Half my busy weekend is over!!
So, in case you didn't read my last post, I went on a college visit today at Messiah College.
I wasn't sure what to expect.
**from here, I will bore you with details I learned about the college that you can skip if you want**
Its a Christian college (as you can guess by the name) and I didn't know what kind of academics they had. I was actually really impressed! It seemed to place a lot of importance in academics and scholarship and their science program seemed really good (I want to go into Biochemistry). They said it was a really difficult program, but it definitely prepared students for the real world (of course all colleges would say that, but I think they were actually telling the truth). We got to see the labs and they had all kinds of cool lab instruments and computer things that I didn't know what they were, but they looked high-tech! And I learned that about 90% of their science students do research projects with faculty and can get their work published. What really proved the quality, for me at least, was that they often work alongside Franklin & Marshall College for research projects. F&M is my other top-choice school and I know that they are very well known for their science program and they wouldn't associate with Messiah unless their science was on par with F&M's science. So that is good!
Unfortunately, now Messiah and Franklin & Marshall are tied for top choice. As Katherine and Rachel know, I'm horrible at making decisions--especially really important ones like this. They are basically the same when it comes to academics. Its just little things that Messiah has and F&M doesn't and then F&M has other things that Messiah doesn't. Its like, if you squished F&M and Messiah together, they would be my perfect college!! It so frustrating!!! I just have to sort out my priorities, I guess...DX
But other than the growing indecision, it was a fun day.
**End of really boring part of post**
What was really odd is that I saw 2 people that I knew at the college today. Its not like its right next door either. Its like seeing someone you know when you're on vacation hours away from home. It just weird!!
1st person - a guy that goes to my church and is on the worship team with me. He just walked by and I'm like, 'I think I know him...' It was early morning, so my brain wasn't working too well. But that was weird.
2nd person - Katherine and Rachel may know him -- his younger brother played Mortimer in Arsenic and Old Lace and a Candlestick in Beauty and the Beast (I know from old play programs which I keep for things such as this) and his last name rhymes with Figelow...?? (if you don't understand my hints, I may remember to tell you on Monday). So, he was our tour guide. That was weird. He told us to say our names and where we were from and I said, "I'm from S------" and he said "No way! I'm from C------!!" It was really really weird...
So that was my interesting day...It left me feeling just tired and confused about what I'm going to do for my future...Oh well, I'll figure it out someday :)
On another note, I was extremely tired. And when I'm so overtired like that, I get hyper. I was with my brother at the time and I started spouting out random stuff about cannibalism and spontaneous combustion and pokemon and whatever else popped into my mind. At one point, it got really weird when my brother said he wants to sell his pokemon cards. Then out of nowhere I started ranting nonsense about my having my own demon wolf customers that come to me through the magic door (which actually leads to the utility closet) and buy my shiny pieces of paper because they don't have shiny things in their demon world and I got in his face about selling is super-special-pokemon cards on MY turf and how he's going to run me out of business and I won't be able to buy my PS3 and then he'll have another thing coming! I sounded like a drug dealer. Anyway, I continued to threaten to have my wolves kill them in his sleep in exchange for super-discounted shiny paper and when he woke up in the morning he wouldn't actually ever wake up because he'd be dead, but he would wake up and be a ghost and he wouldn't even know he's dead and how he could be dead already and not know it!! Mwahahahaha!!!!!

All the while he's literally rofl-ing (hehe. if you say it like it is spelled, it almost sounds like waffling (as in waffle as a verb)<--which is apparently a word because it wasn't underlined in red!! And I know that saying rofl-ing is kinda redundant, but the rhyme with waffling made me giggle so I'm keeping it up there).
So, I believe that is all I have to say for today. I have another early start tomorrow for worship. Katherine and Rachel are still welcomed to youth group if they get this before 6-7pm tomorrow. Its at our church "Den" and I don't know or want to put up the address so you will have to contact me to get the address or get a ride there. You guys are also welcome on any other day we have youth group (I'm pretty sure its every other Sunday at 7pm starting this Sunday). It would be fun for friends to come sometime! We have a good time! We have food! We have table-tennis!
Now this is really all!

I lost the game!!!
