It’s been a few days since the end of the conference, actually close to a week now, and everyone is back to the daily grind of whatever they do during the summer. After I slept 13 hours to make up for the sleep lost during the conference, I effectively messed up my sleep schedule making it really hard to get up for work. I slept until 3, and then stayed up until nearly 3, then didn’t wake up until 12 and so the bad sleep cycle started. I fixed that yesterday by finally waking up at a normal time – 10 AM, and going to sleep at midnight.
Well after a few boring days of sleeping in, watching TV and going to work, I finally have something fun to do today! Write college essays! Well, I figured I would get started on them since I have to hand in 3 for English as summer work and I’m not going to work today because I have bowling practice/ camp for school! The real reason I have something fun to do, I love that team! 🙂 Anyway, for some of the questions I wonder how anyone can come up with an answer and make it a page long, or how anyone even came up with the question! Some of the most…imaginative: “If you were to describe yourself in terms of a fictional character, who would it be?” and “Imagine the year is 1881. You may expect to live another fifty years. What person would you most want to know and why?” I actually like the second one, I was thinking Teddy Roosevelt, but I’m not sure why yet. Yeah I was just thinking about this because of Dean Flagel saying how ridiculous some of the questions are like “If you could be a tree, what kind of tree would you be?” to which I would say I’d be a Palm tree, because I’d always be in the warm, tropical areas, but that’s not exactly a page.
This summer looks like it will be a busy one for the rest of the way. I’m going up to Boston for a week to visit a few more schools, then down the shore the week after. I’m also working 3 days a week, have 2 bowling camps, college essays and applications, summer reading, getting my license, and if my mom lets me play tennis, tennis practice. There is a lot more stuff I want to do this summer, like go to a few Phillies games with my friends, and of course have everyone down to my shore house.
I’m not going to lie, I don’t want summer to end, even if we are going to be seniors. The school year isn’t exactly going to be easy, even though it will be really cool to finally be seniors, because we get to own everyone on field day, go on senior trip, senior prom, get to use the senior picnic area and wear the blue lanyards! (lol) High school has really gone by fast! I have to get back to thinking about and writing my essays now. I’ll try to continue to blog even though I’ll be very busy for the rest of the summer and the school year.
