I've been extremely busy that past couple of weeks! I have a ap government project, an anatomy project and a statistics project right now, as well as getting ready for christmas and submitting my last couple of applications! So I truely apologize for not having submitted a Vlog to you guys! I've been doing homework till about 6-7 a-clock every night and have not been able to go through the video editing process! I'm going to try and work on one this week and worst come to worst, I'll be able to make one this coming weekend! School is going well though, on another note though! I've got almost straight A's! The only thing that is starting to suck now is that many of my friends are getting accepted to their dream schools! and I don't start to hear back from schools till mid January, and I don't hear from the one's I REALLY care about until March or April! I can't wait that long! haha! Also, last night I went to submit my UVA app and my Emerson app on commonapp.org and commonapp got me extremely frustrated with their operating system! When you complete one application, it presets all of the information into the next one, as well as the essays, and you can't change them...so you have to go through a series of steps to create like a "duplicate commonapp" that you can edit for seperate colleges. WHAT?! Why on earth would they do it like that?! They should just have each application separate...hahah! Ridiculous!

Another beginning to a week! I'm currently editing a blog! As, far as how my Monday went, it was great! I have that gut feeling that it's going to be a good, successful week! I'm going to start working on my last UVA essay tmr and I plan on submitting my apps for UVA and Emerson this weekend! Tomorrow I'm going christmas shopping with ashley! I can't wait! And this Friday I'm going to ice skating with a couple friends and then to a resteraunt called Cosi! It's going to be a blast!

What a frustrating friday...okay, so my whole friday wasn't that bad. My school day was normal, nothing exciting, nothing especially bad but I came home with the intentions of making a vlog to submit. Yeah...epic fail. I spent about 2 hours trying to figure out my computer programs, then when I finally get it almost completely finished, I accidentally deleted the video files and I can't find them anywhere on my computer! So I guess Monday I'll be submitting a vlog...gosh, I'm so frustrated! haha! Well, look forward to it on Monday because I plan to just update the one I was trying to submit today and it looked kinda cool! Have a great weekend!

Today, although it was long, was very good because I was able to accomplish a lot! I scheduled two interviews for my anatomy project, did my statistics homework, ap government homework, and also met with my counselor during the school day to talk about my transcripts. He talked to me about when they send them to the schools and why: two weeks before the schools deadline because evidently a lot of schools will loose it if your application isn't in yet, so they hope that by that time it is. But he also told me that if I want them sent earlier all I have to do is ask, so I'm going to start letting him know when I submit my apps so that he can go ahead and send my transcripts. Also, this past weekend I submitted my Radford application, which is a priority app as of recently, and am going to be submitting my UVA app tomorrow night! After I get Mr. Ketch to look over my last essay for it! Ahhh! After that one I only have two more to submit! I can't believe how fast it all went by! And speaking of time flying, tomorrow is the first day of December! Can you believe it?! And I have a feeling that Christmas will be here before I know it! Which is great because I'm so excited but also sad because the holiday season is going to begun! Ugh!...well, I gotta go.
Until later,
Catherine

I hope that everybody had a great Thanksgiving! All of my extended family left yesterday morning, and I have to say- all though it's really nice to have all your family home and together, it's nice when it's only you and your parents again as well. This thanksgiving I had my grandparents here, two of my cousins, and one of my moms close friends! There was a total of nine people which is a lot more than normal for us! haha! Our dinner table was PACKED! haha! It was a lot of fun though and I'm really excited now because Thanksgiving launches the count down to Christmas! I went shopping a little bit yesterday and the decorations every where, the bells ringing, the gift boxes in all the stores and the offering of gift receipts-- I LOVE IT! haha! I gotta go now though because I'm finishing up a couple of my essays to submit my applications to UVA and Emerson!

Today is not going my way. I woke up only thirty minutes before I had to leave for school and had to take a shower so I ended up just putting my hair up in a messy bun because I had no time to dry and straighten it. Then I find out that this guy who I broke up with, who is still trying to get back with me, is flirting with just about every girl on the planet. Anddd although I had absolutely no intention of getting back together with him, it's still emensly frustrating. haha. I'm just trying to make it through the school day now. And when I get home I have to call some medical professionals and set up interviews for my big anatomy project as well as start to write my second essay for University of Virginia because I'm hoping to submit that application this weekend as well as the one to Emerson. Hopefully!! If I can get the essays done! haha

I saw New Moon at midnight last night with four of my best friends! We got there two hours early so that we could get good seats and actually ended up meeting this girl who goes to premiers all the time so knew all the tricks to being the first ones into an empty theatre for first pick of seats..it was awesome! I really liked the move too! I though they did a much better job than they did with the first one and it was really obvious that they had a higher budget this time! The quality was just a lot better! I didn't get home until about 3 AM so my mom let me take today off and chill out. I went by the bookstore to buy A Time to Kill because it's a movie that I've seen and I've always wanted to read the book! So I'm about to go relax and start reading it No new news on any of my college apps yet..I'm going to try and submit my apps to UVA and Emerson this weekend though!

Yesterday I got a letter from Radford offering me their priority application! I was really surprised because I get offered them a lot but not for schools that I'm applying to and I'm actually applying to that school! So I thought that was awesome! My dad left yesterday on a business trip so it's just my mom and me till Thursday. It's kind of nice when it's just us because we cook a little two person dinner, then watch a movie that we both want to watch, without having to worry if the other people in my family would want to watch it. lol Last night we watched The Boy in the Striped Pajamas...it was a heartbraking story. It definitely was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time and they did an amazing job of bringing the little boys in the film to life and really making you care about them! I really think everyone should see it! Oh, and on Thursday, I'm going with a bunch of my friends to the premier of Twilight: New Moon! WOOO! hahah! I can't wait!
