Senior Year

Hello!

I'm back to post from another hiatus! My summer is incredibly busy and my friend Julia asked me to update the blog, so this post is mostly to tell her what's been going on over the summer. And also to say HAPPY BELATED 17TH BIRTHDAY!!! I didn't forget, I actually had school that week. Our school started a week earlier than all the other school's in conference (August 25th to be exact).

But let me start off telling you about what happened after the end of junior year. I managed to get a job at the Walgreens by my house and I love my coworkers. I have learned to deal with all different kinds of people in all different stages of life. I'm not going into too much detail here because some things shouldn't be said online. I also got my driver's license this summer and barely managed to pass the exam, but the guy I was testing with must have noticed my extreme panic and taken a bit of pity on me. I lost all 25 points you could "play" with, but I have my license, and now I'm so much more relaxed driving all on my own and what not. I still can get terrible anxiety driving, but it's super convenient for me (other than the outrageous price for gas).

I also was selected to go on a trip through my school called the National Adventure Trip, where we took the train out to Colorado and camped, backpacked, and hiked throughout the Rockies. It was an amazing trip and I was completely blown away by the whole scenery! I will type up my journal on a later date to tell you all the details! But we spent a week out there and it was fantastic, despite the fact I had trouble breathing because we were up between 8,000-13,500 feet above sea level. Yes, I climbed a 13,000 some foot mountain and didn't die.

I was actually really depressed after coming home for a week or so. I also strained a lot of muscles and managed to get some micro-tears in my IT band and hip muscles. When tennis season started in August (about three weeks after coming back) I realized that the muscles would tense up while working and try to shift my knee cap, so practically the entire season I've had to wear a borrowed knee brace. This tennis season has been the worst of all of them, and I'm really disappointed because senior year is supposed to be the best year. Oh well.

Otherwise, my schedule for school goes as follows:
A Day:
1. AP Studio Art
2. AP Statistics
3. Graphic Arts
4. Dramatic Literature

B Day:
1. Model United Nations
2. AP Literature
3. Construction & Home Improvement
4. Mandarin Chinese 4

Also...I have some interesting news that may or may not surprise you. My best friend and I have kind of made out, but we don't know if we really want a relationship right now, so it's kind of interesting, but I don't mind. I'm sure, Julia, you can figure out who this is...
To say she has changed is long beneath an understatement. But she's still as amazing as ever. :3
Otherwise, that's mostly my life and if you want to know anymore (Julia), feel free to talk to me whenever! <3

PS: I also forgot to mention that I have an extreme obsession with the show BBC Sherlock and all the actors in it to the point of unhealthiness. Hailey and I also got into the anime Soul Eater, and I'm still getting into Death Note while Hailey is probably completely gone. XD Otherwise, I'm still fangirling over British youtubers and still want to create a youtube channel, but honestly, I don't know what I would talk about. XD
