Waking Thoughts: 4/1/2008
“It’s time to get up, the time is eleven o’clock.” I was just woken up by my phone’s robotic voice saying these words. Pretty eerie, I’m gonna have to remember to change the alarm setting or that thing is going to scare the shit out of me every morning. Kind of like having a robotic mother on an endless loop.
Anyway, no real thoughts this morning. College was on my mind before I slept, and still is as I wake. What a brutal process. Of course, I’m still a junior so I won’t be dealing with it until next year, but it is truly difficult to see your friends get rejections. Then again, witnessing your friends get acceptances is quite wonderful. Either way, I’m truly not looking forward to the prospect of college applications. Having to reduce myself to a five hundred word essay. How is that even possible? Regurgitating my accomplishments into a neat, organized list. Why does some institution’s application suddenly have all the authority over what’s important to me? It’s ridiculous. But that’s the way it goes, unfortunately.
Speaking of college, I’m going to begin some proper SAT preparation today. Lovely. Endless math problems, that are both simple and difficult at the same time. Question after question about some irrelevant paragraph I was forced to read. But again, that’s the way it goes. I just have to do it, and be done with it.
Time to get out of bed now, and start the day. Off I go.
-Veed.
P.S. HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY! I’m too tired to think of anything to fool you about, but I’m sure other sites on the net certainly will.
