| wow.. i am very proud of myself for this one ^^
I got around to finally making a layout.. and actually re-learning how to work with CSS and html! :D
and.. i really love how this layout came out XD
This layout features a priest from the MMO, Holic Online (click)
Holic is currently in Open Beta testing, so it has a few bugs here and there that they need to fix.
If you guys ever played WoW (which i didn't).. Holic is like.. a korean version of that.. only, with less races to choose from. lol XD | | |
|  "Gosh, I'm Bored >.>"
Another day of being home from school. That's 5 school days :O
At least my voice is pretty much back to normal (although i still can't say things in a high pitched tone like the way i was able to two weeks ago O_O;;)
Now it's the coughing fit phase >:|
Hopefully i can go to school tomorrow (well, i'm not exactly complaining, but~ i don't like getting alot of homework after coming back from many days of being sick because i tend to not make-up most of the work depending on the class *cough* Pre-calc *cough* >_>) | | |
|  "Somebody Kill Me Now! T-T"
Well, no.. I don't actually mean that >.>
This shall be a rambling blog about my "problems" because it helps relieve my stress by typing this all out. ^^
It's just that I'm not 100% sure what i want to do anymore. My college deadlines are coming up in a month, and I have no motivation/idea as to what to write about in my college essay.
Ever since I was in 1st grade (I was 6 years old), I told everybody, "I want to be an animal doctor!" or "I want to be a veterinarian!" I was sticking to that career goal, and I didn't really have to try in school; despite my laziness and procrastination skills that I have acquired since before I was born (I was even born 3 days late!).
All of a sudden, I had an epiphany back in October 2007 (yes, just 4 months before). I finally realized, I don't think I can handle becoming a veterinarian. The more I thought about it, the more I truly believed that I did not want to be one anymore. I realized that my otaku-ness would get in the way of my "studies." Well, I've learned about this weakness back in 7th grade (age 12). I decided that I would still go to college and take courses like Studio Art, and stuff related to that, along with some computer designing or something. Maybe I might still major in biology, but I don't know >.>
I could've had my college applications finished before December 1st. You guys want to know what stopped me? That's right. Just as I mentioned back in Paragraph 2, Sentence 2. My essay stopped me. I was actually NOT procrastinating on subject as important as college. HOWEVER! It's my |=00k!/\/9 essay that's holding me back!!! DX
When I first started my college searching, I had 6 or 7 colleges on my list. However, many deadlines were in december/early january.
I've narrowed it down to 2 colleges now (both deadlines in March):
- Arcadia University (Pennsylvania)
- Pace University (New York- the Westchester County Campus one)
I also had an idea :D
Since I am rushing to do this stupid essay in time, I might as well NOT do it and go to the community college near me (OCCC) for at least a year. My guidance counselor looks at that school as if it is the college for the last minute people, and the underachievers >:\
It's because anyone can get into that college. No need for essay, no need for SAT II's, no need for Teacher's Recommendation letters.
My friend told me it's a good plan to fall back on if I can't do my essays on time because I would find out what I'm actually going to do with my future if I go to a community college first. I thought it would be a good idea too because I would be able to have something to write about for my essay by the end of the semester (at the least) if I went to OCCC. I was going to use OCCC as my "plan B" if I ended up NOT getting accepted into one of my two colleges because of a crappy/rushed essay >:|
Of course I never said I wasn't going to try to get this essay done. It's not like I've been ignoring it. It's been bugging me since September/later summer.
When I told my mom about my "plan B" she was... hmmm.. upset >.>
She basically said flat out something like, "A community college? No. Do you know how much Carol is pressuring me and dad about your colleges? And remember what happened to Charlie? Just try to get your essay done."..... "I'm not trying to pressure you or anything. I'm not going to be a parent who says to their kids 'you have to do this or this!'.. Do what YOU like. You have alot of potential."
Just so everyone knows.. Carol is my older brother's dad's (i call his dad, "dad" btw) business partner. She's badgering him about colleges. And you know what he's been telling her? "Yeah! Don't worry, me and Stephanie have been making ALOT of college visits up and down the east coast. She's handed in a handful of applications! :D"
|3u775h!7!
It's also his fault that Carol's nagging too! I've only made ONE college visit with him (and just one college visit all together). And that was down in Coral Gables, Florida at University of Miami. One of my 1st choice colleges. The deadline for first years there was January 15th 2008.
If my mom is "not pressuring me" and is letting me choose what I want.. then why can't I use my Plan B if chances are that I don't get accepted?
It was kind of depressing because when she shot down my plan B idea, I was waiting for the next round to start on Gears (I was dead when I was talking to her). So I was trying to play and have fun.. but it wasn't working T-T
I was either killing more violently than usual, or dying faster/easily. So at the end of the match I said by to my friends and said that I needed to work on my college essay.
And here I am. For my college essay I originally planned on using the "A Significance That Happened In Your Life" essay question. But back in December I decided to choose the "Person Who Has Influenced You" essay question. Obviously I'm going to use my mom because she's always been there for me.
So why haven't I started it yet? Because I don't know what to write about! There's too many things that's she's helped me out with. My list is infinite. Writing an essay that has too much going on, is just as bad as writing a rushed essay. That's why I'm also having trouble on what exactly to write about.
Another thing. I want to do my college applications. But my guidance counselor said that it's easier for him to have to application sheets with him (I think it's easier too). But my whole family procrastinates! I was supposed to visit Arcadia twice! and Cornell once! never happened. If I have the actual sheets, it is sooo much easier to handle.
I could also print out the sheets from the websites if I have no choice (I don't want to do it online), but I want to VISIT the colleges! Maybe that's why I didn't get so far either. It's because my mom has been busy with the house, and.. idk what i was doing >.>
If I could drive, I would've visited the colleges near my area already.
Hopefully, later this week I can visit Pace University (since it's near my grandma's house).
Today I'm gonna try to work on the essay as much as I could.
(btw julian.. still didn't get CoD4 yet! DX)
