring at an empty page, I suppose.
Today, I didn't get the chance to work on any college stuff, but I did print my binder covers for school! They look glorious. I'm really happy with how they turned out :D I also entered all the important dates into my brand new planner. (And speaking of planners, I swear I'm going to make a better effort to use my planner this year. I say that every year, but it's actually going to happen this year because there's absolutely no way I'll get through this year by keeping track of everything in my head. I've got way too many things going on for that.)
Welp, I'm pretty much ready for school. All I have to do tomorrow is pack my bag. And go to bed early. Time to get used to waking up at 6:45 a.m. every morning again...
Also, today was the most fantastic day because I made really fantastic progress on my fundraiser! I crossed the $1,000 mark! *does happy dance* (Only by a dollar, ha, but it still counts.) I'm so so so happy about it. Hopefully, this means I have a chance at the Young Reader Award this year!
Also, for any of you who are curious as to which fundraiser I'm talking about, here's the link to my webpage:
