well it's been 3 months since I have last updated, so there is a lot for me to fill everyone in on!!! Of course I wouldn't bore everyone with all of that though. I love Marquette! I really feel at home here and have for a while. Don't get me wrong, I defintely have my days of being self-consious and thinking that I don't fit it, but then I spend some time with my friends here and all those worries go away. I am doing well in all of my classes. I could strive for better grades, and study a little more, but overall I am pretty content with how I am doing. I have a solid group of friends here who I can be my sarcastic self with, a very important thing for me. The only sad thing about being away, is that I feel so disconnected to my friends from home. As awful as it sounds, I often times do not have time for them. I am in my own little bubble here, and its hard to break outside of that. So to my friends, you all are still so important to me, and I miss you all so much. I wish I called more often, which is something I will work on. Well, my english paper is calling. I just that I would fill some people in, becuase NO, i havent fallen off the earth.
Stacy- how are you? I havent spoken to you in soooo long.

I havent updated in a long time, sorry. I am in a good mood though becuase I just got my haircut and got like $30 worth of shampoo and conditioner (my favorite kind) for only $10. It is the expensive salon shampoo too. Haha, wow what a pointless entry. before I leave, I will post some words of wisdom.

Oh yeah, I got an e-mail from my roommate yesterday. Marquette hasn't sent me anything yet, but they must've sent her my info. Her name is Tiffany and she is from NY. I hope we get along. . .
Happy 4th of July everyone!

Yesterday I had preview for school. I am really excited to go to school, and nervous at the same time. I am sooo ready to get there though and leave Homewood, it's not like anyone wants to hang out with me here anyways. I am nervous about picking my classes because I don't want to take too many general courses and not a lot that may go into my major (which of course I am not sure about) I am alsop nervous because I don't know how difficult everything will be and I can't afford not to have a B average, because if I don't I lose my scholarship which translates to me coming home. I also don't want to make my schedule too easy because I am afraid that if I do, I will continuosly expect that and then be screwed when I have to work very hard. Gosh, and the whole money factor is definitely setting in. I have absolutely no idea how I am going to pay for this. But, besides all the downsides, I am sooo pumped. I met some people yesterday, and I decided that I am not going to be shy at all when I get there. I am just sooo ready for it. 2 months and three days. . .

The Perks of Being a Wallflower was such a great book. I believe that anyone can relate to something written in the book, and it also offers you a lot of perspective.

I got my room assignment for next year, and I got placed on the CommUNITY floor. .. yay!!! I didn't find out about my roommate though, and the lady e-mailed me back and said they take applications for CommUNITY throughout the summer, so I have yet to be placed with a roommate yet. Hopefully I find out soon. Ahh I am soooo excited for college!

Grrrr. . . The lady from the JCC called and offered me a job as a kindergarten counselor because they had more people sign up, and I wanted to take the job, but I couldnt. I would have had to weasle my way out of next weeks schedule as well as change my availablility and I was just promoted this week, so I don't think that would have gone over well. I guess Cunha is mad, haha. If she would have only called one week ago. But then she called back and asked if I would like to sub, and I said yes. Well, my second job hunting continues. . .

So 1st weekend of being out of school passed and I didn't hang out with anyone. Friday night I had to wrok and when I came home, I literally sat down and fell asleep. I was still in my work clothes. Then Saturday I had to work again. Sunday I worked at 6 am and then I went to my aunts in Lake Barrington for my grandmother's 90th birthday. My aunt and uncle live in a gated neighborhood with a marina, golf course, a lot of tennis courts, basketball court, fitness center, indoor and outdoor pools, walking paths. Haha they are rich. The neighborhood is actually like town-homes, but very nice, $500,000 town homes. I got to see my aunt from Texas, who i havent seen in a few years so that was cool. I got a Christmas present too. (That's how little I see this side of my family). I got a case with a lot of really nice makeup and a Bobbi Brown makeup book. I have been trying to organize a lot of my Marquette stuff too. Oh yeah, I have a facebook now too, hopefully i will be able to meet some people from Marquette on it. I am also really excited because in a week or two i am getting my room assignment along with my roomate, and then we can talk about who is bringing what and then I can shop!!!! On Wed, Olivia and I are going to see The Sisterhood Of the Taveling Pants, who wants to come with us? We will probably go during the day, because I am cheap. I am sooo excited for the movie, it looks just as good as the book. Okay, well I am off, someone give me a call tongiht so I can actually hang out with people!!!!

