I don't know if I mentioned this in any of my posts from a long time ago, but I had been looking forward to/dreaming of May 1st for a ridiculously long time. May 1st is the officially official date of enrollment confirmation. I finally have a grasp of what's in store for me in the next 4 years! And May 1st also marks the day of Sprague Prom 2010 (i may add a picture a later).
I'm still in awe of the unspoken rule that has turned Prom into a 24 hour (and even 48 hours in some cases) event, but we participated regardless. Our group was really chill (Zach and I, Brandon and Caroline, Madison and Jared, Anders and Kaitlyn, and Alex and Emily). In the morning, we got picked up by "santa" aka anders for homemade breakfast (yummmy), and then headed off to the Oregon Zoo. It was a blast, but I have to admit I vowed never to go back to a zoo ever again (i couldn't help but feel incredibly sad for the captive animals...for what? human entertainment...no further comment). We had lunch and came back, got ready, and went to the dance (at the fairgrounds...curse you juniors...prom was better last year) in a limo. woooo. I've decided that the amount of fun had at Prom is inversely proportional to the amount of sleep/rest had (as most things are...). Wooo Prom.
Today (day after prom) also marked the end of my time in the Salem Youth Symphony. We performed Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture, accompanied Andrew on Hadyn Cello Concerto in C major, and (1st, 2nd, 4th movements of) Tchaikovsky's 5th Symphony. It was a valiant effort. haha. I'm so glad I did SYS this year and really enjoyed just having the opportunity to play such masterpieces, and I can't wait to be in the symphony at Notre Dame!
Follow up on that Marion-Polk Premed scholarship I was a finalist in: I showed up for an interview (relatively at ease) and it turned out to be one of the most frightening situations ever. Imagine a super long table (maybe two times my dining table) with 8 doctors (all male) sitting on one end. Now sit at the other end in a cold chair and answer questions. errrrm. yeah. All things considered, I actually felt really confident in the interview and felt like I was able to convey most of what I wanted (minus the fricking "what would you do if your bulimic friend confided in you?" question). In the end I won a $2K scholarship. WIN!
Alright, hopefully I add pictures later, but here's to probably the busiest may ever (and it's only been two days)! AP tests this week, State orchestra next week, and everything else awesome in between. ready set go!

I figure now that you know I creep on you, I might as well comment.
1st: You're never going to post pictures and you know it.
2nd: I'm REALLY glad you feel the same way about the zoo! I felt horribly guilty the entire time, and looking at the animals just made me sad. We could have been miserable together. Oh well.
