First, thank you for all the nice comments and b-day wishes for my Dad. The party and jeu de piste went super well and were a lot of fun! As for my Dad, he has been wanting to say he was 80 for 5 years, so now he’s pretty happy he is finally allowed to officially say it ;-) !

Not back yet on Tumblr nor to simming, am just popping in quickly because I wanna try and post at least once per month ^^ So here, for November, ‘oldies’ from 2-3 y. ago, that I don’t think I’ve posted anywhere before…

These are uni buildings from my student-centric French town: Courouiquenne-les-Flots (inspired by la Côte d’Azur in Southeast France) where I also set up my boarding schools. I play (or, well, ‘played’ as it has been a while) the university, using Rachel’s Sims 2 Majors and Zerbu’s Ultimate Career mod. And it was super fun except I remember everyone kept changing their outfits in the middle of class (which, mind you, was actually quite funny :-D) !

Hey guys I'll be gone until Wednesday!

[letsbe-recklesstogether-blog]

Thank you to the boy who made me realize how lucky I am to be alive.

Thank you to the boy who made me realize I deserve more than C.M. Thank you to the boy who showed me what love and friendship truly means. Thank you. You've changed my life.

Word of the day: disappointed.

Others: torn, broken, upset, pissed, hurt. I really really really wanted this. I'm trying to make the right choice, but it's hard to tell which one is right. Should I choose the one that would look better on my college application? Or should I choose the one that will make me happier than ever before if I get in? Well, too late.

Tumblr I need to make a decision.

Last year, I applied for something called Unitown. Here's an overview of what that is:

Unitown’s weeklong leadership retreat provides student delegates the opportunity to cross barriers that often divide them in their schools and to have honest and open dialogue about stereotypes and biases related to race, class, gender, sexual orientation and other traits that differentiate people from one another. Unitown empowers students to form strong relationships with peers from all backgrounds and to eliminate prejudice, bias and inequalities found in their school and community. Student delegates then bring this information back to the school to share with others.

EVERYBODY who has gone says it's absolutely fantastic and amazing and that it's basically earth shattering. I thought it sounded really awesome and I wanted to go. However, I also wanted to do regionals (honor band).

I applied for Unitown and was accepted, so all is well. Then I auditioned for regionals after working my ass off and I made it as a sophomore, which is really awesome. Except the rehearsals/festival were over the same weekend as Unitown (Unitown was from Friday-Wednesday and regionals was Friday/Saturday).

Since I had actually put in work for regionals and the audition was harder than the application, I backed out of Unitown last year and did regionals instead. I mean the way I looked at it, to the person judging my playing I was just an ID number, but to the people who interviewed me I was actually a person who had other circumstances going on.

I had a really great time at regionals. So I decided I was going to audition again this year, figuring that the dates wouldn't coincide. Except as my luck would have it, once again, they do.

This year I would drop it and say "I'm doing Unitown," except I got some other people to decide to try out with me because a) I had already been to regionals and b) I was the only one who would have been going back... so I have people who are expecting me to go and try out with them and then go to regionals and blah blah.

Herein lies the problem. If I turn regionals down, I feel like I'm letting people down. If I turn Unitown down, I'm missing a great experience that I already turned down once before, and it's not as likely that I'll get to go my senior year.

What I'm thinking I'll do is this. It's too late to cancel my regionals audition and get my money back, so I'll go ahead and audition, and then whether I make it or not, turn it down. The only thing is it'll make me feel like a shitty person :|

What should I do?
