Counting down

A week from now I will be done with both of my AP exams. "Holllla!!!!" LOL. Until then my teachers are in freak out mode trying to cram all this last minute test prep into our heads. I really don't understand how an English teacher can do basically nothing all year but then a week before the AP test decide writing tons of essays is going to prepare us for it. Sure.
I am so ready for summer!! I can't wait to get out of school. I'm ready for youth camp and the one time I'll go to the beach all summer and ... VBS? We signed up to teach first and second grade music..think we may have had a moment of temporary insanity haha. Anyways, I also kind of need to get a job this summer soo..if anybody hears of anything let me know lol.. Btw I prefer to stay away from the fast food industry haha..

A letter...

My guidance counselor found me today to give me a letter. He held it out to me and I saw that the return address said ... National Merit Scholarship Corporation. Yeahhh. It took me a second then I went..."Oooh!" Haha. I made it into the first round of the competition to become a National Merit Scholar which means I'm in the top 50,000 that took the test this year. Therefore, I'm eligible for their recommendation program in which I choose two universities for NMSC to contact with my information and encourage them to contact me about attending there. The problem with this being I actually have to choose two. Haha. Anyways, in the fall they'll cut that 50,000 to 16,000 who will become semi-finalists. If I make that, awesome. If not, it's still pretty good to be a "Commended Scholar". So that was my excitement for the day. Lol.

College here I come!!

We got our forms to choose classes for Dual Enrollment next year! Yay!! I'll get out of school after third period one semester and after second semester the next then I'll go to college for two or three classes. I'm excited about getting out of school early haha..

Everything's going...

It's been a while since I've posted anything...I'm beginning to start every post that way...that can't be a good thing. Anyways, school is...going. Still waiting on the bull dozer for the English teacher. She promised us plenty of essays between now and AP tests in May. The good thing is that after May 8 I'm not going to be doing much of anything at school besides in my Precalc class. We'll also be having officer elections for Beta and NHS over the next weeks. Me and a couple of my friends will probably by officers for one or both...so that's one more thing to do next year. It'll look good on the college application. We finalized our schedules for next year. Seniors got their cap and gowns this week...we'll be doing that in a year!! Craziness.
On a side note, I am completely addicted to NCIS. I totally want to be Abby when I grow up. Bahaha. Except the black hair and spider web tattoo, of course. Ha.

Kisses and Disses

It's been a while since I've posted because nothing too exciting is going on so...
Disses:
*AP English Literature. GAHHH. And that's all I've got to say about that.
*Rain. Ughhhh...I am soo tired of this weather.

Kisses:

*SPRING BREAK!!! Yes, it started at today at 3:25. YAY.
*Cookie brownies. Oh yeah. A layer of cookie on the bottom with a layer of brownie on top. And a large glass of milk. Evil, yes, but ridiculously good.

Some words of wisdom

Just a quick note to share some profound words of wisdom with you. I'm on this little mission to drink more water because we're going through a nutrition unit in my Medical Skills class and water's supposed to speed up your metabolism and help clear skin and, let's face it, I'm all about that. Anyways, I'm up to 3 Trek bottles of water today and did you know that the more water you drink the more you have to pee? Profound, yes I know.

You take pictures of vocal chords?

In case you didn't know, I helped Chris shoot a wedding this weekend. It was so much fun! It was very stressful and I was very sore afterwards but it was awesome. Chris asked at the end if I was willing to shoot another one in a month or two and I was pretty quick to answer yes. It was just so cool to get to capture such a big day in two people's lives and know that they would look at those pictures for the rest of their lives...and I took some of them!
Throughout the day Satuday and then Sunday at church I got asked I don't know how many times, "So is this what you want to do? Do you want to be a professional photographer?" And my answer was...I don't know. Haha. Go figure, isn't that my answer to everything in life? It did get me thinking about it though. I really wouldn't mind pursuing photography. If for nothing else I think it will always be a hobby. I would really like to minor in Photography in college. I would rather major in something more "stable". Lol I guess that's a product of graduating during a recession. Anyways, wouldn't that be a diploma? Major in Communication Sciences and Disorders (my major of the week haha) with a minor in Photography. Haha. Whatever works I guess. The problem with this being, however, that like no college offers that combination. No minors in photography. So....we're back to square one.
By the way, you should go check out the sneak peek for the wedding.
And I ramble. Yes, I know.
