6:55 pm	Canada, eh? Hmmmm, spring break is a nonstop party. After four days of double practices, I hopped a plane to Montreal and stayed there for three days. I checked out McGill, which looks like a fun place to be but the classes I observed weren't that interesting. Jamie, Anna McDowell and Anna K.E. were on my tour--how weird is that? Seriously. Then I bumped into Rina Breakstone, then I called Adam Poole and made him show me around campus. Montreal is a really cool city but I seriously fail at French. Anyway, today we drove across eastern Canada to Toronto and now I'm hiding in the basement avoiding my relatives with whom we are staying. An incident at my grandfather's 80th birthday last week sparked World War III between my mom and all her siblings, and I REALLY don't want to get in the middle of it. BUT we're going to see NYU on Monday, which will be awesome. I love cool cities. Oh, and it's snowing all the time here. Craaaaazy. P.S. What chapters are we supposed to read for AP Gov't? When is Carton's essay due? Do we have a Latin test on the chapters we're reading in English/if so, when? Basically, total amount of homework done to date=zero. Current Mood: exhausted (applaud)

11:40 pm	Sawyer: "You taste like strawberries." Kate: "You taste like fish biscuits." BU app done. Another one bites the dust. Can somebody in AP French do me a big favor tomorrow and tell Ms. Carta that I'm late because I have an orthodontist appointment? Please please please? I tried to tell her today but she wasn't in her room at lunch or after school. Eeeeuuuuurrrrgghhh. I'm not looking forward to this essay tomorrow. (16 standing ovations | applaud)

12:29 pm	Does anyone understand math? I'm seriously freaking out right now. Is anyone available for an emergency study group today? Because really, I don't even know what material this test covers, and the review sheet he gave us makes no sense. Sooooo...pleasepleaseplease help? Current Mood: freaking out (3 standing ovations | applaud)

9:25 pm	Have spent entire weekend (so far) watching Lost season 2. Am exhausted/infatuated. Mmmmmm...Sawyer. Josh Holloway does wet/dirty/sweaty/unshaven better than any actor I've ever seen. Anyhoo...Thanksgiving chez my dad's girlfriend's brother was somewhat less awkward than I'd anticipated, but that doesn't really mean much. Crew tomorrow. Balls. Current Mood: listless (applaud)

4:31 pm	Soooo, I'm sick. And I have a show tonight. Great. And I haven't been to crew in three weeks and my coach is really mad at me. But on the bright side, working at the polls was kind of fun. There were a ton of hot college boys, and I got to ask them their last name and address. But not in a stalkery way. But then I got sick and had to go home early. Oh, but DEMS GOT CONGRESS!!!!! Yay. I'm so proud of Virginia. P.S. Come see Guys and Dolls! Current Mood: sick (3 standing ovations | applaud)

6:24 pm	I SUBMITTED MY FIRST APPLICATION!!!!!!! GO ME!!! Seriously, though, it's SUCH a relief to have it done. Ohmigosh. Now I'm going to go eat some chocolate. Current Mood: elated (3 standing ovations | applaud)

9:25 pm	Ohhhhh man. Spirit week was entertaining. Probably because I no longer mind when other people are really...um...altered. Being a senior helps, too. Went to my first rally. Cool. Sooo, I may stroke the novice 8. I am so pumped. This morning was the understudies' concert for Guys & Dolls. Um, I definitely kind of sucked, because my song was wayyy out of my range, but it was okay, because people were really nice about it. My brother did a good job. It was rather cute. I have spent most of this weekend watching the first season of Lost. It's amazing. And really nice to look at. Particularly Sawyer. Mmmmm...sexy. Tomorrow, math study group! Awesome. Anyone else going? P.S. I feel like I'm getting sick. This is a really bad time for a throat problem... Current Mood: tired (4 standing ovations | applaud)

8:42 pm	Does anyone else feel like they no longer have a life? Yes, this is going to be one of those posts, wherein I bitch about my life. You ready? Yesterday my mother forced me to stay home for Yom Kippur. 'How delightful, a day at home', you may say. But I knew better. I awoke at 5:40 for crew, and returned home at 8:15. As soon as I got back, I cracked open my econ book and got through all but three pages of chapter 17. Once I could no longer decipher the words on the page, I turned to Latin, translating two assignments. Then, on my mother's strict orders, I spent a solid hour organizing a closet downstairs (as if I didn't have enough to do), then took out all the garbage in the house. At 1:30, I went to the synagogue to pick up my brother, and we spent a half-hour counting cars for the Beth El parking committee (again, my mother's idea). When we got back, I started my Bible as Lit homework, which Carton had assigned despite the fact that a) it was Yom Kippur and b) he himself had not been in class for the past week. At 5:15 I went to rehearsal, which lasted until 8, by which time I was starving. Then I organized college envelopes well into the wee hours (i.e. 11:30, which seems pretty late when you've been up since 5:40). And I still wasn't done. The point of all this is that it seems like we don't have any free time anymore. I took a whole day off of school, and STILL didn't get everything done. And whenever I have a short break between assignments, I feel like I should be working on college essays, or something. I'm getting so far behind in my classes, or just barely keeping my head above water. Somebody tell me I'm not crazy? I miss people, like normal human interaction outside a classroom setting. I haven't done anything with anyone for a really long time, and I wish I could, but there's just so much going on. I don't think I've even seen a movie since school started. P.S. I miss Neal. The play is no fun without him. Just thought I'd put that out there while I'm being angsty. (12 standing ovations | applaud)

