Today I had my Georgia Tech President's Scholarship interview @ B&N. I was greeted by a sweet young MD-pursing former PS, another MD-pursing former PS named Rusty, and an EE who graduated from Tech in 1980. I was a bit groggy since I woke up less than 30 minutes ago, but that was all right. Once the interview was under way, I sounded semi-awake and perky. 2 points for me.
They asked me questions that I expected them to ask. I hope I made a good impression on them. I talked a lot about flute (band = my life) and I smiled a lot. *yay* We joked around and talked about (well, they did) life @ Tech. Was lovely. "There are three things at Tech: grades, social [life], and sleep. You can only pick two out of the three." And "...I didn't get any sleep." HAHA.
What a life, huh? Watch me end up going there!
The FAFSA is confusing. I do not know how to send to other schools. Any help here?

Wow, look at how old this is! Almost 4 years ago... I was what, 14? This is one of the many picnics that the Chinese community have each year. January 20, 2002. Wow. I'm on the left, attempting to drink but knowing that I will laugh soon, and my friend Robert is on the right, trying to uh, eat me. Not sure. I've know this guy since I was in kindergarten, and he's always been a silly guy who refuses to call me Dani. It's always, "Danielllllleeeee!!!" :)
Oh man, I'm getting old... and getting nostalgic! Unfortunately, that doesn't lead me anywhere. I think that I am still stuck in the past, and I can't put the car on drive and go forward. Maybe I am still 15 at heart (not maybe, I am) but I'm about to face another big transition in my life in a couple of months. I hope I've moved on by then because by then, I'll start another chapter in my grand life. Funny, maybe I've forgotten to write the ending to a chapter? Maybe I'm still writing it?

Hello,
Well, it's Thursday, January 12, and I just wish that it were already May 2006... first semester is over but here's another long uphill. More hell to go through, more laziness to deal with (the so-called "senioritis"), more crap to put up with from people/school/life in general. Of course, I could take this time to grow and mature, but I think I've "grown" into this cynical lady, day by day.
Today at school, I laughed hysterically at some things Shuaib (my friend) said/did ("kInetic")... I haven't laughed like that in so long. There was a note of desperation to my guffaws--yes, what he said/did was funny, and then I realized, oh wait, I haven't really laughed that much in a long time. I remember when I used to be the happiest girl alive, and laughing gaily was a daily thing! No more, as lack of sleep sets in, deadlines loom, and I am left wondering I haven't started yet (a month away = a week away for me, thank you, Dani's mind). When people grow older, do they stop laughing as much?
Whatever. Maybe I need to sleep. Sleep sounds good.

Hello everyone,
Last night was Megha's 16th birthday party. Extravagant. Thanks for inviting me, Shivani. So yea, all the girls wore black (with the exception of a few) and the guys wore tuxes. Mohan looked really nice in a tux, whoohoo. I got to see the inner workings of the kitchen (this party was held at the Boat House, and yes, she catered) and marveled at how much food can be on the table.
Girl traumas in the bathroom - I have discovered that the bathroom is ideal for emergencies and, well, gossip. And complaining. Gotta love having "dos equis" as your chromosome makeup.
So yes, the dance floor. Now that I think of last night, I kind of cringe at the revelry people have on the dance floor. Usually not characteristic of me, I participated in the wild dancing all night long (well until 11:30pm anyway). Danny and I were doing uh, some interesting moves (this is what you get when you're named Dani and the male counterpart is named Danny). "His a** is as big as you!" Someone (cough) shoved me into the dance circle, and I had a hard time getting out. I looked drunk.
But I assure you, I don't drink. I never want to see myself drink, either.
Anyway, so yes, my inner wild child comes out... and I'm a little afraid now. :)

Happy New Year, everyone! Let's welcome in 2006 and hope that it's a good year. I'm hoping that it's my best one yet... it's when I graduate, after all :D
My trip to Orlando was fabulous. Lots of fun in the sun. It's really warm down there, a lot warmer than Georgia (to my surprise). People from all over the world were in Orlando the week after Christmas, though... good grief. Never seen such a fight to get parking spaces at outlet malls! Those darn Japanese/British people :D Well, we managed to find parking spaces at outlet malls, albeit multiple attempts and long waits. Sigh.
Epcot = Amazing. I have always loved the world showcase but now that my geography skills are a little stronger, I love it even more! We visited some countries that we usually don't touch, like France and Morocco. :) I got my oil-blotting sheets from Japan and my dose of Chinese acrobats (very bendy) in China. Oh, and a picture with Mulan and Mushu, yay. I tasted my first crepe (yum) and stuffed my face with (what else) teriyaki chicken.
I bought some clothes at Old Navy... a pink pullover and a red shirt. I like red lately, dunno why. I read somewhere that red is the LOOK AT ME color (no kidding) - am I craving attention? o_O I'm not usually like this.
Oh well. I better go to sleep. I have school. Au revoir, ma cherie.
