Ben Weasel Thinks We Suck
Very uneventful day.
It was nice to get to chat with you today Lindsey. No, I have no idea why Pat can be so strange, but I love him regardless.
Going out to dinner for my mother’s birthday tonight.
Uhhh, wow, I can’t really think of anything right now. It’ll come to me at like 12 while I’m doing more college stuff.
Until then my dears,
Alex Penney
Another 25
…Just because an hour of reading about political party realignments turns me into a zombie, and I must return to my living, breathing body. Also because after doing so many of these, it feels like a challenge to think up even more…and aaalso because I get phases where I feel like posting on Tumblr a lot, and today is one of those times.
1. I’m still itching to cut my hair into that asymmetrical bob. Maybe post-graduation?
2. I wish I remembered more of my dreams (as opposed to almost none at all).
3. I wish we had a Chipotle near us :[
4. Sometimes it makes me sad that some people automatically dismiss rap or R&B as “crappy music”, especially when those people preach about being open to everything.
5. It’s fine in moderation, but I currently hate the flannel trend (it was fine when it was a fringe trend, but when I see masses of it in the hallways, it’s just a little much).
6. I never cheat on tests anymore because I have minimal faith in the other people in my classes.
7. I have a very easily-triggered temper.
8. …I’ve gotten much, much better at controlling myself.
9. (Some days, it feels like control is all I’ve got).
10. Ninjas over pirates, any day.
11. Despite how many trees have been sacrificed and the fact that I’m just not interested, I like getting all of those letters from colleges every day for the past two years or so.
12. I regret my first kiss happening the way that it did. I would take that one back if I could.
13. I’m sorry that I just sounded like an overly-sentimental, overly-hormonal middle schooler.
14. I’m scared that I’ll fail out of college considering how bad at time management I am already.
15. I generally feel distant to my extended family.
16. I hate beer. It’s disgusting.
17. I don’t miss dance. It seems like that happened in another lifetime.
18. I have never wanted parents to be anyone other than themselves.
19. I really enjoy making and spending my own money.
20. I have never been high, and don’t plan on it, ever.
21. Coach buses tend to gross me out for some reason.
22. I generally don’t feel like I’m that short (but I am).
23. One thing I’m excited about next year is finding a new church/fellowship at college.
24. I never buy music.
25. I don’t know what to get for my secret santa. It needs to be something incredibly intense.
I don’t know why, but this reminds me of the 5 hour question game. Let’s have another one of those sometime soon. I promise I won’t ask anymore stupid questions about mustaches and superheroes. Actually that’s probably all I’d ask about.
P.E.
Essay seems pretty good to me. We’ll see what Mr. Oatis says this time.
Kinda tired, though I didn’t do anything today.
In gym today, for like the first few minutes, there was only me and like 4 or 5 kids up in the gym, taking shots at the hoops. I don’t really like basketball all that much, but something about that moment really relaxed me. Nobody was speaking (it was like those 4 or 5 kids that LOVE basketball that much that they change pretty quickly to just get up there and play). Feelings, thoughts, headaches, confusion, etc. all just kind of slipped away, and I could concentrate on one or two things that I wanted to think about. I wanted it to stay that way all period so I could just try and reason some things out.
That’s not how gym works though.
Left and Leaving
Meh day.
I ran into a miss Sarah today, and I must say, that despite hardly knowing the girl, I miss her and she’s a wonderful person. I told her that we had to catch up soon, hope that happens.
For whatever reason I feel like she’s the kind of person I could sit and have a fancy dinner with and talk about the most vulgar things. No idea where this thought came from, I think it just kinda describes her personality. Maybe.
Anyways, despite what appears to be harsh comments from Oatis (he wasn’t in school, so I couldn’t ask him directly), I think the changes I need to make for my essay are simple enough, and it should be decent pretty soon. Doing that after CEA and watching more videos on youtube (it started with lame indie bands, then went to lady gaga, now the weakerthans live. I can be really spastic when it comes to music. I guess I should throw in some grindcore).
Off to go buy my dad a Craftsman digital multimeter.
YES!
fuck you for making me reblog this
i hate reblog ifs
but it’s true
LOOOL; OH YUP !
OMFGG, I’VE BEEN WISHING THAT SINCE LIKE, I SAW POKEMON! LOL.
aha totally!
in 5th grade someone convinced me that pokemon and fairies were real though xD

this makes me think of adventures.
FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.
That’s seriously all that’s on my mind right now.
Off to go watch tv to clear my head of adventures, then rewrite brown essay, or something else.
bye.

His voice sounds a little weird, but it isn’t bad. Interesting in the least.

FAFSA/CSS
The FAFSA site gave the impression I can’t fill out the form for the proper year until january 1st. True or false.
CSS is also not due for a while, right?
thank you<3333333
(I should have been able to figure that out on my own, and I kinda did, I just wanted to be sure and not fucking myself over).
Oh, and you answered pt. 1 of my text, find you’re phone and at least tell me to go do work or something, please don’t just ignore it, I’ll just wait for a response as an excuse to slack a little. I think I might ask my dad if I can stay home tomorrow and just do a shit ton of college stuff.

1. I ran a good 1000m workout today. You know it’s winter track when you still feel cold on your last set. You know it’s winter track when the dry skin on your knuckles start bleeding for no apparent reason. Yummy.
2. I have no much work I should be doing right now (APES project, study for that huuuuuge Gov unit test coming up that I know nothing about, etc.), but I always get especially lazy after workouts. Or maybe it’s because I’m not going to be in school tomorrow for the Lion King field trip? I don’t know.
3. I also don’t know what I want for Christmas. I think all I really want from the parentals is me being added onto their car insurance so that I can drive whenever I want.
4. Just got a call from Annie while typing that last one. Currently helping her out with her college apps and all the score reporting stuff. Her mom’s freaking out, she’s freaking out, and I think the only person not feeling utter calamity in this situation is me, so I should stop multitasking and calm her down. Laaaaater.
Since you’re answering questions about score reporting, how do I go about sending AP scores/should I even bother?
I may have a few other random questions, which I’ll edit into this post or something if they come to mind.

Don’t bother sending AP scores. They see which ones you’ve taken through your transcript, and most of them don’t accept credit anyways. Basically, if the school you’re going to (meaning you’ve been accepted already) takes the scores as credits, then you should send them in. Otherwise, it’s like what, $15 per test to report or something? The scores don’t matter in the app process.
