Oh my god. Today seemed like a normal Saturday in the Wolfess10 household. I got woken up earlier than the first day of summer vacation should allow, ate breakfast, attempted to clean up the basement, and eventually moved towards tackling my bedroom. First shock came when a large spider ran across my bed when I put the clean comforter on. I've been super skittish and jumpy since then, if you could imagine. I searched under my bed to no avail. Now, I have to take all my clean, nicely placed sheets off and fold them, to make sure that the spider did not slip in my bed. You can guess how much I'm enjoy the prospect of that. Guess I'm just procrastinating, oh well.

My second shock came in the mail today. Since 8th grade I've been getting things from colleges, because I took the early ACT test. Naturally, I'm used to receiving mass amounts of college letters and postcards ranging from campus visits to summer programs. On the top of my list have been University of Pennsylvania, Cornell, and Harvard. Yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised when information regarding financial aid from Cornell arrived. Today, the only word to describe my reaction is stunned. Harvard sent me a full application, colored pamphlet, and a 3 page letter explaining their financial aid programs. What am I supposed to do? Any ideas? I am so speechless and overwhelmed. They are handing me a chance on a silver platter, and I want to grab it so badly.
