hold your horses excitement

I received my second college acceptance letter in the mail on Monday, and I literally jumped out of my chair when my mom came rushing in telling me that she opened it before me. I jumped because she scared the living daylight out of me in my dark dim room. Well, that's alright because I had been so sucked into watching the first few episodes of Castle that I hadn't even been going out for new outdoor adventures to notice what day it was. I can be drawn into shows easily I tell you. So the show Castle is not about a castle-- I am trying to make a note for any future watchers out there. The show is about a writer named Rich Castle who follows these detectives to murder and crime scenes to piece together his exotic experiences with them out and write them down into new chapters of crime fiction for his new novels. It's actually a very clever and savvy show, so if you are up for some interesting crime scene investigations and surreal detective work, then this is your show.

So aside from being carried away by Castle, I'm actually very excited for my Seattle acceptance letter. For the scholarship that I worked so hard for, I finally became a selected solid participant for the Sullivan Leadership Day on January 15, 2011. My mom just booked some airline tickets to Seattle for January 14-maybe January 17th, 2011. This will be a very exciting experience for me because a) I have never been to Seattle, b) there is going to be nonstop pouring of fantastic weather to my excitement, c) I will finally get to visit this dream school, and d) I haven't been on a plane since the 5th grade to North Carolina to visit my mom. Now as you can see, it's excitement altogether. This next round of competition is the very first competitive stage. According to Jennifer and me, we calculated that my chances in moving onto the next round is 0.13 %. In January, out of the eight hour process, one hour will be taken out to do the most important thing-- which is to write an essay on the topic that they decide to give me on the day. This year's theme is about methamphetamine. So I was already given articles to read before I fly over in mid January. This is a nerve-wracking matter, and I am not allowed to have high expectations because my mom won't allow it. She said that whatever happens, happens and I should take this as a new opportunity to express myself in the best way I can. Thus I promise to work very hard, study the lengthy articles, read the additional readings, and try my best for myself and my mom.

I'm not exactly overwhelmed to the level where I cannot breathe, because I am neither a real psychopath nor a sociopath. Jennifer. my brother, and I have been stitching animals and doing Pilates late at night. Yesterday night, I attempted to create a unicorn, but I failed to do so because I got distracted and somehow ended up making some living room set with the fluffy TV below. Today, I read about methamphetamine articles all day, and went out to get some chocolate moose brownie ice cream with my brother and Jennifer after dinner-- the things we do for ice cream even in the rain.

By the way, Christmas Break is different from Winter Break. So this Christmas Break has been too fulfilling for all of us. With the New Year coming, I hope you are all ready to form some new resolutions because I know I am!

Goodnight Bloggers.
