Dammit. Why, of all the places I could have cut myself, did it have to be the tip of my right index finger? I can't stand wearing a bandaid on it. It's scratchy against the rest of my hand and drives me nuts. But if I don't... I just keep getting more dust and dirt in it and having to clean it again and it's just not healing.

I'm actually starting to get good at using my middle finger for the mouse and NOT using my index to type. This is pathetic. Maybe I can find a game that doesn't use the L and R buttons...

lol I get my hands and fingers cut up all the time, so I know how that feels.

But nothing is as bad as ripping you fingerprint off. gonk
Sorry Pyre, but you'll manage some how. sweatdrop

Ug, I just want it to be Thanksgiving break already.

Yeah, yeah. I'm managing. It's just... how the hell do I keep cutting my damned fingers from SHAVING? I mean, I didn't notice it right away, so I can't be entirely sure. But when I did notice it... I'd just gotten out of the tub.

Shouldn't I be cutting up my legs? Not that I don't do that, too, when I'm hurrying and not paying attention. But that doesn't really bother me. It's never in a place that keeps grating against things all of the time. And it usually scabs over. This won't even scab because it keeps getting pulled this way and that.

Guess it's still better than the time I damned near took my finger off with a potato peeler, though. I was little then, and I didn't realize what great advantage my middle finger would give me later on in life, or I probably would have cared more.

9__9; oh my. Being in the top 4% of my graduating class certainly has perks. I just got a letter from the UC system about how I am guaranteed admission to one of the campuses. Unfortunately, I probably won't get my first choice because it's one of the more popular ones... u u I should start researching the others.


Davis = Bio + animal science. Campus = lots of trees and nature, biking will be your main mode of transportation for the first year or so. Shouldn't be hard for you to get into with your fantabulous GPA.
Berkeley = Chem/engineering. Campus = spread all over the place, the city is crazy and liberal and filled with homeless people. Tough to get in. And when you do, this place with rip you apart.
SC = The party school!
SD = Bio?
SB = Where my dad did his graduate studies.
Riverside = The easiest to get into
Irvine = Arts/drama? Lots of Asian people. Gorgeous campus... but it reminded me too much of my hometown and bored me.
Merced = The new one... is it even open yet? I don't keep track.
LA = ???? I just know it's hard to get accepted.


[/rumors + most likely misconceptions]

Yeah, I live in Norcal so I hear more stories about the UC's up there. Can't help you with Socal. xD


...yup, SD is still my first choice. xd Davis sounds nice, but it's the farthest from home, and I think I'd die going to live on my own. 9w9 eh. I'll think about it. But I'm hoping that the ELC thing will at least give me an edge for UCSD, since I have to fill out an application anyways. They really need to send me my PIN number so I can get working on that... >_> *has to start over with particular username*

I don't know why I'm even applying to SDSU. I really don't want to go there -- if I get rejected by UCSD and I don't decide to go to a different UC, I'll probably just get my GE at the community college..

Haha, I'll take care of you if you come up to Davis. xd
It's super friendly and easy to get familiar with. I think my sister wants to go here too.

But I hope you get into your first choice!
I'm sure you will, you're super smart.

I'm totally thinking about Davis now. xd I'm scared of moving because I've never moved once in my life, but now I realize that I could go for a change of scenery... O: And it has the life science stuff, which is what I want to focus on.

But I don't want to move right now. I think my plan is that if I don't get accepted to UCSD, I'll go to the community college. After I get my GE done, then I'll see if I'm ready to move then or if I should just stick with SD.

Gah, it's only mid-November and you have everything mapped out already? xd

I'd jump into UC immediately if you have the opportunity or can afford it, mainly for the social aspect of it. First-year dorm life is a fun experience, and you make a lot of friends since everyone's in the same boat as you. I met my boyfriend of almost 3 years in the dorms, freshman year, when I was lost and asked if I could follow him somewhere. But, that's my opinion, since I had a good time. :3

It can be tough picking a school to go to. I was only interested in UCB at first, for no particular reason other than "PRESTIGE YO!" but I didn't get in... so I picked Davis since it was the next-closest. [Actually... I picked it because of the DUCKS. gonk But people laugh when I tell them this sad truth...]

I totally understand not wanting to move, especially somewhere so far away. In my case, I'm only a 2-hour drive from home.

...Well, applications are due on the 30th... ¦< At my school, you're a slacker if you don't know exactly what you're doing. I still kind of am one because I still don't know what I'm doing beyond a very vague idea of the field. xd (And I need some sort of comfort if I get rejected. Which I feel that I will because my personal statement is going to suck because my life is boring XP)

I'm not a social person, but my main excuse is money. I qualify for Cal Grant A and I have some money set aside by my great grandma, but other than that... I don't know, I'll try. O: But if I go to a UC right away, it will probably be SD because I am NOT ready to move by next fall. gonk

Ducks is totally a reason I would use. And closeness. I'm just going to apply to UCs now, since I'm guaranteed admission to one of them... xd

Probably the same way I manage to lose perfectly good fingernails to my razor. Cursed thing.


And dear god, WHY won't this cold, or strep, or whatever it is go away!? If anything, the medicines are making it worse.

one of my dad's good friends and colleagues teaches at davis. dan sumner... he'll be in the economics/ag ec department, though, so maybe that's not your thing.
PostPosted: Fri Nov 16, 2007 8:12 pm


I told my Dad I was thinking about Davis, and he is really skeptical. His reasoning? Its proximity to Sacramento. gonk He went on about the air quality, crime rate, etc. ~_~ Jeez.

God damnit, the one god damn time my room mate is actually here on the weekend is the one ******** time I don't want him here.

o____o; I hope this isn't a sign telling me not to stay back from the thanksgiving vacation until Wednesday.

I mean, 3, 3 deadly crashes in town in just two days. burning_eyes
I know that drivers around here are ******** idiots that don't know what they're ******** doing while pretending to drive, but come ********, I nearly missed one myself today going down to the market to pick up mom's prescriptions, when this ******** idiot ran a red light while on a ******** cellular.

76% of the drivers around here are on cell phones while driving.
And the 15% of slow drivers/elderly making it harder to drive.

This ******** town needs to crack down on this stuff hard NOW!!! scream

Two ladies killed yesterday, and a 13yr old girl killed today, this ******** s**t should never happen. stressed

Why do I still keep thinking about marriage? MARRIAGE? It's been almost 5 months! 5 months, marriage?!? Give me a break. STOP IT, BRAIN. I want to be optimistic, but not that optimistic.

But I guess it doesn't help when he brings it up randomly from time to time, like asking "What would you do if I proposed?" Well, wtf would I do? It depends on the time and place and 239593259213 other things, I couldn't predict it til that moment! All I know is I'd rather take my time. T___T
