Yay! Just thought I would put a pointless post to celebrate my 100th post on blogger. It's an exciting day for me. Not just because it's my one hundredth post, but because I booked my vacation! I'll update you later about it!

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)

Three things I want to do by the time I graduate (or during spring break)
1. Chalk my hair (I could do this tomorrow if i wanted to)
2. Get a white tattoo (I'm still thinking this one through cause I'm not sure exactly what I want yet)
3. Get my belly button pierced (I know I don't have the body for this, but Istill want it!)
So there you go everyone. These are my new resolutions for my senior plans. Considering I'm not the rebel type, this is a big commitment for me, and I'm excited. I'm also excited that I finally get to use the law to my advantage considering I'm an adult (and have been for a year). I'm looking for suggestions on what else I could do the end my senior year of high school and start my freshman year of college.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

notecards, notecards, notecards
So its 1:41 a.m. right now and I'm still up. Why you may ask?
Well let me tell you...
I got home from working after school at 4:00 p.m. and I was exhausted so I decided to take a nap up in my room. Little did I know that I was going to fall asleep for three and a half hours...
And little did I plan that I would be up for HOURS studying for AP Psychology for a linguistics and developmental test tomorrow.
Six hours later, I'm about ready to wrap up the hard working night and go to sleep. But then I realize that my vocabulary notecards are due tomorrow (yes, my teacher checks them like we are three yrs. old, but it's easy points). For safety purposes, I decided to check to make sure I had them.
Without a doubt or a worry in my mind I nonchalantly pull out my notecards but realize I'm missing half of a chapter. I quickly look through my notecard holder (yes, indeed I have one of those) and they're not there. Then I look through my Myers Psychology book, and they aren't there either. I look through my folder, and yet again they are not there.
Destine to find these M.I.A notecards I decided to double and triple check EVERYWHERE for these notecards. My main goal was to not have to go back and rewrite an hours worth of pointless work. Then I decide to look for the forth time and I found them!
Guess where they were...
They were in my hand...
Just kidding, but that would have been extremely funny; but no...
They were in my book. I just didn't see them all FOUR TIMES I LOOKED!
I guess even with the over abundance of caffeine in my system, I still cannot function at two in the morning.

Deadline Week
So as my fellow editor, Elena, said...
"Deadline week, there's a reason the word dead is in it."
And that is in fact true!!
It was just as stressful as the other two deadlines that we have had already.
And since we are finished (well not technically, but it's a long story so lets not talk about it) I decided to reward myself with some retail therapy.
Here is how I rewarded myself...
I got this new magnetic nailpolish called Layla Magneffect.
My first try didn't turn out so well, but I'm learning how to use it and it's looking so cool.
It's about $15.99 (expensive, I know)
But I thought that I needed it after a stressful week at Quiver.
By the way, I would totally recommend this to anyone, it's that awesome.

It's almost one o'clock in the morning and...
It's almost one o'clock in the morning and I'm still up.
Why?
Well it's deadline week (enough said) and I got home at 8:15ish today and I have a paper due Friday.
But April, why would you worry about a paper due Friday when today is only Wednesday?
Well let me explain this one to you.
As I have already stated, this week is deadline week. Pages are due on Friday for the plant. Out of the twenty-seven spreads we are turning in Friday, thirteen have to be fixed due to problems. So that means that we have to recheck thirteen spreads again tomorrow night. Which means that it will be a late night tomorrow. Which then means that I have to finish my paper tonight because my paper is due at nine o'clock tomorrow night.
So all in all, I HAD TO DO MY PAPER TONIGHT.
There was no other option, believe me, because if there was a way out of doing this paper tonight I would have found that escape route and jumped right out of it.
So adios amigos, I'm going to bed!