11:40 am	I hate Jewish holidays. And little children. And my brother's friend Dimitri. This weekend sucks. That is all. (2 standing ovations | applaud)

10:51 pm	Yay, I'm 17! My birthday was pretty cool. We were supposed to have quizzes in English and Latin, but they both got postponed. Score. Also, I had two study periods (math and envirosci) so I got most of my homework done (in theory). And we watched a movie in English. So I really only had to work in French, Econ, and Latin. Soooo, yeah. That's about it, really. Now sleep. I'm going to bed early as a present to myself. (15 standing ovations | applaud)

12:04 am	goddammit, I am a meme h0r please: give me one thing i should change about myself/what i do/how i act/etc. give me one thing i should not change about myself/whatido/how i act/etc. Comments are screened. In other news, working sucks. I caterer-assisted a memorial service today from 11 to 3:30, went to the gym from 4 to 5:30, then babysat from 6:15 to 9:15. My life is one neverending party. I don't want to go back to school. Actually, I don't care about school, it's crew that I don't want to go back to. And the whole college thing. I didn't even look at my senior profile all summer. Ditto college essay. And the piles and piles of "literature" from schools. My room looks like a paper hurricane hit. Good night/morning. Current Mood: tired (applaud)

10:21 pm	Don't forget: Accepted, tomorrow, 4:00, United Artists Shattuck. I promise, this is my last reminder. 100k bike ride today. It was kickass. Riding in a paceline is fuckin' hard, but it's soooo worth it. I was in the fast group for the first 30 miles, and we were passing everybody, and it was SWEET. Dude. I am not going to be able to walk tomorrow, but that's okay. Dirty Dancing is a weird movie. Patrick Swayze is creepy. Eeew. Current Mood: accomplished (applaud)

9:02 pm	Yesterday night I was walking down Solano and I saw Emily Stein, Leah and Henry, Mari, and Mark Krey. Weird. Also, sewing is fun. I made an apron and a bag and a teeny tiny skirt that was supposed to be shorts but was too small. (applaud)
9:19 am	Accepted people: I'm thinking Monday at 4:45. Let's meet before, maybe 4:00, for milkshakes or something. Meet in front of United Artists and we can go from there. Cool. (applaud)
Wednesday, August 16th, 2006
3:32 pm	Movie poll So, who wants to go see Accepted with me? Yes, it looks stupid, but I still want to see it. I'm thinking United Artists downtown, either Friday or Monday, 4:45 or 7:15. Opinions? The more the merrier, people! (8 standing ovations | applaud)

6:24 pm	Mmmm, bar mitzvah-y goodness So, Jordan had his bar mitzvah on Saturday. It was really cute, and he did really well, and the party was really fun, but I hated having all the relatives around. You know how when a ton of old people come to visit, you kind of feel like you're in a zoo? Like, they keep staring at you, and taking pictures, and you know they're whispering stuff like "Ohhh, she's so big!" and "Isn't she pretty" and "Wow, look at that exotic plumage!" (okay, maybe not the last one, but...). It sucks. Also, I'm sick of talking about camp. Everybody's like "Wow, that must have been fun!", and I either have to say "Well, actually, no, it wasn't," or just kind of mumble something noncommittal and vague. Or I could just lie, but that always leads to more questions. Everybody left this morning (thank God) except my aunt and her two kids: Hannah (5) and Nathan (7 months?ish). They're both dangerously cute, but Hannah follows me around practically nonstop and it gets really annoying. Fortunately, our neighbors just got back from France, and they have a 5-year-old daughter too, so maybe I'll get a little peace now. Also, it's really awkward carrying Nathan around, because I can tell people wonder if he's mine. I was wheeling him through Target today, and these people were staring at us, and I was like "he's not my baby..." and then I felt even more awkward. Goooood times. I'm really excited for my 100k bike ride next weekend. I've decided to try to set up a road biking club this year (for real this time). Speaking of (shudder) school, can someone copy the AP French reading for me? Or let me borrow it so I can copy it myself? Or something? I have to start remembering French. I love summer. But I'm kind of bored. Who is around and wants to hang out/see a movie/go shopping/etc? Current Mood: mellow (4 standing ovations | applaud)

11:37 pm	My day was excellent. I woke up at 12:30 (I can't even remember the last time I slept that late) and ate ice cream while watching Back to the Future part 1 (an amazing movie. Michael J. Fox was a cutie in his day). Then I dragged myself away from the TV to go to the gym. My new plan is that I eat whatever the fuck I want (ice cream by the quart, basically. And toast.) but I work out every day. I am going to be so ripped by the end of the summer. And weigh a lot, probably. But I'll be ripped. Oh yeah, so here's my new crazy idea: I want to do a triathlon. Will somebody do it with me? Please please please? Just think of the bragging rights! That reminds me, I have to get my ghetto bike fixed. Today, the second gear broke. Now I have one gear. And that's just not going to cut it in Berkeley. Getting new music is fun. Yesterday I went on an iTunes rampage. Also, my ipod actually isn't broken (knock on wood). I thought it was. But it's not. Okay, I'm running out of stuff to say. Y'all have a nice night, y'hear? (4 standing ovations | applaud)
8:03 pm	So what's the deal with senior portraits? Do you have to get them? Can you get them taken just for the yearbook and not have to buy any? I'm so confused. The one thing I know is that I'm not paying $200 for some ugly-ass picture of myself. Sheeeit. (14 standing ovations | applaud)
