Reminiscence

So, a quarter of my last year in Hinsdale Central is done. Just yesterday I received my report card. To my dismay, this is the first time in all my years in high school that i finally broke the curse of 5.4 gpa. This quarter I received a gpa of 5.6. I do feel quite accomplished, yet at the same time it seems like the grades I obtained are meaningless. With most of my college applications submitted, I find school work almost next to pointless. But because it already is an established routine, I continue to work and study as if I am a freshman all over again.

A lot has happened in this past quarter. First of all, with unbelievable diligence, I finished most of my college applications. All that are left are two or three schools which my aunt and uncle want me to submit against my personal will. But I have until...January? But really I will probably just take my sweet time. Honestly, I just want to go to UIUC because I know I can blend in there quite nicely. However, I also want to go to a college where I can have a fresh start. So even if I do get into UIUC, I may give it a second thought.

With that said, I am slowly shifting my focus back to my school work. Senior year's workload is surprisingly light compare to that of junior year. Maybe because of AP US...which took like 90% of my work time...but hey, at least I get to be the bitch and asked the teacher to curve my 98% to a 99% semester grade just so I can see that + sign on my report card...o ya...I definitely take my liberty to do so..and it worked ^_^

As my friends and I slowly conclude our college application process, we are finally getting together to formulate a routine for the variety show. As many of you might have known already, there is a tryout for the show. So, even though the show itself is happening toward the end of January next year, we must have a solid routine by the end of November so we can have time to perfect it for the coming up tryout. As of now, we are pretty screwed. We still need to teach the basic footworks and steps to most of the members. We haven't even decide on the music which we are going to use yet! Man...this is the one time which procrastination is my sworn enemy...Ah well, I hope this can be done very soon too.

With days of despair in search for my own entertainment until Starcraft 2 is released, I heard a great news! RF Online is coming back, sponsored directly by CCR! The game will be back 3 days before the result of my UIUC application is announced!! I really can't wait! It has been awhile since I touched any real time strategy genre games. I remembered the good old days when I was a general in an ancient clan known as Clan K9 in its Starcraft and Diablo II branches...ah..good old days. Only the good days during middle school was I able to play it as much as my heart desires. I wonder if I will be able to recall the me back when I was ranked 9th in U.S. West Ladder in Starcraft when I start to play Starcraft II. Man, I can feel the blood boiling in my veins ^_^

So much has happened. And I really don't know what to make out of it. With nationals approaching as well, I am getting very nervous. I still have so much I want to amend in my life. With the limited amount of time I have left, I really don't know what to do to maximize it. In a sense, I am wasting my time right now to write this blog post. But I feel like this has to be done. This is the only place where I can speak out my thoughts without fear or restriction. I plan to continue to post blog posts every day during the nationals. I can only pray that all ends well....may God help me amend the scar in my heart.
