The deed is done!

The finals for my college work are done and my honours projects turned in. I feel that I've done extremely good on them ^_^ Another month of HS, and I'll be done with the school year, just in time to start Calculus III. LOL ^_^ That's only a six week, morning course. I've decided that I am going to force my HS graduation early. So, yeah, YaY Me! ^_^

First day over

Lee picked me up this morning. It looks like he'll be my ride in the mornings this year ^_^ He's driven me around all summer, but something about him picking me up this morning just sent my heart go pitter-patter and stirred up the butterflies in my tummy <3

Homeroom: Programming in C++ This is going to be another awesome class. I only wish that it was college level. Yvonne is the only friend of mine that is in homeroom with me. Lee has Music, Kyle and Alice are in English.

My college courses for today were: American Literature, Animation I, and Calculus I. Tomorrow's courses will be: Physics, Drawing I, and Tennis I. As you can see, I'm still wishy-washy on my true major. I'll have to formally declare one very soon. But for now, I can grab as many interesting courses as possible ^_^

First day of classes

It's here! It's finally here. The first day of classes for a new year. I'm officially in 11th grade. This looks to be another awesome year ^_^ They've all been awesome, but this looks even more awesome LOL ^_^

One week left...

School starts next Monday. I'm hyped for a new year, new things to learn, new people to meet, well, new everything! ^_^ It'll be my 11th year and my guidance counsellor suggested that I can graduate high school at the end of this year if everything goes right ^_^ She said for all intents and purposes, I'm actually in college now, just doing the high school thing to meet the law and such.

Anyway, the sun is shining! The beach is calling! Actually, it was Yvonne calling a few minutes ago suggesting another beach day LOL ^_^ She wants to get a little more tanning in before we head back to school. On a side note, it seems that my freckles have been disappearing over the past few summers. Weird huh? I didn't think that was even possible. I still have freckles but their not as intense as they once were.

Arf! Arf!

The dog days of Summer are here. It's going to get hotter as the month goes on. Add the daily rain, and you've got a sauna, everyday for the rest of the month. I don't know why it's called the Dog Days. My dogs don't like it. It's way too hot and humid for them. I haven't been taking them running with me lately because I don't want to risk them getting sick. But, I do take them for exploration walks though ^_^ They're happy ^_^

School starts in a couple of weeks, both high school and college. Our state does a "no sales tax" weekend for school supplies and clothes. That ended yesterday. Needless to say, I'm well stocked in jeans, tops, undies (some smexy ^_^), sandals, running shoes, etc. I don't really need much in school supplies, with almost everything being done electronically. But do get some nonetheless along with tons of art supplies ^_^

Friday!

Last day of school! In about four hours, I'll be done for the year and will be officially on Summer holiday ^_^ I hope Lee and my friends get turned loose early. I want to celebrate with them ^_^ Regardless, I'll be waiting for them if they're there for the full day. I need to get dressed now. I think I'm going to dress all summery with lots of neons LOL ^_^

La la la!

One more day and then Summer break! YaY! Why the heck do they have the finals a week before school ends is beyond me. I would have thought that we'd do finals and then be turned loose. But noooo, they want to drag out this school year >.< LOL

Friday! Friday! Friday!

It's FRIDAY! Yay! ^_^ All of my finals are done! Three day weekend has started! I'm hyper! LOL ^_^

Next week is the last week of school. Four days of basically, nothing. Well, not really just nothing. Some classes are doing mini end of school parties. Almost all the class are like informal get togethers than regular classes. A few will have some purely optional things to do over the Summer. But for the most part, there's nothing left to do.

Final tomorrow

Well, tomorrow is it; my final for my high school American History. Once that's done, for the most part, school is over ^_^ Why we have to come back next week, no one knows. It's a freaking short week anyway; so why not give it to us? But on the bright side, this will be a three day weekend ^_^

Finals Week

This week is Finals Week for my high school. Unlike college where once you've taken your final, you're done with the class. In high school, you keep coming to class until the end of the school year, which this year is Friday of next week. What a waste of time >.<

Friday

One week down and three more to go. Then. SUMMER!!! Yes! Unlike the summers before, this year I leave for the Everglades almost immediately. They're trying to avoid tropical storms and hurricanes this year. So while my friends are running around and celebrating the end of school, I'll be mucking about in a swamp :P LOL ^_^

Done!

Midterms are complete ^_^ Midterms seems to be a weird thing to call them since we're three quarters of the way through the year. But, that's a high school year. In college, I'm actually half way through the Spring semester. Thus, midterms. Next Friday, not tomorrow, we get the day off. That's when the teachers and professors workout the grades and formally turn them in. In college you don't get "report cards" until the end of semester. If you want to know how you're doing so far, you need to ask your professor. But usually that's not needed because they spell out how they grade in the course syllabus. So, if you have all your scores, you can figure it out yourself.

