eliminate bottlenecking

i'm so excited. i'm going to see 'the passion' tonight with
kim and a youth group that she's a part of. i just hope
the kids aren't all the "holier-than-thou" type, and i hope
they're not the type that don't like new people infringing
upon their group. oh, well. we'll see what happens. i
guess you don't really socialize at a movie anyone.
although there is a pizza party thing beforehand.

it always amazes me that i can studyfor a test and feel
prepared and confident in my abilities until i start taking
it. i was fine for the first half of the calculus test. i
thought that this was one of the easiest chapters we had
done. then i flipped the page over and almost went into
convulsions like i usually do during test and quizzes in
that class. it happens nearly every time. i had never
seen anything like some of those problems. and then, at
the end of the day, we got mid-quarter progress reports.
my calc teacher os also my homeroom "teacher." she told me
how good my grades were because she had "had time to look
at everyone's" before she passed them out. she probably
said that because she knows how bad my calc grade will be
after today's test. speaking of those progress reports, my
amazing (...ly awful!) french teacher gave me this comment
on it: "needs to speak more in french." are you freaking
kidding me? did she not look to the left of that comment
to see that i have an a ? and, besides that fact, i speak
in french probably more than 90% of the kids in that
class. she's constantly asking me questions, which i
answer in french! maybe if we ever did anything in that
class, i'd have more of an opportunity.

i never mentioned that emmanuel offered me a full
scholarsjip as well, which is rather ironic because the
colleges at the bottom of my list are the ones offering me
the best deals. at least i've seen emmanuel before. i
actually loved everything about emmanuel except that it
doesn't have communications as a major. i'd have to major
in english and do the "communications path." but who
knows? what if i change my mind and decide not to mahor in
communications anyway? doubtful, but you never know. so
today i got invited to a scholarship reception or something
like that. i hope going to that doesn't bind you to accept
the scholarship. on that day, we also get interviewed to
be a part of the honors colloquium (sp?). i didn't even
know that existed at emmanuel. so now i have to write some
sort of essay for which the prompt is "if you had to
require incoming freshmen to read one book, what would it
be and why?" considering i don't have free time to read
and that when i do, i don't read "classics" and nothing
we've read in school has really moved me in any way, i have
no clue what to write about. it is a catholic college, so
it would be fathomable to write about 'mere christianity,'
but i read that a while ago. i thought i was done writing
essays for awhile. apparently not.
