Wanderlust

I want to travel! This has nothing to do with school. I'm reading a book, which is a thing I do sometimes, and the main character is Nicholas Flamel. I went to the author's website (which is also a thing I do apparently) and saw that Nicholas Flamel's house is still standing and it is a restaurant and I want to go so badly! I also kind of want to go to the catacombs, but slightly less so because they're creepy. I want to go to France so badly. More than anywhere else. I'm totally doing an exchange trip during college.

I should make a list of places where I want to go. Specific places, not just countries. I should finish my book first.

3 weeks left

I had school off today! That means four day week. I have 3 weeks until I am officially a senior. I don't know if I'm happy or scared. That's a lie, I'm happy.

I spent all weekend working on English because we have an IB essay that's due tomorrow. I also have an IB presentation that's due on the 8th so I worked on that too.

I'm supposed to meet the IB coordinator about CAS this week and pick an EE topic. I also have two biology tests and I get to write an extra credit history paper to try and get from a B to an A.

I just want to sleep.

Oh, I also got into LINK which I know counts as volunteering for CAS and it is a "year long commitment" and a group thing, but i don't know if it can count as all of those things, or just one. I'll have to ask.

Standardized Testing

I got my ACT scores back and I got a 31!!! woooo! I'm so happy! It means I would be in the top 25% of the people applying to UW! Happy happy happy!

I also registered for the SAT and I'm taking it June 2nd.

Track is over too. And today in English I got my IOP proposal back and it had an "excellent" on it! Yay!!

Also  am applying to be a LINK leader because I have no official leadership stuff under my belt, and it's volunteering for CAS... Maybe I can make it creativity too?

Nerves.

I had the first part of the IB Psychology test today and I was so nervous I only ate some almonds and cheese and then I didn't eat after because I had a track meet and I didn't want to throw up, so by the time I ran I was dying. The test wasn't as bad as I expected, luckily I got questions that I know how to answer.

Tomorrow is psych in the morning for an hour starting at 8 and then math for 1.5 hours starting at 12. My friends (who are also taking both tests) and I are going out to brunch after the psych test.

I get to go to the Rotary banquet this Sunday because apparently I'm and "outstanding student in French." Oh yeah.
