I just looked through my web history on Google and it's like reliving the past three years - the school projects, the various life events. Also, it's terrifying.
I am sometimes really leery of the Internet. Like, it's really freaky how much shit is out there, logged and ready to be used - but at the same time, it's almost comforting. I will never really disappear. There's no way for me to be erased without a trace, because my entire life has been tracked. And for someone who is as nostalgic as I am, it's like a little trip down memory lane - the equivalent to going through my "special bins".
Anyway, that wasn't what I was going to discuss in this post originally. I was going to do small life updates.
1. I got into Smith! Yayy!! The letter had a cute little personalized message on it, which mentioned my essay, and it was kind of awesome. The best part was that it was a surprise because it came early. I really hope the rest of my letters come in like these last two have (got into UW-Madison too) - unexpectedly. I'm going to be a nervous wreck if I know the decisions are coming.
2. I will (hopefully) be shadowing soon at this performing arts school for an ethnography I have to write and research for CIS this semester. I'm super excited for it - like, I have been talking about it all the time, which I'm sure is kind of annoying, but whatever. I'm still not sure if it'll work out, but I'm crossing my fingers.
3. I am going to Nashville in three/two and a half days! It's our bi-annual band trip, and there'll be another 18 hour bus ride, so it's both extremely exciting and extremely daunting. I still need to pack and gather supplies and stuff, so I'll be doing that over the next few days.
4. Related to Nashville, I made a scavenger hunt for my sections' page in the band booklet thing that'll be given to everyone, and as a part of that, I made Waldo out of clay. I also made the other characters from those books. I'm planning on hiding them in our hotel, and hopefully someone on the trip will find them. If not, I think I'm going to stick them in random places, and put little notes on them so that people will find them and email a gmail account I just created and then re-hide them, so there'll be like a giant Where's Waldo game kinda, and I really really want it to work, and be super cool, but I'm trying to be realistic.
So yes. That is what is happening right now with me. Now I have to go edit my Personal Literacy Narrative.
