Blog #1 1. I have applied to old dominion university, james madison university, and virginia commonwealth university so far. I also plan on applying to bluefield college or berklee college of music. 2. I took the SAT in may 2011 and december 2011 I took the ACT in december 2011 3. I do not have recommendations right now but i will ask for some when I apply for scholarships 4. I have not needed a personal statement for english class and I have not used a personal statement for any of the colleges i have applied to.

I spent my break relaxing and working on applications. I finished the James Madison University application and did most of Virginia Commonwealth University’s application. Virginia Commonwealth’s application was the hardest to apply. It was hard getting to the actual application and it was hard to answer some of the questions listed on the application. I also did homework within the break for AP Biology. I had to find information on plant diversity to teach my class my topic. I did all the research during the break and was able to find most of the information I needed to find during the break. Before Christmas I had to do last minute Christmas shopping for my family and some of my friends. I had to spend my money carefully because I haven’t been working on cars so I didn’t have as much money as I would normally have. I got my brother some hoodies that were on sale at pacsun and Karen a journal, chocolate covered raisins, and a necklace with a pair of earrings. I got my parents a gift card to some restaurant that I can’t recall the name of at the moment. I also went to the mall seriously every day during the week. I used the money I got from Christmas to buy a pair of nike air max 90s and a hat to match it. I also went to applebees with Karen on Wednesday for lunch and then went to some other stores after we ate. On Monday I had to clean my car, change the oil, and then change the brakes. It was way too cold to be working on a car. I did not apply for scholarships yet but I will eventually. I have not heard from any schools yet. My classes are going well. I have been doing all of my work. I am only taking 1 AP class which is AP Biology. I am loving senior right now but at the same time it can be extremely stressful and the work can be really time-consuming.

Blog #2

I have finished almost all of my applications. I finished Old Dominion University’s, James Madison University’s, and Virginia Commonwealth University’s applications and have sent all of the requirements for each college. I have sent my transcript to all three schools, I have sent the secondary school report for James Madison University which was the only school I have applied to so far that needed a secondary school report, and I have sent my SAT scores to all three schools. I might apply for one more school if I feel like I have time to do one more application because my schedule so far is really hectic due to midterm assessments and other big tests, labs, and projects that are due fairly soon. I will be filling out a FAFSA form when I have time because it would be nice to not have to pay so much money for college. I will also start applying for scholarships soon too. I have found a couple of scholarships I can apply to. There is a musical scholarship I can apply for that will provide $2000 dollars and maybe a couple other music scholarships that I will apply to as well. I will probably be going to old dominion university because it is a lot cheaper to go there than anywhere else. If I can get enough scholarship money and I get accepted to James Madison University, then I will go there instead. While I have been doing all of this work I have been fairly calm because I do not like being stressed and because stress is a sin.
