A wee bit of an update!


So the things that are going on:

My friend just turned 18 which is amazing to me. We've been best friends for 13 years now, and it still feels like we're supposed to still be in middle school. We're becoming adults which is exciting and kinda scary at the same time. After this year, both of us are moving away and moving into a brand new chapter of our lives. I'm worried (just like I worry about every single other thing - ever), but I'm sure everything will be okay.

I finally have the a-okay to get a real job other than babysitting (which is nil to live on). I'm going to be going to a ton of places on Saturday to apply just about anywhere and everywhere I can. Granted, I really don't want to work in food. There are a couple of places that I can apply though that have just been built and are hiring. Thank God for construction in my town!!!

School will be interesting. So, my schedule is on day 1's I have US Government, AP English, French 2, and AP Statistics, and on day 2's I have Choir, Seminar (study hall), Photography, and AP Clay. I absolutely LOVE my day 2's. They are the coolest ever, but I do enjoy the majority of my day 1's, too. Government is really the only class that I kind of have an issue with, and that's because I don't really have anybody in there that I know well enough to band together with. I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT ENGLISH TODAY THOUGH!!!!!! I was actually able to write an ENTIRE ESSAY in 30 minutes!!!!! I finished 20 minutes before we had to, and I was actually somewhat proud of what I wrote because it was a fairly cohesive thought throughout my paper. So, I spent another 10 minutes going over it about 5 times and then I had 10 minutes of free time. That was the coolest ever. Granted, the essay was very short, but I have never written that fast or somewhat well at the same time. It was absolutely amazing. LOVE IT! AND!!!! In French class, we have this new teacher and I think the entire class time, she spoke MAYBE about 3 phrases in English, and I UNDERSTOOD ALMOST EVERYTHING!!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I am actually learning!!! It's totally mind blowing. AP Statistics is strange. It's easy and really hard at the same time. Right now it feels like I'm taking another English class because all of the questions have essay answers, and all our teacher is doing is reading out of the book to us for our notes. A lot of it, we just have to figure out for ourselves, but there really is no way of teaching some of the stuff in there. Like, one example is figuring out if there is a bias or not on a radio station survey where people call in for their answers. Seems pretty fair right? Well, there could be a bias because the radio station itself could be a 80's rock station that the majority of their listeners are around 40 years old and if their asking about whether or not the the age to get your drivers license should be raised then 40 year olds won't really care. So, yeah, that's the kind of stuff we're learning in there right now.

So, I think I've rambled on long enough....
