good news and bad news... but mostly good news!

First the good news: I finally got my computer back! It's actually kind of weird using my laptop again after not really using it for 2 weeks. And I bought a hard case for it on Amazon which is supposed to come in a couple days so I just have to be super careful until then.

Other good news is that Laura visited this weekend and I got my charger back! It was fine sharing my dad's but it was very inconvenient sometimes so it's awesome to have it back. Oh and I also got to see Laura! We saw the new Twilight which I surprisingly liked a lot (maybe I'll even write a review!).

Now for the bad news, or really just the not so good news. I haven't finished my application yet and it's due in 3 days. Kinda scary, but I know I'll get it done. I worked on it today and I'm almost done with it. It's just so hard answering questions when I don't even understand the questions themselves! Here's one: "Based upon your personal background, please share what you will contribute to the Class of 2016 at Berkeley Optometry, and beyond, that will add to the range of interests and experiences of this incoming class." What do they want us to say? This question is super annoying because it's basically saying that you can't get into college if you're boring. I asked my mom what I should write and she basically told me I have no interests or experiences. Thanks Mom, you're the best!

Other slightly bad news is that I think I am getting sick. I had a coughing fit today even though I had no previous symptoms. Plus I was super tired even though I got the same amount of sleep as normal. Then I felt kind of feverish and out of it after dinner so I took some Emergen-C and that seemed to help so I'm going to take some more soon and hopefully I'll prevent myself from getting a cold (mind over matter!)

In other news, Fletcher and I went to Target at midnight on Black Friday and even though I originally wasn't planning on buying anything and there wasn't even that much stuff on sale, I ended up spending $200! Eek! I'm going to return a couple things and give some stuff as presents so hopefully it'll be ok that I spent way too much money. Then I also spent a lot of time on Amazon this weekend because they had Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals and I ended up buying all the Twilight movies (for $20 total!), the laptop case, and a couple other movies. But that was a lot less than I wanted to buy so I'm proud of myself! Haha!
