there will NOT pass a day without a blog entry...

i have this playlist set up that loops over and over, just four songs - "if you want to sing out," "fast car," "(love is like) anthrax," and "kiss kiss kiss" from ddr. i'm like weeping into my whiskey over here i miss y'all so much (constantly, and un-festival-relatedly.) but then again you probably knew that.

am i the only one who feels cheap writing about tasp for college essays? actually, to be honest, the whole application process makes me feel like a prostitute. (i'm well aware that logically, that makes no sense - after all, i'm the one paying THEM.) i don't like being vulnerable to anyone, let alone anonymous strangers in some admissions office somewhere. plus if i do another edit of this motherfrickin cancer essay i'm going to vomit all over the keyboard.

but enough of that. i'm sure that those of you who are still wrestling with applications, you can provide enough whining on your own, and those of you who got in early and are done with the process - actually, you deserve to hear all the whining i can subject you to. look for private emails. but the distastefulness of it all is almost done, and i'm excited for the new year. and for second semester. i've been looking forward to those two things for so long that they're sort of starting to blend together. second semester senior year i will quit smoking, lose 20 pounds, and stop fighting with my family. in the new year i resolve to smoke a lot more, rarely go to class, and never do my homework.

not that any of y'all would fall into the dreaded (?) senioritis (i'm trying to picture tasper senioritis - "i decided, whatever, just fuck it. i dropped down to three extracurriculars per afternoon and let my average fall to a high a-minus.") since it's that time of year, that can be my end-of-blog question - what are people's new year's resolutions? i've been thinking a lot about mine. being only 17 years old, i don't have a whole lot of regrets, but some of my biggest are the decisions i've made that are going to keep me from going to college at these fabulous places that keep getting mentioned on the blog - not because i'm particularly obsessed with the ivy league or anything, but because it sure would be cool to go to school with you guys. i've almost always justified said decisions with "at least i'm having fun" - but more times than not, i was having no fun at all. so my new year's resolution is to finally do it - to HAVE A GOOD TIME in the last few months of high school, whatever that means to me.

but before i can do that, i have to finish these @#$!*% essays. i have no idea what to write about for the telluride house "topic of choice" essay at all - help me! (i was really paranoid about posting that on the blog, thinking that jamie would see it and report back to the cornell branch committee that i hadn't even started my topic of choice essay at this late date, but then i realized a. jamie doesn't read the blog, sniff sniff and b. jamie, of all people, knows the incredible depths of my procrastination.)

you see what happens when you don't blog? you get these stupid rambles from me. you know what really keeps my blogging concise? AUDIOBLOGGING! you don't need a mic or anything just the phone so pick it up and record a post! do i need to point out the fact that everyone except for tae-yeoun has been beaten by both me AND john? how sad is that? audioblog audioblog audioblog! now!

much love,
kelsey

p.s.: tae-yeoun, i LOVE the ravishing quote...
