wow, either it goes like this for everyone’s senior year, or I am having a really good year. Things are just coming together really well. I got my ACT results back…while I didn’t do as well as I wanted to on the writing (I got an 8 despite my 10 and 9 on previous tests), I ended up with a 26, which is only a point under my initial goal, and three points higher than my last score. I was really pleased. It opened a whole bunch more scholarship options, and improves any more applications that I turn in, which is just going to be Alaska at Anchorage and Nebraska at Lincoln. So things of that nature are wrapping up…I have to pay the application fees and such and then it will be focussing on deciding and applying for housing and financial aid…especially scholarships. But enough about that.
Band is going well. I am super excited for all state band this weekend, it is going to be a blast. I have the possibility and it is my goal to get first chair becuase I will have a semi-solo if I do. I am just looking forward to it. If you looked at my previous post, you would know that I was speechless the night of the election. Words could not describe how excited I was and still am. I think that Barack is going to do some great things for this country. Obviously, my parents are not that excited…but boo on them…my dad didn’t even vote becuase he would have had to send in an absentee absentee ballot…or something like that.
Speech is going well. I won’t be able to go to any more tournaments until the middle of december because this weekend I have all state, next weekend is thanksgiving, the next weekend I am leading a retreat and one of the weeks that something isn’t going on, there is no tournament. So Daniel and I still have some time to perfect our duo and I still have some time to perfect my informative. I did take it to a tournament this weekend without the V.A.’s…and it went decently. I will have to put some work in it, and hopefully I will get to go to state for it, and then hopefully at least cat nats.
I am leading the Junior Encounter in December. I am looking forward to that. I am a co-rector…so I have some more free time and just get a good oppurtunity to get to know other seniors and just chill for a weekend. I am looking forward to it. I don’t have the speech I have to write done yet…and I can’t quite figure out a song. but I will get around to it eventually. I donated blood today…that’s always an interesting experience, becuase it’s never a comfortable one…but it’s for the better good. That’s why I do it. Unfortunately…I couldn’t get to sleep when I should have. I was running the rest of the day on 3 hours of sleep, some coffee, 2 oreos and missing a pint of blood. haha. If you can donate blood- you should. It’s an easy enough way to help those less fortunate in their health…and a phobia of needles doesn’t hold much water becuase you are reading the blog of by far one of the most squemish people alive. So that’s whats up with me. Things are just going…and they are going really fast, too fast. Post more later
Peace.
