Discipline.

I've realized this past weekend that I royally suck at college. I have 18+ hours in my stupid little day to write these stupid little essays for these stupid little colleges. Or one college, Emory, at the moment. You see, the application for the Emory Scholars program is due Nov. 1st, and for some reason I had the silly notion that November is soooooo far away. It's actually in 1.5 weeks. AND I have yet to come up with an amazing college essay. Or the essay for the actual scholarship. or the little short answers that go with it. Whooo-eeeee.

I've also realized also that since I'm using Common App for Emory, the essay that I come up with for this one is gonna have to be the one essay I use for the rest of my Common App colleges, so that means UPenn, Cornell, and Rice are going to get to see the nice little piece of crap that I can whip up in 1.5 weeks. CAN I GET A HIP HIP HOORAY? (I know some idiot is going to actually give me one)

ANYWAYS, that brings me to the reason I've written this little blog entry post thing.
I have decided to turn over another new leaf.
Yes, I know the other leaf of getting 7+ hours of sleep failed quite miserably, BUT THIS IS A NEW DAY.
I, Carolyn Angela Tong, will refrain from AIM until 9pm every day until November 1st comes around. And Facebook until 6pm (Because I must go in baby steps with Facebook).
Now this may not seem like a big deal to you but there is nothing I love more than wasting time, as sad as that is. That's gonna be 7+ hours of time to focus solely on college and school. And it's still not gonna be enough, I just know it.

I find that Writing and I have a pretty complicated love-hate relationship. I would rather write out my thoughts than say them any day, but MAN you don't know how long I can just sit in front of a computer screen with my nice MLA heading in the left-hand corner, trying desperately to come up with an amazing first sentence to start my amazing essay, AND spending WAY more time than I ever should on a stupid little intro that doesn't even end up being that good. ASLDKFJASKLDFJ it suckssssss soooooosososo much. I wish with all my heart that I were gifted like some people and could just whip out a ridiculously beautiful and poignant essay from my butt and spend like less than an hour on it. Oh, you know who you are.

So I'm not really even sure why I'm writing this because the link to get to this page is in my AIM profile and I'm not even gonna be on until freaking 9pm. But I felt that I should explain my online absence. OH ALSO, if you see me doing any of the above before my set time limit, please feel free to shoot me. MMKTHANKSSSSS.

Soooo I guess if you need to ask me a question (If you're foolish enough to ask me a question related to schoolwork HAH) justttttttt call my cell if you're important enough to me to have my number. It'll be a lovely little break in my torturous day.
