Before I came to thesis today, I had a whole list of things typed out that I wanted to accomplish. Guess how many of those I was actually able to finish?
About half. Which isn't bad, but I wanted to get a lot more done than I was able to. Let's just say I wasn't counting on the announcements taking that long today; I wanted to go to my locker and get both of my essays edited and printed in the first 10 minutes of class, but because of the announcements, Mr. Correa wasn't able to say what he wanted to say till 9:30, which is really unfortunate because that meant I only got to start the senior survey at 9:40, when my plan was to have it done by then. Ah, well. I worked on it for a good 25 minutes and at this point, I only have two more questions left to answer. Hopefully I can finish those tonight and email it to him.
(Yes, I plan things out with exact timings. What can I say? It helps me stay on track and be organized.)
What's more is that, for some reason, I can't find my AP Spanish binder anywhere! I was sure I left it in my locker yesterday evening, but when I went to get it today it wasn't there. It wasn't in my backpack, nor was it in Mr. Buchanan's room (I went and checked). That frustrated me to no end because my main goal in thesis today was to give Mr. Correa my revised essays so he could read them and tell me what he thought before I submitted them to their respective schools! Arghhh. I still have no idea where the binder is, but I'm going to keep searching. Hopefully it'll turn up soon! It's a one-inch orange binder with no clear front cover, and it has all my Spanish stuff in the rings and my essays in the front inside flap.
I also wasn't counting on the fact that I'd have to help some people with Common App stuff. That took up more time than I expected it to, honestly. Which I don't mind, because I like helping people, but it was unexpected. I got stuff done today in thesis - it's not like I was slacking off or anything - I just spent the time doing stuff I wasn't expecting to do. Productive stuff, but still.
On a brighter (or maybe not-so-bright, I don't know) note, I listed the rest of my schools on the paper in my blue file. (I had to add lines and write a few outside of the given box. I'm not sure what that says about my college list...) In terms of college apps, though, I've submitted both my Baylor app and my University of Pittsburgh app. Hopefully I'll get a decision from Pitt soon. (They still haven't received my test scores and transcript! I don't know why, I sent those in several weeks ago. Hopefully I won't have to do all of that again... We'll see.) I've also started my application to UC Berkeley; I'm about halfway through with it as of now. Hopefully I'll be able to recycle some of the essays I've already written for other schools! (I have to write enough essays as it is, okay. Give me a break. Besides, I'm 95% sure two essays I've already finished will work for Berkeley.)
