College is...
So. I've visited 6 bay area colleges now and all i can say is...wow. College is what I want, at least. I've gotten that far thru the process. Even though i'm still not sure where i want to go yet tho, even after seeing all the schools i'm concidering. I'm not quite sure even what's my favorite ^^;;;; I guess they just all make me so happy that i can't pick where i'd be happiest yet. It really depends on what i can get into i suppose. After i apply to everywhere i'm sure i'll change my mind about where i want to go and where i'll be happy. I don't know how applying will tell me that =P but i can at least hope it will. It's nice now though, now i know what it'll be like and that if i choose any of those schools i'll enjoy my time there. I dunno what i'll major in either...but no one else really seemed to know either. *sigh*
woah =P totally lost my train of thought. People up here are funny...lol. Don't even know what to say besides that. Anyway, comming home on sunday -unfortunetly- , but the rest of the year's going to go by so fast o.o Have no idea how i'm going to get through until vacation =P
"...and so it is"

The last couple of days...
Another rollercoaster, that's for sure. I don't even know how this last couple of days have even happened. But I must say, they were quite...interesting will do. I can't even think of a word to describe what this has been like. Monday through mid-friday last week wasn't too bad- a little long with rehersals, and had some junioritis =) but that was mostly because I was excited about leaving that weekend. Ate lunch on friday and started feeling really sick, and actually got food poisning. That SUCKED. I...don't want to even post about it. Nor think about it again. Anyway, finally got to sleep on friday night, slept in saturday morning since my body refused to do anything for me, let alone get up. It was oneesama's birthday though, so had to get up, but it was worth it. Picked her up and went to lunch at Marco's, then did some stuff in town and went back to her house before i ran over to school for the play. And wasn't that interesting =P Barely made it through the first act. Left at intermission, went home, and got the rest i needed. And of course I fell asleep without hardly packing anything =) leaving me to be sorta screwed when I got up the next morning =P
And that's the end of the bad part of the last few days ^^ The rest has been just an absolute joyride =P Except getting lost a couple times ^_~ SFO...o.o what happened o.o Ah well. What's left of winterim should be a blast ^^

A random test...
Was browsing thru Sam's and Will's blogs and saw this neat little quiz result...thought i'd take it and share mine too. Don't know how accurate it is though, since i think i'm pretty indesicive.
Your Brain Usage Profile:
Auditory : 38%
Visual : 61%
Left : 23%
Right : 76%
Ashley, you possess an interesting balance of hemispheric and sensory characteristics, with a slight right-brain dominance and a slight preference for visual processing.
Since neither of these is completely centered, you lack the indecision and second-guessing associated with other patterns. You have a distinct preference for creativity and intuition with seemingly sufficient verbal skills to be able to translate in any meaningful way to yourself and others.
You tend to see things in "wholes" without surrendering the ability to attend to details. You can give them sufficient notice to be able to utitlize and incorporate them as part of an overall pattern.
In the same way, while you are active and process information simultaneously, you demonstrate a capacity for sequencing as well as reflection which allows for some "inner dialogue."
All in all, you are likely to be quite content with yourself and your style although at times it will not necessarily be appreciated by others. You have sufficient confidence to not second-guess yourself, but rather to use your critical faculties in a way that enhances, rather than limits, your creativity.
You can learn in either mode although far more efficiently within the visual mode. It is likely that in listening to conversations or lecture materials you simultaneously translate into pictures which enhance and elaborate on the meaning.
It is most likely that you will gravitate towards those endeavors which are predominantly visual but include some logic or structuring. You may either work particularly hard at cultivating your auditory skills or risk "missing out" on being able to efficiently process what you learn. Your own intuitive skills will at times interfere with your capacity to listen to others, which is something else you may need to take into account.
But having a hard time listening to people is definetly something I have a problem with =/ no wonder I always fall asleep in lecture classes?

Another late night I wasn't planning on.
Was just poking through some other people's blogs and decided to do a little update on my own. It is Febuary after all.
I haven't been able to concentrate one ounce today...if today means tuesday. Didn't listen a smigin during English. Instead of studying during my free block, went and hung around with 6th grade science Ms. Brown and chatted with her about her daughter (she said i gave her the best advice. she's such a sweetheart.) Japanese I actually payed attention, but it was completely gone in APUSH. But that's nothing new, now is it. Tried to study for the AP physics test during lunch, which went ok, but...I kept getting distracted. Which, as usual, is no one's fault but my own. I did get some things done, but the real measure of success will be the score i get =P I'm expecting mediocre, as usual. Had sectionals in band, so used that as more time to study. Did ok in taking the physics test, went a bunch slower than usual. And then by the time math class came up and the day was almost over, everyone was mostly insane. Casey, Alex T. and Josh were going off the entire time about random stuff, I was making the occasional joke while Pearl helped me study for my english quiz, and just...it was horrid. It's sort of sad, because Mr. Emde hasn't gotten us to pay attention in quite awhile now. However!! He's reading House of Leaves! I saw it on his desk, and it's been there for a few days now. Exciting, no?
I've been feeling sick a lot lately too. Ever since I passed out on X-mas eve things have been weird, and I've been feeling pretty under the weather after the incident in assembly 2 weeks ago or so. Getting sick last week and drinking massive amounts of water didn't help things either. Monday I was feeling like I had gotten back to normal, but tuesday/today wasn't so good. I guess i'm just scared of feeling bad because I don't want to faint again =/
*sigh* ...I suppose I should finish up my hw. Just...between my weird day at school, the weird dance class, and all the news that's going on at home and with the family right now, things are pretty exciting. It looks like everything is going to work out for me, and I can't stop thinking about this stroke of fortune that fate has blessed me with. But i'm still going to cross my fingers =P
