I feel Marvin's pain, and not just down his side either.

Dear Lily
Posted Mar 17, 2006
Congratulations, the letter in the folder said in easy to read print.
I got accepted at Bowdoin College! I was invited to spend four days on the campus on an all expenses paid "Bowdoin Experience" trip (plane ticket will be paid for) and I think Dad might really agree to let me visit the school even though it is overnight.
My sister made it in too. Same total awards too. Whoopee! I'm so happy.
I emailed my Bowdoin interviewer promptly and she was quite thrilled as well. I cannot sleep now.

College Interviews
Posted Jan 25, 2006
Bowdoin Interview went rather well last week it was funny because it rained while she asked me "what would you miss about your town" and we both looked out the window and sighed
then we gabbed about Chamberlain I was so nervous at first I messed up 1875 for 1975 but she and I got to talking and it was quite mind-boggling apparently four generations of her family went through Bowdoin and the college was well-endowed enough to purchase its own island off the coast of Maine by one of its alumni and the uglest season in Maine's in the spring where once they spray painted the grass green
Mr. H stuck his head into the guidance office where we were closeted for a private interview and his light blue eyes widened then he pointed his finger at me and said "she's INCREDIBLE!" and retreated
"Is he a teacher?" my interviewer seemed surprised when my guidance counselor replied he's the technology supervisor
speaking of technology, hardly the semester ended and so I hear from my twin that he's got something for us to work on when we get back from Friday in Advanced Vid. Productions next (this) semester
Friday's my U Chicago interview at 11 am. it'll be over the phone so I can appear relaxed in bed

Oh friends,
Egads but it has been a while, has it not?
Today I realized that, almost five years of french later, I can't remember what a box is in french. We were translating with Spanish and French today to communicate with our night janitors and I suffered a mind blank as I'm trying to ask him to discard the boxes of our cats... w/o looking inside.
In the meantime, something spectacular has happened.
Last sentence sure got your attention, did it not?
Am listening to Killswith Engaged and just sitting in front of the screen. I'm pleased to write that I've recieved some great ideas for Medraut from my Muse, who was or so I suspect spending her sweet time inspiring others while leaving me behind. But no more talk of doubts, the point is that I've grown beyond my own laziness to continue with the imperfections that make me constructive.
Got my graded paper for Reed all ready. My teacher pointed out some grammer/syntax mistakes and awkward phrasing but she complimented me on my own "voice" but also showed me how well she knows me, yet another might think my paper is unclear because I alluded to too many things in different turns of phrases. Overall, the suggestion is that I "either have to be less specific or more specific" and the latter was strongly recommended. I'll have a look tonight when I re-edit.
I've found out I really like Daysend. Over the weekend while studying for my Biology and Physics finals I went on a spurge of Musicals and immersed myself in The Lion King, Les Miserables and The Phantom of the Opera. 5 cd's on shuffle/repeat and a quick perusal of Gone With the Wind later, I became 
enough to tackle some rotational dynamics problems.
You thought that was self-indulgence, did you not? Well, today was the last day of exams for me anyway since I found myself exempt from Issues of Conscience and Senior Project (though I still need to formalize that lab for next [this] semester's honors biology sophmores)so I do not have to go to school tomorrow. Anyway I've tried to ask permission for taking the exam anyway to get one more point but my teacher advised me not to "once you reach a certain level the only direction you go is down, Lily"
ah well I won't then. Saddens me today as I left the biology classroom how it's my last time being nervous and stressed with a great teacher. I'll miss the pressure, for she's pushed us hard as she could. She's magnificent. We placed our class photos in jars so "you live in a jar" forever in her lab. After-bio Party tomorrow at 1 pm @ Garrett's, his parents really are awesome folks. It's snowing now but I hope it rains so we could relax in his hottub with the rain splattering into the bubbles like it did last year.
School's joining as a chapter for helping with Sudanese Internal Displaced Person camps, all the proceeds will go to Doctors W/O Borders, as for the needy and the Darfur women as they are forced to go out of camps to get firewood and supplies and are raped and if they're old they would get beaten. Men however are killed if caught by janjaweed or military so it's the less evil for women to go.
I reckon there is a hell and somebody famous once said hell exists on earth. It's times like this you're wondering, and wondering. There's a legislations passed by senate but not by the House yet so contact your Representatives if you have a mind to.
On the book side, I did finish A Feast For Crows but for anybody who hasn't started The Song of Ice and Fire series yet (which is [insert your pick of strong vehement approval] good) won't spoil it for fear of being smited by avid G. R. R. Martin fans who simply hadn't the chance to borrow or buy the 
as of yet.
I once read that the tme to end any narration is when it fulfils you. As I have no more will to write or do anythign but to listen to Creed for a while instead of U2 and some rock ballads, I'll end my journal here tonight. Take care, my friends!

my resolution is to smile more than 4 times a day which is the average for adults
It's not quite sunk in yet that in a few months I will be eighteen
However, there is much for me to do still
Such as my homework on the Cambodia genocide 
or the 7 -10 page thermodynamics paper for physics
or my muscles lab for biology
Why am I procrastinating?
It's such a nice day out isn't it?
I went outside during lunch laid my backpack against the tree propped it for a pillow and my coat on the snowy ground and fell asleep listening to new songs on my mp3; a girl stuck her head out the window and woke me up with "the bell rang!" in time for class
why was I outside? I had speakers because my headphones were messed up but I got new headphones so cheers it was a good nap
