There is a very good chance school will be closed tomorrow, ice storm, you see. We could get up to half an inch of ice, which would be bad. Oddly enough, the ice is supposed to stop very soon after three (which is when we get out of school).

I'm getting very excited for college. All of my applications are in, even if I think my transcript for UDel got lost in the mail because they still don't have it and it's been over a month since I handed in the forms at my school. In any case, I'm done until FAFSA and all that financial aid crap. Honestly, how insane are college prices now? Plus, how much does it suck that your aid package goes down every year even though tuition goes up?

As if I didn't need another thing to worry about, I hear RPI is giving provisional admissions to some people, saying they need a college-level Calculus and Chemistry class and making them enter in Spring, even though they took AP Calc and AP Chem. How does that make any kind of sense? On the website it says you only need through Pre-Calc and it mentions nothing about having to take any college level courses. WTF, RPI?

The more I learn about college admissions, the more I think it's completely arbitrary.

I swear, college is going to kill me before I even get there.

First of all, best wishes with the ice storm. My parents and sister are in Oklahoma, still without power, and it sounds like no fun at all. The pictures of the downed trees make it look like a war zone. I hope you escape the worst of it.

Second, best wishes with the whole college application thing. I'm glad to hear you're excited. I know the whole experience will be awesome for you! I'm sending best wishes your way (because they're nice, not because you need them *g*)...

hmm have you asked your counselor and made sure that they sent it?
i know a lot of people have problems getting transcripts to the colleges and it is the high schools fault. i would definitely check into that.

Yeah, I'm planning on asking them and then sending an e-mail to the college explaining what happened.
