Day One

Now if some of you were missing the juniors in school today (which I know you were ), you may have noticed that they weren't school today, and won't be for the next two weeks.
But if you're lucky, you may see  a junior walking up the stairs to the sixth floor.
And if you're wondering what we're doing, we're creating a piece of theater for our trip to Scotland, and we're affectionately known as the Scotland group.
And today was day one of creating our piece of theater.
No I can't say much, and you guys are pretty much going to have to wait till we perform on June 8th.
But  I will say, that beginning of the process of making monologues, and writing two paged scenes on the infrastructure of America has been a unique and exciting challenge.
So the Scotland group has a great start, and I hope that all juniors enjoyed Day One of their internships.
Until next time.

We're Not Done Yet

They say that your high school career never gets harder than the end of junior year. 
I don't whether or not to be relieved or terrified.
Maybe it's safe to be both.
All I know is that I could have sworn that this Monday was the last day of school, because that AP bio test was one of the hardest tests  I took in my entire life.
So hard, in fact, that I had this sudden and burning urge to go home afterwards and immediately start my summer.
But no. AP Bio students trudged downstairs to lunch, through the rest of the day, and the rest of the days left in the week. 
Ad that's when i realized:
We're not done yet. 
It feels like it, but we still have so much left to accomplish this year.
We have a research paper due, internships, the June SAT and SAT II's, Regents exams, finals, AND THEN the end of the year.
So as much as all of us feel like we've never studied as much in our lives as we did for AP exams, and that junior year can't get anymore stressful than that, let's remember:
We're not done yet.

I Almost forgot I had a blog

Wow talk about ages. How long has it been?  mean, a few people have come up to me in the last few weeks, wondering about my blog but that seems like ancient history now.
Last time I wrote on here I was talking about hair or something. I don't even remember.
It' fourth quarter now. The spring musical came and went, along with the end of quarter three. now I'm drafting a research paper about war propaganda in World war I, and  getting ready for AP exams. Not to mention Internships almost around the corner. Before I know it, I'll be in Scotland.
And it doesn't feel like it.
I still remember the first day, with the speech on leadership, when I met my teachers and marveled at the fact the I was in two AP classes.
Now look at me.A Sunior, getting ready to take the SAT for a second time, making my college list n collegiate prep, hearing about all the classes we'll have next year.
Needless to say, I've been extremely busy, working harder than I've had to work in my whole life. At least that's how it feels.
I'm just glad I remembered that I have my blog, because my life seems to be going faster than the words that I'm typing right now., and trust me, I don't want to miss a thing.
