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.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

It's the most wonderful time of the year 
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer" 
It's the most wonderful time of the year 
It's the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings 
When friends come to call 
It's the hap- happiest season of all 

Okay, sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm not talking about Christmas time (even though I wish I was). 

I am being extremely sarcastic, as I usually am. 

Right now ISN'T  the most wonderful time of the year...it's FINALS WEEK.

I don't really have any scantron finals to take they are all critiques, power points, written responses, and performance binders. 

 

But all my skills will be tested tomorrow when I triumph the AP English 12 final. It's all free response and I'm scared to death. So wish me luck and I'll go break a leg. Actually...if I break a leg will it get me out of taking the test?

Evansville

This weekend I will be going all the way from northwest Indiana all the way down to Evansville.

Yep, you saw it...This is how far I have to drive this weeked to get to my brothers tourney. Isn't this insane! Why am I going? I have no idea, well yeah I do, and it's because I plan on getting a lot of reading done while I'm there. On top of the reading, it's going to be beautiful out there this weekend.

I'll be stuck in the car for five hours and thirty-three minutes. Save me please.

Five hours and thirty-three minutes in the car with my brother and my mother. I love being with my mom so it's good that I'm not stuck in the car with someone I won't talk to. I offered to drive some of the way so my mom isn't driving to whole five and a half hours, but she said she would be extremely stresses out if I was driving. I understand though, because I wouldn't want my 18-year-old daughter driving for three hours on the highway yet either.
And on the way back up from from Evansville, we have to go to Lafayette for another game...
Isn't my brother's soccer schedule insane!? It's worth it in the end though, because he is getting much better, and his team is ranked second in state, that's always good!

Finals

Today in Economics (before I completely passed out in class) my teacher passed around the end of the year finals schedule. Being the senior that I am, we have finals one day early this year, which in turn means that finals start next Thursday! I can't believe it! Next week will be the start to the end of my high school career.
In other news...
Today I turned in my last high school paper ever in AP English 12.
Today I took my last set of notes for a test in Economics.
Tomorrow I start my last presentation in high school tomorrow.
This weekend I finish my last high school books ever assigned.
Wow...this is coming quick.
This is a really cliche and cheesy saying but...
High school goes by in the blink of an eye.

400 Words

Tonight is the official due date of my movie comparison paper. I am supposed to compare the 1953 War of the Worlds with the 2005 War of the Worlds. This may seem like a simple task but it isn't when you have a word limit of 400 words!
This is an extremely difficult task for me considering I am an extremely excessive writer. I am never concise with my writing. It's a curse. Luckily I know exactly what I'm writing about. The 1953 War of the Worlds is about the Cold War and the 2005 War of the Worlds is about the terrorist attacks on 9/11. I have a solid basis it's just the concept of fitting all of the information I have together in 400 words
Wish me luck.

Dear Wad...

I am currently writing this blog to receive full credit on my Intro to Journalism blog grade. So here it is.
To add a little bit of interest to this blog I will talk about my final project that I am doing.
I am doing a project about redheads. It will be a magazine spread all about them. Currently I am trying to make an awesome design with a photoshoped/photo illustration picture and use text wrap, brushes, and graphics to make it look beautiful.
Considering I'm not the designer type person, this will be interesting.
Well there you go Wad!

Job Interview Numero Uno

At 2:45 p.m. today I started out my first job interview. It was a good experience, I had a great interviewer and I was a great interviewee, but there was one problem...
To be a waitress at TGI Fridays, you have to have a liqueur serving license.
And guess what?
You have to be nineteen to get that.
And guess what?
I'm not nineteen yet.
And guess what?
They couldn't hire me because of that.
But in the  end, the interviewer, Mike, said that he liked me and that I should definitely come back to talk to the store on June 13 (when I turn nineteen).
So that's the first story that happened around 2:45-3:00 p.m.
Directly before I got out of my car to go to my TGI Fridays interview I checked my email casually. And guess what I got?
I got another job interview at Macy's Cosmetics Department to be a beauty consultant!
I'm so excited!
I know, I know...
An interview doesn't mean anything, but it does mean that they are interested in me, which makes me excited.
I NEED A JOB! And I need to hurry up fast considering all the college kids are coming home this week and they are going to be taking all the jobs!
Anyways, I have the Macy's interview on Tuesday at 4:30. So once again...
Any interviewing tips anyone?
