I got waitlisted at Vassar. sigh. But I did get accepted to Berkeley, so at least I had that good news today. I can't figure out how to view my Brown decision, so I have no idea if I got in, but I'm going to assume no. Man, I'm really upset about Vassar. It was my first choice. They said in their letter over the past few years they've accepted as many as 50 from their waitlist and as few as 1. And I think the waitlist is fairly large. =/ Blah. I still have yet to hear from Tufts, Amherst, UCLA, Stanford, and Brown, but I don't want to go to UCLA or Tufts anymore, and Amherst, Stanford, and Brown are never going to accept me if Vassar, Claremont McKenna, and Haverford didn't, so I'm pretty much deciding between Berkeley and Macalester. It should seem like an easy decision, but there are a lot of things I really like about both schools, and even though Berkeley is more prestigious, Macalester is still a really great school. I don't know. I'll have to think about it.

So yeah. Disappointing day. I am really glad I got into Berkeley, though. I was expecting a rejection with the way things have been going.

gah. Dell called last week and left a message saying my computer should arrive this Monday to this Wednesday, and today, still no computer. But I was finally able to check my order status, and apparently the order just shipped today, and it's due to arrive at earliest this Friday and at latest on Tuesday. al;skjdf gah! I'm getting really frustrated with this! They said they'd send me a new computer immediately when my mom e-mailed them 3 weeks ago! I'm sick of having no computer! My teachers have all been out to make my life miserable by assigning no homework and there's nothing new on TV (well, ok, there was a new House tonight, and there'll be Thursday night TV, but there was nothing last night, or anything else for the past few weeks) and I know the second I get my computer it'll be finals and I'll have a million things to do. a;lskdjf gah! And, ok, technically I have been able to use my mom's computer so I'm not totally helpless, but you can hardly classify this thing as a computer. I can't open more than webpage at once or it'll go bezerk and freeze and god I hate it.

And for some reason, everything's breaking! First it was the computer, then my mom's car, then my iPod suddenly and randomly on the way to Mammoth (the screen froze, but luckily after the battery wore out and it turned off, when I charged it up again it was fine. But now I'm getting anxious because I'm afraid it'll break permanently and if I lose my iPod, then all my music is gone forever because my computer is broken too), and our heater is broken. I mean, ok, Monday at 7 AM it was 70 degrees, but still. It gets cold at night, and it's supposed to be colder tomorrow.

sigh. Anyways, in better news, I realized yesterday suddenly that my 18th birthday is this coming Sunday. I'm not quite sure when that happened, since last I checked it was like a month away, but anyways. I'm going to try to do something on Saturday with friends, but I don't know how well that's going to work out since I don't really have any idea of what I want to do. We'll see. Oh, and today we finally did Secret Santa and Andrew got me this scarf with mooses (meese?) on it and candy and it came in a really, really nice box. So that made me happy, at least.

Oh and I got an e-mail today from an alum at Vassar to schedule an interview, which I'm really happy about since it's my first choice school and they don't know they're my first choice school and I really want them to know how much I want to go there. It's good too since I haven't had an interview in awhile, but it'll be right after my Pitzer interview on the 20th, so I'll at least have that to prep for the Vassar interview.

That's about it. aslkdj I really desperately want my computer. :(
