I’m a dumbass, but I was sending a lot of e-mails really quickly, and it’s for a school I’m probably not going to attend, so whatever. Plus I sent a note right away to apologize.
…yeah, my self-justification isn’t making me feel any better about this.

Sorry about pouring out my problems into a text post and all that—it’s not like it’s going to change anything—but I am really, really anxious right now and need to write it all out, if only for myself.
So my grandmother’s been in the hospital since last week with serious heart problems, and she’s still in fairly serious condition. Hopefully she can go home some...

LFC are Carling Cup champions, but holy fucking...
—what a way to do it.
I feel enormously for Cardiff and especially Anthony Gerrard. They fought hard, and by no means did we “deserve” that win.
Still, a trophy is a trophy, and I am delighted for Stevie, Kuyt, Carra, Skrtel, Johnson, and all the rest, especially Lucas.

accepted to Wooster with a 20k/year scholarship...
and the coach has been e-mailing me about doing an overnight after she saw me play at Disney.
Unfortunately, I’m 99% sure I’m not going to go there, but I hate to tell her flat-out no, especially when I’ve only heard from two other schools so far.
edit: and holy shit, 16 people already liked my status on Facebook about that. the ~power of social media

This, so much. I’m sick of hearing people say casually, “That test just raped me,” or shrieking “Rape!” when someone else tackles them playfully.

Literally spent the entire day on my laptop, writing essays and finishing the Presidential Scholars thing and watching that China video for GoPo.
Basically my eyes are about to fall out of my head.
