What's the best way to spend a rainy day?
Submitted by Vee.

Inside and bundled up under blankets with the AC turned down until it's really cold. And then nap.

I've been doing that for the past two days :D

NO MORE PROGRESS ON COLLEGE APPS, GAH. I'm so entirely busy this weekend too...I'm afraid that I won't even finish by the early decision deadline anymore!!

What are your weekend plans?

Work on college applications and study for SAT2s. Ahaha.

I AM ONLY HERE BECAUSE LIVEJOURNAL IS CRAPPING UP ON ME AND NOT LETTING ME UPDATE MY COLLEGE APP LJ D;

Yeah, so I'm totally not liking UPenn's prompt because I'm not creative.

4a. Describe the courses of study and the unique characteristics of the University of Pennsylvania that most interest you. Why do these interests make you a good match for Penn?

5a. (optional but I'm doing it as a back up because I know the mandatory will turn out like crap) You have just completed your 300-page autobiography. Please submit page 217.

And then there's UT's prompts, which I can completely fudge because I'm already guaranteed in thanks to the top 10% law Texas has. I don't think I will, because I'm applying to BHP (their Honors Business program) which is extremely competitive and they'll probably look at this.

A. Describe a significant setback, challenge or opportunity in your life and the impact that it has had on you.

B. Many students expand their view of the world during their time in college. Such growth often results from encounters between students who have lived different cultural, economic, or academic experiences. With your future growth in mind, describe a potential classmate that you believe you could learn from either within or outside a formal classroom environment.

Problems: I have no idea which classmate of mine I could learn from. I can't find the essay I wrote for my AP English teacher last year which would totally save me from writing Essay A. AHH!

It'd be fun to graphically show my progress...fot me at least, since it would provide me with small breaks. I did find that essay I wrote for my AP English teacher last year, so that saved me probably 3 hours of writing/being distracted! I have like one sentence of Penn 4a and I have no clue what I'm going to do for UT B. But the good thing is - I'M HALFWAY DONE!!

I have to get ready for a football game at 4:30 XDD Who knows, maybe I'll do some drafting in my brain during the game.
