Bonjour! (My ATTEMPT at writing in French)

I really like French, and I just feel like writing a post in French, so here we go!  (I'm warning you, I don't really know more than basic conversational French haha.)

Alors, j'adore la francais et j'ai veux ecrire de la francais.  J'adore aussi ma famille, la musique et le chocolat. D'accord, c'est tout.  Au revoir!

Told you it would be basic!  I really do love the French language, though, and one day I'll be a fluent speaker and writer.  Until then, you have this to hold you over! :)

My first job!

Hi to everyone who may read this.  Let me just start off by saying that anyone and everyone who reads my blog is amazing.  My hope is that I can be at least a little bit entertaining, and I really do appreciate you.

Now, onto the exciting news.  I'm starting my first job tomorrow!!!  I'm going to be working at a daycare as an assistant, and it will be cool to get some experience with work and practice managing my money.  I'll be working for 6 hours a day (which sounds like a lot, but I know it's just kinda life), and I'm really pumped to get started.  It's just a little hard to not be totally free during the summer, but I think it will be worth it.  Plus, it's nice to do something truly productive with my summer.  I'll try to keep you posted on any developments!

Sincerely,
An Excited, Self-Proclaimed Nerd

Quote of the Day #12

"If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write something worth reading or do things worth writing." - Benjamin Franklin I think this is a pretty cool philosophy about life. Just saying.

Quote of the Day #11

"God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing." - C.S. Lewis I like C.S. Lewis a lot. He wrote The Chronicles of Narnia, some of my favorite books of all time. He wrote them for children, but anyone can read them and enjoy them. If you've never read them...well...you're missing out, my friend!

So sorry!

I hate that I haven't been posting lately, but I promise I'm going to try harder to blog more often. Especially now that I am out of school, I have no excuse, right? Here's some good news: I'm about to get my first job! This whole school year I have been saying I was going to get a summer job, and this Monday, I am set to start working part-time at a Christian daycare! I'm really excited, and I just hope I do a good job. The owner seems to be very nice, and it'll be good to make some money and learn how to manage it well. I'll try to let you all how my first day goes! I'm also going to try and get back to posting a quote of the day as much as I can! Sorry for the lack of them lately!

One day left...

I have one more day until school is out. Oh. My. Goodness. I am so excited! I'm trying to plan out my summer now. I'm actually in school right now writing this. The very end of the school year pretty much consists of finding a classroom to hang out in and have fun. Sincerely, An Excited, Self-Proclaimed Nerd

Field Day

I am convinced I am three shades darker than I was this morning. Field Day was pretty nice this year, but I had more fun last year. This year I didn't get on as many inflatables, and none of my friends wanted to get on them, which didn't help either. I DID have a snowcone though, which made life a little better haha. I also got to hang out with one of my best guy friends who I don't have any classes with this year, so that was fun. It was just nice to be able to relax a couple days before school is out. I went to my girls' ensemble (A Chord) practice after school too. This is only my 2nd time going to rehearsal, and I'm not gonna lie and say that it's easy, but it's a lot of fun too. I have to go but I'm gonna blog again later. Sincerely, A Self-Proclaimed Nerd

Oopsie...

Sorry that I haven't posted in so long! How has everyone been? I'm finished with finals (yay!). I have 5 more days left until school is out, and I'm so excited!!! I pulled out an A in my newspaper class, but I got a B in algebra 2. :( It made me really sad because I really trying to keep my 4.0, but things happen I guess. That's how you know the struggle is real...VERY REAL. Haha oh and by the way, I know this is random, but go check out this website: . It's a great blog, and yes, I am shamelessly plugging them. I'll try to blog more often in the next few days. Talk to you soon! Sincerely, A Generally Happy, Self-Proclaimed Nerd

A concert and a shout out!

One Direction was at the Fox Theatre yesterday.  The Fox Theatre is 20 minutes from my house.  I almost died of agony because I was not at the Fox, but at my house.  I couldn't see their beautiful faces or hear their angelic voices.  So close, yet so far...  BUT I heard the boys had a great time, and so did everyone else at the show.  Kudos to all the Detroit Directioners who made it loud yesterday (and I think we're one of the smaller venues too)!  I'm so proud!  Shout out to my friend Tales of a High School Bookworm and Drama Geek for putting up with all my moaning yesterday. ;)

I think I see a gray hair...

Ok, so studying for finals is making me a little crazy.  I'm trying so hard to focus but there's so many other things I would rather be doing than studying.  I don't wanna be freaking out tomorrow, though!  Plus, I really wanna go to my friend's party tomorrow!  I think I see a gray hair coming on. *sigh* That's when you know the struggle is real haha!

It's Friday, Friday!

...Gotta get down on Friday!  Oh, sorry.  I got a little carried away haha.  I am so sore from soccer and everything from my abs to my knees hurts like crazy.  I still have practice today, but not before I go to piano tutoring for an hour.  After that, I have to go home and study for my algebra final so that I can go to my friend's party on Sunday.  Oh, c'est la vie!  I hope my hair isn't gray by the end of the school year!
