Right now I'm waiting for 5 o'clock to come, because that is when I will know about my admissions decision to Brown University.
I am not that nervous. Whatever happens, happens. I realize that 70% of early applicants don't get in. I know that I will be happy anywhere I go. I would still be very happy to get in though.
I get the feeling that Kate will consider herself a failure if she doesn't get in. She told me she tries hard to be successful and gave me a hug today. I love Kate. I don't know if she really knows what she wants.
Not that I do either. I have a rough idea that the purpose of life is to have fun and enjoy yourself, because life is meaningless and emotions are transient and the universe is impersonal.
So I am waiting for 5 oclock. |

Uh, I'm going to Hannahs house for dinner tonight at 6:45.
Bud from the Yaht Club keeps calling me to lifeguard for him. He's offered to pay me $5 less an hour than he usually pays people and the hours are like 11-7. No Bud, I dont want to guard for you.
Okay I have to go bye! |

Today we did our oral final in spanish. The plot is something like I go around town telling every girl I meet my name is Esteban and then I pick them up for dates, cheating on my real girlfriend, who is Erin, who catches me on a date with Paca, who is Ally Fox, and then they both slap me once they figure what is up. It was a smashing success and I am happy with our skit. Most definitely it was an A.
So I guess the gods are really protesting our team having track practice once a week(We have a running practice every Wednesday). It has been rained out two weeks in a row. God just doesn't want us to run. Instead, he wants us to scrimmage, and I am ok with that.
Oh, for the non-existent people that don't know, I made the cut for a frisbee team called Slow Children. We are a club team and we play in the UPA which is like the highest league you can get in. Any team can join, but you definitely need to have some talent. Anyway, I made this team (it is my first year playing Ultimate) and I am happy.
Man, paying attention in class is so frickin' hard. It's gotten to the point where when I am made to do work I cry and I can't muster the mental energy to do it and I whine. I need to study for finals, but all I managed to do today was take a walk with Hannah and watch all three hours of Return of the King.
Pues, ahora tengo que irme. Voy a decirte mas manana. Adios, diario. |

Well, I haven't updated in a while! No problem.
Recently I've been playing a lot of ultimate and not doing any homework or practicing violin or swimming. I'm going to Gillians end of the year party either Saturday or Friday (i forgot which) and I'm having a team dinner for my gym class team on Tuesday night. We're going to have burgers and hot dogs and work on our ultimate skills.
Today we really came together and worked together. We rolled the first team 6-0, but then we lost to Daniel's team, which wasn't really fair to say, because they had extra people- Rory and Frankie. Anyway, in the H-Block Gym final tournament, our team is going to own, I can feel it.
Finals are coming up, and I haven't really done anything to prepare for them, and paying attention in class is extremely hard, and I just want to be outside and having a good time in general.
So ends my pathetic attempt to update. |

"That's the new revolution-the new rebellion. Looking MTV straight in the eye and saying “I'm not afraid to admit that I like you." Because after all, we’re just people, right? Not goths and preps and loners and individuals. Just people."

"Imagine living in a world without religion. What would that be like? Would most people still insist on the “righteousness of the conventional family?” Would they adamantly believe in the “sanctity of marriage?” I certainly don’t think things would be the same.
I think that if we didn’t have religion, we’d focus more on ourselves. If religion didn’t force laws upon us, we’d turn instead to our humanity. Imagine a world where the way you treated your partner was more important than that person’s gender. Imagine if Sunday mornings were spent not at church listening to sermons, but with people you love. Imagine people doing things for each other just because, not just to get into heaven. Imagine people actually loving god, and not pretending to just because they think he controls the world. John Lennon, that guy got it. He got it." |

