What Kind of Nerdfighter Are You?: calculus doing, earth loving, violin playing, nerdfighter

About Me:: Hi, I'm Elena. Instead of telling you about my self, which is very complicated becuase I am so manythings I will just tell you a philosophy of mine.

I take each day and cherish it. If I'm having a bad day, I remember how good it is to be alive, and I share my joy with others in hopes that they will cherish each day too.

Favorite Books: Harry Potter, His Dark Materials, Catcher in the Rye, The Secret Life of Bees, The Last Summer, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Looking for Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines, Angus Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging (and all of the other Georgia books)... the list goes on and on

If you could do your happy dance with anyone who would it be with?: Hank and John of course!

Anyways, I'm actually doing very well, how are you?
response to random bit of nerdfighterness: Eeek, I'm so excited for you! Do you think that you're going to go see him?! Who am I kidding, if he's that close, who wouldn't want to go see him (and 45 minutes away doesn't seem that bad).
Best wishes! ~nikki

I didn't get in, but I really hope you do! My year of applications was HUGE, so maybe you'll have better luck!
(Btw, I did early decision too, but got deferred to regular decision. Like I said, I didn't get in, but if you get deferred too, don't feel bad, because lots of people still get in that way!) Good Luck!

At 2:37pm on September 2nd, 2008, Nikki said…: Your right, letter of recs would be so much easier if there weren't a billion students in my classes. I'm surprised whenever a teacher I have currently knows my name, let alone a teacher I had a year or more ago.
What's that Pomona thing?
Yeah, I know what you mean, I put off my stuff until absolute last minute. To get me to study for a test (even a final) more than a day before the test is impossible.
You're taking the ACT as a senior, will that be the first time or just a repeat?
I miss my old senior friends too, it's so sad that they all had to go, at least face book helps with that though.
Hawaii?? Really, that is awesome. That right there is the major benefit of having such a small class, you guys get to go on an amazing senior trip to Hawaii (possibly, or hopefully rather, for you). The only good thing about being a senior at Neuqua (my school) is that we have prom (seniors only, unless your date is a underclassman) and senior spectacular which is where we have a sleep over in the school.
yikes, this comment is getting way too long, plus I forgot what I was going to say... so I'll leave it at this :D

At 7:18pm on August 31st, 2008, Nikki said…: Just remember, it's only one more year, then you can go nuts meeting new people and joining new clubs in college. Having no music in school, that's a downer, my school is nothing without it's music program.
Haha, must have been no pressure for the girl's soccer team that year, that goes for all of the sports teams.
Graduating with the same people from kindergarten must be really emotional. I'm lucky if I even see any of my friends (the ones not in my classes) at all during the day. The cool thing is, when you get done with high school (just keep thinking one more year), then you have a new atmosphere to deal with, and new awesome people.
Crap, that reminds me that I have to do homework, and I just got a college application (to Marquette) and I need to fill that out sometime, and I'm avoiding all that stuff.
I just realized something... you probably know all of your teachers really well, since your class sizes must be so small, every student probably has personal time with the teacher. I can't imagine that, I would probably freak out.
Anyways, happy extended weekend, and best wishes.

Yeah, the shift key can very annoying when it wants to be.
I totally agree with the history thing, it is really boring. For some reason, it seems like all history teachers are out to get their students.
Good luck applying to all those schools, that's a really nice list you've got there. I'm really anxious to get all of this applying stuff done with.

At 8:57pm on August 28th, 2008, Nikki said…: How small is your school? My school is the exact opposite, we have 4,800 kids in the school and 1,000 are in my graduating class. We have a ton of AP classes. Really the labs in AP bio weren't that interesting, so you didn't miss out on too much. Plus the labs in college should much cooler. I remember the fetal pig dissection... ahhh, fond memories. What else besides bio do you like (I see you like calculus, which is awesome in a really smart way)?
Your picture is really pretty, I love the trees.
When it comes to applying, I think Loyola University in Chicago is my favorite place, after that would be Boston College or Cornell (If I could get in that is, which is a no). How about you?

Hello there fellow bio nut, and senior.
I'm just curious, what is that picture of (the one with the trees and the person in the background) it looks very mysterious?
Good luck with senior year, it's my first week back, and I can feel the pressure of college aps already, which makes me stressed. How bout for you? dftba.
Oh yeah, yes I am planning on majoring in bio, are you?
