Well, that's enough college letters for one night.

When you start to decide against colleges based on their names, you know you've had enough for a while. It was interesting though, I've worked out a process to choose the colleges I'm going to apply for. It's pretty simple: first, I'll read through all of their mailings and weed out the one's that don't sound good or don't offer what I'm looking for - computer science and Japanese or Arabic to start with. Second, I research the most likely candidates online and see what some other people have to say about them. If there's a third, I'll work it out when I get there. Fortunately I'm nearly done with phase one, as my senior year is approaching fast, and my mind needs to be made up by a couple months from now.

Thinking of deadlines, tomorrow I should start shoveling through fastweb for some scholarships to apply to, I'm sure that will be interesting.

On another note, my family came back today, and it hasn't been as bad as I thougth it would be. I haven't heard any of the young ones fighting, and the brothers have taken all the computers, but that's only to be expected. Hopefully the lack of fighting wasn't just because I locked myself in my room to read college papers and didn't hear them.
