confetti!

MIT sent me a tube full of confetti, the admissions letter, and a nifty MIT poster. I think I'll put my nerdy MIT poster under my nerdy galaxy poster on the east wall of my bedroom. It'll fit right in.

The admissions letter had a short handwritten thing on it as well that said, "Lindsay, your talent at both writing and science is impressive." I think that means that being a good writer actually helped me get into MIT. Woohoo!

School was good today, except it was painfully apparent that my grades are slipping into the kingdom of B's. I negotiated my physics grade back up by arguing two quiz questions on centripetal force, and I think my English grade will be okay, but I worry about government.

Also, I'm supposed to be studying for math right now, as my semester test is tomorrow.

I think if I start staying awake in AP government I'll be more successful. How I will manage that, however, I am not sure.

that's really cool, the confetti that is. and of course being a good writer helped you! it may be a sciency school, but writing is the universally necessary skill these days :)

as for government; i think the thing that would help most there is sleep. like, regularly. at night. and argue in class. you'd be amazed how much that helps ;)
