Prom!

Prom was yesterday at the Portland Art Museum. The theme was Hollywood. It was fun, my boyfriend and I went to Pastini Pastaria for dinner before and then after we went and bought junk food and watched Forrest Gump.

Pictures!!

And IB tests are next week and I'm still not ready for the psych one. Blaahhhh. Oh well.

This is My Procrastination.

First day of the new quarter! Last quarter of Junior year. All the teachers tell the seniors not to get senioritis, which is good advice third quarter, but I think when fourth quarter comes around everybody in every grade has some kind of why-can't-school-be-over-now-itis. I definitely do.

In English we are going to read Antigone but it's the version by the French guy who has a funny last name. We did read Oedipus the King for homework tonight though. I looove Greek stuff so much! I find it fascinating. Except I don't like how all of the names are spelled.

IB tests are so close. I've been putting off Psychology because it's hard and there's stuff you have to learn outside of class and I'm busy. Also I'm not expecting to do well anyway. I hope I can retake it next year if I do really really bad. If I get a 3 I'll be fine though. Math should be a breeze.

I need to sign up for the SAT soon. That's scary.


So I kind of hate track, well I don't hate running, I just hate everything else about it, but it keeps me in shape and is something to do not involving education. Today 'd been getting these weird stabbing feelings in my chest under my sternum and around my heart and then I told my coach because running made it hurt more and she asked if I have asthma (No.) and then she just shrugged and it hurt like hell. Sigh. It doesn't hurt now though.

I bought prom tickets today! It's going to be at the Portland Art Museum which should be fun. Prom is expensive.

Going to go work on some of that psych stuff now!

College Application News!

Woooooooooooooo! I'm so excited! UW sent a mailing out that had all of the dates for freshmen applicants on it and the essay topics are available on August 1! Then application is October 1 through December 1.

ACT testing is on the 24th then all of my IB tests are May 3rd and 4th. Yaaay.

The quarter ended on Thursday but none of my grades are finalized so yeah.

Next week is "Tiger Pride Week" where they have random ice cream parties and stuff for good students. I think the only on I'll be going to is the 3.75 GPA or higher. Super exciting.

Spring Break is Almost Over

I went to Arizona and stayed with my mom's cousin. I got sunburned on the second day. It was sad. We went on a hike to see petroglyphs, which were cool, and we went to the missile silo from the Cold War in Tuscon, which was boring (mostly because the tour guide was not very enthusiastic and it was hot). We also went to a mission that was built in the 1700s which was cool because they were selling delicious Indian fry bread outside. I went to an art fair on the ASU campus too, I bought a ring that is made out of oyster forks!

Petroglyphs!

The mission

FOOOOD.

Fork ring!

In English before the break we got assigned group projects for our dystopian novels (mine is 1984). It's an art project. Woo hoo. So today I have to finish reading and tabbing and write a blog post. 

Also, I have my mind firmly set on going to UW. So that's new...

Why can't spring break be two weeks?!?
