unicorn random

Preface: I'm in a really good mood right now but also short on time, so this will probably contribute to lack of cohesiveness.  Also, I have a weird obsession lately with unicorns. I blame Krista Horner.

PART 1

Considering how much school I've missed in the last two and a half weeks mostly due to a really bad sinus infection and basically every single joint in my body hurting to the point where I'm limited in moving, today was a REALLY productive and good day at school. I managed to get everything organized finally, which I've been needing to do for a super long time but things kept being pushed my way.  I'm hoping that within the next week, if it productivity stays like it was for today, that I'll be mostly caught up.

PART 2

I finally got enough nerve to shred the paper application up and apply online to SC.  So that's a thing.  Now all I have to do is write my essay, which you'd think would be pretty easy for me considering how I enjoy writing and blogging. BUT IT'S SO MUCH HARDER THAN THAT.  I have absolutely no idea how to write about myself technically.  Although, it's mostly just coming up with interesting transitions to transition from my points, because let's be honest, when they ask for some back ground information about you plus your goals in life AND how the school can help you achieve them, it's a bit difficult to come up with transitions that are just run of the mill. I guess I'm just making this too difficult on myself. I just really really want my essay to stand out.

PART 3

I'm pretty much recovered from taking the ACT on Saturday.  It didn't feel like it took four hours, but I guess that's all because I was so focused on it.  To be honest, I'm sure my scores are pretty horrid looking. Except for the grammar, it's basically like proofing a paper, and that was really easy. Especially since it was multiple choice, I like multiple choice questioned tests.

So once we get the feedback from ACT it'll be sent down to SC and, allowing that I've already sent my essay, the admissions office will look at my application.

PART 4

I once, a very long time ago, thought of majoring in English.

NEVER.

PART 5

I currently hold in my position my good friend's keyboard piano.  And of course, considering piano is something I'd like to learn, have been taking advantage of having it in my posession.  I'm so committed to learning that I managed to talk my mom into getting an adult beginner piano book from Amazon.  Also, my best friend Jessie, she gave me some sight reading books to practice with since I was never good at sight reading to begin with.

PART 6

Remember when I said I was going to give blood a while back? Yeah, I survived, obviously.  And today I finally got a letter from the American Red Cross.  It was basically a letter thanking me for donating and the statistics of young adults and children who need blood, and how most first time donors never donate again.  I mean, that was cool and all, but I got a special card with my name and blood type on it for future donations. I think that's the moral of this story. Is that I have yet another special card to carry around with me.

PART 7

I'm. so. excited. for. NaNoWriMo. to. start. already.

PART 8

The show is going...good.  We're behind since we started a couple weeks later than we normally do with musicals.  But I've got my costumes lined out and things.  Now I just remember the dancing, music and when to go on stage.  Oh, I still need to learn how to BE A MAN. It'll probably come more natural once we start doing runs in costume.

Today was awesome because: it's been super productive.
