An Introvert's Interview

Aghhhh. I just did my first ever college interview by phone. It was terrifying. And only homeschool students have to participate. Prejudiced I tell you. 

This is how I felt the whole time. 



But on the outside, I was like


Apparently, to my mom who was eavesdropping, my voice was "very sweet". Ew, what, no. I don't want a sweet voice. I want a super-boss, I'm-definitely-all-that voice. 


*le sigh* At least I didn't choke on my own mouth water or something equally as embarrassing. I got off with just saying "Um" a little bit. My hand was definitely shaking though. 

This is what human contact does to me. 


Terrifying isn't it. 

I know. I'm glad I didn't look into the mirror. Not only was I hyperventilating (very much), I also turned into a man. Stress does things to me. Maybe I should get it checked. 

Hey, I'm an introvert, okay? And do you know what all introverts have?


That's right. I have minions. You don't. 


I amuse myself so much :) Sorry, for the overabundance of GIFs and memes. I'm going to do it again next time though. Just so you know. 

The college I did the interview for is about an hour and a half (I think) from where I live right now. It has a beautiful campus with lots of gothic-type buildings. And I'm really hoping I get into this one. I'll know by the first week of February. Eeek!

I drove my Mustang last night. I also forgot to put the parking brake off until my dad mentioned it very casually to me but let's not dwell on that. It felt really good to drive it again despite the freezing cold of the outdoors. Very cold here, people. 

I'm in my relaxing clothes right now. This means: a blue and white striped shirt, black fleece jacket, maroon pajama pants, and blue, yellow, and black socks. 

Please don't keel over and die. I promise I only dress like this at home.

    This post is SO full of awesome. Honestly. It is. I feel like that when I'm around humans too... -_- And I haven't even had to do a super-serious-talk-on-the-phone to anyone before. I hate phones. I have a freakish abhorrence to them. I like the sound of your relaxing clothes! They sound like my normal clothes (except for the pants...I wear denim not pajamas).

      Thank you, I try :D Gah, yes, I hate talking on the phone and when I do I talk in short, clipped sentences. Phone conversations are not my thing (or any conversation with humans for that matter). Humans. Who can understand them?

      And now that I think about it...yep, that's pretty much what I wear as well. I think the maroon pajama pants are what made it really crazy :)

Waiting on Wednesday {2}

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where you talk about books that you can't wait to read, but that are, unfortunately, not published yet.   In a Handful of Dust by Mindy McGinnis Publication date: September 23, 2014 Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books The only thing bigger than the world is fear. Lucy’s life by the pond has always been full. She has water and friends, laughter and the love of her adoptive mother, Lynn, who has made sure that Lucy’s childhood was very different from her own. Yet it seems Lucy’s future is settled already—a house, a man, children, and a water source—and anything beyond their life by the pond is beyond reach. When disease burns through their community, the once life-saving water of the pond might be the source of what’s killing them now. Rumors of desalinization plants in California have lingered in Lynn’s mind, and the prospect of a “normal” life for Lucy sets the two of them on an epi

Book Haul + My First Guest Post (!)

Guys, guys, guys, guys. I did my very first guest post at Tansie Gray's blog Totally Tansie  and it was awesome collaborating with her! Tansie's blog is full of hilarious book reviews, rants, and writing tips. I had a great time writing the post: "10 Ways to Make Your Sister Mad"  I'd love it if you could pop over to Totally Tansie and check it out (And maybe leave a comment. Hint, hint). [][][][][][][][] I also went to my favorite used-books store last Sunday. I didn't get as many books as usual...Not many YA novels *gasp*. I felt unfulfilled. But I didn't want to spend what the books cost, so I snatched a few middle-grade types.  1. Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep by Gail Carson Levine A short fairytale re-telling of Sleeping Beauty in a funny, simple way. It's very  short. 107 pages short. 2.   The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan Book 2 of the Percy Jackson series! Now I can finally read it and see how it measures up to th

Airplanes and Sky

Remember when I talked about big travel things that I was going to do this summer? THE TIME. HAS. COME. IT IS HERE. YAY. As you can probably tell, I'm just a little excited. Me and my family are headed to Taiwan this summer for my uncle's wedding and since plane trips aren't really a regular thing for us, it'll be awesome.  If you know me even a little bit, you know that I love  traveling and gosh I'm just so excited to be able to be in and see another culture for a little while. *happy dance* Another reason I'm writing this is to tell you about how I get ready for major trips and whatever little tips I use to make traveling easier. Maybe they'll help you in a future trip. ^^ Any trip needs music, but especially one where there are multiple long layovers and a hugely long flight over the Pacific Ocean. I've been updating the music on my phone (music helps me sleep so much better too), which is fun and boring at the sa
