I felt compelled to write another post before leaving for a week. My family's going to Virginia beach with several other family friends, so it should be fun [: I'll try to post through my phone but I don't know how to do that...

Today was a very good day...especially during the lunch time [:

This morning I had to say bye to the kids I help during volunteering ): It was sad because they were so cute and I grew close to them. Well, they didn't exactly know I was leaving, but I felt sad anyways haha.

This week has been super busy with finishing summer readings and rereading some books. On Wednesday, I went to Kennywood with several friends from youth group, and it started to pour halfway through the day, but it was fun regardless. The park really clears out when the weather is bad, because we didn't have to wait much for the rides. I think the times we went on the Phantom, we only had to wait around 15 minutes. Of course it wasn't fun being wet for half the day, but it was worth it. We left around 9 and ate a late dinner/breakfast at eat 'n park, and I didn't get home until 12, which is bad because I had a college interview the next day at 9. I woke up the next morning around 7 to get ready for my Cornell interview with an alumni working in the PPG building. I wore my suit! (: My dad decided to leave early and get there around 8 "just in case there's traffic." Of course there wasn't any traffic, so I had to walk around for an hour waiting for my appointment. I sat at the middle place with a lot of tables and chairs and this girl approaches me and asked if she could take my picture for her photography class. Apparently they were given an hour to take 35 pictures, but it was creepy nonetheless. My interview went very well [: My interviewer said I was the best she has seen in her 8 years as an interviewer and that she'll be writing a good report for Cornell. [: That made my day.

Some of my senior pictures are up on facebook, so you can go look at them. [: These are only several released for her blog so the rest will be coming out around next week. I'm going to get a lot of wallet sized ones (: I can't believe school is starting next week...summer passed by too fast. I felt like I haven't stayed at home much all summer especially now that I'm packing again. It seems as if this summer consisted of constant packing and unpacking...I almost want to stay home for once. I went to go get my school supplies on Monday, and it finally sank it that school will be restarting again. Hopefully, this year will be the best yet [:

I'm still debating whether I should go to the Yale tournament in the fall...I want to say yes but it's a lot of money. Maybe I'll pay for it with my paycheck? I got my first paycheck yesterday [: I think I'm going to take my family out to dinner soon.

Omg... it seriously rains EVERY YEAR when the YF has a trip to an amusement park. This is the 3rd time that happened!

Haha, of course the Cornell person would say that. You are an extraordinary person with an unbeatable GPA and everything else. :P
