Critically Important News! ...That is Really Overdue...

Oh my golly goodness, it's been nearly 3 months since I've been on here. Ooohhh dear. Well, anyway, in that 3 month period of time, I managed to finally go over to Scotland (and England...), and get a good look round St. Andrews. It was sunny, warm, and not windy (!), and there were daffodils everywhere, and there were little lambies...oh, it was so precious. The most important bit, however, is that I got my IB conditions waived, so I can now go to St. Andrews without freaking out about my IB exams! Result! My Eternal thanks go out to Dad, who managed to convince Mrs. Minick to re-read my application as a student coming from a non-IB school. What ever am I to do without you?

Mark Your Calendars: November 10, 2010

Today, November 10, 2010, is a monumental day in history. Today is the day I GOT IN TO ST. ANDREWS!!!!!! I am so happy I could jump on a trampoline for 100 years and not get tired. My blood feels like confetti flowing through my body, and I feel like screaming. I sent them my reply email confirming my acceptance (obviously). Hopefully I hear back from them soon. The only problem with the acceptance is that I have to get 35 points in the IB Diploma, and at least a 6 in HL English. Of course, that is *so* easy.....not. I'll have to mega prepare and not slack off, BUT I DON'T CARE IT'S WORTH IT!

I'm off to spread immense joy throughout the world, frolicking through fields of daisies,
