Rejected from Claremont McKenna and waitlisted at Pitzer. I'd rather go to Claremont, but Pitzer is making me more irritated. I didn't expect to get in at Claremont McKenna (according to collegeboard.com their acceptance rate has gotten really small recently, it's like... 22% now?), but Pitzer? Come on. They have a higher acceptance rate than Colorado College but I got in there. My stats are way above their averages. But I read somewhere else someone got a 4.2 weighted and a 2390 SAT and they were also waitlisted, while someone else got like... 1900 SAT and 3.7 weighted GPA and got in, and I'm thinking that Pitzer's just being really sensitive about being used as a safety and is rejecting people with higher stats than their averages because they think they won't go, because my college counselor told me before I even applied that they had been known to do that. I mean, I thought I showed enough interest, but... I guess not. blah. Now I'm more freaked out than ever about Vassar because I want to go there so badly and now it's like I'm not even getting in anywhere else so if I don't get in it's not like I can be like "Well, it's ok, because I got into Claremont McKenna and I really liked that school." Man, I thought I'd get at least waitlisted at Claremont. This is really disappointing and really discouraging.

Caught up on TV today, since all I watched this week was Prison Break, Heroes, Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars, and The Office. Some thoughts on a few of the shows I watched:

Ugly Betty )

The O.C. )

Studio 60 )

Veronica Mars )

Had an interview Thursday at Claremont McKenna. I think it was my best one yet. I mean, it wasn't amazing, but it was definitely better than the other two ones. I think I'm starting to get the hang of this. I have another up in Santa Monica tomorrow for Lewis and Clark College. I'm not too worried about it, though, because it's a safety school, so as long as I don't offend the interviewer in some way, I'm pretty sure I'll get in.

Yesterday was great fun. After school we got cake because it was Mrs. Daley's last day officially. Then after jazz band, I went to Comedy Sports at school with Emma, Galaxy, Richard, and Andrew. After that, all of us except for Galaxy went to Emma's house and played this game called The New Yorker which is kind of like Words of Wiz-dumb, except you make up captions for pictures instead of filling words into sentences.

I think now I should probably get some homework done since I have a lot to do and tomorrow is the interview and then afterwards I'm going to try to go to Emma's Youth Symphony Orchestra concert at Chapman.

Yesterday morning I went up to Claremont and visited Pomona and Claremont McKenna. And then on the way home, I threw up twice. bleh. But I still ended up going to school today, and I feel better, but still kind of weak. I may take a nap soon, like Galaxy is currently doing in my family room.

Anyways, Pomona was ok, but I really loved Claremont McKenna. I'm pretty sure I want to apply there, but we'll see. I may change my mind in a few months.

My parents are going to see Social Distortion tonight at the Anaheim House of Blues. Not fair at all. Of course, my mom wouldn't let me go anyways because of being sick (or actually, because of having Symphony tonight, which I would be going to if I were not sick), but still. Not fair.

Anyways. Tired. Going to finish schoolwork for tomorrow and then sleep, I gues.
