    The time is looming... 2 weeks ago

    I think I got this whole college application process worked out. Almost.

    I feel like I got my “short list” down, so to speak, but for some reason, I do not feel confident taking this thing off my list.

    See, I got the for sure schools down:
    • SDSU, ‘cause everyone in SD applies to State. Besides, there’s this guaranteed admissions program that I’m in, and I wanna make sure I get into at least ONE college.
    • UCSD, ‘cause it’s there.
    • Stanford, ‘cause we all need a dream school to give us (extremely limited) hope.
    • Berkeley, ‘cause my Asian heritage seems to require it.
    And I got these schools, but still wary of saying “definitely”:
    • Cornell. Looks nice, but can I deal in a small college town? Hmm…
    • SF State. It’s SF, okay place, but, as my mom says, why leave town to go to a State when SDSU’s right there?
    • Long Beach. Good design program (so I’ve heard, at least…), but is there any chance I would choose to attend this school?
    • Cal Poly. It’s the nice State school, but like LB, would I really attend this place?

    So, I’m certain that these things will get sorted out in time. Until then, I got my essay that I wrote for English in one hand, and an empty space where my application money should be in the other hand.



    I'm taking a gap year too... 2 weeks ago

    establish residency in Maryland and to save money. For several years I have wanted to go to University of Maryland College Park which is in the part of Maryland I am from. I just graduated from High School overseas and originally I was going to go to school in Arizona where I am currently a resident but I realized how much I hated it there so I am going back to Maryland , becoming a resident, going to community college for two years, and then transferring to University of Maryland College Park



    Untitled 3 weeks ago

    I’m already dancing DNCE 152 (Ballet I). I start MATH 101 (Intermediate Algebra) on Monday.
    I’m unsure of what I will be taking in the fall. Biology, English, psychology, sociology, and perhaps anthropology and philosophy. The last two are not prerequisites for nursing but they are included in my general education. I hope to also take ballet I again (I thought I would be taking ballet II but that is supposed to be very difficult).
