Good luck nia.... I'm sure you did very well.

Posted: 4/23/06 at 11:12pm

Yeah, Jessica is hella smart (yes, I just used that word)!

I wasn't trying to suggest that you leave now, nia. Just that staying up late for the sole purpose of viewing your SAT scores might not be the wisest move if you're already somewhat tired. For all I know, though, they could have changed the posting time. Let us know after you view them (if you'd like, obviously!).

Well, I know I monumentally F*CKed up one section because the time was getting to me and I was falling asleep.

I know you weren't being mean, Siamese. I usually go to bed around this time, though and I'm not going to stay up for my scores if they take that long.

I just had a mini panic attack. It was my week to do quotes for my discussion section, and I was suppposed to email them out to everyone today by noon. I've been so out of it today, that I didn't even remember until just now. *sigh*

Aww, thanks Elphie. I cracked up when I saw that quotation in the school paper - most of you guys have seen at least one of my posts about my bad luck with fire drills/alarms and their tendency to happen while I'm in my pajamas watching TV.

I remember one time my SAT 2 scores got posted the day before they were scheduled to and from then on I would always check the site a day or two early just in case it happened again (it didn't, and I was always disappointed that they "only" got posted right on time. Yeah, if patience is a virtue, I booked my one-way ticket to hell long ago.)

Heee, Lexi said "hella!" That was pretty much the favorite word of a frequent poster on a message board I used to moderate (he was from San Francisco, apparently people say it a lot there, and he pretty much got the whole board using it). He ended up going to NYU and when we got together for dinner, I cracked up every time he said it.

My showtune-lovin'-but-straight friend uses that word as well. He's originally from San Francisco and says it's his "birthright" to use the word.

I can't wait to go to dinner with youuuuu, Jessica.

Back to banal: My contacts are dry. Probably a sign that I should get to sleep soon.

Dry contacts are the worst.

I'm off to bed now and will report back on my SAT tomorrow afternoon. *wave* Goodnight, lovelies.

If we're still doing prom pictures, this is a small, very blurry one of my dress:



I can't believe that that was three years ago! Time flies.

Posted: 4/23/06 at 11:23pm

Contact talk reminds me that I probably shouldn't be using Renu solution. Goodnight, nia!

Aw, it's so blurry. But it's purdy from what I can see.

'night nia!

Your dress looks pretty even though it's blurry.

Yay, I FINALLY got in touch with my group member. *finishes project*

Goodnight, nia.

I can't wait either, Lexi! So many great restaurants you need to try, so much time

I once fell asleep with my contacts still in. Not a pleasant thing to wake up to the next morning, but not as horrible as my mom's freakout over it would have suggested.

[sweetestsiren]

Posted: 4/23/06 at 11:27pm

Goodnight, nia!

Yeah.... my scanner has mysteriously stopped working since I installed the printer drivers on this computer, so it's a picture of a picture, and those never turn out well. :-/

Anyway, the bodice was cream-colored with gold embroidery and rosettes across the top, and the skirt part was gold. I had THE most impossible time trying to find gold shoes that matched because apparently it was all about silver that year.

Jessica, I used to do that all the time. I've stopped lately, though, because it was really killing my eyes. It's really not good for you, and I hope I didn't cause any damage by doing that for months.

My mom flipped out when she found out I was doing that, too. Our moms sound similar!

The one time I did it, it was completely by accident. I have the kind of lenses that you put in solution every night and change once a month, and on the last day of wearing a pair, instead of taking them off before I take a shower like I usually do I keep them in until I'm getting ready for bed. I stayed up too late, completely forgot, and then wondered why my eyes felt so funny when I woke up the next morning.

My mom has a tendency to flip out over things not worth flipping out over, but in this case I could sort of understand why. She has the kind of lenses that you keep for an entire year and have a much more involved daily cleaning process, and if you leave those in overnight it apparently hurts like hell.

Eek, contacts can be scary! My brother's friend's mom left hers in overnight and when she took them out - dry - the next day, she ripped something in her eye. She's now completely blind in one eye. Forever! That's terrifying to me.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 4/24/06 at 12:02am

That's really scary!

I need a hot shower.

[kissmycookie]

Posted: 4/24/06 at 12:19am

Did you take one, Em?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 4/24/06 at 12:19am

In a couple minutes.

Posted: 4/24/06 at 12:31am

*points to username* I'm not remotely tired and as soon as I laid down, I rememberd a million things I have to do soon. *frets*

Hey Em, I still have my copy of that Newsweek... (the one in your avatar pic).

Posted: 4/24/06 at 12:34am

I'm sorry. My schedule for May is INSANELY busy as well. I'm also scheduled to get my wisdom teeth out at the end of the month. How fun. I can already feel one poking through my gum.

At least you'll be able to see if they've changed the posting time to an earlier hour.

[insomniak]

Posted: 4/24/06 at 12:36am

Nope; they're still not up.

I have to:
Get started on my research project and experimental design for AP/IB bio
Begin planning my 5000 word research/analysis paper for IB
Study for the AP bio and AP english exams
Finish a painting
Do my stats project
And one other huge thing that's got my stomach in knots.

What about you?

You paint? That's pretty neat. I have no artistic ability whatsoever. You should show us some of your work.

I have to give a speech at a National Honor Society luncheon, study for/take the AP Bio and English exams, help to throw my graduation party, actually start practicing the piano for my upcoming recital, apply for a job at Starbucks, graduate, and go through wisdom teeth surgery. Heh. I could really do without everything but graduation itself.

I'm in a weird mood, and I'm cutting my nails way shorter that I have to.
