Welp. Yesterday, I didn't have the chance to make a post because I went straight to bed. Today was my final day of volunteering at Harris Methodist in Fort Worth (which was really fun! I'm going to miss everyone so much~), but for that, I had to wake up at 6 am this morning (which was not fun).
But yeah. That's basically what I did all day today. While at the hospital, though, I did have time to think about my essays and stuff. I wrote a bunch of notes down on a piece of paper, and I have to transfer them to Word, but I'm too tired and my brain's not working at a high enough level to do that right now. So instead, I'm typing this blog post (which is actually a lot of fun, to be honest) and saving that stuff for tomorrow morning.
Also, random, but I've still got nearly 10 books to read. I'm almost done with two of them (1984 and The Picture of Dorian Gray - and before you ask, no, they're not required summer reading, and yes, I'm reading them for fun. What can I say? I'm a nerd), in the middle of one of them (The Search for Spock) and have yet to start the other seven. What is my life. -____- At least I'll have plenty of time to read on the bus once school starts.Ugh, school. Why.
Another random thing - my brain is just all over the place right now, so this post is basically going to be me rambling at you about completely random things that are not connected in any way, shape, or form - but I feel like I'm going to try bargaining with my dad for schools. As in, he wants me to apply to Penn and UC Berkeley (which I really don't appreciate because a) we both HATED Penn [why he still wants me to apply, I have no idea] and b) for Berkeley I'd have to fill out an entirely separate app, which is a 'no thank you' in my book) but I'd much rather apply to places like Johns Hopkins (I actually didn't consider them at all at first because they're really well-known for their med school and not as much for undergrad, but I spent nearly two hours on their website and blogs reading about them and I think I'd actually like it there! I mean, seriously. Seems like a cool school. Besides, I was reading a blog of this guy who double majored in literally the exact same things I plan to double major in- bio and stats. HOW COOL IS THAT?!?! /sorry i just get really excited about those two subjects okay). Also Tufts. I really really want to go to Tufts. It seems like such an awesome place where nerdiness is not just accepted, but encouraged and actually flourishes there. There are so many Whovians/Potterheads/Trekkies though! It makes my nerdy side ecstatic. I know for a fact that I would fit in so well at Tufts. No other school I've seen so far has been so transparent about their admissions procedures (the Tufts blogs are amazing, I swear) and so incredibly welcoming and friendly. I just LOVE that they do that.
Yep. This prospective Jumbo wants to become a real one.
And wow, can I just say essays are incredibly frustrating? I hate writing essays. I feel like my writing ability has deteriorated over the years (which probably isn't true, but it sure feels like it). I really just wish I were a better writer. Then, at least, I wouldn't be so worried about my chances of getting in into at least one of the colleges I like.
