Spring supper stroll

Last night, my best friend and I went for an after-dinner (supper) stroll. I took a few pictures, but it was hard to capture the exact feeling of sunset on an early spring day. Everything is still blooming here - so lively!

Perfect red-and-pink sunset with a skeletal black tree outlined against the sky.

Hope you're having a good morning.

Work hard, play hard

Normally my school has three shows: a fall drama, a winter musical, and a spring musical for the middle school. This year, however, as a tribute to Joe Raposo, my school is doing a fourth show. It's called "Just Sing!" and it's about students who are supposed to go to my school - cute idea.

I thought I was done with costumes for the year. But I'm not. Actually, it's kind of annoying because both high school and middle school students are in the cast, so we've got these midget middle schoolers running around messing up our order. Thankfully, the show is next weekend so all this silliness will finally be over.

On another note, it is 88 degrees today! In April! I'm enjoying the hot sun in my tan from the Keys last week... maybe I'll get even more tan ;-) Even though I had to do more Costume work today, I was truly rewarded with perfect spring weather.

On Monday I bought a notebook so I can write (or doodle or pass notes... I mean take notes) wherever I am. It's not the most beautiful nb... but it's pretty awesome. It's orange and completely, 100%, environmentally friendly. Plus, I picked up some f-ah-ncy pens to write with: my favourites, Uni-Ball and Le Pen.

My pens and I are going out to soak up some early spring sun.

College acceptances

As it may or may not be apparent, I am off to college in the fall and I've just finished hearing back from all the schools I applied to. The results are:

Accepted
-University of Denver
-University of San Diego

Accepted for spring 2011
-American University


Waitlisted
-University of Miami
-University of Richmond


Rejected
-University of Maryland, College Park
-Cambridge University
-University of St Andrew's

Anyway, I am SO EXCITED to be accepted to the wonderful DU and USD!

 

My decision about which school to attend is due on May 1... so we'll see what I decide. It's thrilling to know that in just a few short months, I will be in an entirely new city with people I haven't even met yet. Scary for some, maybe, but I'm excited and can't wait!
