I didn't even send an app to Harvard. They would've definitely laughed at my application. Either the app has incredibly nice SAT scores, nice GPA, or the student or the daddy makes over a million bucks a year to become a beneficiary. I think that's how it works. I had none of that. Ha. But strangely, I'm in college. I think it's a fluke. It was a lucky fluke. I think it would be pretty hard to study there... probably with a lot of snobby, smart people. Not cool.

That's why I don't want to go to smart colleges. I'm afraid that they'd be all snobby and then I wouldn't have any friends. Stupid smart people and their groupies! I haven't takne the ACT or the SAt yet, I'll probably take those at the end of my junior year. I probably won't do good, but I'd like to stay in an honors dorm wherever I'm going to go to college at.

Yeah... the ivy league here in the West coast USC, we call University for Spoiled Children. It truly is... I here you basically pay a crap load to go to the school and it's hard to get in, but you basically get your degree handed to you... well, I think it depends on your major. I hated taking the SATs and ACTs... it was worse than pulling teeth. lol. You can tell I'm not exactly the studious type. I even started prepping sophomore year, but that didn't even help me.
I didn't stay at the honors dorms in college... I know someone that did though. She was incredibly nerdy and her dormmates were all really, really competative, lol. I hate that. The first dorm I was at was full of all sorts of majors and they would go out partying almost every night... while I had to stay at the dorms to finish my work... and I couldn't sleep till the wee hours, because it was so loud. I eventually moved to the architecture dorms, where I knew more people from my classes, who were a lot more chill and were going through the same work ethic as me. I even got to room with a friend that I met earlier in the year, which was super awesome.

I'm prepping right now for the ACT. Mom got me this huge prep book and wants me to read it all. It's a bunch of crap!
I went to my sisters college the other day because she forgot her extra case of contacts. Her dorm is really nice. But she's staying in a sweet with 8 other girls. She says they're funny. I know her roomate and she is indeed hilarious. Whenever I go to college I hope I'm in a room with someone I like and not some freako person.

Argh... I tried to stay away from the prep part of tests, but that never ended well. Well, just bare through it and everything will be alright. Eight other girls?? I hope they're not all in one room. I only needed to room with one other girl when I was in the dorms. I actually went through 3 roommates. It sounds bad, but it really wasn't. My first roommate butted heads the first day we met each other, because we were completely opposite... our beliefs, majors, opinions... I tried to make it work, but everything around her was so fake. She moved out into another room on the floor while I was home one weekend. I call that akward. But it was for the best. The second roommate was kicked out of another dorm because her roommate told on her... apparently she had drugs and alcohol. I guess my mom found out and then called the higher ups and they called me and asked me if I wanted to move to another dorm. I ended rooming with my friend. It sounds like a big nightmare, but it turned out alright. I guess it would've helped if I knew someone from high school to room with, but starting new, knowing no one at all in college actually helped me meet a lot more new friends. I probably know more people and hang out with them in college compared to high school. There's no history with anyone. Wow, my rant went way to long. Sorry. hee hee.

There's eight girls in one big sweete. There's a room a,b,c, and d. There's two girls to each room. There's two bathrooms as well. The clash of the roomates! Ha. I'm afraid that's what'll happen to me, but I guess I could switch out. It would be for the best!

Okay, I get it. I never really liked the suite idea cuz I'd only be exposed to those other 7 girls, but it's good for others. Don't worry, I'm sure what happened to me doesn't happen very often to others. A lot of my friends ended up just staying where they originally were.

I wouldn't want to be in a huge sweete either. But my sister got use to it. Anywho, I found the trailer to the new movie We Are Marshall. My sister went to college at Marshall and my parents went there too. It's about the football team in 1970 I think. There was a plane crash on the way back from one of their games and all 75 people on board were killed. I thought I might share it since we're talking about college at the moment. movies.yahoo.com/feature/wearemarshall.html;_ylt=At591NKu.KYwRCVc9k1qb5JfVXcA

Ah... when I went through my freshman orientation, the leader of the group told us about how John Madden went to my school and during that year that he did, our football team was on a flight to go to a game and they crashed and died too. That's weird. So they say that is why John Madden never flies, because of that incident.

I wouldn't want to fly ever again! I flew a couple of times before 911 , but I don't think I've flown since. It creeps me out.

I know it's kinda scary to fly after 9/11, but the probablilty of dying in a plane crash is slimer to a car crash. There are less chances of colliding into things... I guess. I went to China with my family 2 summers ago and that was a 13 hour trip just to get to the mainland. And then we spent two weeks flying to different cities within Asia, because that was the fastest means of travel. Believe me, I feel more safe in the air than in those stupid tour buses on hours end... driving in China is insane! And I wasn't even driving! ha ha.

I'd hate to see all the roads in Tokyo then! Those buildings are all cramed on that island and all the road signs would be in Japanese! I'd get lost for sure. I've always wanted to go to China though.

All I can say is that don't go to Asia in August.... like I did. lol. Bad choice of month. It's ridiculously humid like no other and there is little air conditioning in almost all of the old buildings. I could never see myself living there. I don't speak Mandarin, which is spoken in most cities, but I understand Cantonese... so that helped a bit. I couldn't read signs, so that wasn't very helpful. I was watching 2046 yesterday and it was weird, because these characters were speaking to each other in different languages: Japanese, Mandarin, and Cantonese. Like, someone would speak in modern Cantonese, but the person would talk back in Japanese. It was a weird movie.... in one shot, it would take a lady literally, 5 minutes to bring a cigarette to her lips.... I just fast forwarded. lol. I guess I'm impatient.

That movie sounds helplessly confusing! Like Syriana! That movie was so hard to follow! The ending is good though. It's kind of scary in a way.

I tried watching Syriana a while back... I was really, really confused. I still don't know what was happening.

I had no idea what was going on either. My dad explained it to me. The USA people blew up that car at the end, but the guy that was in that car's brother had a bomb himself. So the USA people will think it was his own brother that blew it up. Just shows how terrorist might not be the only suspects. That's all I got out of that movie!

Yeah... politics and war are two very confusing subjects that I will try to stay away from as least as necessary.

Everyone needs to forget all about the politics and just vote for whoever they want.. like Conan O' Brien for example!! Will Ferrel as President would be the shiznit as well!

Definitely... vote for whoever they want. I saw V for Vendetta the other night and that was radical as anything could get.

V for Vendetta is the shiznit! I love that movie! Me and my friends want to get a whole bunch of people and dress l up like V on Halloween. Then we'll walk the streets like in the movie. That part was awesome. Remember remember the 5th of November!
