Hello Katherine!

Posted by psychicpigeon in Uncategorized
Before I start babbling about some things… Let me greet you first with a cheery Happy Christmas! Okay, now that we have that out of the way…
Okay, so I got accepted in three of the six colleges I applied to… Holy Names University, Notre Dame de Namur University, and Mount St. Mary’s College. Geez. Problem is, I don’t really want to go to any of them… I really, really, really want to go to University of SF but I still haven’t heard from them. I only applied to Mount (the only college in L.A. that I applied to) because my parents wanted me to try it out and well, I got in. My dad was so excited because he was the one who received the admission letter… looks like my parents have no plan of letting me go anywhere farther than 25 miles away from home. So… I negotiated with them… well, actually, it was MY decision and I just told them that but it sounded like a compromise to me so bugger off my case… I said that I will ignore my admission to HNU and NDNU… and I will attend Mount IF and only IF I don’t get in USF. If I do, then bye-bye L.A. for me. Sigh. I do have my doubts about USF but I don’t think I have ever prayed harder for something else that I wanted so bad in the past. Heh. The first week of January is the D-day of USF admission decisions so please pray for me… How come the places I don’t want to go to accepted me but I haven’t heard from the one I really want? Huh? huh? Funny thing is, I am missing Letter of Recommendations from all those six colleges but for some reason they still let me in. Makes you think, huh?
Oh yeah, I did go to SF with my friends… we spent about half of the trip sleeping in the hotel, next quarter driving around and getting lost, and the last quarter actually getting to do some sight-seeing. It was fun… walking around, having my picture taken with complete strangers and dancing ‘Three Bears’ in the middle of the road, fisherman’s wharf, and anywhere else conceivable. Not to mention having my friends smell my terrifyingly nasty smelling fart and poop… that’s the problem with sharing hotel rooms with 3 other people… Heehaw… but it was definitely fun. We only had 1 disposable camera for the trip and I spent about 5 shots shooting cows and rainbows–what the hell! My voice is still hoarse from screaming on our trip back. We left SF at 6 PM and we got back in L.A. at 6 AM… yeah, we spent a good 12 hours on our way back. Well, we tried to keep ourselves awake with out resident driver Yves by spotting words in signs, buses, and plate numbers…. screaming proved to be a good mean of keeping awake but after a while, being sleepy-poos all four of us, we gave up and pulled over in Nowhereville Taco Bell’s Parking lot and slept in the car… and then we woke up after 45 minutes and drove back again… but after an hour, we decided to get some good sleep for good and once again we pulled over our favorite place to sleep–a fast food place’s parking lot… this time, it’s Jack in the Box! I think we slept for a good 2 hours or more and then we finally drove home.
So that’s pretty much what I have to say about some shit. Oh yeah, I’ll tell you more about this shit scary movie called Shutter some other time. For now, I have to clean our bathroom. Bye now.

Woohoohoo!

Sounds like I have good news? Aye! Right you are! Why?  Because… dan-da-da-dan! Yesterday I received my Admission letter from Notre Dame de Namur… Ahahahaha! I’m so happy because that is my second-choice suniversity… Holy Names (the university who admitted me first–the one I was talking about in my last post) is my 3rd choice… so there. My first choice is the University of San Francisco but I still haven’t heard from them. I don’t have any worries though because at this point, I am perfectly happy with NDNU… getting in USF would be ecstatic but ecstasy is not really necessary for me to go on with my life… all I need is a letter from USF telling me whether I got in or not… Hahaha! My point is, I am leaving and ready to conquer the "indenpendent" life.

That’s about it… I figured that since this is MY blog, I have UNLIMITED bragging rights in here… as I don’t have any anywhere else.

Bye bye.

Final Answer?

Posted by psychicpigeon in Uncategorized
Well now… I haven’t posted for a short while. Alright, time for updates!
**My Army journey will be put on hold as I have decided to continue my pointless pursuit of knowledge in an equally dumbfounding institution–a.k.a. College. Yep, it’s official… Come January, I will be moving to the beautiful Bay Area to go to college (Goodbye Los Angeles, Hell-o San Francisco!). A small but good university have accepted me BUT I am still awaiting the decision of the other University that I really, really want to go to (Pray for me please!)… My point is, I’m leaving my comfortable, nurturing nest and will voluntary feed my self to the wolves… or some cute guy. Ahahaha!
————-
Q & A:
Q: So Katherine, what will you study there and what career do you plan to pursue when you graduate?
A: I have some majors in mind, but I am not sure which one to seriously complete. As for the career, the only thing I can guarantee you is that I will have a good-paying job or else I won’t be able to pay for my future humongous student loan. Next.
——
Q: Are you nervous about moving out for the first time? And so far away for that matter?
A: I am shit scared out of my brains but heck, you gotta do what you gotta do. I seriously considered being a contemplative nun before (Meaning I will be holed up in a monastery for the rest of my life) and I figured that if I seriously thought I would do that, then what a difference a "home once-a-month" makes. San Francisco is not that far… about 300 something miles away from Los Angeles–and still in Californi-ay! Plus, I’ve always wanted to try out being "independent" without really having to be "independent." If you know what I mean….
——
Q: What preparations are you doing now?
A: Well, for starters, I am on a strict diet… For the past week, I haven’t exceeded 500 calories in food intake per day… I lost like about a pound a day… It’s actually scary. I gotta look good when I get there! New life, new look! But that’s about it for now…
——
Q: Have you been doing drugs?
A: Does Helium count?
——
Q: So you are generally living healthy at the moment?
A: You bet I am… Imagine, I am actually guzzling water now, I take a shower everyday, I brush and floss my teeth everyday, I exercise everyday–my goodness! I am sorta sick though because remember those terrible backaches I’ve been bitching about since who knows when? Well, it’s here, it’s getting worse, and I feel that it’s here to stay. Shit. Imagine if I look like an 80 year old woman with an osteoporosis by the time I’m 25… Hell, I better call a fcking doctor…
——
Q: Any updates to your "Obsession List" ?
A: Oyez! I went to Barnes and Noble with my mom yesterday and I got a hold of these golden shojos (manga) titled "Hot Gimmick" and I got to read about 2 volumes… I am so freakin’ hooked… but I don’t have any funds right now and my parents won’t get them for me. They are scary expensive and to quote a cousin’s bag’s slogan: Anime, Crack is Cheaper. So I guess I should just do crack huh? LOL. No, seriously, I want them but I don’t have any money. I am also hogging over Billie Holiday, Mahatma Gandhi, and some other stuff.
——
Q: Is your laptop fixed?
A: Nope. I am actually losing hope of that stupid machine of ever working again. So I am currently looking for a laptop, even from those refurbished ones from Dell just so I can have when I go off to the University… I am also currently going from one computer to another… whichever is free–My brother’s or my parent’s PC… and today is actually my lucky day because my brother is out and I have his PC all for myself!
——
Wow, this post is seriously long. Now I feel bad that you’ve spent alot of your precious time reading this… and to think it’s all about me. I better end this. I may be posting again before or after I go to SF with my friends. Bye.
Catch you later!