I think frisbee is the only fufilling thing I've ever done. I had two d-blocks today- I had a good practice.
After that I went to help out at my mom's swim clinic. Eventually, I got in the pool and many things came back to me.
-I used to wear a cap!
-Right, I used to never pay attention to my mom when she's talking...and I still don't know whats going on!
-Sara, I used to drink your water all the time!
-I used to sit on this block!
-Gee, I'm getting kinda tired.
-This is kinda boring...
And finally:
-Oh, right. I used to hate swimming.
One time I did a one and a half at school, and landed wrong on my arm and kinda hurt it on the entry. Today, I could still feel it bothering me. Swimming sucks so much for your shoulders. I hate swimming so much :'(
Let's not talk about this anymore.
----------------------------------------------
We had the MCAS today, and I took about 5 hours and 45 minutes to finish my essay. I missed the Chem quiz (yes!) and we skipped an English quiz. Hooray.
Today was a very nice day, and I like to be playing frisbee in nice weather. |

Hey, what's up?
I've been running a lot lately. It's become an instinct, I guess, to keep fit. But I like running. I think I ran 2 miles yesterday for no good reason, and that was a Sunday. I learned today that nobody wants to cover me in frisbee because I just run like a bitch and it's too tiring to keep up. That actually boosted my self-esteem a little when I heard that.
Katharine's photographs will be displayed at the Hadassah conference at the JCC, which I believe is on April 30th. You should all go see it. Katharine is good, and her photos are good, and Katharine is good. So please go support Katharine. I really would go but I don't have a vagina and you have to belong to the World Vagina Club to attend the conference.
I, being an advocate for gender equality, strongly oppose this no-men policy. I would very much like to go with Hannah and see Katharine's photographs, and see how she is doing. My argument is, if there was a men's conference, then women would definitely complain about not being allowed in. So don't be like men, don't listen to liberals, or other Republicans that don't like me, and don't vote, and don't watch the news. Except for Fox.
There is MCAS tomorrow. I've noticed that I am very good at test taking. Eg; Sat II Biology(freshman year)- 720. ACT/PLAN(this year)- 99th percentile. And I got enough questions right in the Chem Olympiad to get to the second round. So I'm pretty confident that I will do well. And I don't believe in jinxing yourself.
So basically we've all been waiting for this, and I can tell you that I am very excited to go to Boston. Our itinerary will go something like this, for all you non-orchestra members (an estimated 15% of my livejournal readers):
Friday: 3:00 departure from LHS. Arrive in Boston around 5:15ish, and we will have free time(!) in Boston to do whatever the hell we want.
Saturday: Morning workshops with members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. In the afternoon, we have free time, and at night we are going to attend a Boston Symphony Concert featuring Joshua Bell, who I hear rocks.
Sunday: Rehersal, lunch, concert, pretty standard stuff. And then....we have a dance/gala/formal/thing in the evening. My date is Alexa Cicciretti!
Monday: I don't knowww
But yeah, this is looking like an awesome trip. What with Guitar Hero in our hotel rooms, shopping, the city of Boston, frisbee pickup on Boston common, and 70+ orchestra memembers plus 10 other schools in the same hotel, this is going to be a sweet trip.
Steve Mucci and Julia Miehm are the couple to watch during this trip. Also, I probably should practice Schumann.
I'm going to bring my frisbee, cleats, under armour, running shoes, game boy, and a lot of dress clothes. I also plan to run every morning. Maybe I could get some people to do it with me.
Nothing really profound going through my head here.
Oh no! I have one. Nino is very selfish on the playing field. He always complains that he doesn't get the disk, as if that were the entire goal of the game. He refuses to sub out. Basically, he just wants to hold the disk during the game. I really think Nino needs to shut up and frickin' cover his guy. Just do your frickin' job, Nino.
Soo. I've got to get to bed after this intense update. |

Quick entry:
I woke up kinda sick today but no big deal.
I went to school which was fun because I had a Mucci study today and at lunch we danced to music in the music room. Like 15 of us. Also, it was Food Day.
Then I went to frisbee practice where I found I was getting really tired somehow. I played really hard, got really tired, skyed Peter Login, and came home.
I ate a lot, and now I'm completely sick, have a huge stuffy nose, and can't walk because I'm so tired. Also, I'm really cold.
I was going to go over Erinita's house tonight, but I don't know if I'll still go. I don't really feel that well.
Erinita is getting her wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow morning. So I'm going to go to her house and bring her good food to eat. Hopefully I'll feel better then. But I feel bad for her because her eyes are going to turn black.
My feet really hurt- I'm going to plop down on the couch.
Bye bye. |

