Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

Momo,

I'm pretty content right now. I stayed home from school today because I felt kind of sick (and my parents were like, it's a pretty useless school day, stay home and study :3) so I've been studying the whole day. Literally. I took a 40 minute break to watch ANTM, and a 30 minute break for my piano lesson. Other than that, I've been studying all the time. I've read through 3 Bio books and taken 2 practice tests. On the practice tests I've consistently gotten 700+, so I'm satisfied that I'm not going to totally fail. :)

Now I'm taking a break to watch Gossip Girl, then maybe I'll study a bit more (I still can't seem to remember all the details about classification, and they're kinda important since I'm taking E instead of M).

Why do you go to so many different schools? It's so random. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE I'M GONNA SEE YOU NEXT WEEK! :DDD CAN'T WAITTTTTT.

So since I've spent the whole day studying, I don't really have anything interesting to say. OH I finally got teacher recommendations! :D But they're in paper form... Now I have to tell the teachers to somehow put them onto the Common App... Eh, at least I don't need to worry about getting them anymore.

P.S. I don't care where we eat, anything's fine with me. I just wanna see you. :) And we shall tour the school because otherwise I will be completely lost on Tuesday. I have no idea what I'm gonna do on Monday though because my dad starts work then so I'll be lonely. :( Maybe I'll enjoy some quality American television. ;D haha

Senioritis, Senior Skip Day, and Senior Citizens.

Rika,

Sucks you have to go to school from 8-4, but at least its still 8. remember, when you get here you have to wake up at freaking 6:00, or if you are me, get waken up by my sister at like 6:50 and start flipping out.
Anyways, so lucky your school days are 10-4, though.
And oh my goodness...my mom gets worried when I sleep earlier than 12-1..LOL. it sucks.however, thats usually because I wait last minutes to do notes. On a typical school night I will go to sleep at 12:00.
School is horrible for me... First, I go to highschool A from 7:20 to 12:30, then i go to highschool B from 1:00-2:30, and then go to highschool A again 'till 3:00.
Today after 3:00, I went to Saher's house to work on a project...then at 4:30 we went to the hospital to feed senior citizens. It was very difficult, and I decided that I would never try waitressing. Anywho, we got out at 6:30, and I just got home now. SO STRESSED
so yea. i definately feel your pain :(

Fortunately, it is a Jewish holiday tomorrow so I have off, and I am skipping school Friday for Senior Skip day. Unfortunately, I have to go to ANOTHER highschool on thursday and friday, Highschool C from 1:00-2:30.

LIFESUCKSLIFESUCKSLIFESUCKS IJUSTWANTTOGOTOCOLLEGE

and btw, I failed SATs...I think you will do fine!...ugh...

EIGHT MORE DAYS!!!

<3 Momo
P.S. That would be wonderful. Do you want to go out for lunch? Your parents could drive, but we could easily walk somewhere! After, I have to talk to the guidance counselor, which won't take long at all! Then I can tour you around the school!!!!

Stress-Induced Rant

Momo,

I'm stressed. Really stressed. Really really stressed. I'm starting to sound like you (or you're starting to sound like me?) with the whole "I'M NOT GONNA GET INTO COLLEGE" thing. But seriously, I have SATs on SATURDAY. That's in like 3 DAYS. And yea, they're the subject ones (Bio, Math 1, Math 2). And like, I ordered this Bio SAT Study Guide thing a while ago, and it arrived like last week, but last week I had to study for bio and chem tests so I didn't have time to study. So basically, I have to learn everything in that 400 page book in a week. OH and I have to do all of the homework we get from school.

My day yesterday:
School from 10-4. Got home. Did math homework. Studied for SATs until 8. Wrote chem lab report. Did practice SATs until 12. Got pissed off remarks from my parents for staying up so late. Got pissed off myself because it's not like I even WANTED to stay up until midnight.

And for tomorrow I should write a commentary/analysis about a poem and read 4 chapters from our book. In addition to studying of course, because yesterday I took a practice bio SAT and my goal was to get at least 730. Let's just say that my result was nowhere close to that... Oh, and tomorrow my school day is from 8-4... THE JOY.

ap93847398qurj WHY DO I STILL NEED TO DO HOMEWORK? ISN'T IT ENOUGH THAT I GO TO THE CLASSES, I'M LEAVING IN A WEEK ANYWAY, UGHHHHH.

TOO MUCH STUFF TO DO.

NOT ENOUGH TIME.

I HATE THIS.

I DON'T WANNA FAIL SATS.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

<3 Rika

P.S. We should totally meet at 12, I'm sure the meeting will be over by then. :)
I'm just want it to be next week already, then all of this will be over.

