School and Awards

Greetings.


Senior. Year. Starts. TOMORROW. BEGIN FREAK OUT SESSION NOW!!!!! I cannot believe that I'm going to be a senior! I mean, college admissions, scholarships, admissions essays, SATs, ACTs, migraines, jobs, I think I'm hyperventilating just THINKING ABOUT IT! I'm kind of scared. I mean, I have no idea what life is like outside of school. (Summer doesn't count) I have to get a job or else I lose my baby Kermit, I'm going to college in a year, and I'm going to live life on my own. I don't know anything! I'm smart, but I don't know how to work with the real world. I ALREADY HATE SENIOR YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!

... Okay, I have calmed down now. Last night I went to an awards ceremony similar to the Tonys for my community theater group, the group with whom I performed ALICE IN WONDERLAND. Anyways, I won something. I was nominated for Best Leading Actress for my role as The Witch for INTO THE WOODS. I won a Spirit of Junior Theater Award for exemplifying all that Junior Theater stands for. (I didn't win Best Actress. However, the only girl I would have been alright with winning won, so I'm better than I would have been if someone else had won it.) The best part about winning it was that BENTLEY WON IT WITH ME! The award goes to the boy AND the girl who exemplifies all the wonderful qualities they want and we made a speech together. It was really awesome! I opened with, "Just for the record, I am older. But he's cuter so it doesn't matter much." (I said that because he's five feet, eleven inches and I am only five feet, four and a half inches tall.) It was pretty good.

Joseph was there. Nothing was out of the ordinary, but something he said at church today made me uneasy. He said he didn't put too much emotional stock in things just in case it didn't work out the way he planned. What if he doesn't put too much emotional stock into the fact that I am practically in love with him? What if he doesn't care? I think that may be even worse...

Senior Schedule

Greetings.


Well, I can safely say that I don't think my senior year is going to go like I planned. My schedule that I had personally planned had gone as follows: 12AP English, Gov/Econ CP, Spanish 4AP, Concert Choir, Teacher Aide, Library Science Aide. My ideal year. I was so psyched. It was what I had been waiting all of high school for.

Apparently, I can't have two aide periods. My counselor said I had to pick another elective or take another year of (gulp) math. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's like making George W. Bush think! I hate it! SO now I have several options, most of which I hate and the other little bit I can only tolerate. Treble (beginning women's) Choir; more chances of a solo, however, it's blindingly easy so it's boring and I'd have no friends in there. Forensics; I hate memorization but both Stan and Claire would most likely be there. Period off; I could still help my librarian, Mrs. Yates, but i want credits. Screenwriting; I wouldn't mind doing it but I am unsure if the film teacher is having that class next year and again no friends. Math; DEFINITELY NOT. Art; Bev says I'd be miserable but I doodle when I'm bored in class. But the only thing I'm good at is close-ups of people's hands.

I so want to cry. I really wanted to help both Mrs. Shikomu and Mrs. Yates. My counselor says that she'll ask around to see if I can do both. I pray that I can. It's my ideal schedule. Sigh... On the plus side today, I won my first game of BS. Joseph was a sore loser; he was one card away from winning himself and he was sitting right next to me. He poked me in the side and we did a quick round of Poke Wars. (squeal)
