Okey dokey.
Went in to school to give Mr. Blair the scholarship thingy. He said he was looking into getting my satire essay published in Atlantic Monthly. Coolness. Also picked up my transcripts.
Went to VP Bank Scholarship dinner. It was a lot of fun. I think I had the funniest speech. Also found out I was the "1st Alternate." I guess that means that if any of the winners have a mysterious accident...
Also found out that the VP Kiwanis are giving me $750. Yay! Now I have
something to put on my senior poll thingy.
Today kinda sucked. First I didn't have my homework done for Chemistry on account of the very busy weekend and Econ Challenge and the satire essay I had to write last night. So I didn't have it. She did say she'd take it later, though. But I failed the quiz anyway.
Then I went to English and read my satire essay. Everybody loved it. I've put it on the web.
New Skylines today. ExposÃ(C) on the AP stuff on the cover, byline to Niemet and Katie D. Niemet and Katie D. called to meeting with Dr. E today, which I hear from Niemet did not go well. School sucks.
Food fight in cafeteria. Student body held responsible.
Rest of day sucked. NHS induction practice pointless. NHS induction pretty pointless too.
Got Mrs. Piña to take care of the one scholarship app thing, and requested a couple of transcripts which I have to pick up tomorrow. I'm going to need more. At this point, there doesn't seem to be any scholarships that I'd hear from by Mr. Tyler's mid-May deadline. Pointless.
VP Bank scholarship dinner tomorrow night. Stupid, and will preclude me from
doing my Chemistry.
what decade does your personality live in?
quiz brought to you by lady interference, ltd

I'm not getting any money from the VP Bank. Bonnie took first place, somebody from York was second, and Niemet was third. So screw the dinner.
I have come to the realization that all the hard work I've put in the last
four years has gotten me nowhere. I didn't need 5 AP classes or a 4.667 GPA or
a 1500 on the SAT to get into U of I. Apparently, 4 years in Key Club and on
the Scholastic Bowl Team and the Science Honor Society and 2 years in NHS and
Civitas doesn't make me qualified enough to get any scholarships.
I think it's getting dangerous to blog these days. The other day Mrs.
Marcyniuk stopped me in the hall and told me that she had read my blog. That's
just scary.
Does IMSA have a National Honor Society?
