family & current status

  • I called my parents to inform them that I had gotten accepted to San Fransisco State and they weren't as happy as I thought they would be. My dad misinterpreted the concept of me getting accepted to that school. He thought that by me going to that school it meant that I was already choosing to attend it. The reason he didn't like the idea of me going to that school is due to the fact that it's not that close to home and he wants me closer to my siblings. He has no idea that I plan on living in the dorms in whatever school I choose to attend yet I haven't told them yet because I know their going to disagree. I want to see how many scholarships I can get and if it's just too expensive, then I'll live at home. Nobody in my family understands how great it was for me to get admitted to this school. Their expressions were more like "ok". I told my brother about it and he said not to be so happy because my parents were never going to let me go to a state school so to not even think about living in the dorms. I got really upset because instead of encouraging me, their doing the opposite. 

  • I am thrilled to say that I completed my FAFSA application on Thursday and sent it off to all the colleges. I now have one less thing to worry about! I am very thankful that there are a lot of days available in school to get help to fill that application out because I needed a lot of help. I would've had no idea how to even start without all the support of everyone in this school. Now, I need to start writing and applying for scholarships. I keep on moving it to another day and I should really start those because times goes by so quickly. P.S. I'm failing math analysis and I'm terrified.

Stressful Days


  • I am stressed about math analysis. That class is getting extremely complicated and I have an upcoming test. Right now I have a D in that class and that frightens me. This is stressing me out a lot because I need to pass it with a C or higher or else I will definitely be kicked out of college. 
  • To get rid of so much stress I am exercising, and talking people I have a lot of confidence with. I also listen to music because find that to be relaxing. I should start to get more help and take everything step by step because there is a lot needed to be accomplished. I attended Students For Success on tuesday which was very useful and yesterday Judit helped me out with my math homework. If i want to do well on the upcoming test, I know I need to do a lot of studying.
  • I am looking forward to hearing from colleges next month and I hope to have done a lot of scholarships as well as be done with my FAFSA application. 
  • Right now, my college process is still being viewed/ in process. For San Francisco State, I needed to send a copy of my alien registration card, but i already did that a couple of days ago. For the CSU I applied to, I need to turn in the dorm application. For San Jose State, I theres nothing on my TO DO LIST. However, I still need to apply to FAFSA and sign up for the placement tests. I'm really scared that I will not get accepted into any college, but I'll wait and see what happens.
