[intoxicated.soul]

Seniors at last babyyyy!

... but for now I have to worry about finals & SAT II's T-T
darn.

[FLY_HiGHx3]

Lolz

Cute! Haha

Just finished the SATs about an a hour ago, and ..I probably didn't do too well.

Summer has finally started & go SENIORS!
The sad thing is that I have summer school starting Monday. I'm trying to get ahead
I only have 3 days & all the Fridays off, though I'm not complaining

[random azn]

can't believe i made it! hehe!
senior, baby!

[christee8876]

3 more days and I'll be a senior.
I'm so psyched!
it's going to be really sad at this year's graduation though.
the seniors were so awesome this year.

but the really awesome thing is that I only have one final during finals week.
YES!! hahahahaha!!

is anyone taking SAT classes over the summer this year?
I have to take them again...*sigh* SATs aren't too bad, but just thinking about the hours I have to put into it again frustrates me.

[JANG.]

after today ends...2 MORE DAYS!
i didn't have any finals either, which made this past week awesome.
i'm so excited, even though i have the ACT coming up in 4 to 5 days, haha.
it sucks, but after june 13, i'll be completely free!

christee8876: awe, but i'm sure it'll help a ton. (:
you're actually lucky! SAT classes aren't even offered anywhere where i live.
so i have to motivate myself to study these dang ACT books, and that never turns out good, haha.

[Eun_neptune_Him]

it's stupid that i have 4 days of school this week and then two on monday and tuesday, then exams start. I kinda feel comfortable with the courses that i've selected for grade 12. HOLY CRAP I'M GONNA BE A SENIOR NEXT YEAR!

[Yuenie]

We still have 10 days of school left...
And I have my physics final in about 5hrs - which I still didn't study for.
I didn't study for the past 3 finals I took either, but I was sure I did okay in those.
But after that, work is over!!

[`dang sun mei]

9 days left. Tmr is senior checkout day then were officially seniors. Finally. Finished my only two finals since the rest was ap tests lol. Got an 93 on my oral spanish final and a 86 on my trig final. I totally thought I was going to fail those but woo~ school is basically over...

358 days till I graduate.

Question ~

When we're researching college application deadlines, do we look under the year fall of 2009 (2009~2010) or the (2010 one)?
Like on this one:

The 2008-2009 School Year (July 1st, 2008 - June 30th, 2009):

* FAFSA on the Web applications must be submitted by midnight Central Daylight time, June 30, 2009.
* Corrections on the Web forms must be submitted by midnight Central Daylight Time, September 15, 2009.
* Note: Your school must have your complete and correct information by your last day of enrollment in the 2008-2009 school year.

The 2009-2010 School Year (July 1st, 2009 - June 30th, 2010):

* FAFSA on the Web applications must be submitted by midnight Central Daylight time, June 30, 2010.
* Corrections on the Web forms must be submitted by midnight Central Daylight time, September 15, 2010.
* Note: Your school must have your complete and correct information by your last day of enrollment in the 2009-2010 school year.

Does the 2009~2010 one apply to us? I don't know which one I should be looking at.

[JANG.]

^ on that specific quote about FAFSA, i'm pretty sure the 2009-2010 one applies to our class.
FAFSA is dealt with after you've decided on a college, so it can't be due in the fall of this year.
but for college apps, it depends. some deadlines for specific colleges are fall '09, while others are around jan. in 2010.


on another note, HELL YEAR IS OVER. i'm ecstatic.
i can't believe some of you guys still have 9-10 more days left! ):


my teachers gave us our summer assignment today, and i have a feeling it's gonna dominate my entire summer.
we have to put all of the following in a portfolio by the first day back...
- the common application
- a second application (to a college of your choice)
- resume
- reference letter (a list of questions we have to fill out about ourselves to help our teachers with recommendations)
- list of possible graduation topics

i'm kind of glad they're making this an assignment, because i was planning on starting a lot of apps/essays over the summer,
but i'm still nervous about the whole thing.

by the way, how many colleges are you guys planning on applying to?
my teachers were like, "we generally recommend 3-4 apps (a realistic dream college, a "reach" college, a safety college, etc.).
if you do more than 5, we're gonna hurt you!"

...and i'd already planned on applying to like 8-9 colleges, haha.
oh well, guess they're gonna have to hurt me.

[maydai3333]

ACTs tomorrow!! Anyone else taking them??

When do we start apps?

[inn0c3nt_ang3l]

ONE MORE YEAR TO GO GUYS ONE MORE YEAR!

I'm applying to 4 colleges
1 of the colleges is a community college
For some reason, I am leaning towards the community college route
just because I find it stupid to do
all 4 years of college for an English major.

2 of the colleges are in my state (NJ)

and 1 is in another state (NY)
I am considering the NY college just because I hear it has a great English program
but the school itself sucks in comparison to the rest of the colleges I decide
to apply for. Gah I don't know >.<

[carnivals]

just because I find it stupid to do
all 4 years of college for an English major.

why do you think it's stupid?

argghh i still have a week left and i still haven't started studying for finals or anything yet. i still need to do an essay that was due last tuesday. @_@ why do i still have work.

[whoamax]

Had my ACT yesterday and my SAT last week Saturday. Summer had better get better.

Oh my gosh! Me too! I want to major in English (or nursing) and I'm thinking about going to a community college first. But I still don't know. I'm interested in a college in NY. I've been looking into Wells College over there, but I'm still not sure. From what I've heard its a great school. Which one in NY are you looking at?

Goodness, time flies. I never thought I'd actually get to a point where I'd do college stuff. I feel like I was still finger painting yesterday!


Took the ACT yesterday. It was pretty easy, at least I'm thinking so at the moment. I'm planning on taking it every chance this year till my last shot at the end of my senior year. I want my score already!!

[prechuz_azn]

^ I was thinking CUNY-Hunter College.
The Princeton Review 365 Best College book labelled it under "Best Colleges for English majors"
and I looked into it.
And they have 17% of their students enroll as English majors and in juxtaposition to that
the instructors have PHDS from prestigious colleges.
It seems like a good fit for me plus I will be away from the parental units (thank god)
but still community college would really save me a lot of moola =/

[christee8876]

grades for my school come out tomorrow.
I had two borderline grades before finals so I'm super nervous.
I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight. :/
omg. and sats come out in 10 days.
a;sdfowi;eafklj
this summer is so stressful.
there's college apps, sats, work, and pressure.
i'm a nervous wreck right now. I just want my grades to come out!!

can you guys believe we're seniors? it feels so surreal. but hahahaha it's so exciting!!!
what a far way we've come!

When do we start apps?

I'm starting UC apps at the end of this month. But I'll probably keep revising them or rewriting them until the week before apps are due. :]
and my plan for private apps is...well I don't really have a plan since I have no clue about their prompts, if they change, or when the release them.
it's so nerve racking to write the essays, especially for privates, because if you're on the border, your essay could determine if you're accepted or rejected.
I feel like I'm going to have a panic attack.
