Today I volunteered at the Federal Way Symphony's "Garden Tour" fund raiser. It was only three hours, so it was not as bad as I thought it would be, but it was still a bit dull. I felt kind of ripped off because Owen and Evan got walkie-talkies (they were in charge of parking) and I got to sit at a table with Deirdre (Owen's mom)'s finance handing out raffle tickets and selling water bottles. Walkie-talkies automatically make any job cooler, as I discovered when I was covering Owen's duties while he was in the bathroom.

Evan decided that my call sign is "Fire Ant." All right, I'm cool with that.

Good thing it didn't start raining until after we had finished our shifts.

I am starting to get worried about my UW application. I have not sent it in yet, but my essay is not turning out to be as great as I had hoped. I cannot send it in until my mom gets home next week so that she can give me all of the financial info that I need to fill out, which does give me more time to work on it. I can't help but thinking, though, that I am going to get rejected again. Sure, I am a good writer, and my GPA has improved considerably since high school (when I last applied), but I am still freaking out about it. What if I don't get in? Then what?

Even if you don't think it's good, you should get an outside opinion on your essay. I find that a lot of the time the work I think sucks the most gets a good grade. :P

It's ultimately up to you though.

Are you only applying to UW? That's a bit risky... I'm good @ writing too, but I'm a super-stupid at math, and apparently UW likes a good math child. That means more work for me....