Midterms

All this week is midterms. So far it's been easy; just longer versions of our normal tests. Most of my break time has been used helping out with "panic" study groups. This is my way of studying without studying ^_^ I learn by doing and by tutoring, I'm doing ^_^ And now, I need to study running with the dogs :P Then I'll need to get cleaned up and ready for dance class later ^_^

Ultra short day

Today was an ultra short day. I had only one class: American History, my high school homeroom. After that, I was out for the rest of the day. A couple of years ago, I didn't mind being alone. Alice was my only friend. Now, I have Lee, Yvonne, and Alice along with a few others that can be fun to hang with. The problem is that they're in school still. I'm the only one that is duel enrolled. So, there's no one around until later in the day. Sure, I can get some "me" time in and running and such. But I seem to need more of being with someone than being alone.

Finals next week

Well, next week is finals week for my college classes. After that, I only have homeroom in the mornings for a week, then Winter vacation. From what I understand, the final for a class might not be scheduled at the same time as the original class, and not even on the same day. This is going to be weird o.O But I LOVE weird! hehehe ^_^

I never did finish my novel for National Writers Month. The furthest I got was about 2000 words before I changed my mind and started over again. Yeah, that was my downfall, constantly finding something more interesting to write about than what I was currently writing about o.o Focus, girl, focus! hehe eh yeah. o.o I did like the idea that I was working on and it was throughout all my attempts. The problem was that I kept finding different ways to examine it. Even worse, was that the attempts themselves didn't mesh with one another in a nice way. Otherwise, I could have used them as chapters in the novel.

Wednesday

Short day, what more can I say? I want to see Lee tonight. I don't know why, I just do. But he's still in school and will be for another two hours. He probably won't have tonight off, but that's not a problem. I don't mind helping him and his dad out. So, until then, I'll be practicing my guitar and drawing after I get back from my run.

With Lee

I hung out with Lee tonight. We spent most of the time in his room talking and goofing off and kissing and such ^_^ Hannah was in with us for a little while be Lee's mom extricated her lol ^_^ What's funny, is that nothing really happened but I feel all giggly and happy inside ^_^

Fruity, cheesy person

Today is a short day. And it also happens to be lunch time ^_^ I'm sitting in the cafeteria munching my lunch: fruit and cheese platter with a soft roll, chocolate milk, and double brownie ^_^ I had the fruit and cheese platter yesterday, but felt like it again today. I guess I'm just a fruity, cheesy person ^_^

We get Friday off for grades in high school, but we also get it off in college. It's basically a professional day for teachers and such. Probably explains why the college gets it off too.

It was a gray sky this morning. Not the rainy type, but almost a winter gray. There is supposed to be a cold front coming it by this weekend. It will probably not get cold, just cool and just cool enough to be nice outside ^_^

End of First Quarter

First quarter of high school ends this week. No school Friday! What's weird is that there are no classes in college either o.O Oh well, it's doubly awesome ^_^ We did have a test in American History and I most likely aced it ^_^ Yay me! ^_^

Lee works tonight with his dad. So maybe I'll meet up with Yvonne or Kyle or both or none later. Right now, I need to shower because I just came back from running with my dogs. I'll probably play around with my guitar until mom gets home afterwards.

I've noticed that I've gotten into the habit of writing posts for here and saving them as drafts but never posting them. Sometimes I get so busy that I forget to even post them. I need to get out of that habit. I don't like post dating things. It feels like I'm cheating.

Hurricanes and tests.

Hurricane Issac is on its way. It's supposed to be here sometime Monday, but with luck, it'll be further west in the Gulf instead of skimming the shore or worse. Mom's going through the check list of stuff we have and need for our Hurricane Kit. The dogs and cat are all up to date with their shots though we need a crate for Sasha. We totally forgot about her O.O If for some horrible bad luck we end up at a shelter, the dogs and cat need to be in crates. Otherwise, they can't stay >.< Where the heck are they going to go????? People can be so cruel. Anyway, this is probably causing all the rain we've been getting in the afternoons lately. Which is no problem for me. I love running in the rain and so do Tom and Jack ^_^

We have an essay test tomorrow in English. Well, it's sort of a test and sort of an assignment. The instructor wants to find out how we do under pressure of the clock. Apparently all the "big" tests have an essay question that counts like 20% of the final total. So, we have to practice essay questions. It doesn't bother me one bit though. I love essay questions ^_^
