I just signed up with Cappex.com, a new site about getting into and paying for college, and would like your help.

Why today may be the worst day so far in my (young) life:
1. Someone that I like is getting married. It does not matter who. I do not want to marry him. But the fact that he is currently engaged is depressing.
2. My boyfriend was not in school today. I carefully made the point of wearing the necklace he gave me today, and he was not there to see me effort. The reason that he was not here is because he is sick. I coughed a couple times today and fear I have caught his cold. And he told me he was not contagious!
3. The Forensics 3 Curse. Every year, the day of the 3rd forensics meeting, I manage to injure at least two of my fingers. I forgot about the curse until I received a paper cut. Later, before the meeting, I smashed another one of my fingers in my organizer.
4. One of my friends may be gay. This in itself is not an issue. The issue is that this is someone I have/do have a crush on and who, I believed, had a crush/was hitting on me. Could that be any more embarrassing?
5. I have not finished a poem in days. Also I found out a friend of mine is a VERY good writer. You know, good for him. But it only makes me look even worse.
6. My English sucks (excuse my French). I have a pen pal in Korea who is hoping (or is it hopping?) that I will help her out with her English. As if I am an expert in the language I claim to speak!
7. Lunch was a series of badness. First I clearly called a seat check, which was ignored. When I came back, the only seat left was one that was covered in glitter. I took it. Then I proceded to spill msahed potatoes all over myself. Not to mention, before I had I chance to bite into my sandwhich, Scotty looked over (we usually order the same thing) and says “Just so you know, the food tastes like ass today.”

I hope to get past some of my biggest fears and problems this year. But to just SAY that is one thing, especially when what I am saying is so vague. Here are some of my goals for this year.
1. National Novel Writing Month- Reach 50,000 words in one month. I know someone who has done this and they were quite proud of the accomplishment. I have been saying I would do this for the last 2 years, but have yet to reach this goal.
2. April is Poetry Month- Write at least 2 poems a day in the month of April. Last year I wrote 1 a day, while most days I wrote a lot more. I hope to write 300 new poems this year, putting me that much closer to my goal of beating out Emily Dickinson by sheer volume. If only I could get the prestige as well.
3. Be top debater in both the state AND the league. These events are judged separately. I managed to be the top debater in the league this year. To my bitter disappointment, I barely even made it in to the final session at the state tournament. I would also like a gavel for being a PO, since I have yet to receive one. Not to mention a Best Bill Award.
4. Get at least a 30 on the ACT, with a math subscore of at least 28. I took a practice one and I got a 27, but I would like to do better. Get a 4 on the U.S. Government AP exam.
5. Read 500 books. I have a list of book, about 510 books long, that I would like to read. I do not expect all of the ones I actually read this year to be from this list, but it would be nice.
6. Finish ‘Unsent Letters’, ‘Unconscious’ and ‘If you were me’ , the current books I am writing.
7. Be accepted to Eastern Michigan University. I want to go there so bad it is ridiculous. Also be accepted to U of M, just so I can turn them down.
8. I have perfect attendance at school. I haven’t missed a day of school in the last two years, and I would like to keep it that way.
9. Blog more. I really need to get in more posts this year. I’ll just make sure to write down my posts on scrap sheets of paper.

I love philosophy and the old cliches that are true in life. When I am lost I rely on wise words to get me through. Some of my favorite cliches are those that involve knowledge, time or love. (”The good life is inspired by love and guided by knowledge.” Bertrand Russell).
Although on the surface I might appear shallow to others, I am usually motivated by the desire to have others go beyond trivial emotions and pains in life. I try to base all of my decisions on logic and not on whim alone. Sometimes, however, logic doesn’t even make it’s way into the equation.
I often try to control my surroundings in any way possible. Generally, this does not work out and it leaves me feeling powerless and depressed. When I feel insecure my sense of humor completely disappears.
I spend a good amount of my free time planning the future. I have trouble with dwelling in the past and hoping for the future that I ignore the present. I do not do my homework yet I’ll set there and research colleges. The absolute pointlessness of it all make me laugh, but cry a little inside. I could tell you more about Eastern Michigan University then I could tell you about the structure of cells or factoring an equation.
