My science paper is 13 pages long and I haven't written any more of it since last wednesday although I was supposedly working on it all weekend and all of this afternoon. Yes, I am talented. I still have two or three pages I can write, I just can't write them *headdesk*

And I started to get college spam today. Only email now, but one of them said they had mailed me something... Fun. I shouldn't have checked that box on the psat, but I did and now I get to deal with the collegespamofdoom! And as it's starting now, that means I have another two years of it, even more fun.

My room is a mess and I'm sick and I haven't gotten anything productive done since like last wednesday. And I'm updating to say things no one cares about, but oh well.

And I've used the word 'and' like twenty times in this entry. And now I shut up and go back to "writing" my paper.

edit: I'm bored, so let's underline all the ands in this entry... That was fun...

edit 2: So one of these emails opens up with - There's a word for people like you: Smart.

So I go to the website cause I have nothing better to do and the flattery intrigued me. And then the website says:

So you took the PSAT...now what?
Take a bow.

First of all, congratulations. By taking the PSAT early--no matter what your score--you're already ahead of most sophomores in planning for college.

This probably means you’re a smart, insightful person who recognizes that the path to the right college starts long before your junior or senior year.

(Or it could mean that you’re an obsessive overachiever, so driven by your own relentless ambition that you’re incapable of enjoying the moment. But let’s think positive, shall we?)

The part which I bolded made me laugh.

You're probably also ahead of every other sophmore with your obscenely high score on the psats

[meorae.livejournal.com]

It's not that high. Although I shouldn't say that as that'll make people who did worse than me feel bad. My scores were certainly good and above average but they weren't exceptional.

But still, thank you for the compliment.

Why do you funny college spam? So far I've recieved like 4 letters and 2 emails, and the funniest thing about anything of them was the ludicrous things they though would convince me to go there. "If you go here, you can get a *free t-shit* and a KICK ASS coffee mug!!!!1!" >> Or something to that effect.

Free T-shit. XDD

Because I'm wonderful?

Just wondering, did you take the psat? Cause I thought you decided not to... And if you didn't, why are you receiving college spam?

[arsinyk.livejournal.com]

No, I didn't, but there was something in chorus where they basically gave my information to a bunch of music/arts like colleges. >>; Hence, I get musical college spam.

ZOMGIGOTTHATEMAILTOO!!!

Scary.

For some reason when I first read your comment, the HAT from that and the E from email stood out and I read it as ZOMG I got hate mail too!!! I was wondering when I said anything about hate mail and then I realized that it said that email and I felt stupid.

That is scary.

Ooops. That's why we invented the space bar, I guess.

Did you get one like two days ago from Standford University too?

[meorae.livejournal.com]

I got one yesterday about a summer thing at Standford but not one trying to convince me to go to Standford.
