Another Day Gone By

Today turned ot to be far more uneventful than I would have hoped. I got up, talked online for a bit, went to modified practice, went grocery shopping and started a jigsaw puzzle while my homework sat beside me untouched.

I did however get my first acceptance letter to a college...Allegheny College to be exact. It wasn't a surprise, but I'm officially in now if I want it. They also told me that I have been granted a Trustee Scholarship of amount to be determined, this is their highest scholarship and I'm happy.

I also took a personality profiler test...I hate these things. They always emphasize the negative, and things you already know and hat about yourself. This one was particularly fun, asking me hypothetical statements and having me reply agree disagree or somewhere in the tween zone. My particular favorite: I am mystical, I strongly disagreed. Here's the results if anyone cares:

depressed, introverted, neat, needs things to be extremely clean, observer, perfectionist, not self revealing, does not make friends easily, suspicious, irritable, hates large parties, follows the rules, worrying, does not like to stand out, fragile, phobic, submissive, dislikes leadership, cautious, takes precautions, focuses on hidden motives, good at saving money, solitary, familiar with the dark side of life, hard working, emotionally sensitive, prudent, altruistic, heart over mind, unadventurous

it always saddens me when these things are right.

However, I have one thing that this test does not have...good friends, one in particular who likes large parties...and this particular friend (name beginnung with Ray and ending with chole) pointed out a few key traits that this test did not pick up on...

fun, loyal friend, intelligent, excellent sense of humor, balance to careless friends, thoughtful, always remembers birthdays, great gift-giver, efficient worker, prioritizer, loving even though she wouldn't admit it...

I find it ever helpful to have optimistic friends, and I love them so.

Each one of my friends is special to me.
From Rachel, who does stuff like this and always is coming out with little surprises that just amaze me each and every day as to how wonderful a friend can be,
to Melanie, my partner in criminalistic activity, our personalities and views on life may clash sooo much, but when we're together, there is no knowing what to expect...it is always awesome though.
Carolyn has it together, or at least she makes it look that way. She is extremely intelligent and can be my go to gal for almost any situation. She has opened my mind to so many things, mostly in the music department.
Emily is Emily, she's a bit off the walls, but always a bundle of joy. Spontaneous and wild, she has brought a lot of good times to my life over the past 10 years.

There are also three people I've met this year who have changed my life FOREVER. I've come to the serious realization of what I need to be in order to succeed outside of High School...not a bitch, and these girls have shown it to me by showing me how to make new friends and be loyal to each. I seriously don't know what I would have done had these girls not come into my life, though I'm sure I would be getting by just fine. I hate referring to them as a group, but it's hard not to and I know everyone knows who I'm talking about, but Tyna, Irenka and Jitka have really brought me out this year.

Thank you all of my friends.

When did this post become so mushy gushy? Oh yeah, when I needed sleep, sorry about that folks, but I'm not going to erase it. This quickly became an interesting entry, but that's the way (uh-huh, uh-huh) I like it.

good night folks, and have a pleasant tomorrow.

*gasp* Stacy has a soul! Hahahaha. Just messin' with ya. By the way, found a book at work last night about doing something every day of the year to better organize your home, and live a happier and more peaceful life. It made me think of you. I was going to check it out for you, until it occured to me that you are not the one that needs it- I am. So I skimmed it and today I organized my medicine cabinet. Long story, just thought you would like to know.

And you worry about not making friends in college. You made three great new ones this year (which by the way is a good thing, and not abandonment). So you're on a roll. And as far as next year is concerned, come home and breaks and get a webcam, keep bloging, and we are set for the forseeable future and beyond.

Now that this has been the longest comment in the world, I'll say ciao.