9:00 am - It's over.
|

So yesterday was it. No more high school for me. The period was finally placed at a 4-year long sentence. Throughout the day I definitely shed some tears. It was hard to say goodbye to all my journalism juniors because we have been together since J1. Senior Edition was really good. I feel like it portrayed our class perfectly, and the right people had the anchor jobs. Stacy-even though you were really crying, you looked soooo CUTE during the food fight. Journalism was so much more than just a class for me. Through all the complaints and everything else, I think I learned the most from it. I learned about deadlines and responsibility. I made friends with people who I wouldnt have had another chance to meet. I learned a lot! The hardest part about saying goodbye to high school is that we are saying goodbye to our comfort zone. Soon we will be thrown into a university, where is some classes you are just recognized by a number. There will no longer be such a strong unity among the students. I will not have grown up with the people around me. But, I am ready for change and I am looking forward to it. It's time that I start a new chapter in my life, because after all, high school is over now!!!

I remember making an insightful post on my birthday, and now seems to be a fitting time. We are 5 days away from the end of high school and I don't think I have realized that yet. With all the excitement and countdown, most of us are forgetting htat we will most likely never see a lot of these people again after graduation. These people and the environment that we were brought up in have shaped us into who we are. I am excoted to move on to larger things because I think that I am ready. Most people have stated their reasons as to why they hate H-F, as I am guilty of it as well. But, what we are forgetting are all the oppurtunities that we were presented with as well, which is mostly becuase of all the people we encountered there, the same people that we will be saying goodbye to shortly. I have been working on my application for the CommUNITY floor at Marquette next year, and I have realized that I was lucky to go to school with people of so many differnt cultures. I believe that I definitely have a positive outlook on the idea of diversity because it allows for everyone to respect each other. Looking back I have a few regrets on how I spent my high school years, but overall I am happy with what they were and who I became becuase of them. I am leaving high school with a solid group of friends, a sense of responsibility, as well as pride. I am walking away holding my head up high because I am proud of myself. Surely, I have slacked off here and there, but I believe that I worked hard and it showed. Although it sounds goofy, but this weekend I have been doing my homework and I have found some joy in it. Joy from it being the last work I will need to complete in school for 3 months, as well as joy in it being done well. I will head off to college with a strong sense of work ethic, because upon the partying and everything else that will be happening at school, I am going there to learn. At times college will be tough, but I want to learn as much as I can and therefore do the best that I can with whatever path I take. The main message that I am trying to get across is I hope that everyone enjoys this last week of school. Make it out to be the best that it can be, but still work hard. A strong finish will bring a strong start for next year when the work will be heavier and more difficult.

2:58 pm - Prom!!!! -warning- it long!!! (and not written well)
|
Prom was a lot of fun. I am soooo glad that I went, and I didn't even think about that I didnt have a date like at all. Everyone looked great, I can't wait to get my pictures back. Afterwards we went to the Cheesecake factory, soooo good. And then we went over to Myk's. Had a lot of fun. Sophia hit her head soooo hard on the table. Then we woke up for a 9:00 train that didnt exist, so we chilled and then caught the 10:30 one. Got back, Olivia got ready for camping, then I did, then we grocery shopped. Met up with the other car and we were off. When we got up to the campsite we saw Dominni and her group waiting by the entrance. We checked in and then setup camp. Then we just chilled, built a fire, made hamburgers and hotdogs and such. Then the group did some exploring and Elizabeth and I stayed back and watched the fire. About an hour later they all came back and they found this monstrous dune. We went and climber it. It was soooo hard. I am gonna have such firm calves from it. We got to the top and decided to head to the other end. It got sooo dark and we had trouble finding our way back. It turns out we were walking and climbing for 3 hours!!!! Then we setlled around the fire and there were soooooooo many racoons. Travis was soooo scared. We had to put the fire out early because of all the racoons. We went to our tents, heard racoons fighting, then finally fell asleep. We woke up (it was sooooo cold) and built a fire. Went up the dunes again, checked out and then went out to the beach. Hung out for a while and took pictures and then came home. It was a really fun weekend. I am really happy I went with these people and also that I went.
Random things from the weekend.
Racoon growls
