This month.

I can’t wait for January to be over, all of this stress will FINALLY be done with.

  • SAT’s this saturday, i’m going to destroy it and get it over with.
  • AP chem test / take home test / lab, after SAT’s i’m going to hit the books RIGHT away.
  • Track season starts this monday

Finally realized my GOAL schools for collegeĀ 

This is the order in which i want to go

  1. UC Santa Barbara (party school yet great education, 46% male 54% female (; ) avg SAT 1850 , gpa 4.08 weighted.
  2. UC Irvine ( AMAZING campus, next to disneyland, nice atmosphere, i’ve been there 47% male 53% female :D) avg GPA like 4.0 avg SAT 1800
  3. UC San Diego ( GREAT education, 46% male 54% female, mainly white people, beaches, tough college to make) avg gpa 4.09 SAT like 1950
  4. UC Davis ( Not sure about this place, but i heard it’s in the middle of no where, so i’m not tryna go here in terms of college but if i make it without the other 3, why not )

Well these are the four colleges i want to go too. In terms of gpa i have like a 3.8-3.9, and this SAT i’m hoping to get at least an 1800. I know i’m a little behind GPA wise but since i’ve been doing lots of sports, 4 year basketball manager, tons of community service and i’m goin to go for an internship this summer will give me a boost. In the end I just wanna be happy for what i’ve accomplished and with no regrets.

If i make none of these schools i’m going to de anza and thats final. I’m not going to go for the CSU because once i finish at De-anza i can probably transfer somewhere like UCLA. And when jobs look at our resume they look at where I graduated from, so they don’t see de-anza there at all. Community colleges are looked down upon too often and they aren’t seen as good because of….. what? Nothing, they’re just a stepping stool sometimes for people who just need a boost.
