Monday I started my application to Texas A&M. I was banking on being in Top 10%, and therefore knew in the back of my mind I was already going to be accepted. Still doesn't make it any less stressful though! I knew I was in the top 5% at the end of my sophmore year, but didn't really know where I would stand after Junior Year considering I had taken art, BCIS, and swimming which would all be considered on-level and therefore would drop my GPA. I started filling out the application, and got so flustered realizing just how close and real college is now.
Tuesday I was up at school taking Senior Pictures for the yearbook. Wearing the graduation gown (well... the top of the gown anyways), and the cap was like "woah... I'm not ready for this yet! I don't graduate till June 5th (I think), isn't this kinda early to be thinking about cap and gowns??
Wednesday I went up to school to try to get my transcript. Um. Yeah. That didn't work out as planned. Long story short, I left very irritated at the administration/registrars, and left without a transcript.
Thursday I worked on my college app and finished most of it, minus the scholarship part and the essays.
This morning I was up at school for Senior Orientation. We got our parking spaces for this year (yahoo being closer to the school!), class ranks, yearbooks, mock-schedules, and were able to sign up for lockers. Since when do you SIGN UP for lockers?? WEIRD! After my JR year I'm ranked number 32 in my class out of 775, which places me in the top 4% of my class with a GPS of 6.6something. I was STOKED! I knew this meant that once I get everything turned into A&M I'll be accepted :). I got my yearbook from JR year, and was really happy with the Water Polo page (that's still the only page I've actually read out of the entire thing). It brought back so many memories of state and made me even more stoked for this next season. My mock-schedule was messed up: it had me in JV swimming and didn't have me taking government or economics... which are both required in order for me to graduate. Somehow my counselor just SKIPPED OVER that fact when signing me up for classes. And she wasn't even there for me to talk to and get it fixed. Luckily with a call to Coach Hawkins and another counselor I was able to get them fixed. Sigh of relief. I was even able to sign up for a locker near the pool! HOORAY! That'll make next year easy :) I then went to the Registrars office and got the information for my transcript, which they are sending directly to A&M for me! Yippee!
Now I'm planning on starting one of the three essays that I need to write. Somehow blogging is just SO much easier than writing essays!! I'm so out of school-practice that sitting down and writing a formal paper just doesn't come easily anymore. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh.
