Missing My First Day Of School

This may sound crazy, and in a lot of ways it is. I have never missed a full day of high school. Or as a matter of fact junor high, and pretty much none in elementary school either with the exception of having pink eye and chicken pox. I am heading to San Diego next weekend to go visit SDSU and I will have to miss school on Friday. I guess I'm not really missing school when I'm flying down to go to school there for both Friday and Saturday. I was admitted into their honors program and the information lunch is on Friday March 17. Seriously why couldn't they have waited one more week until it was our spring break. Oh well...and the following Saturday is a prospective freshman open house. I'm excited :) I also found out that SDSU had over 61,000 students apply and this year they are expecting the enrollment of one of the most academically prepared classes they have ever had. I'm excited and I'm definitely leaning towards going there next year :)

SJCC!!

Im headed to San Jose City College for my third visit! This time with Chris Clowdus! I am Stoked! Chris and I are going to meet with football coaches and see our new appt.! The coaches are looking for jobs for me and helping me find an appt.! They are so helpful. I cant wait to rep the purple of the SJCC Panthers. I will be majoring in journalism when i start there! Weird choice, huh.. Well I'm excited, and hope il be home in time for my basketball game tonight at cal fit. Oh! and by the way, La Vic's is the best burrito ever! If you ever go to San Jose go there and get a burrito with orange sauce! Come watch me play ball at SJCC next year!

Oscars.

I have to say I definitely have an awards show fetish. Something about them just gets me so excited. Whether its the fashion, the actual awards or the celebrities, who knows, but I look forward to them for weeks ahead of time. The Grammys is by far my favorite because of the amazing performances, while the Oscars or Academy Awards are my least favorite (and happen to be on tonight). This is most likely because I have only seen two or, at the absolute most, three of the movies that are nominated and because it mainly appeals to older audiences due to the older celebrities that star in most of these movies. I only hope that Sandra Bullock wins Best Actress for The Blind Side because I thought she was amazing in it. Well, I'm off to finish homework and go sulk about the end of awards season.

Sick again

This is the third time I've been sick this school year. And I've noticed a trend. When school work starts to pile up, I start staying up later and later to finish it. This time, I stayed up until one in the morning and then woke up again at five studying for an AP world test that was moved forward from Thrusday to Tuesday. So I crammed. Whenever I do this, I guess my immune system shuts down. I was also hanging around friends who have recently been sick, so it was easy for me to catch their bug. And this is about the worst week for me to be missing school. We are coming down to the end of the quarter, so teachers like throwing in all these last minute tests. I'm missing a math test, chem test, and English test. I also won't be at school to help my print issue group finish our page.

But at least I ended up scoring well on my AP world test:) So was it worth it?

no...

I'm just sick and tired of school affecting my health. I'm ready for another break please!

Blog all you want, so long as it's not during Journalism

Maybe it's just coincidence, but every time I try to log on to the blog during Journalism, I can't because of some internet failure warning or something. However, whenever I'm in another class and I have the time to blog, or I'm at home, I can get into the blog. Isn't the blog supposed to be posted on by JOURNALISM students? So why can't we get in during JOURNALISM? Another thing. Why did I even notice this? I have no life.

We're all going to Die!!! The Movie.

Just saw 2012 last night. It was pretty good movie. Cool special effects, a bit of humor, loss, sadness, family, and the idea for the best amusement park ride ever. There's a part near the beginning of the movie where there is a family in a car that is basically driving through a maelstrom of catastrophes, dodging cars and explosions and chasms and whatnot, and for some reason it just struck me as being a really cool theme for a ride. Maybe I'm just crazy. Scratch that, I'm definitely crazy. Still, I think I could be right about this one.

Not that long left.

Woah. I have realized it is March 2010 I have Three months until graduation. Things are going to go by so fast now. Jr prom tickets arent for sale anymore and its almost time for senior ball tickets to go on sale. I still dont have a dress or a date but im sure things will work out. Its time to make a decision for college and all the Seniors are stressed out about scholarships and turning things in, when in all reality it should have been done weeks ago. The time to pack up all our rooms and move or not move ha is coming faster than we even know. It's exciting and scary all at the same time. but I suppose it is all part of growing up.
