Made it into Georgetown!

At first I didn't want to write a blog about my acceptance because that seemed kind of bitchy and attention-seeking, but then I realized I don't care! I just got in! LOL Actually, this post is more to share a funny anecdote from today.

Right after school, I raced home to check the mail, and it hadn't arrived yet, so I had to find a way to distract myself. I texted Jaya to see if he needed a ride home. When he told me he was staying after to help out with decorations, I went back to school to check out the mock wedding.

I chilled out there for a while, but after about half an hour, I started getting antsy again, so I dragged Jaya out of the room and to my car. Then, I drove back home (perhaps speeding a little...jk) and raced to check the mailbox. Again, nothing.

I knew that the mailman was somewhere in the near vicinity, so I dragged Jaya on a chase through Fox Meadow to find the mailman. Luckily for us (mostly Jaya), we found the mail truck in the second street I searched. I proceeded to accost the mailman and coerced my letter!

I wanted to drive away in case I didn't get in (actually put the car into drive), but figured it would be rude to do that, so I put the car back into park. I opened the envelope, saw the green slip of paper, didn't even bother reading and ran out to tell the mailman. I would have hugged him had it not been so cold outside :P

Anyhow, that's all for now because life goes on, even if I

I AM APPLIED to Rutgers and Georgetown. Officially.

That's basically all I got for stressing and perfecting until my teeth hurt, but who cares? because

This is why we aren't going to get into college

There is an advantage to blogging; I have a bank of truly random anecdotes to pull from for my college essays. I think I'm going to use pieces of There is. It's called captcha for my Georgetown short answer, and I used posts from a previous anonymous blog for one of my Gtown essays. The short answer asked about my most significant activity in or out of school, and I was thinking of how if I were to be 100% honest, I'd say it was stalking on facebook. I said that to Eric, and he told me how an honest person would go ahead and do it. My response:


[10:11:26 PM] annabanana: but they also wouldn't get into college
[10:11:42 PM] annabanana: it would be one of those things where the husband admits to cheating
[10:11:44 PM] annabanana: the wife goes
[10:11:47 PM] annabanana: thank you for being honest
[10:11:52 PM] annabanana: now i'm going to divorce your ass

Therein lies the dilemma: colleges want your essay to be honest and to reflect your voice, but they neither want the truth nor someone with a stupid voice.


I really should be doing work right now instead of blogging but I try not to go too long without writing something. Sometimes I feel bad for taking the time to write these when everyone else is so focused on doing work, but then someone will message me about something they just read in one of my posts, and I feel better knowing other people aren't working either.


I was just talking with Jess on the phone after having finished my first essay:

me: I still need to write the last essay. What about you?
Jess: Oh that? I gave up on essays! 
me: Don't worry about it. When's the MIT one due?
Jess: Tomorrow...
me: oh
Jess: This is such a funny quote! (proceeds to read random lines from a website)
me: What site is it?
Jess: I'll send you the link
me: Cool!
