Hello everyone,
So my last post was two whole months ago and a lot has changed between now and then so get ready for a Colleen themed whirlwind.
College - The big one
Florida State University - Accepted
University of Florida - Accepted
University of Virginia - Waitlisted
University of California at Berkeley - Waitlisted
Rice University - Denied
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill - Denied (Within ten minutes of hearing from Rice)
So a lot more disappointment than I was anticipating but, hey, no one said this was going to be easy. So, at this moment in time, I am going to enroll at University of Florida but I am on the waitlist for Berkeley. It has been sort of a paradigm shift since I didn't get into any of my top choice schools, but I think I will find my way just fine at UF (also, added bonus, I got into the Honors College so fancy dorm rooms and better schedules, yippee!). I've even followed all of the UF a capella groups on Instagram in the hopes that I might join one next year, which I think would be so super exciting so we'll see how that pans out. So, college = crazy.
School - Can it be over, pleaseeee?
I have officially ended all my high school assignments
EE - Done
IAs - Done
TOK - Done
CAS - Done
Confusing everyone with all the acronyms - Done
So all I have left are tests. 13 TESTS IN 2 WEEKS. *Insert sobbing*
So the next few weeks will most likely be characterized by doing no work and wishing I was at the beach every moment I spend at school. But the end is near.
Speaking of end, nothing says End of Year like Prom. Yes, this year I will be partaking in the age old tradition of spending thousands of dollars on 8 hours of crazy. Has anyone asked me? Nope. Am I bummed? Maybe a little. But I'm going to look damn good so it's their loss not mine.
Band - God, I'll miss it
Band for me has been pretty lax lately. The first week of March ended my last official band season with an Excellent rating at Districts. The last week of March marked my last judged performance with the stellar Nease Clarinet Choir and ended my time at Nease with a big ol' SUPERIOR RATING AT STATE. I liked that ending. But aside from me, Nease Open Percussion Ensemble or NOPE2K15 as they are affectionately known, has done so well and I am proud to call myself a fan and proud to call them my friends. They have won numerous competitions and just made the Finals for the very first time in school history finishing 14th in the world in the class. WHAT?!? And we also broke the system to get them voted fan favorite. No regrets. I also might have paid $35 to watch them live in Semifinals, which was totally worth it. So yay them. Guard is going to World Championships this week and they're going to kill it so yay them in advance. I love these crazies I call my bandmates :-*
So that's the update. College is weird, School is lame and Band is awesome. Maybe things haven't changed so much as when I last wrote.
Have a jammin' April 12th,
Colleen
