Organizing self for upcoming stresses

keykUgh, stinky college apps. I'm going to apply for early action for Chapman U, and then I'll have to get to a bunch of UCs and CSUs. That means I need to uppity my SAT scores with the forthcoming October SAT. I might decide not to do early action if my SAT score is too low and/or my counselor decides I need to retake an SAT II (they're all in the 600s range except for bio, which is in the 700s, but still not quite high enough). As for my major, I...think I've decided on biopsych, behavioral neurology, psychobio--whatever term they use for it. There's a chance I can get to work at an aquarium, so I'm really hoping I can do that on the side when I've worked in the field long enough. *__*; I'm still a bit iffy on becoming a researcher since that requires that I teach and make my own projects, and I'm not too comfortable on the whole being a leader thing quite yet.
The economy is really taking a bite out of us prospective college students. They're going to be a lot pickier (witnessed that last year, geez). I've also heard that they're going to cut down on the amount of Asians being accepted since the percentage of Asians compared to other ethnic groups is much too high...and I'm Asian. DX I also need to apply for financial aid and all that jazz. Then the essays. Geez, so much paper work. :/ I need to schedule some time to visit Chapman U (and research it more while I'm at it, yeesh, I really haven't progressed much)...I'd really love to go there.
I'm also going to apply for Ryman's spring semester. I just need to develop a better foundation with which to build off of and learn how to look at things the way I should be. Problem is, I don't have an art teacher, so I don't know how I'll go around that part of the app. I'll see what my school's art teachers'll say. I sure hope I get in though, since I need to submit artwork from observation along with the app itself (and a mini essay, too). ;__; *SCARED* Ah, time...where have you gone.
EDIT: My parents sometimes.
And here I thought I was finally getting out of the episode.
EDIT: Yay, crayon coloring. Work? ...Whoops.
I really need to stop getting riled up before I do my work. :/
