Oh Winter Break, where have you gone?

Today is indeed the dreaded Sunday (as my soph econ teacher once pointed out, the second to worst day of the year>>apparently the last day of summer is the worst) before school. The absolute last day of winterbreak 2009, the day reality, or maybe better put, homework hits. Judging by a quick scan of facebook (shudder), the excitement of returning to school is quite overwhelming. AP art history lovingly exploded and the ominous, unopened Hamlet on my desk continues to collect dust. Good thing I went bowling today. Tom found this good deal for unlimited bowling and pizza for two hours, so the Ahn's made the first family bowling trip.

Now where did the rest of the break go?

Oh yeah. College Apps.

I've already blogged on this numerous times before so I don't want to bore/burden anyone (aka myself), but if a blog mention/length of post corresponded to the amount of time I dedicated to said activity, I would be writing about College Apps for the rest of 2010. Thankfully it doesn't. The biggest deadline of january 1st or 2nd has passed and I have successfully submitted 6.5 applications (.5 for Rice...haha). I still have 3 left, but the bulk of it is over. Random comments: sometimes college app season makes you bipolar (i have a chance, i'm never getting in, whatever just send it in anyways, maaaaaybe i'll get in, nope, never, fml, whatever), I suck at bubbling installment number 2 (I bubbled the wrong essay topic on the commonapp? awesome), blogging experience seemed somewhat helpful. whaaa?, the "Why our awesome college?" essays are the absolute worst, sending an app from the random bubble tea place you found with free wi-fi is NOT a comforting feeling, you know it's bad when the post office lady recognizes you and asks "what college are you sending this to today?," waiting until April to find out is going to be the worst, etc. Anyways, for now: Hallelujah it's over (almost).

But I won't be super depressing...I had a wonderful Christmas with the family, beat Super Mario on the wii (mostly Tom), went shopping, watched the Lakers (obviously), uploaded lots of music (thank you iTunes homesharing), interviewed to be a counselor at camp, and ate my little heart out.
