Vacation and Drivers Ed

I had so much fun on vacation! We went tubing, boating, and mostly just relaxed. Now I'm back home and I have mostly have been working out and playing soccer. My soccer team played in a 3v3 tournament this weekend, and that was a lot of fun and we even came in second! 

I haven't really done anything too exciting over break... I went putt-putt with so friends, went to see a movie, hung out, relaxed, etc. I am leaving for vacation in one week again though, so that is pretty exciting. 

It's so weird right now because my brother is at soccer camp, and I am not used to being the only child. The other day when we dropped him off, we got to walk around the college campus for a little while which was neat. 

Right now I am in drivers ed class. It is pretty boring! It consists of eight 3-hour classes of reading the book, listening to the instructor, and watching cheesy videos! But I guess it is making us safer drivers, so that's good. 

I hope that everyone is having an awesome summer!

Summer Time :)

Yay! I can't believe that it is finally summer! This year has gone by so quickly. I can't believe that I'm going to be a sophomore. My exams went pretty well...or I hope that they went pretty well. The hardest one was either Spanish or English. On the English exam we had to read a short story, and it took forever to read. I think that I spent 15 or 20 minutes reading the story. The story was really weird too, and hard to understand! Other than that, everything else wasn't too bad. Health was really long; it had 242 questions and a short answer.

I am completely exhausted! I spent so many hours studying in the last week that I think my head might explode! At least we are leaving for vacation tonight, and that should be a good time to unwind and relax. I am even more excited to go, because it has been rainy and stormy here for the past few days, and it will be a treat to be out in the sun and swim in the lake! Also, one of my best friends is coming with us so it should be a blast.

Also, I am so excited because I am going to be next year's Layout Editor for the school newspaper. I think that it will be a great chance to meet more upperclassmen. My teacher asked me to join the newspaper in the middle of the year, and it has been an awesome experiance. Also, if you are an editor, it counts as 1/2 art credit (which is awesome because you need 1 and already have 1/2 from Tech Comm). Also, if you are an editor you get to go to "Journalism" class twice a week where you get to meet with the other editors and talk about the issue... I am really excited!

I can't not wait to start enjoying the summer days :)

Study Study Study

Only 5 days until exams and the pressure is on! I feel so incredibly overwhelmed by all of the studying that I still have left to do. I did start pretty early, so I am not in as bad of shape as some others, but it is still majorly stressful. I try to finish all of my studying before exam week starts. I like to review the night before the exam, not have to learn completely new things... It is hard to get everything done by then though. I have over 250 English vocabulary words, over 100 Christian Awareness, at least 250 Spanish, and at least 150 in Health... That is a LOT of vocabulary. It is really disheartening to look at the stacks of index card I have!

On top of all the exam studying, we are also finishing up units in almost every class. The teachers are all trying to cram in that last lesson plan. It is really exhausting!

When exam time comes around, my social life is at an all time low! This weekend the only thing on my agenda is studying! Last weekend I had a soccer tournament which didn't leave much extra time to hang out with friends either... but we won first place so that is good! (Also, we won our whole league on Wednesday!!)

Well I have to get back to studying...
