    It's sort of annoying applying to colleges in the states from here, because schools are not geared towards it at all.

    It would be acceptable to have my teachers fill out the forms from commonapp, sign it, seal it in an envelope and stamp that with the school stamp right? Then send everything together.

    I am a senior this year

    I will be applying to UBC, UW, University of Oregon, and Oregon State, in order of highest to lowest priority.

    I'll be doing the SAT in November, because I missed the October signup.

    Currently only have 4 periods of me being at school, but I'm getting 5 credits. Next Semester I'll be taking at least one course from the community college.

    So my applied studio production class is taught by two men. One is Dr. Ogden and the other is Dr. Forden.

    Dr. Ogden explained to us that in any situation he will never miss a production day. He proceeded to tell us how on two occasions he showed up to a day-long production with food poisoning (afterwards being hospitalized for three days) and another where he came to a day-long production with his appendix bursting (afterwards he was hospitalized for a week). So expectations are rough...

    Dr. Forden likes to throw riddles & puzzles at his students. I had Visual Communication with him. One day he surprised us with a pop quiz where he gave the entire class a choice. We could all use our notes, or we all could speak to each other (so all of us working together) but not have access to our notes. So we chose the second option and he gives us the pop quiz. The class works together until we get to the last question which was an incredibly obscure thing. A girl in the class mentions how if she had access to her notes she would be able to answer it and suddenly Dr. Forden screams, "Ahaha! Now you see! You have chosen poorly! Ahaha Haha!!!"

    I don't know how this will go...

    The pretty ladies vs ugly ladies ratio shifts wildly to the positive side, the work is honest to god work and can be very fulfilling, and it's generally a good time. Just get your shit done, do something every night. Whether it's just setting out headings, structures or securing sources.
