week 12

Writer's picture: Daniel LDaniel L

hi! very quickly we are going to post some quick thoughts since the last time i blogged was 16 days ago


it feels like every time i do something that (may or may not be productive) is not collegeapps, i feel like instantly guilty which is quite suboptimal because it makes me just less productive overall tbh


oh also i got sick on 29 sept so i havent swam since then


1-college applications

i might be cooked because i have like 3 ideas for my ps but i only have one of them written out yet

and i also realised that for some schools that don't have that many supplementals, if there is not a supplemental for which i can properly write about racing, then the personal statement is the only place where i can convey my fandom to them which is kind of sad tbh. which means one of the candidates to be my ps will just be cooked so im trying to like gain more experience by editing and rewriting that one so i can pick the good parts to append to the other ideas that i have when i actually write them (hopefully today or tomorrow at the very least)


anyways umm wau wild idk what to say about this. first deadline is in 5 days so we might be cooked! hahahahahaha


also like tamu doesn't want the commonapp essay but instead has a 750 word challenges essay which i think i can use the first idea on so that might be a silver lining !!!


having friends who give honest edits on essays is so cool and genuinely nice :)


2-competitive stem olympiads

nothing because collegeapps rip


3-formula 1

we love a good autumn break so also nothing


4-other motorsports

there's just a break now kinda cooked but its also kinda nice bc i get to lock in before the hectic endofseason period begins oct 18


its also kinda fire that this autumn break gave me the motivation to delete instagram. honestly a w decision


5-other sports

soooo fucking spurs blew a 2-0 lead hahaha. typical. but its okay i do that too and i resonate with them and thats why i love them </3


either way international breaks are interesting and kind of cool tbh. also it might be cooked for man utd i kind of want ten hag to do well bc i feel bad for him :/


in terms of swimming not much but i did complete my first 100 yd on 27 sept lmao but havent swam since. im so washedddd


6-gaming

not rly that much except for like two games ig

soccer manager: promoted from scottish league 2 as champions, scottish cup quaterfinalist, scottish league cup round of 8

monoposto:

unlocked imola monaco and monza bc i thought monza was funny and it is rly fun to race on hahaha but yeah im able to consistently win las vegas daily now and on most tracks im top 5 level. except brazil like wtf is the elevation in the circuit model bro ew


7-school stuffs

meh my grades are ok and school's been fine tbh

sciclub has been fine ig we have acutally good retention i think

tryouts have been dealt with, at least the written tests

ive lost like 90% of my quizbol skill unfortunately


8-science bowl

so icsbt happened and honestly even though it wasn't a great experience i really felt lucky that i got to play against 4 good teams in the 5 matches. cause like msj tj av blair are all like extremely respectable teams and im happy that i was able to consistently score 24+ every round (except for av oops cooked)

i think i had terrible physics ppg bc i got like 1, 3, and 1/0 overall which is like terrible; 5.33 ppg? maybe which equals my aves ppg even though aves was a lot easier and i felt i was doing a lot better. this just shows the disproportionate effect of negs on ppg like help

also like if my phys is 5.33 and if my overall is 25.3 or something. WHERE IS THE OTHER 20 COMING FROM 💀💀💀

also paperwork progress on bsb has been very slow and idk whats going on with that stuff anymore


9-science olympiad

bro i took the astro and optics test lmao and i really shouldn't be talking about it here bc some people havent taken it


but i must say for my first ever scioly astro test i think i did fine i just dk if its gonna be fine enough to beat the people who actually prepared LMFAOO

and for my first optics test in 6 months and for doing it without a binder/cheatsheet/whatever and having to derive thin lens equation on the spot, i think that was fine too HAHAHA


10-music

i love treacherous

i love red og

i love minnz piano


11-misc

okay wait i have 9 minutes to lock in on editing my essay lmao i shall now go


byebye :) see you after the oct 15 deadline haha


OH ALSO SMH IS HAPPENING IN TWO DAYS. IM SO HYPED I FEEL LIKE A COMPETITOR AND NOT A TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR BECAUSE SUZUKO AND CONNOR HAVE BEEN GOATS WHO HAVE DONE SO MUCH WORK ON THEIR OWN 🙏🙏may the best team win
