This week is like one of the best weeks ever of school (except for today, today was just normal) because this week we have to take these like CA standards tests (CAT6 or STAR or STAT9. Whatever they're calling it these days. They tend to change it like every year). They're basically like the SAT except 500000000 times easier, and they have absolutely no bearing on your future, so they're stress free (well, and they also test science and history which the SAT doesn't, but whatever. As I said, the results don't matter at all). So because of these, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, we have altered schedules. Tuesday and Wednesday we don't have school at all, just the tests. So, this is what my schedule this week looks like:
Tuesday: School starts at 8 AM (we usually start at 7:30, so even half an hour later makes a difference), STAR testing, then get out at 1 PM (normally we get out at 2:38, so again, very nice).
Wednesday: The same, STAR testing from 8 AM to 1 PM.
Thursday: School starts at 9:20 because the sophomores have to take some section of the test we don't. Shorter periods (about 38 min long) and then get out at 2:38.
Friday: Normal schedule, but I'm going to see the school musical at night and then after that, from 11 PM to 2 AM is this band event where we all go bowling, which sounds kind of lame, but it should be fun.

So yeah, very nice, relaxing week.

Yesterday I went to this thing in Glendale about these 8 colleges, 4 of which I'm planning on applying to. It was kind of a waste of time, since I forgot I had to do a bunch of reading for English, and they all only had like 5 min to talk about their college. But it did make me like one of the colleges I'm applying to, Haverford, a lot more, and now I feel more confident about applying to it.

It's so weird not to have any homework or tests to worry about for a couple of days. I have no idea what to do with myself now.

Am I the only one who hates Andy/Nina and ships Jake/Nina on Everwood? Please tell me I'm not alone. Because I get the appeal of Andy/Nina, I really do. But I just haven't been able to forgive Andy for what an ass he was in season 3, and I've just loved Jake and Nina together so much more since then. And yeah, they're together now, but man are they gearing for an Andy/Nina ending. I mean, I'm completely unspoiled (so don't get angry if you think I've spoiled you, because I haven't, this is all just speculation on my part), but it just seems obvious that this is where they're heading. And it's pissing me off so much, because I really just don't want them to be together. I don't feel like Andy deserves her, and I've loved how Jake was really there for her in season 3, and yeah, he has had his problems this season, but I still feel like he's much better for Nina than Andy.

And I've been sitting here, trying to read some Veronica Mars fic, but I can't, because I can't stop thinking about this. I just feel so angry. So I was trying to go back to think like "Well, it's ok. What about this show where your favorite ship didn't end up together?" But then... I couldn't think of a single one. Seriously. I mean, ok, there are a few. Or, like, one. But for all the other shows, either the ship I loved ended up together; while they weren't together really, they either went further than I thought they would (George Michael/Maeby) or there was hope for the future (Brian/Justin); I didn't ship anyone; or even though they didn't end up together, they also didn't end up with anyone else. I think if it does end up Nina/Andy, it'll be the first time where they'll actually end it with a ship I've kind of come to really dislike, and since I've been so used to getting my way, this is just pissing me off more than it should.

I don't know. It just disappoints me. I'm really sad that Everwood's been cancelled, so I just want at the very least for them to give me the ending I want. And I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority. Just about everyone else I've seen ships Nina and Andy (which, btw, if you are someone who does, please don't take offense at any of this).

sigh. Just a TV show. Just a TV show.

I think I get way too obsessed with these sorts of things.

(I don't have any Everwood icons! This is clearly a grave mistake that must be eradicated immediately. Or, you know, whenever I get around to it.)
