Stockard, that sounds awful! I'm sorry! That's happened to me a lot, actually (same sweating, nausea), but it has always ended with me passing out. The fact that I've experienced it too and am too young for hot flashes makes me think that's not what it was. You're so not old enough anyway.
I sometimes wish they'd ban alcohol here. It'd be HILARIOUS to see the students freak out over that one. I usually go to downtown Cincinnati when I'm looking to get into trouble, so it wouldn't actually affect me.
Schmerg, the college search is never easy...but as others have said, please don't sell yourself short. Without ever having met you, I can tell you're a very smart chick who's going to go far. Apply for anything you even have a fleeting thought about pursuing! I applied to a couple Ivy Leagues KNOWING I'd be flat-out rejected, but I wanted to go to them so badly that I gave it a shot. I got wait-listed at one (and THEN rejected), but even that was a nice, unexpected bonus. I think I ended up applying to about ten schools, and I'd recommend that to anyone who doesn't have an immediate idea of where they want to go.
ETA: sorry I've been writing novels on here lately! I'll try to be more concise next post.
