HELLLOOO!!! It's been so long since I've posted, but I have a good excuse! That you already know actually, so I'm going to skip typing it out because I'm laazzzzyyy.
Ooooohhh, GUESS WHAT??? ..................I'm kind of considering making another blog..... Heh heh. Probably a tumblr, where I just post awesome, thoughtful, hilarious, philosophical, and beautiful quotes from amazing literature! What do you think? I think it would be fun and a great excuse to read through all my favorite books again... What do you think? A good idea? Let me know. ;)
So what's goin' on with you?
OMG, also: I might get to come up again for another visit later in February!!! We'll see. :D

I'm not crying anymore!!!!
ELOISE, GUESS WHAT???? AAAHHHH!! I'm happy. :)
I really need to talk to someone about my happiness so I'm going to talk to you! I've been trying really hard to not discuss this stuff with my friends at school because it kind of sounds like bragging to me, but since I've known you so long, I know you'll understand, plus I really want to tell you and get your opinion!!
As I may or may not have told you, I took the PSATs early a little while ago, because my school is just weird. I was super nervous at the time cause I was convinced somehow I'd do worse on them than the actual SATs that I took in 8th grade, but in the end I kind of did really well. I scored in the 99th percentile of my grade (:D) and something like the 98th percentile of the next grade up (though in the back of my mind I keep thinking: 98th??? Definitely room for improvement, idiot.) What can I say, the little voice in my head is kind of a bitch.
Anywho, after I got my scores back I kind of forgot about it... until Thursday. All of a sudden, a bunch of my friends started telling me about emails they had gotten from colleges about their scores, and I was super sad because I hadn't gotten any!! The little voice in my head kept saying, "Wow, you haven't gotten any recruitment emails? Obviously no colleges are interested in you. Have fun working at a gas station for the rest of your life..." To which I feebly responded, "But... But... I know for a fact I got better scores than them! I should have at least a couple emails!! Right? D:"
And so for the rest of the day I was utterly depressed. Then, I got home and I went on my computer, all ready to drown my depression in instant netflix, when the screen turned on and it was open on my email. BEHOLD!!! College recruitment emails!!! AHHHH!! I was all "OHMIGOODNESS, EEEEK SO HAPPY! THE WORLD OF COLLEGES DOESN'T HATE ME!", while my little italics me was all "...Really? You got all upset over not receiving any emails BEFORE you actually checked your inbox? Stupid..."
But even bitchy me couldn't ruin my happiness. Okay, I know it's not actually that big of a deal, but I'm still over the moon about it. One email even told me that I should skip the next two years of high school and start college early! Obviously I'm not going to do that with IB and all, but it was still a great boost to my self esteem, which had been lacking for a while now. :)
Here is a list of the colleges that have contacted me so far (!!!):

Here is a list of the colleges that have contacted me so far (!!!):
- Colorado State University
- Carleton College
- University of Chicago (!!)
- Kenyon College*
- Colgate University
- Macalester College*
- Olin College of Engineering
- Williams College
- Whitman College
- University of the Pacific
- Barnard College (!!)
- University of Denver
- Bard College
- Swarthmore College
- Dickinson College
- Washington University
- St. John's College
- Lewis & Clark College (!! I actually talked about L&C with your dad the other day...)
- Emory University
- Case Western Reserve University
- Creighton University
- Willamette University
- Colorado School of Mines
- University of Portland
- Mills College
- Seattle Pacific University
- Fordham University
- Boston University (!!)
ISN'T THAT EXCITING??? AAHHHHHH!
* These two had the COOLEST recruitment emails... Like ever.
This was part of Kenyon College's email:
RIGHT??
And then the email for Macalester College was just a picture of an orange with a purple space background and an arrow in the middle under the words "peel here".
When you click it.. guess what happens? I'll tell you: a giant orange hurtles into space, unpeels itself to reveal the Earth underneath, and then it looks like this:
And then it looks like this:
And ALL of this happens while hilariously dramatic music plays in the background. It's pretty great.
Conclusion: I feel a little bit better about my future. But now I have to stop thinking of colleges because the harder I actually think about it all, the less happy I feel... My god, life is stressful.