MAN, I LOVE COLLEGE, AY! ASHER LIED TO ME

RIKA,

COULD WE MEET UP AROUND 12ISH? THATS WHEN MY LUNCH STARTS. I AM FREE FROM 12:00-2:30! ERICA ALSO HAS THAT LUNCH.
ANYWAYS, YEA DREXEL. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY SAFETY SCHOOL UNTIL I FOUND OUT THAT IN MY MAJOR THEY ONLY ACCEPT 28/400 APPLICANTS. SHIT. I'M NOT GONNA GET INTO COLLEGE. I HATE MY LIFE.
CURRENTLY, THE NEIGHBORS ARE HAVING ANOTHER HOUSE PARTY...I HEAR TECHNO MUSIC...IT ISN'T HAS LOUD AS USUAL BUT STILL.
BUT DUDE, I FEEL LIKE I'M NOT SMART ENOUGH. I SEE PEOPLE WITH LIKE PERFECT GPAS AND 2400 SATS, AND I'M REALLY SCARED I CAN'T GET IN...
AND WELL, YOU KNOW MY SCORES...
ARE YOU TAKING SAT REASONING OR THE SUBJECTS? IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE TAKING THE SUBJECTS.
I TYPE IN CAPS AND START HIGHLIGHTING THINGS WHEN I'M FRANTIC, SO FORGIVE ME. THIS PHASE WILL HOPEFULLY BE OVER SOON.

<3 MOMO

P.S. THE ONLY WAY YOU GET A RECOMMENDATION IS BEING ANNOYINGLY PERSISTENT.
P.P.S. NICE SONG.

College: Love It and Hate It

Momo,

I'mma be there on Thursday already, at like 4 or something. On Friday we're meeting with the school at 11.

I know what you mean about college, I'm so freaked out. College is gonna be so fun, but the application process is scawyyyy. One of the teachers I asked to write a recommendation keeps avoiding my request.
Me: "Could you write a recommendation for me?"
Teacher: "Uh, I have to consult with the IB coordinator about this."
Next week
Me: "Even though I'm leaving, I still need a recommendation."
Teacher: "Yes, I got a message about that, but I still haven't talked to the coordinator."
So basically, I've gotten nowhere with her. With the other teacher it was so much simpler!
Me: "Could you write a recommendation for me?"
Teacher: "Ok."

Ugh, anyway, I have NO idea what to write for the essay! w8au39p8u4a :(
Haha, Drexel, that's my backup school. They sent me this email like "You're VIP at Drexel" and then they waived my application fee and stuff. Preeeetty nice. ;)

Yesterday I read The Glass Castle, it was pretty good actually. I liked it, even though the family was incredibly dysfunctional. I was surprised at how interesting it was because usually school books are boooooring.

I also spent like 4 hours typing up a study guide for the SAT Biology test. Now I have 41 pages of stuff to memorize. I also have 2 chemistry lab reports due, 10 chapters to read from our English book, and a Math test on Monday.

Now I'm gonna go do my Bio homework...

<3 Rika

P.S. This is a pretty song, I like it ^_^

I can live without you, but without you I'll be miserable at best! :(

RIKA,

THIS IS JUST A POST TO TELL YOU HOW PSYCHED I AM FOR YOU TO COME.
I'M JUST A MESS RIGHT NOW. I REALLY NEED TO GET INTO COLLEGE.
LIKE SERIOUSLY. DO YOU KNOW HOW SAD IT IS THAT THE CULMINATING POINT/BEST POINT OF MY LIFE WILL BE GETTING INTO COLLEGE....
LIFE SUCKS.
UGH
ADSJFALKSDJFLAKDSJF
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
REALLY :(
ANYWAYS. MY QUESTION TO YOU IS ARE YOU COMING FRIDAY MORNING OR AFTERNOON? BECAUSE I'M FREE FOR LIKE...2 AND A HALF HOURS DURING SCHOOL, SO IT WOULD BE COOL IF YOU CAME. LOLOLOLLL.
UGH IDK WHAT TO DO WITH MY LIFE.

<3 MOMO

Why my life sucks even more than before

Rika,

WOW. Neighbors had ANOTHER house party. GO FIGURE. COULDN'T SLEEP. LOUD MUSIC.
THEN, apparently, my mom tripped over my computer cord.
So my stuff on word documents saved, but stuff I was working on, on the internet...DID NOT.
meaning my short response for common app and my DREXEL ESSAY.
Neither of them were super long, but took TONS of time and THOUGHT.
and I'm immensely pissed, because this is not the first time this has happened. My mom once deleted a 12 page essay. I know.
The thing is, on this computer, the cord is pretty much in an obscure area where you wouldn't go...
Why does my life suck so much?
Oh, and since I'm getting fatter, my mom won't let me eat chocolates anymore.

<3 Momo

P.S. good luck on SATs and i'm jelly of your chocolates.
P.P.S. NEXT FRIDAY!!!
