    i'm not really stressing over my essays.. if there's any stress at all, it's that i waited until now to write them. (i'm not applying early decision anywhere, but it's still not wise to wait until mid-december to do it all.) now that i'm making myself do it, i really don't have problems writing...

    if i'm applying to a school with one major/minor - we'll say english - and under the essay topic for my application, i write about something other than a piece of literature that has affected me, is that okay? the essay topic asks me to elaborate on a "work of art, music, science, mathematics...

    Your Top 10 albums of the 2000's

    picking a top 10 will probably be very difficult for me, but tentatively..

    yeah, at american universities, it's pretty common to have to share a room with someone. they inform you of who your roommate is before you start to live there, but i can understand not wanting to board with someone. i had to room with someone when i stayed at american university in washington...

    Sad songs

    talking heads' "this must be the place (naive melody)" is sort of sad-sounding. with the lyrics accounted for, it's not so much sad as it is just nervous.

    What are you reading?

    i'm still reading the fall. i decided on no exit for the english project, but the bookstore has all three, so i'll likely pick up all three. the way people have described each book makes them sound like something i would love. besides, i wanted to read samuel beckett anyway.

    these supplements aren't going to write themselves.. i feel like it's going to be difficult to sell myself to these colleges. i'm very modest; while i don't outright dislike myself even a little, i've never had the gut to brag about myself, ever. D:

    my first offer omg

    i'm happy for you! science isn't something i can see myself being very deft at at a university level, so i have a lot of respect for people who can handle it well at that level.

    yes, you're right. i'd like to think that universities could have an entrance exam specific to their school, designed however they feel is appropriate, but that would certainly create difficulties for students who don't live nearby if handled improperly. i think that's how japanese universities...

    i agree; there should be a sort of writing section. i take solace in the fact that its title is a bit of a misnomer, as it doesn't really test you on your knowledge of literature as much as it sees if you can pick out the main idea of a passage. still, even that can be argued through a formally...

    i haven't taken the ACT.. nowhere i'm applying to needs it. some need subject tests, though.. so i'm signed up for the US history and literature ones. from what i've heard, or from what the collegeboard says.. * the US history subject test is the multiple choice on the AP US exam, which i did...
