Worry, worry, worry

That's right, I'm worried. About what, you ask? Friends. Life. The future.

Jenelle's been depressed, but she won't say anything about it. Reesa and I have come up with some highly plausible reasons for it, but Nelle won't ever bring it up.
Lucy's been...Lucy. Heart broken Lucy. She puts a smile on for the day, but I can just feel it when something's wrong. Something's definitely wrong.
Thomas doesn't have a date to prom anymore, so Nelle wants to ask him to go with her as just friends. Coco wants to go to prom in Angela's group, but she can't unless she has a senior as her date, so she wants to go with Nick. Nelle's in love with Nick, but Nick is enamored with Joy, and Joy doesn't like Nick or her current boyfriend, Nathan. Oh, and Reesa wants Coco to go in our group to prom.

High school love is just so freaking confusing sometimes. And, like, it's not real. All those stories about marrying a high school sweetheart are, like, one in a million. Seriously, the average person only maintains a good relationship with two high school friends after graduation. I'll probably have two or three: Reesa, Lucy, and Nelle. My east coast buddies. :)

So, back to Nelle.
She's gorgeous and talented and funny and amazing. She thinks she's ugly because she's overweight. And she's humble when it comes to her amazingness. But it's not like she's disgustingly obese. She knows how to pull it off! And personally, Nelle wouldn't be Nelle without her...voluptuousness. She's Jenelle and she can work the weight.
So, anyways, since she believes she's ugly, she also believes she'll never get the guy (read: Nick). And then there's her mom who is so overprotective that Nelle's not even allowed to apply to college. They're moving to North Carolina and Nelle has to go to a JC there. Um...what the hell? Matt was fine at State and I'm pretty sure her two older sisters were fine at 4-year universities, too. Why does Nelle get left out? Sure, her grades aren't the best, but State would probably take her anyways. It's State.
The other reason she's depressed: Canada. Our choir is going to Canada for 5 days. Nelle's mom is, as I said, overprotective and won't let her leave the country. Which means Nelle's stuck learning all these songs that she doesn't even get to perform. And she's always left out of the Canada excitement and discussions because she's not going. I really wish she was. I love Nelle and I need her singing beside me. When she's not, I don't feel as confident or as awesome. :(

Now, onto prom. I have a date. I promised my date I would go with him about a year ago. My date is not my boyfriend. At one point, I wished he was my boyfriend. I don't anymore. When I explained this to my boyfriend, he got...I dunno...quiet. I told him nothing would happen and that I'm totally not into this other guy. He's like my brother now and there's just no way...
I felt so bad. His only response was, "It's nothing to do with you, but I've been in a situation where 'nothing was going to happen' and the next thing I knew, my girlfriend left me for this other guy."
Here's the dilemma. I have to go with Matt. I've been planning on going with him for ages. But somehow I've got to ensure that Trent's okay with that. He has to know that he can trust me. I mean, Matt's already cleared this whole prom thing with his girlfriend and she's totally fine with it. She's really awesome, by the way. :)

So, yeah. Prom. Ugh. Like, I'm excited, but at the same time, I really don't want to be there when the drama explodes. I've had enough drama to last me a life time already.

There's probably more I have to say, but since I started writing this yesterday and my internet's about to crash, I figure I should end it here.

Musically yours,
Kat

Day 2

My day was absolutely amazing! It was like I couldn't be sad because I was wearing my Etown sweatshirt and I had my acceptance letter in my bag. I told Shannon in first period that I should be accepted to college every day since it puts me in such a good mood. Haha. I haven't been this happy since my break-up with DBEWMB (read: Brandon)! Which is actually kinda sad. In a funny way. Anyways, I've been battling two consecutive colds, the second one developed into bronchitis, so I've been fighting that, too, and then my vocal audition for the music program at Etown didn't go so well because I've had laryngitis for four and a half weeks straight. I've basically been a walking plague and I haven't been very...cheery lately. I could act like it if I really wanted to, but I felt so crappy that I didn't even try. And then today I was back to normal! :D

I've even gotten most of my voice back. Which I'll probably waste by the end of the day because I have practice and I have to yell a lot in it...>.< style="font-style: italic;">paying to play. I better freaking play if I'm paying good money, you know what I mean?

Anywho, as you can tell, I really don't want to go to practice. I already missed Sunday, though, and Thursday's practice was canceled, so I figure I should go just to keep myself in shape. *Sigh* Oh well. So much for saving my voice.

