I'm Scared

Let's be real here for a second, am I always scared of English...absolutely; but I have never been so scared for this grade before...the final. The final is 35% of my grade this semester and it is 100 points. Save me please. 

Dear English Gods, please bless me with at least a C please. That would make my senior year amazing. 

In the end, whatever happens I just want to end up with a C in the class.

So all in all, I just want to perserve my grade somehow.

My new desire

So about two weeks ago, my grandparents asked me what I want for graduation (gift wise) and I said I didn't know at the moment. But now I'm starting to think...I don't know how expensive they are willing to go with the price.
You see, I really really really want "The New iPad" but the one I want it $599.
I obviously know that they aren't going to pay for all of that but it would be awesome if some of that was paid off.
I understand how greedy I sound right now, but here are some reasons why the iPad would be so beneficial for my life at the moment...
1. It is more compact than my macbook
2. I can get all my textbooks through my iPad and they will become interactive
3. Notes will be easier to take than writing them in a notebook
4. I can easily use iCloud to connect my phone, computer, and iPad
5. It would be really convenient and fun to use!
Those reasons are good enough, aren't they!?
Well I know, I sound needy and greedy, but what can I say? It's just what a incoming freshman girl wants. 

38 days....
that's all I have to say...

Okay, so here I am...

Since nothing drastic has happened in my life for the past week, here is an update with bullet points to make everything simple to read...
1. my tattoo isn't happening anymore =(  (my mother said no)
2. I'm going to get my belly button pierced on friday instead
3. I just painted my nails red (it looks so classy)
4. I'm on a plateau with my weight loss =/
5. I'm running....ALOT (and it feels good to sweat again)
6. quiver is going well, I have my life under control in there for  once
7. My Scout news magazine page is due Friday, and I haven't even started...
8. I graduate in two months, two weeks, and three days.
9. I go on my vacation on the gulf in two months, two weeks, and five days.
10. I've lost a total of 12.5 pounds since February 26

So there's an update on April Dolores's life. Just comment if you have any exciting questions!

How much is left?

In exactly two months, three weeks, and two days from now I will be walking across the stage at the Star Plaza.
The lights will be bright, the staff will be welcoming, and there will be thousands of people staring at me when I grab the diploma out of a powerful school board member's hand.
I will be graduating in just that little amount of time.
It's weird to think that it's been seven years since I moved here in fifth grade, and now I'm leaving twelvth grade already.
This is probably the most cliche post I've ever done, but it's seriously SO WEIRD!

And on top of the fact that the year is almost over, Quiver is almost over! (Quiver is the publication here at my school) They are having editor interviews this week and it's so crazy! Just to think that only a year ago I was in their shoes as well, except that year feels like a month.
It's just amazing how fast time goes by when your busy and focusing on the future.
From this point on in the year, I will be focusing on everything in the present before I start thinking about the future (especially since my grades are kind of suffering right now and colleges are looking at them to see if I'm eligable for more scholarships)
