Yayyyy! My dream might actually come true : D
My family is planning to go to Europe this summer, since this is probably one of the most carefree summers in my young life : /
And my mother said something about how we might be able to stay in Italy a little while : D So I’m already making plans in my head. Hahaha. I wonder whatever happened to “It’s not safe”…
Meanwhile, I must also plan for a grad trip =___=. My friends have the habit of waiting for too long to make plans…secretly, they know I’m a control freak who must have some semblance of a plan and so I usually end up being the one to plan anything when we go out (unless it’s actually their birthday or something… in which case obviously they would decide)…I should be more laid back. But I can’t help it : o
In any case, this summer is looking promising.I shall make it as fun as possible
> : D
…of course there are still loads of exams to get through =_______=

Two Uni acceptances today- one from U of T Scarborough and one from Mcmaster!
I’m so happy! ^_^ I was getting sort of depressed over the lack of university applications in conjunction with (and contributing to ) my growing feelings of inadequacy.
I also tend to check e-mail a bit obsessively these days. Which I find odd, considering I used to hate checking e-mail and would forsake my Gmail account for weeks at a time.
Now I must go back to doing work…Or trying to.

Yup. I’m a major idiot. Also a very sleep deprived idiot. It’s like a disease…or a drug? Hahaha. Whatever it is, its an addiction, and I would swear IB made it exponentially worse. My mother told me that apparently when I was younger and she was doing her ECE thing, I would always tell her not to do it at the last minute…look at me now. =__=
But, hey, at least the hellish nightmare we call math portfolios are done. My mom was looking at the 22 page horror this morning and was like “I can’t even begin to understand this…” : o
On a positive/dreamier note, I saw an episode of First Class All the Way this weekend (I think I’m actually starting to like that show, probably because I love travel) and I am now IN LOVE with the Amalfi Coast. I was already really really really wanting to go to Italy. Now it’s just passed the line of obsession..=__= which is sad because I probably won’t go there for a while…my dad just keeps saying “It’s not really safe.” (0_o)..Yeah. I don’t get it.
My parents have a skewed view of safety…for example, they let me go to…let’s see Quebec City when I was like 12 ish…Europe (France, Belgium, Netherlands, notably AMSTERDAM) when I was 15..yes these were school trips..but we spent a substantial amount of time by ourselves.. : )…but yeah. going with my family to another country “isn’t safe.” >_>
I hope I can go to Italy soon. : 3

Nothing new. The title says it all.
Sometimes, everything is happening so fast, I feel like if I close my eyes I’ll miss it. It seems like I had my goals/life planned out, and then the time came when universities come calling…and my goals just sort of…fell apart. I started questioning everything, and even now, after I’ve applied, still am questioning. The speed of it all, just amazes me and scares me all at the same time. I hope though, that when I look back on this all, I won’t have too many important regrets, and many cherished memories : D.
It was interesting though, one of my friends, O, was talking about another friend, K, who doesn’t seem to be that stressed out about this whole transition in life process that is occurring, and she can’t imagine how he manages that. I started wondering, whether there’s a point in stressing about it…I’m pretty indecisive, so sometimes I think, yes because you might waste years doing something you don’t want to do. But sometimes I think, who cares about “wasted” years…surely every part of your life is worth living and there is no such thing as “wasted”…And then there’s my other friend, F, who…is a determinist…yet still tries to convince me to switch out of the sciences/humanities stream I seem to be starting upon.>_>
I would like to spend some time in the NEAR future, where I don’t have to worry about universities, graduating, EE, IB, etc. etc. etc….some day when my life isn’t turbulent…
