sometimes i fear that the rare compliments i get are only given to me because people know my self esteem ain't all that great. i fear that the things they say aren't true.

anyway, this song is so good idek. i'm not even a ballad person but i am a xiah stan 4 lyfe so i'm sitting here like iasjdijasidjaiosjd and sobbing LOL. ugh i love him.

i miss dbsk. and shinee.

....and i'll make a real entry sooner or later. probably later rather than sooner. lol shutting up now.

i'm bored so....i'm gonna talk about college/ACT scores!

I GOT A 25! YAYYYYYYY (note that i'm really late in telling you guys this - i took the ACT back in april/may).
the highest possible score is a 36, so obviously, i didn't do an amazing job, but i didn't do terribly either. i guess i'm in the above average range, since the national average is a 19 (eek!). i took the ACT my sophomore year, and i got a 23, and my goal was to get a 26 the second time, so i believe i did pretty good. i took the ACT a 3rd time in june to see if i could get a higher score, and i got a 23. :[ oh well.

specific scores:
composite score: 25 - 82% (rank)
english: 28 (YAY! this means i can skip to english 102 at UIC if i get in) - 90% (rank)

usage/mechanics: 15 (out of possible 18)
rhetorical skills: 14 (out of possible 14)

mathematics: 23 (ehhh. i guess this is decent. better than the first time where i got a 19.) - 69% (rank) :[[[[

pre-algebra: 12 (don't know total possible points)
algebra/coordinate geometry: 10
plane geometry/trigonometry: 13 (obviously, trig is my strong point!)

reading: 28 (yay again!) - 87% (rank)

social studies/sciences: 15
arts/literature: 14

science: 21 (EVIL. EEEEEVIL. the graphs were freakin' confusing! i think i even dozed off in the middle of this section. i am jealous of those who got a 27 [aka my best friend]) - 58% (rank) :[[[[[

combined english/writing: 26 - 81% (rank)

writing: 8 (out of 12 points)

I'M SO MAD ABOUT THE WRITING PART. gahhhh. on my 3rd ACT where i got a lower composite score, i got a 12 out of 12 and a 99% rank in writing! WHY OH WHY DIDN'T THAT HAPPEN ON MY BETTER TEST?! :[

*sigh*
i feel like i've done nothing today, although i've actually done quite a bit. i woke up at 11:15 - super late for me, so i guess that's why i feel the way i do. anyway, i have:

1) finished my personal statement for UIC/U of I
2) cleaned the bathroom
3) brushed mickey (my dog)

...and that's it. okay. now that i have written out a list, and it's so small, i feel useless. i guess i'll go fold some laundry after this.

i've been seriously in a harry potter mood lately (note the icon, haha) - i've watched all the movies, i'm about to re-read the series....i guess i'm in a withdrawal since it's the end of the series. *tear*

last wednesday, i had senior photos. it went really well. i brought my camera and my clarinet as props. the 1st photographer was really fun! and i even

( got my hair done )

( harry potter and the deathly hallows kinda sorta spoilers.... )

anyway, i need to start writing my college essays. *sigh* at least i applied for two more scholarships! i should be knowing if i won one i applied for in june next week....eek! pray for me please!

yesterday was the last day of my class at columbia. today is the gallery showing! i'll have pictures showing you all the gallery.

i even got out of my shyness and made a couple of acquaintances! i'm proud of myself!

p.s. um. wow. there's way too many exclamation points in this post. i apologize.

everything's been pretty good this summer. i have one week of work left, and two weeks of my photo I class left. i'm learning SO much in the darkroom - i love it.

the little reunion with my day care friends went VERY well. i was expecting K to be all stuck up and stuff since she lives in Glen Ellyn (SUPER rich suburb) and the last time i saw her at her 13th birthday party, she didn't seem to want to talk to me. but she was really nice, and we have a lot in common (we both play the clarinet). B was really cool and funny (and not a bully like she was when we were 3, haha), and she loves to watch boondocks and teen girl squad. i'm a year older than B and K, so they were all aksing me about driving and how my sophomore year was. we all exchanged information, and hopefully we'll keep in touch. :]

marianne (the day care giver) was SO happy to see us, and i think she was crying happy tears! :] she has a BEAUTIFUL house.

p.s. i used the first letter of their names, 'cause i'm not sure if they want their names all over the internets. :P

p.p.s. NOOO SCHOOL STARTS TUESDAYYYYYYY :[ please pray for me a lot this school year. junior year = TOO MUCH STRESS.

i think i'll start updating this more.
and commenting on there's ljs more! :]
....i guess i'm back, but i'm not sure. i said that i few months ago, and i haven't really updated since.

( pictures... )

in a few entries back, i said that i had gotten a job at a portrait studio...but that fell through. :[ now i'm job hunting. so far i've applied to 14 places, and i've gotten no calls back. this sucks. 'cause i really want a new camera/ipod/other things. :/ please pray that i get a job!
