I cannot get enough of the Stephanie Plum novels by Janet Evanovich. So funny!!
I'm on Hot Six.  =]

I'm a SEN10R this year!! Almost there!!! =]
I have so much to do; between senior project, dance, key club, student council, pharmacy internship, and life it's already crazy.. and I've only been in school for 11 days.

Homecoming is in 2 weeks, and we have so much to do!
Dance, pep rally/ spirit week, powderpuff game, and the bonfire. SO BUSY!
Key club's just started, first real meeting Tuesday. Not too busy there at least. =]
Dance is starting tomorrow! Pretty excited about that one!! I haven't danced since.. June? I'm ready to go back.
Trying to think up some ideas for a senior project. Maybe working with kids at the local SACC and teaching them dance, then having them perform for their parents. Maybe volunteering at a soup kitchen. Maybe tutoring at the local elementary school. Maybe volunteering to chill with old folks at a nursing home.
I have no idea what to do...
Then there's the senior research paper.. I don't want to talk about that one, we haven't started it yet.
Pre Calculus is insanely hard! But, I do have an incredible teacher.
The internship in the retail pharmacy is great! I can't do anything without my technicians license yet but, ill be sending in for it soon. Then I can count pills and everything else!
Life.. it's okay. =P

to finish New Moon!!

It was a terrible book in my opinion.

End of discussion..

There's this place in town called Fair Share. It's pretty much and organic/ earthy store/ grocery place. If you get my drift? Well.. They have this stuff called POP Soda. It's really good! It seems to be pretty healthy as far as the nutrition facts go, but it isn't all organic or anything. I would have to suggest the Lemon Lavender with Ginger, or even the Citrus Hibiscus, but the lemon lavender is far better. =]

I took the official SAT's today. My rear still hurts from sitting for 4 hours facing a wall. It wasn't even all that bad, well we will see if it was when I get my score. haha.

After the testing was over, us juniors had the opportunity to stay for a drawing for 40 $250 scholarships. I figured I didn't have anything to lose so I got a ticket. And... drum roll please... I was the second to last person drawn! =] All it will buy me is a book or two but heck, it's at least one thing I don't have to pay for.

I have a confession.. my room is trashed. haha.
I haven't 'officially' unpacked my suitcase from vacation, it's just kinda sitting there with things falling out of it when I need something. Hopefully I will be able to fix it tomorrow.

I also desperately need to wash my car, it is filthy and I want to put a Ron Jon bumper sicker on it.

Well.. that's really all that's going on in my life at the moment. I will try to keep up with this as best I can, I've been very busy and I still am.

I am almost done with the book Twilight, which I absolutely love!
So.. I just bought New Moon. I am sure it will be just as swell. =]

Hope all is well.

I don't have any idea what I want to do.

Architecture::
    Do I really want that for my life?

Interior design::
    Is there even anything out there for me there?

Dance::
   Already figured that one out ... NO.

Medical field::
   Maybe a pharmacist?
   That wouldn't be too bad right??

Oh well. I will figure something out someday. =]

Which new friendship formed in 2008 is the most special to you? How did that person come into your life?

Well .. I made a few new friendships this past year so it's hard to choose which is the most special.
Of course my friendship with Chris and Ryan grew a lot, even though one fell a bit he and I will still always be friends.
I have come to be friends with the foreign exchange student with crazy hair. HaHa. We call him T and he is VERRYYY fun to just hang out with and talk to. Now THAT is one person I will never forget.
My friendship with my best friend Erika has changed a bit because of certain circumstances, but I still love her and we will always be like sisters.

The most special friendships this year have been the ones that have grown and have gone through thick and thin. It makes you a stronger person and your bond to the other gets much greater.

It's incredible some of the things that change sometimes...

My newest music obsession::
   Patty Griffin.

Especially her song 'Poor Man's House.'
At the studio we are doing a dance to it and I absolutely love it!

That song is hard to find but it IS on iTunes so go get it!!

I have NOT been on here in a while! It's a bit sad. =[
I missed writing my thoughts, it really does help, so I figured I would give a little update on what has been going on.
Also, I updated my information thing so check it out!

Well, I read my other entry things and I forgot about half of that stuff. The art show? I can't wait! And my license? I got it on the first try! Not to mention the first day of school ... hehe.

So .. How about that election 'eh? I have to be honest, I'm very worried.
I am NOT a fan of Obama, but I will respect him as our president. Actually, I have a rant ..
You know what really p's me off? People saying crap about Bush. So what, he made a few mistakes? Look at everything that has been thrown his way! Yeah, Clinton did fine, but what the hell did he have to handle? A huge number of deaths in the Twin Towers? No. Seriously, he handled it pretty well. I have to say I'd rather not be having a billion more die over here than there. And, he's our frickin president!! He is like .. running this place right? Would you do all that to your boss? No, I highly doubt it. It's ridiculous, get a life.
I feel safer with Bush than Obama, sorry but I do. I wish things turned out different but as long as he is our president I will have respect for the man, but probably not half of his ideas and opinions.
That's all on the election! haha..

Tonight I saw the movie 'Seven Pounds' with my dad. I have always been a huge fan of Will Smith, I mean the guy is nice off screen and on! And he is sooooo great in every movie he has been in.
Gosh, I cried my eyes out. It's sooo intense, everyone has to see it. I mean he is doing a great thing because he did something bad, but it's still sad because of what happens. AH! I don't want to give it away ..
Just go see it, okay?

Christmas was great!
Well, I had the flu.. and then strep.. but i'm all better now. =]
It made for a hard Christmas for me when I was in pain opening presents in the morning, but then I was all drugged up on dayquil and advil so I didn't hurt .. but I wasn't really there.
Oh well, at least I still have New Years tomorrow!

Anyways, I got tons of great things. And I feel like what I gave people really liked.
Like, I made my brother a mirror in Graphics, and since a few came out kinda bad I got to have one too, although it isn't as good.
I got 2 iTunes cards (THANK YOU WENDY AND MOM AND DAD!! =]) which make for an easier and much cheaper way to get music. Also Wendy, my car cleaning things work great! And my car smells fruity. =] =]
 I got this great hippie bag from my brother, I absolutely LOVE it! It's green and everything!!
And then my dad got me jumper cables to keep in my trunk, which makes me feel much safer in case my car dies.
I could go on and on but I love everything!! =]

And .. It's about 11: 30 now so I'm thinking it's time for me to go catch up on my book and then hit the sheets.
Have a great New Year's Eve and Day everyone!!!

I'm sure that I am not the only one out there who is addicted to the Sims 2.
But, I am definitely a huge fan of anyone who is!
The part that I love is designing homes and creating crazy families. I'm not so much a fan of running people's lives, but I like making the place that they live. Whenever I see a cool house while i'm riding in the car, I have to immediately try to design what it might look like on the inside, that's just how my brain works.

Future architect? MAYBE!

=) =)

It's the end of the school year and everyone is getting rather antsy for it to be OVER.
