Considering that I have bicycled through snowstorms and ice storms in order to get to work (parents are not cruel, but their cars do break down a lot... well, Mum's does, and Dad's is almost always at work when I have to be), the frighteningness of driving that has loomed over me the past several years is beginning to look a lot less bleak. Plus, you know, a lot of places to work in New England require driving. Like concerts, omg. No-one ever plays in DuBois. EVERYBODY plays in Boston. I have to be there. :D
Re. blood donating, the only information I have thus far is that the hospital doesn't do it directly and they told me to talk to the Red Cross. Apparently the local Red Cross is down the street from my house. I... don't recall ever having noticed it before in my life, but definitely talking to them soon. (Am indeed worried about black market vampire stuff, though.) I think one has to be eighteen -- but maybe you only have to be sixteen? I don't remember, having never done this before, although honestly I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner.
If there isn't anything in DuBois, parents have offered to drive me to Pittsburgh or State College if I find a scientific experiment thing to be in or something of the sort. Which is very nice of them, although they are probably just using me as an excuse for Panera/Trader Joe's/Starbucks.
Re. Harvard, of all of the people I could end up being collegemates with, you would be in the top five. ^-^ And although I am firmly convinced I will never, ever get into Harvard, looking at some of their programmes makes me dizzy with glee. Plus, HARVARD. and BOSTON. and BEAUTIFUL HISTORIC BUILDINGS. Also, have you looked into Emerson (http://www.emerson.edu/) at all? It is my first choice college -- overlooks the Boston common! wholly liberal arts & communications! (...does this mean they have few to no math classes?) really cool programs! build your own major! -- and when I got the first information booklet in the post I actually started crying. The second, more informative one pretty much made me stop being able to talk.