Hehehe, I'm watching Advent Children Complete right now, so if my post doesn't make sense in some parts, you know why X3
So, yesterday, I went on a college visit to Franklin & Marshall with Katherine. It was AMAZING. That is my top choice school right now and its going to be hard to beat. The only problem would be the cost...X/
The teachers/faculty were very cool and funny. And it was strange how many Harry Potter references there were!! There were 4 houses, someone talked about a sorting hat (which they don't actually have T.T), someone wrote an essay about Severus Snape, etc. It was awesome!! X3
Then, on the way home, we were sitting in traffic so we blared "My Sitar" into the peaceful Lancaster afternoon...XD. My mom said the song was weird, but still agreed to open the windows, turn up the music, and repeat the song after it finished!
I'm sure Katherine will have some to say about the trip at some point. I'm too brain dead to try to remember more about yesterday right now...
So today was another interesting day! I went to church like normal. Then, after church I had a lunch at Applebee's with my youth group. That was...odd. It was really fun as it usually is with my youth group, but I was sitting between my brother and my dad, both of whom like to bully me...of course, I fight back. My brother teases me, I punch him! X3
So that was fun, and I actually talked! I usually talk a little...SEPHIROTH!!! (Sorry, Kadaj just turned into Sephiroth in Advent children XD)...anyway, I usually talk a little, but this time I talked a lot and it was pretty fun!
And this guy from the table next to ours came over randomly and showed us a trick with a tightly wound straw wrapper. You put a few drops of soda on the table and put the wound up straw wrapper on top of the small puddle. Then it absorbs the soda and starts to wiggle like a worm!!! It was so cool!!!
After the lunch, my Mom-mom picked up me, my brother, and my sister and brought us to see my school's musical, "Beauty and the Beast." Chibi-chan was in it (she was the milk-maid, a knife, and an angry villager). I thought the knife fit her personality and when I saw her in the mob, I thought, 'Chibi with a rake: run for it!!' Apparently, she saw me in the audience at one point and I distracted her and she forgot what she was supposed to be doing! DX I felt bad when she told me that...but then she hugged me and wouldn't let me leave after the show...I didn't feel bad after that. I was worrying more about the loss of circulation in my arm...X3
Then, I went shopping for jeans. Kinda boring. But I thought to include that anyway.
AWWW....Cloud looks like a kitty when he smiles!! (I'm not sure why, but that's the impression I get. And Advent Children is now over. It was good.)
Anyway, on the way home from shopping, my dad stopped to get gas. He made me get out to learn how to pump the gas. So he's telling me how to do it and tells me to squeeze the gas pump thing to start it going. Then, he WALKS AWAY!!! I yell, "Where are you going?!"
"I'm going inside to get a drink."
"What?! You can't go inside and leave me here. I don't know how to stop it!!!" He just went into the store. So I'm freaking out because I wasn't completely listening to when he was telling me how to do it, so I'm just watching the numbers wondering how many gallons the car takes. I remember he said something about it popping at some point, but I don't remember what he said to do when it popped! So when it popped, I was freaking out even more. Meanwhile, my dad is inside buying a soda and he overhears the workers saying that someone is trying to get help by calling the desk but they can't understand what the person is saying. My dad is then thinking, 'Oh, no. She did not call the desk and start freaking out at them in a decibel that only dogs can hear.' So he turns around and at that point, I had seen him go up to the counter and I was waiting for him to turn around or come out. He turns around and sees me gesturing at him, but he can't hear what I'm saying. So he seriously thinks that its me freaking out to the people at the gas station and then gesturing at them like an idiot. (I was not actually the one that called in, but it scared my dad X3). He comes out and I'm really angry and crying and everything. Yeah, I was really mad at him for leaving me out there like that. Oh well, no the gas station has some interesting security tapes...T.T
Then in the car again, he asked me, "What were you freaking out about? Its just gas!"
"I don't know, I could have exploded the whole gas station or something with FRICTION!!!" (I meant static, but said friction for some reason. I was thinking of a Mythbusters episode that tested the gas station explosions because of static myth but I couldn't remember if it was confirmed or not).
To that statement, he laughed at me and asked, "What, were you standing there rubbing your feet on the ground or something?!"
Then he continued to laugh at me and I continued to say stuff in an attempt to defend myself, but could find nothing to say that helped my case at all...
My mom cracked up hysterically imagining me gesturing at the people in the gas station and calling the desk and freaking out at them. She was laughing for about 10 minutes. I think her homework was stressing her out a little much.
The End
