Hi all. This week was meh. But that's ok. Yesterday Hollywood Video called and said they needed someone who could close. Meaning an 18 year old. Meaning not me. I wonder how many times I've been turned down now?

On a happier note, I also got accepted to Ball State University yesterday. It's in Indiana. They're the first college I've gotten a response from. Yeah.

I'm going to the play tonight. I hope it's good.

I think that's it. Bye, all.

So day off today. And I'm sitting here. Updating my journal. My goal today is to finish all my remaining college applications. Which means writing 2 or 3 essays. Yeah right.

I wish we had tomorrow off instead so I could sleep in after staying up to see Ralph Nader win the presidency (wishful thinking).

I wrote a song today about freshmores and juniors stealing my right of way when I'm driving to and from school. It's inspired by a true story.

I'm thinking of going job hunting. Even though I said I was thru with it like 2 weeks ago. I'm a flip-flopper :p

I'm playing telephone tag with Hollywood Video. Yesterday they left a message about scheduling a job interview. I called them back today but the job interview person wasn't there so I left a message. I hate phones.

[edit]
The job interviewer person just called back. I'm going in for an interview at 5. Let the freaking out begin.

Um I think that's it. I hope everyone's having fun.

Whining
School was supposed to be easy today. But it ended up being really hard. I didn't have any coffee this morning. And I learned I can't function without it. Even if I don't have to do anything. Also, Fred tried to kill me. Really. I almost passed out during psych. I'm going to steal a line from George Orwell and say there is nothing worse than physical pain. But I'm ok now.

Thank God.

Well?

I am running on fumes. And have been for the better part of the school year. It's starting to show.

Yesterday when me and Rachel were going home from Kristy's we were going around a curve and all of a sudden there was a stop sign. I slammed on the brakes and we almost skidded into the other lane. And through the stop sign. I don't remember if anyone was coming. It was scary.

So I went to U of M today. Again. I found out my chances of getting in are really iffy. I learned how to do bold. Because I'm smart.

So this is a letter I'm writing to George W. that some people asked me to post on here. It's quite scathing (sp?), so if you like Bush or don't want to hear about politics or whatever don't read this.

Yet more college reviews. When will it be done!?
I'm back from the exciting state of Indiana.
Yesterday we went to Ball State in Muncie. It's not a huge college, it's about like central MI. But it's really cool. They have at least 2 or 3 statues of naked chicks on campus. But that's not what makes it cool. The campus is really pretty and like a park sort of. And some of their dorms are super environmentally friendly. I got the Mayan holy book at the bookstore.
So then today we went to Earlham. Its a little school in Richmond. It's a Quaker college, so they're all into equality and pacifism. Which is awesome. And I saw a flier there that said "Do more than vote against Bush. Send him a pretzel!" I think I will. There were also a bunch of "Shut down the school of the Americas!" fliers. They have a lot of stuff going on for such a small school. Yeah, cool stuff.
I just realized I have yet to strike any colleges off my list.

I'm officially a loser.
So I went over to Barnes Research today to apply for a job. And got rejected.

Yes, you read that correctly. Barnes Research wouldn't give me a job. They'll employ almost anyone (no offense Ben and Jackie) but not me. Ouch.

So probably this means I won't be able to find a job anywhere. Except maybe Mcdonalds, where I refuse to work. I'm so fucking sick of this. I've been looking for a job since like spring break and what do I have to show for it?

The real world hates me. And I hate it.

I give up.

I'm debating whether to go to tailgate. I drove to school today to skip the homecoming assembly and then I didn't skip. Because I'm not as rebellious as I wish I was. I went to the park and got soaked after school. It was worth it.

Hopefully I'll see y'all at the game tonight.

I just got my new drivers lisence so I can drive (legally) after midnight now. W00t! That is all, I think.
[edit 6:16]
If I ever have a daughter I'm gonna name her Fjorra. It's the Viking version of my name in French class (Flora). Me and Rachel made it up. Actually, mostly just Rachel. By the way, you pronouce the j like an i. Yeah.