I AM crying.
I HATE YOU!!!!!!! AAAHHHHHHH. Well not really. I'm just jealous of your freaking fantastic day... GUESS HOW MY DAY WENT? Badly. >:( Sit down my child, and why don't I tell you a story?
I was so convinced that today I would also have a snow day that I neglected some rather important homework, thinking I'd have all day Tuesday. But I guess the big guy in the sky had other plans because guess what?It rained. All night.
When I woke up and saw that there was NO SNOW, I just wanted to collapse in a pool of bitter tears, but just as I was settling in to wallow in my own misfortune, an amazing thing happened!!
I checked my phone, and saw that I had received a voicemail from my french teacher that had gone unnoticed! I listened, and guess what?? Her school was closed, and therefore my North West french class was canceled!! So I jumped around and around and then suddenly it hit me that this would really only give me an extra 45 minutes to do my homework since on Tuesdays I have my short French class that's only an hour long!!! So then I fell back into my previous despair.
Forty minutes later, just when I had begun to accept my sad, sad fate, my mother called up to me to come downstairs and look out the window, and BEHOLD: sweet, glorious snow was pouring down from the sky and I was mad with ecstatic joy! It really was incredible snow...
So thick and heavy that within just 5 minutes, everything was under a beautiful blanket of white!! A miracle sent down from heaven, yes? Yes? YES? ........NO.
NO, NO, NO. It was the universe flipping me the bird (and I'm not talking angry birds here) and saying, "MUAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!! SEE THAT, PATHETIC HUMAN CHILD?? I'VE GIVEN YOU SNOW!!! AFTER YOUR SCHOOL HAS ALREADY MADE THE FINAL DECISION TO NOT CLOSE." So then I said, "Screw you, universe. You're wrong anyways. My school is going to see this snow of epic proportions, and it's gonna change its mind and close early! I know it, I just know it!!!". Ohhhh what an ignorant fool I was, Eloise. What an ignorant fool...
I went to school because after checking its website, I found the evil harpies who run our prison hadn't changed their mind. But I figured it was only a matter of time before they came to their senses, so I left expecting to be back in only a couple of hours. Guess what happened next? The universe decided to be an even bigger bitch.
First, on the drive over, the bridge was up. Like, it was split in half and suspended perpendicular to the road, in the air. So we had to sit and wait for it to come down, making me late for my second period which had STILL not been canceled!!!! I arrived to this second period to find out that, due to my lateness, my teacher had not only marked me tardy, but that there were also no seats. So I had to sit on the floor. And the floor, thanks to the rain and the snow and the consequential mud... was not clean. Ick.
Then, since the universe was obviously feeling a little bad for me, it tried to cheer me up by giving me a high five...
To the face.
Everyone in my class, including my teacher, told me the school had decided to release us early at lunch (before the class with the homework I had not done!!) and I was over the moon. I was foolish enough to think that my luck had turned... But boy was I wrong. The early closing was a rumor that turned out to be completely false, and we did not get released at lunch. No. We. Did. Not. Instead, I went to my next period after eating some very gross chicken with lots of cartilage bits in it, and found out I had forgotten about homework for that class as well. Yep. I am not kidding. And so that sucked. And then it started raining. And then I had to go to my next class, where I also did not have the homework. And then FINALLY the school day was over, along with (or at least I thought...) my horrible luck.
That's when I got a text from my mom, that I would have to walk down town to my dad's office instead of being picked up. So I went outside and discovered that, just to rub it in, the universe had decided to make it rain really, really, really hard. After the initial irritation, I thought, "Hah! Jokes on them... I've got my handy dandy... UMBRELLA!"
I found out 30 seconds later that I had left my umbrella at home. And 15 minutes after that I walked into the office building, looking like I had just stepped out of a swimming pool.

Universe... If you do not deal me a better deck of cards tomorrow, I will personally knee you in the balls. Thank you, that is all.

4. My mom is going Company crazy!! Let me explain (though I think I've already told you this): Company is the spring Musical we're doing at school. And she reeeaaallllyyy wants me to get in. She's acting like a Chinese mother. So far, she's set up voice lessons for me with Tamara, bought me all the music on CD, ordered me the sheet music and is renting the video of the performance. Yep. We're listening to it right now. And another hundred people get off of the bus...
5. I started my sketch blog!!!! Check it out! I think you'll like my sketch from Jan. 5th... ;)
6. AHHHH!! So here's the big news. :D :D :D Ahem. If the invitation is still in existence, I CAN COME ON MLKJ WEEKEND!!!! And we can write! And I can meet PT Calypso! And maybe some of your other friends. Maybe even... Mr. Rubix Cube? ;) Eeeek! I'M SO EXCITED!! So talk to your parental unit!
So yeah! Those are just the things that automatically come to mind... Let me know what you think about #6! Byyyeee!!!! Have a great Friday night. I saw that you intend to spend it sleeping. Well...

Ramblings from various locations.
Hey Eloiseeee.
I'm sitting in econ right now, trying to figure out what stocks I want to buy with my imaginary $24,000... Honestly, I'd kind of just like to buy a bunch of imaginary shoes. But my assignment calls for stocks sooooo...
Now I'm sitting on the bus. Two teenagers are gossiping in front of me and I'm feeling pretty lonesome... Ooh but here's something that cheers me up: you know the person I told you about? Not the lunch one, but the drama one? We'll call him Mack. He went out of his way to talk to me today, even though the play is over. :) Made me feel like I might actually stay friends with some of my drama groupies. Although weirdly enough he didn't say anything at all to me yesterday when I was actually in class with him. Maybe because the person who I am now calling Anna was there? I don't know why that would matter though. But it's the only explanation I can think of.
Well my stop is coming up! Bye for nowwww.

I too am wasting my time doing this right now. GO PROCRASTINATION!!
My friend, there are so many things I need to tell you! And so many of your communications that I have to respond to, but this is the one I'm going to conquer first! I too have barely done any homework. Only economics. THAT'S IT. I haven't even done my applications yet!!! What on Earth??? What is wrong with me?? I am going to have to do ALLL my english homework tomorrow AFTER my auditions tomorrow! Oh, by the way, I haven't done my application for this audition either. YEAH. But of course, I have started the second Hunger Games book.
