8 DAYS

until the much anticipated and even more venerated Los Angeles Marathon, from Dodger Stadium to Santa Monica Pier.

I got into UCLA today, and although I do not particularly plan on attending, I was immensely excited from seeing the "Congratulations" banner at the very top of the notification.

More tomorrow.

Today

I was happy today. Until about 4:40 P.M. when I finally gathered the courage to check my email and faced disappointment. I wasn't selected to be a Questbridge finalist.

I will get into at least one of the schools that I ranked, and I will be happy regardless of rejection notices, because in the end, everything works out just fine. Congratulations to H and A , two people I have known all along would succeed in this and I know will continue to succeed in everything else they s...

It is currently a quarter to four in the afternoon, and I just thought that I would take a couple of minutes (and then some, as we all probably already know) to do this because as I was eating yogurt (blueberry, yum) a few minutes ago, it occurred to me how much time has passed since I last did this.

But the seemingly, deceivingly "little things" in it... Gosh. What a rip-off. I would like to file a complaint to the deities up or down wherever they may reside (or not). And here I thought that I wasn't going to have much homework today because I had been working on chemistry and only chemistry the entire day yesterday. No joke. Yes, it surprised me, too. And now, I have to do more chemistry (which I don't mind), math (which will undoubted take a long, long time consideri...
