| | Okay, so I've got 20 pages of paper left to write before Friday, but
I've had a good day that I would like to write about briefly, and some
updates on law school.
1) Today I heard that I was admitted to
Boston University. A few weeks ago, I got a letter from Columbia that
said I had been put on their reserve list, which basically means that
they won't be giving me a definitive answer until June, at which point
I could be admitted, rejected, or put on the wait-list. This means that
I probably won't be attending Columbia, because I can't wait that long
to determine what I'm doing, besides the fact that they're likely to
reject me anyway. I also assume that I will be rejected from Harvard,
but if anything exciting comes in the mail in the next few weeks, don't
worry, all of you will know. Thus, I will be attending Michigan or
Georgetown next year, but I'm going to wait awhile before making that
decision. If anyone has an opinion one way or another, let me know.
2)
I got a 90% on my history exam. I should have done better but I thought
I did worse. I was also and idiot and missed an easy 5 points by
forgetting to do one of the IDs. So overall I feel a little dumb, but
I'm happy with how I did.
3) Natalie Portman showed up in my
Terrorism & Counterterrorism class today, as a suprise guest
speaker to talk about her new film (V for Vendetta). My class was
invited to an early screening of it which I didn't attend, but the
people that went said it was good. I believe they're going to show her
speaking to my class on MTV-U, whatever that is. She was really little,
and she seemed to know a bit about terrorism based on some research for
the film, but I think her showing up had more to do with the Professor
being well-connected (he was a speechwriter for Senator Dodd, but I'm
not sure how that equals knowing people in the movie industry) and
either wanting to show off and get the class excited or doing a favor
for someone who wanted her to speak to a class that would understand
what she was talking about.
Anyway, it was a good day, and I needed a good day. I wish the same for all of you.
Oh yeah, and Friday I will be in Disney World. It's 85 degrees there. |
