College Things

At the beginning of class today, Ms. Marberry came and talked to us briefly about graduation requirements and college stuffs. She gave us a counselor's report (basically a transcript, except not) and a paper that had the list of credits we needed to graduate. Sadly, my rank didn't go up. (Honestly, though, I don't really care all that much. My GPA went up and that made me happy.)

She also handed out a paper to everyone which asked for the schools we were applying to and how (ED, EA, or RD) so that she could schedule appointments with each of us. (Thank GOODNESS, because I seriously need to talk to her about things. And thank god she's putting ED/EA people first.)

After that, I started working on the short answer questions for my Baylor Honors Program app. I'm applying to the honors program of every 'lower-tier' school (i.e. Northeastern, Baylor, BU, UT, etc.) because I want that extra challenge and I think it'd be fun. I desperately want to get into one of the three honors programs at UT - Plan II, Dean's Scholars or Health Science Honors.

Anywho. Thesis-wise, I'm still waiting to hear back from Vineeta on the possibility of me continuing to fundraise or work with Pratham in some way even after the Readathon ends. In other news, I'm still raising money! As of right now, I'm at $1,462. I know there's more on the way, though, since I won the matching challenge (for $250!) and several other miscellaneous donations. I really hope people will continue to support me as I work towards achieving (and even exceeding) my current goal of $1,750! :D