So the Chemistry Olympiad was today. Mr. Weir and Mr. Goodwin showed up in do-rags and sunglasses and chains with sparkly W's and G's, respectively. It was mad funny. And then when I got there, I was only one out of like...16 people to advance to the next round, including the AP chemistry students. (I had mad guessing skills on the exam ) And then I totally aced the essay portion and the lab portion. I'm going all the way for this thing. I'm going for the gold. I can't wait to get those results back.
So our school won 1st place for chemistry in the high school level and AP level. Hooray. 'Twas glorious.
Jesse Tzeng and I took it home for Longmeadow!
And then at lunch, Paul took like 20 cokes and stuffed them in his backpack. He eventually got other people to do it for him, because it would have looked bad if he kept making trips to the drink table. So when we won and were waiting for the bus, he broke out the drinks and we had a grand old time.
And then I went to a sectional hosted by Colleen, who doesn't do anything but reminice over her high school days and talk endlessly about musical expression.
1. You are not in high school anymore. Stop talking about the "glory days."
2. Mike Barnett and I left for 10 minutes, and when we came back, she was still talking and we hadn't practiced.
3. You suck Colleen.
Oh, and I learned how to play harmonica today.
Oh, and I went to a play today. It was kinda sad to see the state that Drama Club is in this year. People don't really care about them anymore; it's the same people who go to their plays every time and fork over their $5. And they weren't that good. Maybe I was kinda ticked off at Hannah.

Well, I'm off to bed. I did a Sigmund Freud presentation today with Hannah and I literally got 5 comments on how good it was. That was strange.
Hmm. I'm not going to go to frisbee tomorrow because they need me to lifeguard at the JCC right after school. They really can't find anyone else.
There is an MTSC end of the season party Saturday night at 6:30, I think, at First Church in Longmeadow. It is $5 and it is a potluck. It would be cool if you came.
Umm, I can throw a low-release pretty cool-looking. That was my goal, to make it look cool. I have the accuracy down anyway. So hooray! Look for me on the field.
I left my cell phone in Colin Shebar's car. He's going to give it back to me tomorrow. I feel naked without my phone.
Off to read 40 pages of Survival in Auschwitz. Bye bye. |

So basically, I've been playing frisbee, hanging out, running several miles a day, dancing provocatively, and having a general good time in this warmer weather.
Today I ran from Harvard Business School to the MIT aquatics center. It must have been like 4 miles. Then we came home, I took a shower, regretted that nobody was around to see my hair, (it fell really nicely) and then I made the best tortilla espanola ever.
I guess I could also spend the rest of my life with you, too. |

So I heard that we have frisbee practice tomorrow. Man, I'm so excited. I've been waiting all winter to do this. I bought under armour today and I'm wearing it now because I'm excited. So if it was all a trick that we have practice tomorrow, I will be a sad person.
Umm, yeah. Went to the Western Mass Banquet tonight. It was pretty boring. I got my award and wanted to leave.
I have to do homework. |

I bought a new frisbee.
It's called curly world. It's a sweet disc. My clockwork orange has turned to crap. It's sad, because clockwork orange is awesome, probably more awesome than curly world. But now the clockwork orange is a crap disc that I can do whatever with, which is ok.
But you can't have two of the same frisbee. And besides, curly world is cool too.
And the rim of my clockwork for some reason is messed up- it's too thick.
But you know, clockwork is really, really sweet.
Anyway, my mom's going to take me shopping for under armour soon, so I can feel special on the playing field. Thanks mom.
I hope I was able to learn you somethin' about the makes of frisbees today. Off to read Huck Finn (for fun). |
