The Past, Present, and Future

So... it's been a while, eh? Well, if we were to chart of all my posts by dates, this might actually fall into the every six months, once in winter break and once in summer vacation pattern. Yup. Of course, I should never deprive my oh-so-faithful audience from my daily musings! My poor, poor souls. How your lives must have suffered without my intellectual thoughts! Anyway, I am back and better than ever.
SAT prep has really been wearing me down even though I spend half my days online playing games (hey, it worked when I was getting ready for AP tests!). Summer has been wearing me down to be honest. Weekends are the worst since I have to take practice tests, and actually study. But I shouldn't complain. My future's on the line, and I need to put out my maximum efforts.
I've always thought I would end up going to a pretty good school, maybe an Ivy. But after so much research, it seems that I'm falling short. My SAT scores aren't up, my extracurricular activities are almost non-existential, I don't have any sort of award, and much less something that makes me stand out from the crowd. I know people are still relatively successful even going to an O.K college, but I want to make a change in this world. I knew there was always a reason why I was attracted to the United Nations or the various world organizations as well as the idea of volunteering in impoverish regions of the world. It's because I want to be out there, making a difference. I want to make the world a better place, and I just hope that I can do that. "Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something," once e-mailed the great Jane Fairfax. And I really hope, Ms. Fairfax, that I can do something.
