Stressing out...

So, I have an important test in algebra coming up next hour, and I'm freaking out.  I didn't study and it's the last test before our final, which is next week.  I have a draft due for my newspaper final today, and it's only half way done.  Then, I have back-to-back soccer games today and tomorrow.  All I can say is, the weekend cannot, and I repeat, CANNOT, come fast enough.  Geez.

Thoughts on Memorial Day

This past weekend, I think a lot of people sometimes just think of it as an extra day off of school, but it's so much more than that.  Memorial Day here in the U.S. is a day to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to keep our country safe.  I know that sounds super overused, but I really genuinely mean that.  There are families all over the nation who have lost husbands, sons, fathers, and other loved ones to the horrors of war.  Even after the actual day of Memorial Day, take a minute to remember those who have lost their lives to protet yours.

Just so you know

I think a lot of people misunderstand what a nerd actually is.  Zachary Levi from Chuck once said, "Being a nerd doesn't mean you're weird.  It just means you're passionate about something."  That the perfect definition of a nerd.  Even though I'm the classic nerd that is passionate about academics, you can be a video game nerd, a cheerleading nerd, a tech nerd, or anything else that you love to do.  Don't be ashamed of being nerd, and the next time someone calls you a nerd, just say, "No, actually Chloe says that I'm just a passionate individual." ;)

A note to my readers...

To anyone and everyone who takes the time to read my blog, thank you so much.  This is the first time I've ever done something like this, and it's a lot of fun.  I'm gonna try to keep blogging as much as I can and not bore you TOO much haha!  Thanks again!

Soccer 2

So, today was my second day of soccer practice. I got really tired really fast because it's been so long since I've really exercised like that. It's hard to get in shape when you're so out of it haha! Now, I'm sitting here at my dinner table and I can't remember the last time so many of muscles hurt like this. I need a hot bath and some Epsom salt right now. Like NOW. Sincerely, A Sore, Out of Shape, Self-Proclaimed Nerd

I cannot wait until summer

Lord have mercy, I CANNOT wait until the last day of school. I have so many things to study for and so many projects to finish. I have 2 stories I still need to write for newspaper too. Grr. My life...but anyway, I got my scores back for the PLAN test (practice ACT) today and I did pretty good. That was a high point of my day, and hopefully that's a good sign that I'll do well on the real ACT too! Sincerely, A Test-Taking Self-Proclaimed Nerd who is ready for summer!

Quote of the Day #10

"Baby, you light up my world like nobody else.  The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed, but when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell, you don't know.  Oh-oh.  You don't know you're beautiful, oh-oh, and that's what makes you beautiful."

I don't like algebra

Algebra is such a bum.  I would say the other b-word, but I don't cuss so...yeah.  We're learning about properties of logarithms, and I'm feeling an F on a quiz coming on.  The final exam for that class is in like a week and a half and I haven't started studying yet. -_-  Oh, my life.  The struggle is so real.

Soccer

Soo, I finally got my physical from the doctor yesterday, and he said that I should be fine to play soccer.  The season is unfortunately about halfway done, and I was not gonna play, but I missed it too much.  I played last year and had such a good time.  So now it's gonna be a race to get in the best shape that I can so I can get out on the field.  I'm super excited but i also gotta get ready for lots of ice and epsom salt because the sore muscles are coming!

Finals are coming...

I am freaking out because finals are in like 10 days and I really haven't started studying yet.  I really need to study for my algebra and chemistry finals, and I have 2 projects due at the end of the month.  The struggle is real.

My newspaper class

So...it's official. My newspaper class is crazy. Today, our editor-in-chief got a cup of water and splashed it all over our adviser's legs. He then proceeded to splash water all over everyone else too. People ended up in several different alliances with people running down the hallway, hiding under tables, laughing hysterically, or a combo of several of those things. It was hilarious to say the least. As crazy as we are, we're kind of like a family. All of us students act like crazy siblings, and our adviser is our crazy momma haha. And we make a pretty good newspaper too, if I must say so myself. ;)

French

My friends always look at me like I'm a nerd when I say this (and I am a nerd, so they're pretty accurate haha), but I really love French!  I know that this is random, but I really don't care.  There's just something about the language that is so fascinating to me.  I've only been taking French in school for almost 2 years now, but this year especially, I've come to really enjoy the language and the class.  I'm even getting kinda sorta a tiny wee bit good at speaking it! :)  Well, that is all.  I just wanted to express my very nerdy love for a beautiful language.  Au revoir for now!

So excited!

I've really been struggling lately in algebra just to keep up with my grade and pass my tests with a grade better than a D.  Today, when my teacher passed back 4 different quizzes/assignments, and I got 3 A's and 1 B!!!  I was so excited, and hopefully we can keep this flow rolling.  It feels so good to ace a quiz (you just don't know)!

Sincerely,
A Self-Proclaimed Nerd who is feeling especially nerdy today ;)

I just realized that my last post was titled "Quote of the Day (Part 2)", but I actually posted it at 12:15 am! I just wanted to start the day (literally) with something to think about. Yeah, that was my plan all along. ;)

Guess what?!?

I totally forgot to blog about this last week, but last Friday, my choir teacher told me that I made it into varsity choir!!!  I've been in beginner's choir all year, and I've been working hard to improve my vocal performance and everything.  I had to audition too, and I don't think my audition went THAT great, but I guess I did well enough to get in.  People in varsity choir get to travel all over the place for festivals and concerts and stuff.  I'm super excited.

THE AVENGERS!!!

My mind is blown.

That was one of the most amazing action movies I've seen in a long time.  There were so many times during the movie where I was just like, "They are SO sweet!  Oh my gosh!"  I'm glad that there weren't that many people in the theater because I would've embarrassed myself from all the freaking out I was doing.  It's the type of movie that had so much action that I could go see it a second time and enjoy it just as much as the first time.

If you haven't seen the movie yet, go see it.  Right now.  Like, drop what you're doing and go see it.  You won't regret it, I promise.

I'm a terrible actor...

In my newspaper class, we're making an end-of -the-year video parody of a matchmaking show, kinda like The Bachelor or whatever.  Everyone else is having so much fun making it, but I'm so incredibly awkward on screen...it's kinda ridiculous haha.  I'm definitely not good at playing a love interest.  Geez.  I think I might be one of the first people to get eliminated off of this show. ;)

Deep thoughts...

Today was just one of those days where I came home, sat on the couch, and thought about life.  I just re-realized how thankful I am for a great family, super-crazy-awesome friends, and an incredible God who loves me more than anyone else in the world ever could.  Wow...

Take a second to be grateful for what you have.

A big thank you...

I have noticed that I have been getting a steady amount of views from Germany and Russia, and I think that's so exciting!  To any Germans or Russians out there who read my blog, thank you SO much!  It makes me so happy, and I'm gonna try to blog more often to keep you entertained with my nerdy life haha!  Thanks again!

Life is good...

Sooo, I don't really have anything exciting going on in my life right now, but I'm watching my friend be an awkward turtle.  That's her life story ( and i'm saying that in the best possible way haha).  Go check out her blog Tales of a High School Bookworm and Drama Geek!!!  She's gonna be a super famous blogger soon, I promise.  Tell her I sent you!

Anyway, this nerd is struggling with algebra and I hate it and I even have a good teacher, but I just don't get it.  My life is a dark abyss, surrounded by the chains of mathematics.  Shoutout to my friend Sassy Blue Spots for that amazing quote about my terrible love life with math.  We have a love-hate relationship...or maybe just hate-hate relationship. ;)  The struggle is REAL!
