I Should Blog Often

Gah, I've been so lazy blogging for a while now. Well there hasn't been so much to tell since my usual day is told through Skype. But then again, I'll just explain whatever it is I left out on this blog. I rather not leave my bloggie alone for a long, long time.

Just last night, I submitted 5 Cal State University applications without realizing I had errors -.- This morning, I printed my CSULA [Cal State Los Angeles] application to show to my college counselor on some of the errors I made. She and another counselor both looked at my application and I knew from there that I would feel so uneasy speaking to them. I rarely talk to them about my college plans, so it wasn't a comfortable conversation. I was put on the hot seat as my college counselor asked why I didn't go to her for any assistance regarding my application when I KNEW that I should have done so. I guess that people have turned theirs in sooner than I did, I felt that I'd be missing out. Although the deadline is November 30th for both UC and CSU, I automatically turned mines in without thoroughly checking it twice. So yes, it was my mistake for sending it in when I should have waited a bit longer. I was told that I can print out my applications and make clear corrections on it; write a letter on the errors and fax it to the admission office of the 5 CSUs. Oh by the way, I paid $275 using my dad's credit card for every $55 application. Seriously, I'm thankful that my dad let me use his credit card. I'm for sure going to pay him back sometime this week with my own summer job money. I just wanted to get these applications over with, but this time the right way.

I decided to not attend my last homecoming dance simply because very few people attended. Even if I should have gone, I had plans on the same night anyway. My dad's friend and his girlfriend came over for dinner along with two of my relatives. I was recording a chubby bunny video when both my mom and cousin walked in during the recording. It was funny yet really random so I didn't bother editing that part. Most people who commented my video found it funny when they showed up. Speaking of chubby bunny, some of us on Skype had a chubby bunny showdown on stickam. Oh wow, it was amazing but deadly. Sunni had about 15 marshmallows while I had 13 but it dissolved in my mouth as we took turns. I'd like to do a rematch, but that would be...next year LOL! Or at least when it's a good time to play again. At the end, the marshmallows made me gag.

As some of you know, there are two wildfires in southern California right now. One in Diamond Bar and one by Santa Clarita. I don't know how these started, but I'm assuming it's bad weather or just an imbecile purposely throwing his or her cigarette in the forest and caused a fire. Those are possibly some of the causes of this. The wildfire has been spreading, especially in Los Angeles. That's why it hasn't been as cold as I thought it would be. Last time I heard, more than 800 homes have been destroyed. That really sucks...but I am thankful that it hasn't really hit our area, but just the bad weather. I do hope that those who are going through this difficult time will find a way to get out of it. It's horrible that we have to go through these climate changes at this time of the year. I really want the fire to go down sooner than later...

I have a few minutes left before this last class ends for the day. I get out early tomorrow and Friday because it's parent conference night. Oh joy, I'm going to get the same grades [or not] for this progress report. I'm hoping that I do get a passing grade for AP stats by the end of this semester. I have about 6 weeks to make it up and thankfully my percentage isn't as low as those who have absolutely no chance of passing. So pray for me guys 'cause I really am in need to pass. Aside from that, I have to turn in my draft for that newspaper project. I think I'll submit my draft by Wednesday since I have yet to finish it.

I know that I've mostly talked about my school life from my past blogs. What can I say...my personal life has yet to be exciting. So if there's any new events occurring, then I'll mention it. But I would explain on Skype before I blog here.

  1. omgosh!! I was reading about the wildfires and one of them was started by a Student Bonfire that got out of control.They thought they put the fire out before they left. I don't think they're gonna get in trouble thought because there ws no "malicious intent". Still sucks though cuz like 1000 homes are gone and the fire is still goin too.

    Goodluck with college stuff, i hope you get in somewhere you want Abby! :]
