My Last Blog

It is hard to believe that this is going to be my last blog. It seems like this year has just flown by. I feel like I should be just completing my blogs for the month of September. Junior year has been one of the greatest years so far. None of my classes were extremely difficult. I didn't have any also student teachers like last year (aka Myrtle the turtle). There were definitely many new experiences this year and I got to be involved in a lot more things than last year. For example there was Beta club and NHS. This was my first year that I had my license for a full year and it was very nice to have that freedom. This year I also kind of got my first job teaching piano lessons. I have made some nice extra money and it something that I actually enjoy doing. There have also been some big changes in my life. The main change being that I am no longer dancing with Owensboro Dance Theatre. I know now that it has definitely been a change for the better. I have started Eaglettes for next year and I can already tell that it is going to be a lot less stress than ODT. I have also had some great accomplishments this year. The main one being making Governor's Scholar Program. I can't wait until this summer. Junior year was definitely a great year but I can't wait to be a senior. Starbucks is amazing!!!!

Prom

So this will be my last blog of the year for prom. It is hard to believe that it could go by so fast. There have been numerous hours of work that went into prom and it is all over in a flash. Getting up early that morning to decorate wasn't really all that much fun. Especially since I was stuck hanging the gossamer once again. It seemed to look a lot better than it did last year though. After I got done decorating the rest of the day flew by. Before I knew it, it was time to go and get my make up and hair done. It was really nice for someone else to do my make up so that I didn't have to worry about it. It was also a nice to surprise when I got my hair and make up done with an ex dancer whom I hadn't seen in a while. After my hair and make up appointment before I knew it Christopher was at my house. We took like a zillion pictures and then we had to go to Lee's house and eat. There were a lot of people at her house. The food was delicious. When we finally arrived at the dance the three hours at the dance flew by. I felt like I barely even got to see that many people. Before I knew it it was already eleven o clock. Even though the weather wasn't the greatest,prom lived up to all my expectations.

AP US History Test

I just got done taking about a three hour test. A three hour test is long enough when you know everything. However, it is especially long when you don't know that much of what you are being tested over. The multiple choice section of the test wasn't that bad because I had at least a one in four chance of choosing the right answer. Even though they do take off a 1/4 of a point for everyone that you get wrong. So I had to decide when I wanted to guess and when I had absolutely no clue at all. The writting section of the test was the absolute worst. Even if you had no clue at all you just had to make up something. The writing section seemed to last forever. I though that my hand was going to fall off before I got done. For the DBQ I could at least use the documents to make it sound like I semi know what I am doing. However on the free response questions if you didn't know any of the answers you just had to make something up....which is exactly what I did. The best part of the test is the poem that I wrote Mr. Fuller. I can't wait until I get my test booklet back and he gets to read it. Going to lunch afterwards was nice to. I pretty much paid $86 to get a piece of paper (Commonwealth Diploma).

It's three days away!!!

It is hard to believe that prom is only three days away. I feel like there is so much to be done in such a short amount of time. It is going to be a crazy last three days. Friday Chris has to go and pick up his tux and I have this fear that they are going to give him the wrong color. The tux store I am sure will be crazy. I am glad that I don't have to go and do that. Saturday is going to be a day of mad chaos. There is a large chance of rain and that makes me very upset. That morning I have to go and help decorate which I am dreading. I don't want to have to deal with the prom sponsors and the decorations that I don't really even like (I have finally gotten over the crappy cheap decorations). Then as soon as I get done I have to go to the Creme and get some coffee (hopefully the caffeine will last most of the day). After that I have to rush home so that I can wash my hair before I go to the salon. Then I have to go to the salon and get my hair and make up done. Then I have to rush home and get ready because then Chris is coming over to take pictures outside which it will be raining and so I don't know where we will take pictures and that is another disaster. So that is enough of venting about how much I have to do for prom. I can't wait!!! Starbucks is the best!!!

Prom is almost here!

It is hard to believe that prom is almost finally here. I feel like ever since I started planning prom it felt like it was a long ways away. I never thought that it would finally get here. However I do know that it is almost here because I had a nightmare about it last night. As large events get closer I seem to always have nightmares about them going awry. This was probably the worst nightmare ever though. So my date was coming over to my house and he forgot to pick up the flowers. So I had to take pictures without flowers but that wasn't the worst part. He wasn't wearing his tux. He just kept saying that he didn't feel like putting it on and I couldn't understand why not because he has been really excited about taking pictures with me in his tux. So i reluctantly take pictures with him in jeans because I told him that he was going to put his tux on later so then when we went to dinner he didn't even want to be there. He wasn't being his normal talkative self and it was just really awkward because I was like having a conversation with myself. Then when we went to the dance we wouldn't even dance with me that much. Luckily after that I woke up from the nightmare. I almost started crying because it felt so real. Even though I had that terrible nightmare I am still really excited about prom. It is going to be so much fun! Starbucks + me= LOVE!

Could I possibly miss it?

It has been almost a month since I have last danced. That is probably the longest time that I have ever gone without dancing. I can't even remember a time that I went even two weeks without dancing. However, I don't miss ODT at all. That is what some people don't understand that ODT and dance are two different things. Dancing has always been something that I have loved and will continue to do. Dance is a way that I can escape all of the stress and just think about nothing except dance. However ODT was no longer a good thing. It was just a lot of stress and it made dancing not fun at all. When I here about all of the drama that is going on at the studio it just reaffirms that I made the right decision. Apparently one of the dance teachers decided that the class from 10-12 on Saturday mornings wasn't long enough. That class was awful anyways but she decided to extend it to 9:30 - 12:00. Even hadn't already quit that might have done me in. Mrs. Johnson has yet to make any changes and the girls are just more and more miserable. She will be really surprised when she has a lot less girls audition. So even though I do miss dancing I don't miss ODT. I think I will have to take dance classes somewhere else but I definitely will not be returning to ODT. I love Starbucks!!!!

I have been accepted!!!

I am so glad that the very long wait is over. Ever since I turned in my application in December I have been wondering whether or not I would get in to GSP. There is no more wondering now that I know that I got in!! The day that I knew the letter would arrive at school telling the guidance counselor who was accepted I could barely concentrate on school work. I even put rings on 100 key chains for prom during my 1st block class because I had to do something to occupy my time. It seemed like the minutes were going by like hours. I knew that the mail was delivered during second block. So during second block I went up to the front office and watched the office aides sort through the mail. Of course the gsp letter was at the bottom of the mail. As soon as I saw the letter I wanted to grab it but I knew that I couldn't do that. So I ran to Mr. Tomes office and told him that the letter arrived. He told me that I could go get it for him. So I ran and got the letter and gave it to him. He read the letter but wouldn't tell me the results yet because he said that wasn't fair. So I had to wait another fifteen minutes for him to type out an e-mail to everyone who applied. As soon as I saw my name on the list I just felt a huge since of relief since I had been accepted. I had been trying to act like I didn't care whether or not I got in but the truth was that I actually cared a lot! Starbucks is awesome!!!
