Studying

Today I will be studying and working on my homework assignments, no time to slag off with the end of the quarter being next week! I'm hoping to achieve straight A's again. Seeing this in the front of the school every morning makes me happy and encourages me to do my best everyday! (:

Get It Done

Today is Friday but I don't have school so it's like yesterday was my Friday and I get a four day weekend! I could really use it to go through my usual end of the quarter checklist since second quarter technically ends on the nineteenth for me since that's the last A day. Only two more days left! I did pretty good. I feel safe with what I have in art, photography, and english but the college applications are holding me down in AVID! Sigh, theres always at least one thing to stress me out before grades close. However the rush gives me adrenalin and the urgency to pull it off so I think I will be fine. We'll see though..

I Was Chosen!

Today my name was called during the reaping for the very first time and lucky for me and my house members, I usually write pretty lengthly posts and my blog was up to date. I actually didn't think my name would get picked even though it is in the bin 6 times. The first few draws I was crossing my fingers not to get picked and the more I observed that I hadn't been, I just felt as if I never would. This kind of made me want to be chosen after a while, just to show off my blog. Of course, I wouldn't feel this way if I was really at risk for being chosen to fight for the death in The Hunger Games. I finished the book over winter break and now it's my new favorite. I can't wait to read the rest of the trilogy!

Look Who Stopped By!

Today I got up early to clean up around the house since that's what I have to do on the days I don't have school. It gets pretty tedious but it's my responsibility. :P Luckily, to break from this boring routine, my grandma stopped by. I always love seeing her because she's an amazing person and she always makes me laugh and has tons of stories to tell. Unfortunately she left a little earlier than she planned to because it started to rain and she doesn't like driving in bad weather so she hurried home. She called me when she got home to assure me she was safe. I don't know what I would do without her. <3 (:

Me and my grandma. :)

Greene Turtle Fundraiser

Today, AVID is having a fundraiser at the greene turtle. I wanted to go there for dinner so all of my family could eat there but my dad wasn't getting home until late so we just ordered a pizza and my mom decided she would take me there for dessert. I had never been to the greene turtle before but I had heard mixed reviews about it. I ordered the molten chocolate lava cake and it was pretty good, I only wish it came with some vanilla ice cream but it didn't. :(

The Solution

Today I finally found the solution to how I would apply to five colleges. I think everyone in my class has applied to there schools of choice but since my situation is a little different, I wasn't exactly sure how I would get it done. I am taking a year off after high school to pursue my modeling career full time so at first I thought I was going to apply to the schools of choice for if I do have to go to college in New York but the five forty dollar application fees were a problem since I don't want to pay that much money if I'm not really going there this year. And it would be easier for me to get New York state residency by staying in New York for a year so that I would pay in state tuition since it is much cheaper than out of state tuition. Luckily Mrs. Casele, my guidance counselor, told me about Edu Inc., where I can apply to up to 35 schools for $35. This makes it much easier for me and since the colleges I've selected don't require essays, it'll be a much faster process. I am hoping to finish this before the end of the quarter to boost my grade up to the A I deserve. :)

Ballin'

Today I went to my sister's school basketball game. When we got there, it didn't seem like there were many people in the stands since my mom and I were practically the only ones cheering when my sister's team made a point. There weren't many people cheering on the other team either. It was honestly the quietest, most boring game I had ever been to and to even more disappointment, her team lost. Although it's not all her fault, she was in the game for almost the whole time and she's one of the best shooters so my mom and I asked her what was going on that she couldn't have done better. She says she was tired from playing two other games earlier in the day (which is understandable) but one thing she said surprised us. She says she goes into the game already expecting to lose because apparently the team isn't as good as the one she's used to being on which is completely false. I believe you should go into anything you do with confidence no matter what.
