the rhythm of the night
2001-12-17 @ 10:02 p.m.

Today was actually a really good day for a change. Three of my teachers were absent, so it gave me plenty of time to do my homework. And talk an awful lot. Still, I was very industrious today and I got a lot done. I want to finish my Columbia University application tonight; if I do that then I'll be happy and I'll be able to sleep tonight. I have the intention of mailing off all of my applications on Wednesday or Thursday, and what a relief that shall be. I will feel as if I'm free of a thousand burdens. Still, then the awkward period of waiting sets in, and I'm forced to be in agony for the next few months until I get an acceptance or rejection. Still, I don't care. I know that I'm going to be happy with wherever I get into, because all things happen for a reason. Minhua just got accepted into Tufts on early decision, which is so cool. A lot of people from my school have gotten full scholarships because of their ethnicity and such, which makes me a little mad. I mean, I'm sorry that I was born white. I'm happy for everyone who got a full scholarship, especially some of my friends, but it's just sort of weird when top tier collages bypass transcripts just to accept minorities. It's not fair, actually. Deserving students should get that money.

Oh! I know some fun stuff that I'm going to do this weekend. On Friday, we're all having a gift exchange at Jackie's house for Havovi, Kathleen, Christina, and me. We all secretly bought each other a present by drawing names, and we're going to exchange them on Friday night. I have Havovi, which is cool. She has told me numerous times that she likes my style and my jewelry and stuff, so I'm trying to find something that I would like that I know she would like. I figure that a really cool bracelet is the type of thing that I'm looking for. So far I've seen a few things, but I haven't had time to really look and choose something awesome. I'll have to do it before Friday, though. Saturday I'll probably wrap presents and get all of the last minute shopping stuffs done. On Sunday though...oh Sunday should be fun if it all pulls through. Carla told Kathleen and I that she would take us out to a club on Sunday night. I guess on Tremont Street in Boston there's a Brazilian nightclub that's really off the hook. You have to be at least eighteen to get in, but I think that we can make it through if we slip the bouncer twenty dollars, because Carla is a friend of his. I want to go really bad, and I hope that it works out, because my mom might say no. Then again, if I ask her in the right way, then she'll say yes. I just have to figure out how to get out of the house in club clothes without either of my parents mercilessly killing me for leaving the house in a tank top or halter in the dead of winter to go into Boston at night alone. Maybe I'll find a hot Brazilian boy. I don't know...I just want to go for the experience, one time. I think it would be a lot of fun. Plus, I love dancing. Carla said that she'd teach us some moves, and that we would fit in because there are some American kids there too. I want to go now!

Today has put me in a positively good mood. I hope I wake up tomorrow in the same way.

Ciao.
