THE FUTURE.

I got accepted to Simmons~


Awriiight~ Now All I have to do is mosey in some Financial Aid. I got invited to the Honors program, which I should definitely apply to, right? (More aid, yah?)

So that's awesome! My top pic, and I'm in! I still have to look at others for the sake of comparing, but here's hoping! I actually might go to Simmons next yeaaaar~

In other news, I've been playing Psychonauts again. Ah, that game is hilarious. I think I'm gonna leave re-playing P4 for the school year. For some reason, RPGs help me concentrate...

Congrats! =D

Definitely apply to the Honors program. There's extra aid in the form of $750 a year at the bookstore (currently; it went up this year by $250, so it may go up again) and you get to take a special (and from what I hear, considerably more interesting*) MCC and fun classes like "Science in Victorian Literature" and "Sexuality, Nature and Power" (those are the two that looked best to me, anyway).

Also, there's a fun little lounge with free tea and cookies and they have special outings that are really fun (and they buy you dinner at fancy Italian places).

*not that the regular MCCs aren't interesting, but the Honors one looked so fun (I didn't get into the program until this year)

I think the MCCs are harder because you take them both at the same time; everyone else takes one first semester and one second, but the advantage is you have free reign second semester (and you don't have to write the research paper). Everything else ... dunno? My literature/science class was a lot of work, and there was no getting away with BS, but it was really interesting and there weren't, like, tons more assignments or even that much more writing/reading - just lots of thinking, which is kinda fun, actually.

There are a lot of essays, just no research paper.

(You took chem & pre-calc? Jeeze, I took a algebra 2 and a class on dinosaurs.)
