guidance departments are slack

Hola, mi amigos and amigas.
That's Spanish for "Welcome back to Krista's Super Awesome ProgressiveU.org Blog". If you don't believe me go look in the dictionary. I'm serious. It's in there.

A lot has happened since I last wrote. I took a break from writing because I was under a lot of stress. But I won't bore you with high school drama. I'm sure you all are dealing with the same thing.

I applied to Penn State a couple weeks ago, but I don't think my school's guidance department has even sent out my transcript yet. I don't mean to bash my own school, but our guidance department is so unorganized. For a while we didn't even have an actual guidance counselor. We just had someone sitting at the desk filling out forms and sending out stuff. She was efficient, but it was quite the guerilla setup. Now we've got an actual guidance counselor, and it's taking them two weeks now to send stuff out. I don't get it.

Anyway, the real downer of this is that all my friends are getting accepted to Penn State. They're even getting accepted to University Park. Seriously, the week after I apply they get accepted. Turns out they applied in September. So, I'm really hoping I get accepted to University Park campus and that I didn't apply too late.

The first quarter of my senior year ended, and I'm expecting report cards next week. I think I did okay. I'm only worried about history. My history teacher is a funny guy but a stickler when it comes to essays. I can't just take it easy with him. I have to really put forth effort, which I don't like to do. It's senioritis at its best.

That's about all for now. Hope all the seniors are doing okay with applications and what not. By the way, 36 days until Christmas. Some gift ideas: iPod, new Guitar, money, new car, more money. Just throwing some ideas out there.

Later,
Krista
