Greece plays Argentina on Tuesday. If they beat Argentina they move on to the next round. If they draw with Argentina and Nigeria beats South Korea then Greece moves on. If they draw with Argentina and Nigeria draws with South Korea it will come down to who has had the most goals scored on them.
Germany isn't playing till wednesday
What will I do with my life?
USA vs. Slovenia
Really? Really? Why do you do these things. (At least the officiating was better than Germany vs. Serbia)

I got so excited about drinking Seltzer without my hands that I drank it all. That was the last beverage I had in my room.
THE PLOT THICKENS.

I beg to differ, seltzer is where it is at.
refrigerator asked: I APPROVE OF POCKETS.

CMU
I have officially submitted the first part of my application, written my essay, sent my teachers the info for recs, requested my school to send my transcript, and sent my SAT scores. All that remains is to write the activities resume and mail it all in. Wish me luck.

I didn’t do as well as I would have liked but my parents say I can’t retake it. On the bright side I totally pwned the essay (THANK YOU JIM BARRON + LATIN HISTORY).
the classics department is single handedly getting me into college.

COOKIES
Eli and I made >200 cookies today. We mailed about 60 to one person. I gave about 50 to my father to take to work. This leaves us with about 90. What the hell do we do with 90 cookies?

Although… I’m pretty sure the brand runs small because I am usually a 4/6) and my “many girls have bought this” sense is tingling (perhaps because the website only has 2 sizes left?).

I just took the nicest shower ever. Today is a good day. I think I may have lost my cell phone which makes planning to hang out with friends difficult. People should go on the internets so I can make plans with them.
Columbia
I got home from visiting Columbia and it was super nice. It probably helps that I was staying with Moses who is just very cool in general (he taught me how to do a proof by induction). He thinks I should do CS which now has me thinking again about whether or not I really like that. It was a very successful college visit and it was great to see how happy Eli is about going there next year.
