In which it has been simply too long....

I always miss blogging.  So, here goes:

College applications=major time-eater.  Appalachian State made me write FOUR ESSAYS in order to be considered for their chancellor's choice scholarship; UNC Chapel Hill asked for a boatload of information (along with two essays); and then there's Mars Hill, Elon.... BUT, after taking the ACT and SAT again, I have raised my scores!  ACT was a 27, SAT was 2050.  Hopefully this will help me get some good scholarships.

Happy late Thanksgiving! I hope you guys had a good one.  We stayed at my aunt and uncle's in Raleigh over the weekend, hitting some malls and such on Black Friday.  I bought some pretty cool stuff (a union jack t-shirt!) and then at around 9:30 we ate at P.F. Chang's.  INCREDIBLE CHINESE!!!  Eggrolls cooked to perfection, lettuce rolls, lo mein...ahh.

At long last I have finished reading the entire Inheritance Cycle (aka the Eragon books).  It had a bittersweet ending, but I had expected more twists in the last book.  Overall, though, it's a fantastic series, and I'll likely read it again in the future.

My friend Hannah is coming over for the first time tomorrow, and I'm really excited.  She likes to write songs, like me, and we both love chocolate, to name but a few of the many things we have in common.  I got a hot chili chocolate bar for us to share tomorrow, but I couldn't wait and had to nibble. Imagine rich dark chocolate, practically melting in your mouth. You swallow, and then this spicy aftertaste rolls over your tongue. This is my kind of experience. (;

Here's a song I heard on a Disney dvd advertisement. I loved it, looked it up, and listen to it all the time.  I do seriously feel this way sometimes:

 

And I finished crocheting my hat, which I wore yesterday and today, and I am working towards getting some pictures of my new bedroom up.  That for a later post. Until then, so long my fair DBFs.
