Rule #1 when a horse throws you: Get back on the horse.

This doesn't apply to motorbikes, though

The rule there is kick the motorbike!

Talked to another adviser today about switching to INT. Didn't really learn too much more. She suggested I go talk to someone in the INT department xD no one can help meee~~

Ah well, at least I'm like 99.999999999% sure I'm switching.

Mmmm... so I planned on being done with personal statements by the end of September, and while I'm two days behind now, I went from random paragraphs all over the place to seven essays today. It was a huge copy-and-paste job for some schools, but it worked.

I decided to apply to Harvard as well.

I don't know. All the schools I applied to are great schools, and I didn't bother looking into safety schools because I figured that if I can't get into a place I really want (all the places I'm applying to), then I'd rather wait next year and re-apply. My biggest weakness would probably be my writing sample, which I wouldn't have as much time to work on as I'd like... but if I have to re-apply, I'd have my philosophy senior thesis by then.

I don't think you'll have to wait until next year -- you're more likely to have to choose between a few of your top picks.

I wish school was 3 days and weekends were 4 instead of the other way around.

My family doesn't realize that just because I don't have class doesn't mean I don't have work to do.

Then again, it's not like I push them away xD it's just as much my fault. I miss playing with the baby and stuff when I'm doing homework or at work ;.;

BUT I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT MY GRADES AND MY FUTURE D<

I get caught up in the present and then regret it on Sunday nights xD

I messed up my performance today asjdfhkljhfsldjfhajskflhajsfkalshfjaklsfhakjsfhakjsdhfjksda.

I mean I didn't mess it up, but I went under the time limit. Seriously, wtf. Every single time I practiced I went OVER, but when I actually perform, I go under.

I think I just spoke way too quickly because I was one of the last performers and my professor was kind of rushing us.

But ugh. I never want to perform again. ;.;

So...

I got 100 points on my performance.

I was so happy, I almost cried. My professor took responsibility for rushing me, so she didn't take points off.

But seriously, not many people at all got full points. Not even people who've had experience. I'm so pleased. It's given me confidence to do the rest of my performances xD

Congratulations <3

I got 100% on my pharmacology exam. It was super easy, but to me there's still a difference between doing well and getting a perfect score. xD I mean, it was all short-answer questions as well.
