Colleges and Sleeping Habits

Its 2:55am right now and the rest of the family are already sound asleep in bed. I just woke up a few minutes ago, starting my day at night. I feel very much like a nocturnal animal, waking up after everyone as fallen alseep, foraging in the night and rummaging for food (in the fridge). This feeling is quite exciting, even though I though I am pretty much still half asleep.
Anyways, I wanted to talk about my day. We had 3 topped ranked school come over for college fair in PAS: UChicago, Rice and Vanderbilt. All of those school are prestigious and as they had explicitly stated, selective. I was really nice that they could come over and give us some background to the colleges. After attending a few college fairs, I'm starting to get a better understanding of the differences of each school, but each time, I would come back feeling that I learned something new. 
Later that day, I went with Alyson to an interview with University of Southern California in Taipei. (The traveling was very exhaustive and time-consumering, but we had good time nonetheless.) This was my first college interview and I was pretty nervous. Thankfully, it was a group interview, so I had a chance to listen to different point of views and get some time to think over my response. I thought it was a great experience. One thing I think I gained from the interveiw was that it got me thinking about some questions about myself and my goals in the future.
