Contemplate My Thoughts
So much crap...so little relevance

Canada Post

It is scholarship application time, specifically UBC and SFU. Thank goodness U of T automatically decides about scholarships based on your application. All are rigorous processes requiring essays, references, reference letters and official transcripts. For some obscure reason they are all required by March 1st and I have the unfortunate trip to Idaho planned amidst this chaos of applications. I'm not going anywhere until september so I don't know why this is all so soon. Anyways, I can't trust Canada Post to get my applications to the universities on time so I'll have to pay some frivolous amount for rush mail. Yet again, I'm faced with much work that creeped up on me while I was thinking my courses were easy.

On the topic of mail, I somehow got a gmail account. w00t. it is bradneilson@gmail.com.

I attained the 99th percentile on the math section of the SAT and the 97th percentile on the verbal portion, so I can safely say that I beat at least 1,000,000 Americans at something, if not 2 or 3 million. A more local matter is the quest for a prom date. I am faced with a difficult decision and may just go stag. It is harder than any caculus question I'll have to answer.

Ah, speaking of calculus, we are starting on derivatives now, so I learned my first calculus today: how to find the equation of a tangent line. mmmm don't you just love calculating the slope of a single point? My dad's been asking if I've learned this yet for the past 3 years. Anyways, I'll be off to the movies tonight. c ya later

  • Yeah, I have to apply for stuff too. I just kind of forgot about it & now I am in the interesting situation of being not in the country at all. Maybe this year UBC will give me scholarships, like the automatic one they should have offered based on percent averages but chose not to.

    Also, I heard that you got a haircut. Do we get to see the ace new look of Brad?
