Vacation Week

Well, I know I haven't written in a while, but I've been busy.

On Saturday, I spent 10 hours working on the homework I got over vacation. The sad part? I'm only half-way done. I don't understand why teachers feel it's necessary to dominate our vacations. It's not fair. They're supposed to be a break from school, not even more work.

On Sunday, I went to visit Marist College, and I absolutely love it. Not only is the campus completely gorgeous, but it has the academic environment that I want. I found out that I was one of 950 accepted freshman, selected out of over 10,000 applicants. There is just no way to explain how completely excited I am to go there. The dorms are great, with townhouses for upperclassmen, and I can walk from one side of campus to the other in 15 minutes no problem. The technology there is wonderful, and I love the study abroad program. If all goes well, I'll study abroad three times: for 2 weeks over my freshman year spring break in Hawaii, a semester in Argentina my sophmore year, and a language immersion semester in Spain my junior year. And, the best part? It's all normal tuition. It won't cost me a thing extra! I wish I had brought my camera, because practically every place on campus was just picture perfect. >.< I really can't wait to spend four years of my life there!

Today, I had an appointment at the Connecticut Student Loan Foundation (CSLF). Hopefully now, my mom can take care of all the financial stuff. After college, I'm going to be nearly 130,000 in debt. Un-freakin-believable. After that, we went shopping at Uptown Consignment. I got a pair of brown leather flip-flops, which not only look nice, but are wicked comfy. I also got two new pairs of jeans, (size 4) and a brown, floral skirt, (size 0). Tell me, how can I be a size four and a size zero at the same time? O.o I really wish clothing manufacturers would keep there sizes more standard. It would make things so much easier...
