Awkward and Awesome

So, I flipped a coin and decided to go with the awkward stuff first.

On my uni's freshman facebook page there are like 3893847283 posts by girls trying to find roommate. There are a lot of girls staying in the fancy shmansy dorm suits where they get their own room and what not, so obviously I ignore those posts. Originally I was just going to wait to be matched through the housing system, but I thought--- hey, why not see if I can find a roommate ahead of time?

So, I found one post that had two of my top dorm choices. Coincidentally we had met at the scholarship weekend, and the few times I talked to her she seemed really cool. I checked out her facebook page and she seemed like she'd be a good roomie. She does ballet, is from Buffalo, NY, and had a decent set of interests. So I, along with a few other girls commented on her post. I ended up being the last commentor, which didn't really bother me. Well, the awkward part comes when I get a notification saying that she posted on the the thread. I clicked the link, only to see my comment at the end of the chain. Meaning, she had commented, but deleted it. AWKWARD.

So I decided to try again. This time I found a post where this girl named Margaux (a psych major from Vermont) who was planning on staying in the same dorms that I had picked out. She seemed really fun and upbeat and even planned on becoming a sex therapist. I thought, hey. I need to be more extroverted. So I sent her a message. Two days later, and still no reply. In all fairness she doesn't seem to be that active on facebook, but it's still awkward to just have my responses just open.

I would much rather them message me with a, "No thanks, you're just too weird to room with," or "Actually my best friend and I decided to room together" or "Oh, well, I'm not going to college anymore, I've decided to become a stripper" instead of just leaving me waiting.

So. That wasn't too bad. At least all the awk is contained within the internet.

Anyways, today I decided to apply for Seventeen's freshman 15 bloggers! I've been wanting to be a blogger for them since... man I don't even know. A LONG TIME. So I took a few pictures for them, filled out the application, and sent everything in. Here's one of the pictures I sent into them.

I swear I live in grey. I have at least 3 grey dresses, a handful of grey shirts and sweaters, and even a pair of grey tights. And I'm not even counting all of my business clothes. In fact, if you were to look in my closet you'd see that MOST of my clothes are grey or navy blue.

Also, I made a tweet about applying and this happened:

So I'm hoping that it's a good omen.

I have part of my spring break homework done, and I'd like to think that I'm halfway through, but deep down I know that I need to buckle down and just finish everything. Yeah. I'm going to do it. For sure. Right now.

Or maybe I'll just wait until Saturday. That sounds nice too.

Spring Break 1

I decided to take today to get a little painting done outside while the puppy frolicked and played in the grass. After a little while my siblings decided to join me outside and we blew bubbles and the younger ones rode their bikes. I finished my painting, but I didn't like half of it so I blacked it out and I'm going to cut it off when I get to school. C'est la vie. Hopefully I can AT LEAST finish another painting before the end of the week. I bought a new swimsuit today, and it's a really simple, sort of mod one.

Also I've been on my uni's freshman FB group page. It's moderated by one of the media managers on HPU and she answers any questions we have. Personally I find the group awesome, sans all of the people talking about how much booze they're bringing with them the first day so that they can party it up before classes. Are you kidding me? I don't have anything against partying, but the group is being MODERATED by a university official. It's sheer stupidity to say that stuff out in the open for everyone to read.

But that's just my opinion. As someone who ducks away from cameras at events, it just seems like common sense to NOT say that stuff. I really need to get some actual homework done.

Updates

So, all those horrible awful, doubt-filled days I've been having?

DONE. This week has just been so awesome that I feel like it makes up for every crappy day I've had since the beginning of the school year. I mean, nothing can really describe how I feel, but thisFlorence song comes pretty darn close.

So, reasons why I'm feeling awesome:

1. I got my scholarship reply in the mail! Along with my letter they sent me a box of yummy Godivas. I'm convinced that I'm going to the awesomest school in the universe.

2. Today I FINALLY learned how to make spring rolls. As someone who is half Filipino, I felt like a fail for not knowing how to cook food from my own culture, but now I know how to make yummy delicious spring rolls!

3. For my school's senior superlatives I was voted most likely to be famous (for girls) and I made it into the senior hall of fame, which is voted on by teachers.

4. Yearbook is THIS close to being finished. I mean, don't get me wrong, we're all sweating bullets trying to get pages sent in before deadline, but I'm starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel!

5. In a mere few weeks I will be in Dallas, dancing my face off to Grouplove and Young the Giant at the Prophet Bar. I.CAN'T.WAIT.

So yeah. Despite having to read Heart of Darkness, complete a take home test for AP Eco, write a children's book for AP Eco, complete AT LEAST two art pieces, and write a paper over Rosencrantz and Guildenstern--- ALL DURING SPRING BREAK--- I'm going to be ok. Everything is great.
COME AT ME WORLD.
