Not that it's really anything because pretty much everyone gets a one rating. But hey, I'm that cool kid that memorized their music, I guess.:P"

Well of course you're the cool kid.

*high fives Yue* YES. I TOLD YOU THAT YOU'RE AWESOME.

Thanks, I'm like, on pins and needles, I'm the only one from my school that got accepted.

Congratulations! What are you going to be doing at the workshop?

Good news:

I got into the same university as Hazel, the most beautiful girl on earth, and we're going this fall! So excited to hang out with her all of the days.

@Holden - Yay for hanging out with people! :D My friend and I decided to be social and go to a party last night, but ... there was like no one there and it was kind of sad, so we just stole some cookies and left. Oh well. But yeah, be proud! Being social takes effort. :P

@Taylor- Wooo congrats! :)

Good News:
My mom is coming home today!!!!!!!!!

I ASKED MAUREEN JOHNSON A QUESTION ABOUT SHIPPING AND SHE ANSWERED IT IN HER GOOGLE HANGOUT.
Here is a link to the part of the video where she answers my question. She's kind of the most adorable person ever.

(If this link fails at its job, the part where she answers my question is 7:35. If anyone even cares, haha.)

THAT IS SO COOL.

I AM STILL DYING FROM IT.
She is one of my favorite people ever and she called my question "deep" and yeah I love her.

I don't even really know who Maureen Johnson is. All I know is that she has an awesome name and that that is just about the neatest thing ever.

She writes teh books

I pretty much want to be her...

Haha, I'm so happy I just went on the Kindle store and the Name of the Star is marked down to $2.99. Totes bought it.

My good news is I've started running. That's big for me and out of my confort zone. :) I have to make it all this week though. I need support.

Ellen Hopkins answered my question on Tumblr. :D

I know, I'm so jealous of her life and how awesome she is.

Yeah! I might preorder her new book because she's giving away signed bookplates but I don't know because spending money isn't fun.

AAHHH LAV THAT'S SO AWESOME, I LOVE MAUREEN JOHNSON. :D

Yesterday I found out that I'm playing before the symphony orchestra on my violin!

I totes forgot about this topic. :D

Good news: I asked my writing buddy to Prom a couple weeks ago, and she finally responded last night. It was way sweet…referenced a lot of the symbols we use in our writing and such.

Woohoo!

Good news: I successfully changed my nose piercing for the first time yesterday. It literally took me hours of trying but I managed to get my stud out and replace it with a hoop. I lurve it. Yeeeeeyyy.

WOAH I LOVE IT. That is so flipping amazing. It looks so great on you! If my nose wasn't one of my less attractive facial features, I would definitely want a nose ring.

Ooh, I hope it goes well! That's really cool.

Aaah, that's so exciting! :D Good luck!

Good news (ish?): I am finally back from Honduras! Most of you probably did not realize I was gone, but I was. Haha. But yeah, it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life and just jaklsdfja.

@Brigid
Is it just me or is it more common to pierce the left side of the nose?

Thanks Lav!

Taylor - Yeah I think it is more common to get the left side pierced. I've noticed way less people have their right side pierced like I do. (My webcam takes mirror-image pictures so yeah, that's actually my right side. Haha.) Weird ... I wonder why that is, especially because most people are right-handed and I feel like that's why I felt more inclined to get my piercing on the right side. *Shrug*

The webcam thing is tripping me out…like, the picture does look a little funny, but I attributed it to the lighting...not the webcam….

My brain hurts.

Okay.

Good news: it's Spring Break. Not that that really applies to me... But my siblings are home!

It's spring break for me too! Yay! ... Although I still have a stupid amount of homework to do. Dummmbbbb.

Oh, fun, homework! /sarcasm

Yup.
Well, my homework is just to a) read the rest of Cloud Atlas, which I'm almost done with, and at least I'm enjoying it. (It's just super long and kind of confusing.) b) Write a response paper on it, which kind of sucks but it's only a two-page paper, so meh. c) Edit a short story I wrote last week, which will be fun I guess. d) Finish an art project, which will also be fun.

So, at least my homework will be mostly interesting. It's just ... a lot to do.

@Brigid
My problem is the same. I love the homework I've got, but there's just so muuuuuuuuch.

Aww you will make friends, Annie. If I can make friends in college ... anyone can.

Haha, yes. Maybe I'll join a club.

Yeah, clubs are good. Go clubbin'. XD

As long as my roommates don't try to date my friends, I will get along with everyone just fine. :P
