I register for classes on Fat Tuesday!
I'll have a hard schedule, but hopefully good teachers.

Dynamics
Linear Analysis II
Physics III
Welding
Casting

My linear teacher is supposedly the best teacher at my school!

Lucky! I wish my school had a casting class! =[ I'd so get an A!

That doesn't seem like too hard of a schedule to me...

Oh my God!! I've gotten soooooooo many letters and e-mails from colleges and to tell you the truth I'm overwhelmed and I don't know what to do! I'm not showing off, but I am so overwhelmed by the amount of e-mails (around 60-70 e-mails) and with the letters (around 20). What should I do?!? Oh, and I think they are just like spam, but still. I'm also nervous about chosing what college to go to because it is coming closer everyday! I'm lost.

Talk to your counselor at school. Do you know what major you are interested in? Find the best 3 schools for getting jobs after college in that major. Find out how many scholarships/grants/aid they gave out. If you are eligible for scholarships make sure you have a good resume together.

Lots of kids these days are staying in their home state b/c of tuition costs to go out of state. If you don't have financial aid, staying in-state is probably a necessity - it is for our son. He applied to 3 schools and has acceptances from 2, we expect the other one to say yes too. then it will be up to him, with input from us.

Go see the schools you're interested in, if possible. Talk directly to the department you want to major in - forget open houses and that stuff. Make an appointment for just yourself and your parental units, and you go in with questions, and get a tour.

oh, i could go on and on...see, I'm just your Mom!

School is a bitch (Sorry, but that is the only word to explain it). So much crap going on: Math projects that no one understands, a Chem teacher who makes me want to become a high school dropout, and I have to do sleep deprivation project that is worth 15 grades. I'm going to kill myself.

(Sorry, just feel like complaining to someone )

Hope today is a little better! My older son is feeling the same way - I forgot - are you a senior? Oh, yeah you are...it's just crazy for a little longer and then it's the rest of your life! Ha ha.

You are sucha terrible mother! I'm a sophmore (so I'm sixteen, and you forgot my birthday too!) so I still have a little more to go. Anyways, it wasn't that bad, but it's still school. For my sleep deprivation project, you guys want me to post how I am feeling every few hours? It seems like a cool idea.

Hey Charlie,
I am often up pretty late, and might be able to chime in. When are you planning to do this?
