Whew, I am READY!

I think there has only been one other time where I have been this ready for summer to come.  Some people just hate school in general and would never come back if they didn't have to, but that's not me.  I'm actually really looking forward to senior year, and I genuinely enjoy school.  I just NEED a break, and this summer is gonna provide some much needed TLC.  I'm almost there...just a month and a half to 

Junior year has definitely kicked my butt this year.  Between choir/girls' ensemble, AP English, and 6 other classes that have proved to be no joke, I have been running and running and running for the past 7 months, and I am ready to be done.  I don't want to sound ungrateful for my education, though (hopefully it doesn't sound like that already!).  I know there are thousands of kids out there who would love to have the educational opportunities that I have, and I have to remind myself to be thankful for the gift of school.  That being said, I will also be grateful for my 2 and a half month long summer vacation. ;)

Where has the time gone?

Hey guys!  I am soooo sorry that I haven't posted in so long...I didn't even post over spring break. :(  But I am back!  I logged in and saw that I had 41 more pageviews than I had the last time I logged on.  Thank you to all who may be reading!

Anywhoo, I'm in the final 2 months of school - the home stretch.  It's getting more difficult because I'm so ready for summer, but I have to stay focused because some of the concepts are only getting more complicated and building on all the things I've learned thus far.  Plus, I have 8 weeks to make sure that, when I get my report card in June, my grades are in tip-top shape. :)  Summer, where art thou?

French trip update:  I got my passport in the mail about a week ago, and through fundraising, I just raised enough money to purchase my plane ticket!!!  I should be booking my flight within the next week. :)

Once again, I'm so sorry for not blogging in so long.  It's been crazy lately, and I'm just trying to keep up.  However, I'm really excited for my trip in July, and I'm gonna try to blog as much as I can while I'm there!!!  It should be fun!

Video of me singing :)

So, speaking of spirituals (if you don't know what I'm talking about, check out my last post here), here's a video of me singing in A Chord, the girls' vocal ensemble at my school.  We're a singing group and a sisterhood.  I really enjoy singing with these girls, and I hope you enjoy our rendition of "Do Lord, Remember Me." :)

Midterms...yuck

So, I am in the very middle of midterms (the tests we high schoolers have to take at the end of the first semester), and I am freaking out!  There's so much going on, and it just feels like life won't stop and take a break for midterms...I guess it doesn't.  It's been rough, and I'm pretty stressed, but after this week, it'll all be over and I can start afresh in second semester (yay!).  Just gotta get through this week...

Final exams and a big blogging milestone

Guess what?  I am only 8 pageviews away from 500!!!  I'm officially excited.  Whether you actually follow this blog and put in consistent views or if all 492 have been chance views, I think it's a pretty big milestone.  Thank you to all who might be reading!

Also, final exams are coming up, and I'm a little nervous.  I'm kinda pressed for time too.  They start in exactly 5 days, and I have a lot to do in that short span of time.  There's papers to write, performances to do, and presentations to prepare for.  Oh, joy. :)  I better go get started!  Talk to you all soon!

I am SOOOO sorry!

It's been a whole month and a half since I last blogged - how sad is that?  Life is full, and sure has been keeping me busy.  I'm sorry to have neglected keeping you up to date, though.  Junior year is no joke, but I'm trying to make it through.  I've made quite a few more friends this year, which is always fun.  Thanksgiving break starts after school tomorrow, and it's very welcomed by all the students and staff at my school.  I have a physics test I need to study for, but I just wanted to let you know that I am indeed still alive and well, and I will try to at least post a Quote of the Day a little more often!  Love you all!

P.S. I am absolutely loving all of the Russian views that I am getting.  I love all of my Russian readers, and I appreciate you all taking the time to read about my life one tidbit at a time. :)

The vocal department...

So, this year, I am WAY more involved with the vocal department at my school compared to last year.  Last year was my first year being involved, and I was only in beginning choir.  This year, I'm in concert choir (varsity choir) and A Chord (the girls' vocal ensemble).  I'm a singin' soul haha!  It's a lot more work and commitment, but at the same time, I'm really enjoying it and I think it's going to be fun.  Varsity travels a lot, so that's gonna be challenging with school/homework/other commitments, but I'm determined to make it work.  I'll keep you updated on any cool vocal events that take place. :)

New school year!!!

I am sooooo sorry that I haven't posted in so long, but I figured, since it's the beginning of a new school year, I might as well kick it off with a new post.  I actually started about 2 weeks ago, but it's the thought that counts! ;)
So, believe it or not, I'm a junior this year (upperclassman, woot woot!), and I think my schedule is pretty tough.  I have world history, drama, physics, honors pre-calculus, concert choir, French 3, and AP English.  I'm really excited for French this year because I have a really good teacher, so hopefully I'll be a boss at French by the end of the year (Parlez-moi francais? Oui, oui, je vais!).  I'm also really looking forward to getting really into varsity choir because it's a big commitment and we travel a lot, but it seems like a lot of fun.  I'll try to keep you all posted with what goes down in my relatively drama-free-but-somehow-pretty-interesting life. :)
By the way, it seems like I've had a spike of Russian viewers recently, which is SUPER exciting.  Hello to everyone in Russia!!!
