Exactly One Year Ago

Posted on April 29, 2009 by Sophia

Okay, someone tell me something about Occidental College that wouldn’t appeal to me because I just “discovered” it and it sounds super wonderful. You couldn’t pay me a million dollars to go back to that time of uncertainty and stress. … Continue reading →

I got a response from Oxy today, and I was quite disappointed. Last time I was in contact with the Admissions Office, I was corresponding with the Dean of Admissions, which was really cool. Unfortunately, I’m 99% sure that the … Continue reading →

I feel blue

Today was a crappy. It was cold and rainy all day. I had to present a stupid Hamlet skit. I had to take 6 tests/quizzes, and I didn’t exactly ace them. I’m pretty sure I’m going to end up with … Continue reading →
