Today I had my last day of SAT preparation class!!!! Yea!
Essentially it was SAT boot camp. It has given me the confidence to take the
SAT and know that if I follow a few rules I can be a SAT machine. At lunch I had a good discussion on the
importance of college. Talking about different things, such as college, helps
me develop what I want to do with my life. I have always wanted to leave high
school, get married, and have kids. Today I realized that my idea of a “perfect
life” is probably not going to happen and has made me think more about actually
going to college. I know how hard it is
for even college educated men and women to get jobs, little lone being un-college
educated. If you have input on what to do after high school I would love to hear
whether by e-mail or in the comment box below. The conversation became a little
tense and if you are reading this and were a part of the conversation and felt
hurt by the conversation I would like to personally ask for forgiveness because
during the conversation everyone was convinced that they knew what was best,
but the best is different for everyone. Afterwards I stayed and helped clean up
since the director was my ride home. Now I am at home doing laundry.
New vocabulary words – quintessential… perfect example; pulchritudinous…
beautiful
VERY FUNNY ...........
I also was told by a friend of mine to look up and listen
to a few songs from a group called “Smashing Pumpkins.” Their songs are unique.
Honestly I am at a loss for words to describe their group. I think I like the
lyrics of their songs better than the music, but I need to listen to the songs
a few more times before I can give an overall report on their music. Recently I
have been listening to a song by Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen called “Good
Time” and a few songs by Cher Loyd, specifically “Love me for me” because of
the guitar and some of the words.
Also a follow up on the lip balms I bought earlier this
week. There was no notable difference when I used the night balm, but I diligently
put on lip balm so a Night Balm is not necessary for me. My lips are usually
plenty hydrated and soft. The Mentha Supreme is wonderful because it not only
moisturizes, but also gives off a breath freshening aroma. I will probably be purchasing
it again. The My Favorite lip balm has been one of my personal favorites for
its moisturizing abilities, scent, and the way it looks after applied.
Last night I went to my friends sweet sixteen party. We talked
and played Ultimate Frisbee and talked and ate and talked and opened presents
and talked and had fun out under the stars and talked and played another game and
did I mention we talked. J Yes
when you get girls together there must be talking. I had a lot of fun and
realized I can sort of catch and throw a frisbee. With a little more practice I
might actually stand a chance playing with the youth group. I got home close to
midnight and by the time I finished getting ready for bed and doing the SAT
class homework it was close to 1:30 when I could finally close my dreary eyes
and go to sleep for a few hours before waking up and preparing for another day
of intense SAT training.
School is coming right around the corner and I figured that
I should have some sort of goals. This is not anywhere near an exhaustive list,
but here are just a couple of the things I plan on achieving or I just think
might be fun…

III.
Say a prayer of everything I am thankful for
each day
IV.
Keep up with my journaling
V.

VI.
Eat a new type of food
VII.
Do something that scares me
VIII.
Take the SAT
IX.

college
X.
Do my devotions diligently each night
XI.
Smile frequently
XII.
Go to the movie theatre in the early hours of
the morning
XIII.
Throw yogurt at a squirrel (Thank you Anna!)

Okay I am going to stop there for now before I make too
many commitments.
