Helloooo, Summer!!

I am alive!! Haha.. My sister informed me today that I need to blog..I've been slacking. I definitely have been. I just looked at my last post from before AP exams.. dang. So I guess I'll start there. I survived. Ha. I feel okay about both of my exams but who really knows. I think the multiple choice went much better than the essays...they drain you. Onto more pleasant things...school is out! And do you know what that means? Yes, you are correct. That means that we are ... SENIORS!!! Craziness. It still seems so surreal. My friend and I were talking today about how it still hasn't clicked and we were like well maybe it'll kick in when we put on the cap and gown for yearbook pictures this week..but then we decided we'll probably just feel like we're playing dress up haha. I don't know..we'll see. My appointment for my drape and cap & gown pictures are Thursday. Friday I have an appointment to cut my hair. And Saturday I am taking pictures with my photographer/sister and brother-in-law/employer haha. I am pretty siked about the end of this week. Just hoping that I like my hair when I cut it...lol.
Umm...I don't think I mentioned before that I will be doing the HOSA program at school next year. I'll be going to Shands 3 days per week and at the end of the year, if I pass the test, I will get my CNA license. I'll also get some college credit for a class or two. Hopefully working in the hospital will give me a better idea of what I want to do in the medical field. As my teacher puts it, it's like shopping in a candy store haha. Bless her heart. Ha.
Which leads me to my current college outlook. My top two choices right now are UF and Emory. I plan on visiting both of them at some point this summer. I got a packet in the mail a couple weeks ago from a little place called Harvard. It included a three page letter telling me why I should apply there and an application. WHAT?! SERIOUSLY?! Really. I didn't request that application. Btw, it wasn't like a few pages...it was a bloomin' BOOK!! Yeah. So that was exciting..haha.
What else is going on? I need a job. The search isn't going so well so if you hear of anything let me know lol. I went two weeks ago and filled out TEN applications and never got a call back haha.
I can't think of anything else so..
Oh, I think I'm about to put my blog on private, so let me know your email address so I can add you to my readers list if I like you. Lol jk...kind of. Ha.

The End is Near...

Well, today was the first day of school after Christmas break and we are a few days from the end of the first semester. It hit me today - I'm halfway through my junior year of high school! AHHHH!!!! Lol. It's crazy to think that at this time next year I will be making definite decisions about college. Crazy. It's so good to know that I'm not the one making these decisions because if I was I would make a mess of them. It's never been more real to me than now that God has a plan for my life and it is so much better than mine. Right now, MY tentative plan is to go to UF for Radiology...possibly...I don't really know but that's the idea today. Like I said, God's plans are always better.
I did have some good news today about my current schoolwork. I made an A on both of my AP midterms!! This may not seem very exciting to you or I know a person or two who would tell me that they knew I would pull it out and shouldn't have been worrying about it but I was definitely stressing. All I can say is...thank goodness for college curves. Anyways, hopefully this will pull my average in both of those classes back up to an A. YAY!
Also, yesterday in the mail I got something exciting. It's not unusual for Mom to bring in a few letters from colleges each day but yesterday there was one from a different "League"...Harvard. I opened it to find a letter congratulating me for my high PSAT scores and inviting me to attend their summer school. I haven't received my scores yet for the PSAT/NMSQT (National Merit Scholars Qualifying Test) so I don't know what I made but I guess they're alright for Harvard to have noticed. Haha. Hopefully those scores will be high enough that I will go through the semi-finalist and finalist processes to become a National Merit Scholar, which basically guarantees most colleges' acceptance and WONDERFUL financial packages.
Soo...all in all..I'm excited about finding out what the next few years hold. I know it's gonna go by really fast.
