compete in the Olympics
Well, I have 4 years. Hopefully see you in london... I'll try at least. 15 months ago

I want to do this.
I want to do track and field. I wonder if they have javelin. I also want to do 400m. Maybe long jump.
I wasn’t good at it in high school.
Mostly because I’m fat. LOL.

But isn’t that what the Olympics is about? I’ve always loved running. I’m not as fast as I was when I was little.
But, you know, it’s something to do with my life. It’s a worthy goal.
I wonder how you join? I don’t really want to join the US team… I wonder if you can be a citizen and still join someplace like the Australian team or something. I particularly like france.

I don’t really care about getting gold medal. I just want to compete for glory and achievement, like they did in ancient greece. Didn’t they just get a laurel for winning?

Is it actually worth it? Who are you doing this for? 15 months ago

I missed my diploma by one point.
I got into Rensselaer Polytechnic institute.

Through my experience with college admissions, I think if you fit a college’s criteria and if they really want someone like you to complete their set, you’ll get in. You’d have to do a hell of a lot to change a college’s mind about you, or even give you a waitlist.

Full IB didn’t do that for me. If you’re doing this to get into an Ivy league, think again. (They couldn’t give a DAMN about your cutesy little program.) If you’re doing this to get into a decent, state of the art yet lesser known college, then do it.

I discovered it was worth it for the friends and the rigor.

I really can’t go back to standard or cp classes. Do it for the challenge. Do it for the sleepless nights that you’ll go through with your friends, the few other crazy people that decided to join you.

lol drama.

IB killing my life. 19 months ago

I don’t know if this is worth it yet.

Exams are on May 5. And my worst subject, English, is up. 4 hours of it.
By the end of that day, I shall be in a puddle of tears. xD
This shall be amusing.
I should be studying my lil’ overachieving-arse off right now…

I’m optimistic about biology, spanish, math.
I shall fail history and English.
Art is either way. I have to make up some stuff about what I draw. Lols.

My TOK presentation was terrible. I hate it so much.
But my Extended Essay was Brill. I wish I could have submitted it to a college. I am proud of it. At least right now, until I do my BS or masters paper on Chaos theory.

I’m so tired. I’m tired of learning what they want me to learn. I want to complete my other goals!!! I’m tired of this one!
