Finals Week and Awesomeness

So it's finals week this week which means I get half of Thursday and Friday off.


In much more exciting news, I WENT TO THE TOUR DE NERDFIGHTING AND IT WAS AWESOME. I got John greens new book and he signed it and another one of his books and Hank signed my program and a grapefruit and we had a conversation that went like this:

John Green: Can I ask you something?
Me: Sure.
Him: How old are you?
Me: Uhhh... 16. Haha took me a second.
Him: It would take me a second too. (He said something else but I was too stunned to hear.) 
And then I walked away and I was shaking and it was amazing and I don't know why I was so starstruck, but they were really cool and now I want to read the book but I have to study for history (Darn you, Mr. Carlisle.). 
 Oh, here's some pictures!

Happy Post!

So I have realized this is a highly negative blog. Maybe because it has to do with school haha just kidding not everything about school is negative. Well, my point it that I'm going to post one happy post that doesn't have to do with school every month. So here goes.

Last weekend I drove a 47 year old VW Beetle... Into a bush. So, I'd never driven a manual car before and my friend was like, "Do you want to drive my car?" (We were in an empty parking lot, just to be clear that this wasn't on the road.) So I agreed, but I warned him I'd never driven a manual and he assured me I'd be fine. However, he did not tell me not to take my foot all the way off of the clutch... Yep. It was funny but I felt bad because he loves his car. I did warn him though. :)


That was a fun happy post!

The Future Sucks.

Well trying to plan the future sucks. I signed up for a drawing class at PCC, but I don't know if I want to take it. I haven't paid yet, so I can drop out if I want. I was thinking and I don't think I'm creative enough to major in apparel design. So marketing it is I guess. For now. I change my mind too much. It's annoying because every time I change my mind I change all of the things I've started planning in my head. maybe I'll just stop planning, but that doesn't seem like a good idea either because then I have no idea what I'm doing. Hmmm.


I have a psych test on Wednesday. I hate psych tests. WHY IS THIS SO NEGATIVE?!?! Probably because I have a headache and I'm tired.

History IA is OVER!!

I got a 97%!! Yes! I only missed 5 points overall, I'm really pleased with my score, but I still barely have a 90% overall in history. If I do well on the next two tests I should be able to keep an A though.

My psych IA is due on Friday and I don't think I'll do very well on it. I know it's not good to say that because then I will do poorly, or whatever, but psych is the hardest class I have ever taken and sometimes I feel like I just don't understand. Oh well, I only have to be super worried about editing it for IB and the IB test.

I got a B on the bio test I took before the break. It was an 85% so I'm ok, I still have 1n 89%.

I'm going to start drawing classes on the 14th at PCC. Yep. I want to work at Nike so bad, but I just realized I'm not really awesome at any skill except being organized. I do like running and stuff, but I read they like people who LOVE athletics... I guess that means I'll be training super hard in track and actually working out when it ends... This is getting kind of confusing, I think I'll just end it now.
