senior exhibition Tuesday, April 17, 2007 5:26pm Senior Exhibition was last Friday. I've been meaning to update about how it went, but I've been so tired and sluggish lately. Anyways, so it was Friday the 13th that day, and I woke up with a sore throat. I wasn't superstitious before, but I might be now.. The actual presentation wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Obviously I was nervous, but I got through it. The main thing was the waiting process; just being anxious and wanting to get it over with. School got out at 11:30 and I had to meet at school at 12:45, then my presentation was about half an hour later. I had 5 people on my panel to watch and judge me. Intimidating? Just a little. Other people had only 3. Lucky. Technically there were only 4, because the 5th guy was on his cell phone THE ENTIRE TIME. Then he had the nerve to give me a 6 out of 9 on my presentation. The other four gave me a 9 out of 9. How is he going to critique me when he didn't even have the decency to pay attention? It wasn't mandatory for him to come, he VOLUNTEERED to be part of the panel. I did my presentation of a potential career in the dental field. My favorite question they asked was, "What's the worst thing about getting braces?" --My answer-- "Not being able to eat what I want to eat." =) So that was Senior Exhibition. I'm so glad it's over. I still think it was a waste of time. I even said that in my reflection, but then I added that "in the end, it was useful because it taught me how to blah blah etc." Comment!

I got into UCSD, but I guess I got into the worst college there, Sixth College. I didn't even have the opportunity to get excited for UCSD because almost every person has told me that sixth college sucks. It wasn't my first choice, it wasn't my fault that I got into there. UCSD was my #1 choice for as long as I can remember, and now I dread going there. There's no other choice for me.. I'd go to SDSU if it wasn't so crowded. It's one thing trying to get me to transfer to a different university, but it's another thing putting down and rejecting what I got accepted to. Can't you just be happy for me.. for 5 minutes? I don't even want to go to UCSD anymore. Not only because of the college I got into there, but because it's so close to home. I'm at the point where I just want to leave the city or even the state. I mean, how would you feel if you were excited about going to the school of your choice, but everyone kept criticizing it? I just want them to say congratulations and forget about sixth college or revelle or muir or whatever. Thanks to them, I don't even know what university I want to go to now. I'm trying to not let it affect me, but I can't help it.. especially if I'm hearing how horrible it is all the time. It used to be crystal clear and now.. I'm not so sure. Sorry.. just venting. probably didn't make much sense or was gramatically correct but i was just frustrated. It pisses me off. Comment! (8) | Recommend!
