guingel | college odds and ends

I'm feeling a bit under the weather, but considering that today was very lovely out, if a bit cloudy, that doesn't say much.

As far as I know, I've gotten into everywhere except Wesleyan, who I haven't heard from. :D

Barnard sent the acceptance but not a financial aid information, which is confusing and irksome. I am not having good financial aid luck thus far!

Smith mailed their's yesterday, but I was able to check online, and it looks like I'm in!

Katie has also gotten in everywhere that's gotten back to her thus far. :D

Thus, I have a lot of deciding to do. I think somewhere around the ninth we're heading up to boston. Yeah. Thursday, actually, which is I think the eighth. So Katie is going to go to a reception at BU, and visit Brandeis again, I believe, and I'm going to revisit Wellesley. And we're going to go to a reception at Barnard sometime next month as well. I believe that only 2 guests can accompany Katie to the BU thing, so one parent is going to go with her and another is going to take me around Boston. Well. You know what I mean. Do a bit of sight-seeing. I loved Boston when mom, Katie, and I went in seventh grade. That was a fantastic trip. The school trip was to Philadelphia, which we'd already been to several times. So we went up to Boston for four days. Well, first we spent two days in Boston, and went to the aquarium and did that. . . Freedom Path? Whatever they're called. And then we went down and stayed in a motel and saw Plymouth Rock and Plymouth Plantation, or whatever the Bethpage-esque thing is down there. It was really cool. Much heavier than Bethpage, I believe. But I love OBVR.

Am going to watch A Knight's Tale tonight, because the girl who played Door in the Neverwhere miniseries is in it. Or rather, I'm watching it because it's going to be on channel 4, I've wanted to watch it ever since i looked up Laura Fraser and saw she was in it. Yay Laura's! ;)
