YAY!

I have some great news!
Today I got home from working on Deadline 3 at 7:15 p.m. today. I ate pizza for dinner at school so I felt like poo poo and I decided to go on my usual run (through the rain which was AMAZING). When I got back my mom said "hey April, you have a letter from IUN on the counter."
You know, I thought it was nothing big, maybe a letter about my placement test or something, but no....
I opened up the crisp envelope and slowly took out the beautiful watermarked letter from my future college and I read it...and I read it again...and I read it again.
What do I read?
I got a full ride to IUN!
I got so excited I started to cry....LOL JK I never cry. But I was extremely relieved.

There's a first time for EVERYTHING

So tonight I had deadlines till five o'clock. It wasn't bad, only three hours after school (it will be MUCH longer tomorrow). But that's not the point.
The point is this...
I HAD NO HOMEWORK TONIGHT!
I think it was the first time this whole year that this has happened.
ps:
I know that was a random post, and I'm sorry

please forgive me

All I have to say is...

THANK GOD TOMORROW IS FRIDAY

I thought this was necessary

So this new poster is hanging up on my wall next to my vanity and I thought it was creative and funny. So take your time to read some of them, because you will laugh your face off.

Enjoy =)

The same old thing all over again.

I feel like my whole blog is revolved around this same old post; and it goes like this...
Dear April Dolores,
You need to stop creeping on facebook at your old friends from Illinois. You need to shut down your computer and start working. Without studying you will get a bad grade on your Intelligence Unit in AP Psychology. And without a good grade in Psychology you will not get a 5 on your AP exam in May. This would totally suck, considering you will be majoring in Psychology in College which is only a semester away.
So all in all, go back to studying pages 171-194 for an open notes quiz and then go studying your intelligence notes from Chapter 11.
Thanks,
okay,
goodnight,
bye.

Dear Frankenstein.

Tomorrow I have a test over Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. For some reason my teacher didn't want to do the traditional multiple choice, he wanted to do the whole thing as an "other" section.
You may ask, "what is under an 'other' section, april?"
Here's my answer:
no one knows
It is a complete mystery until you have the test right in front of you. And right now I am trying to study for it, but it's a complete puzzle of what I'm trying to study.
So wish me luck, and hope that I pass.
(I'm not wishing for an A because I know that is not achievable for me)

Stop It Please

Okay so I'm a senior in high school, as you should already know, and there is a distinct high school style throughout our school. It gets me angry when people still dress like they are in middle school still.
(I know I'm being picky and probably sound like a mean person but fuzzy boots in particular really make me upset)
These boots are not cute with whatever!

Okay sorry I'm done complaining I just went aboard the "complain train" and I'm back off now.
I'm officially a nice person from this point on....

Good Ole' Room S110

So I'm trying to fix the proofs for Deadline 1 and I can't...
Why you may ask?
InDesing on computer 29 (my wonderful editor computer) will not open.
It quits every time...
How am I supposed to create a 320 page yearbook without InDesign on my computer.
Guess I'll have to steal someone elses computer.


oh well!

In the Spirit of Valentines Day

So yeah I'm a nerd. Yesterday was Valentines Day so my friend Sidney, Marko, and I decided to make valentine baskets for our staff and we had to make actual valentines to go inside the baskets. So in spirit of publications and valentines day I decided to find journalism ones...and oh boy did I find them....

Wady Photo's Intro Assignment

The poles and medicine balls for Girls Track lay out in the sports conditioning equipment room. The track team went 62-0 for their record this past year.

Matt (10) poses for the camera as he checks what he needs for his photo project in Intro to Journalism. Matt had to go on a photo scavenger hunt in which he had to go around the school to find various elements to take pictures of.

Sidney (12) poses as she helps the intro to journalism students take pictures for their photo scavenger hunt. Sidney doesn't actually belong in Intro to Journalism class, she aides for Mrs. Samples during eighth hour.

RANDOM TANGENTS

So today was the worst day ever. Not really, I'm just exaggerating as usual, but I took a macroeconomics test over supply and demand and it was painful. Once again, I'm exaggerating, it wasn't actually PAINFUL but it was difficult.
I studied a while last night but no matter how much I tried to study it didn't help. I studied out of the book, off my notes, off random websites, and even off of Sparknotes.
The studying ended when I felt like throwing up. This time I'm serious, I literally felt like I was sick and I felt like I was going to throw up. It was horrible.So I quit my studies, and went to bed. Luckily I never actually threw up.
Okay so since I just went off in a random tangent about being sick, let me tell you why. I think it's because yesterday was a Quiver Food Day. (I capitalized it because it is a national holiday in my book). The room was FULL of sweets and I couldn't handle it. I had too much food in my system and perhaps this is why I felt like throwing up.
(I'm sorry that this post goes all over the place but I feel really slap happy since I haven't eaten ANYTHING yet today since I'm making up for eating too much yesterday).

Concentration

Nothing is more annoying than trying your hardest to concentrate and you cannot at all. I'm not ADD or ADHD but I just dedicated myself to AP Psychology for over an hour and I couldn't do a thing. I hoping my brain will change things up and allow me to study in the morning before my test in fourth hour.
I'm saying a little prayer that this will work. I have an A- and I cannot afford to receive a B in this class!
HELP!

It's time to kick it into gear...

So my New Year's Resolution was to read all my English books and I'm 0-1 right now, wait actually 1-1 right now. I didn't read Gulliver's Travels but I did read my poetry that I'm assigned. I have just started reading Frankenstein and that should be interesting. BUT I DON'T CARE IF I LIKE IT OR NOT BECAUSE I HAVE TO READ IT!
So by the end of next week I should be winning
2-1

Stuck in a Rut

Right now college is a pain in the butt. Here are my two options...
1. Go to IUN, be debt free, live at home, lack the college experience
2. Go to IUB, be filled with debt, live away, live the college life

I think I know my decision though it might surprise people.

Ahead of the Game

I came home right away today and finished working on my paper by 4:30 p.m. The good news is that my paper is not due till 9 p.m. tonight. I would turn it in now but I am waiting for my brother to finish proof reading it. Even though I still have more homework to do it feels good to get that HUGE stressor out of the way right now. 

college, college, college

College is a thing of it's own. It's expensive, unpredicable, and scary. Right now I'm in the process of hopefully waiting for a letter of acceptance to a local university, which I'm not scared of getting into. What I am nervous of is if I am eligable for receiving the full ride to Indiana University. Even though I technically don't NEED the full ride to the local college since it's not as expensive as a state university it would still be AMAZING to get that full ride.
p.s. my mom said if I get the full ride, she would buy me an apartment or something close to it to live in when I go to college.



AWESOME

I really need to...

I really need to update this blog, so here's an intricate and meaningful update.
This is an update.
love,
april dolores