Random:
I think I'm going to start writing like Gossip Girl on here. lol. You know you love me!
Yes, I am addicted to that show. And the books are good, too. But I liked the show first. Which is rare for me. I usually fall in love with the book first, then scrutinize the show/movie and point out everything that's not canon. Haha! I'm such a nerd! XD

You know you love me,
Ginny

So, basically...

I've had blogs before, but I've always censored myself. Kind of. Haha. If you've read my other blogs, you'll understand why that's funny. But if you haven't, well, that's probably because you a) don't know me or b) I didn't like you enough to let you read it. :)

Anywho, I've decided this is going to be my uncensored blog. I don't care whose feelings I hurt, whose egos I squash, or who gets offended. This is me and my thoughts. Uncensored. It's going to be a bumpy ride, 'cause let me tell you, if I always said what I thought, no one would like me. Except maybe Lucy. She's kind of a glutton for punishment when it comes to brutal honesty. Oh, and since it's because of Lucy that I'm here, I'll try to keep up with the whole name-alias things. But I doubt if I'll be able to. If we happen to be talking about the same person, I'll use her alias. But if it's someone she's never talked about, I'll use their real names. Yay!

So, here's the overview:
I'm a senior in high school and I've been dying to get out of CA to go live on the east coast where all my family lives. I applied to only east coast schools (except one in AZ, but that was a fall-back school, anyways), and I've visited my top 3 schools: Elizabethtown (PA), Sweet Briar (VA), and UVA-Wise (VA).

I'm not really sure what it was about Etown that made me fall in love with it. I mean, the campus was absolutely GORGEOUS, first of all. Like, it's ridiculously pretty. Breath-taking, almost. Second, the PEOPLE. Oh my God. Everyone there was so hospitable! My dad and I were a little late to the open house in November, but when we walked in, we had about ten students and faculty around us giving us coffee, breakfast foods, and information packets. It was amazing. And then I met the volleyball coach. He was awesome! He definitely reminded me of Bert in that he was so laid back and easy to get along with. He set me up with free dinner with half the volleyball team and sent us on our way for the campus tour. Since we'd been talking to the coach for so long, we kinda missed the tour times, so we asked this random guy to give us the tour. Turns out, he's part of the improv comedy group on campus, so the tour was hysterical.

Now, before I explain why I decided it was my top school, there's one thing you must know: I'm a Harry Potter FREAK. I've read the books so many times that I know them inside and out. I search online for info not given in the books. I listen to MuggleCast religiously. I have a PiPa account. And I listen to wizard rock. I have more wiz rock than any other genre in my iTunes library. My favorite wrock band is called The Moaning Myrtles. Lauren and Nina are just amazing. Lauren happens to go to Etown. I was never really interested in the college, to be honest, until I got a card from them and an email from the vball coach. I decided to do a little studying and, while screwing around on facebook, I realized that Lauren went there. I asked her about it and she totally got me interested.

So, my dad and I are in line for food (which was SO good. Best food EVER.) when I look over and I see this girl who looks a lot like Lauren. But I didn't get a good look, so I didn't say anything. We get our food and we walk out to the tables and chairs and I see her sitting by herself. OMG. I flipped out. I dragged my dad over and I asked, "Hi, are you Lauren Fairweather?"
She looked up at me and smiled (because she's just the type of person who will smile at a perfect stranger) and said, "Yeah, that's me."
I told her I was the girl from facebook who had asked her about Etown and she invited us to eat with her. We talked about wrock for a bit, then my dad got involved with the conversation and asked about important things like the college and classes and everything. Basically, she was the most amazing person I've ever met. Like, seriously. She's so sweet, and sooo freaking nice! And she didn't think I was weird for fangirling her while she was trying to eat. Haha!
That was probably one of the best days of my life. Ever since, I've been determined to go to Etown.

And guess what?

I got accepted today!!!!! :DDDDDDDDDD I am unbelievably happy! I opened up the letter and the first thing I saw was a giant postcard saying 'YES' in huge letters. It didn't really register with me at first, 'cause I was really nervous about what the letter would say, and then I opened the letter and saw: "It is with great pleasure that I write to inform you of your admission to Elizabethtown College!"

And I started crying. My hands were shaking and the significance of the giant 'YES' finally hit me. I immediately called my BFFLs Lucy and Reesa and I ended up talking with Lucy for 2 hours and 17 minutes. Haha. It was amazing. I'm sooooooo happy! And relieved! I've been silently stressing about this for weeks. I haven't really told anyone how nervous I was about all this. Like, it was so uber important to me that I couldn't even verbalize it.

:)))))))

Happy, happy, happy. With a side of cyanide.

That's it for tonight!

Yours in Harry Potter nerdiness,
Ms. Weasley (aka Kat)
