Summer or not?

Okay, so it has been a week since I have been out of school and it feels like I should have school tomorrow. Has summer even started? So that Humanities test i was talking about, I got a 90% on the Aeneid test, a 95% on my Rome History test for Humanities, and a 100% on my Humanities final. I was pretty proud of myself, but i could have done better on the tests. My final Humanities grade is a 93%. Oh, and that Biology paper, didn't get to write it. I got an 87% (terrible) on my Bio final. I still got a 91% in that class which is actually really bad for me, but good for other people. In French I got a 99%. wtf. i always got a 100% in that class. Whatever. I got a 100% on my geometry final so that is good, my ending grade is a 100%. And then i got a 100% in gym and band so I did okay. This quarter was the worst of mine in all my classes except geometry. That is okay, I made it through my first year of high school, my first year of Humanities, and my first year of history day. So I feel kind of good about how the year ended.

So, the day after the last day of school was Saturday, and guess what I did. I went to cheerleading camp for my school team. WOAH!! It was amazing! There was drama every day, and my stunt group did amazing! (Can anyone tell I am being sarcastic?) hahaha well that was hot and cold and dry and rainy, and hailing. I tried out for "All-American" but didn't make it. I made All-Stars every year, but this year they only picked seniors so it sucked for me being a sophomore.

It wasn't all that of a disaster because it taught me that I won't get everything in life. Some people are so babied that they can never face disappointment. This one girl I know didn't make it one year so she refused to try out again because she doesn't want to fail. Her mom hands her everything, and its very annoying. The one day at camp she couldn't find something when it was sitting right on top of her bed. My coach said oh, your mom is not here to find it and baby you. It was sooooo funny because her mom is always there and is a control freak. My parents don't really care. Like they do, its not like they are sucky and don't discipline me, but they let me do things on my own. They allow me to feel success that I created all by myself. If they were always there to do things for me I don't know if I would have been able to do it by myself again. My parents allowed me to feel failure and not baby me and buy me things to make me feel better. They allowed me to pick myself up, brush myself off, and try again. I feel very good about how my parents raised me, because it allowed me to feel more mature quicker, but not a total grown up.

So I might talk about this again, because it is kind of late and I have a lot of feelings on how my parents raised me compared to others. But.....

I came home from camp and the next day I left for Great Wolf Lodge with my Aunt Sue, Uncle Robbie, Robbie, Emily, and my brother Adam. It was sooo fun there and the place was amazing. I wish I could go back a different week ;), because it was nerve racking. We stayed there Wednesday and Thursday. And after I got home, my mom took me for a hair cut. Talking about those things would be a blog post in their own. Then, I went to Elena Twist's Grandfather's wake. Rest In Peace Joseph Orrson.

Today, I stayed at home and did nothing. I cleaned my room and unpacked. It was a very relaxing day. Now I'm ready to walk 3 miles at my brothers senior project tomorrow morning. It will be fun and I am really in the mood to run/walk. Afterward I have my cousin's graduation party and then my family's friend's graduation party.

As you can see, I had almost no time to relax and enjoy summer. I cannot wait until the summer feelings set in and I have fun.

"Take your time in life and enjoy the little things. Time will fly by and you can never get it back so do not wish the time away."

UGGGG

Okay, so I know i haven't posted in a while, but don't worry, I am here. The reason i haven't been posting is because I am packed loaded with homework, and other stupid things.

Well, right now, I am writing a Biology paper for extra credit and making a study guide for my Humanities test. This stinks. They are both due tomorrow, but I haven't even started either yet. The Biology paper I am not so worried about, but the test I am freaked out about.

The last time I posted we were in the middle of reading the epic The Iliad. I took the test on that and got a 94. Now we are reading The Aeneid by Virgil. In our class we didn't have enough time to read the epic and do questions on each book (another word for chapter) because school is almost out. There are 12 books in the epic, and we only had 13 nights to read the whole thing before the test. Stupid right?? Well instead of just reading we were split into groups of 4 and we had to dissect one book. My group was assigned Book 3. So I read Book 3, but no other ones. The teacher said the test will only contain things discussed in the Power Points we made. Well, she is pregnant and her mood changes. Her test is containing of 10 quotes that we have to interpret, symbols, figurative language, epithets (renaming of characters)(so not only is the book confusing enough, some characters have like 5 different names), Character identification, and a mythology packet. Long I know. The test takes us and hour and 45 minutes, no lie. And this one is like our final and is worth 125 points. I hate this class and all of the tests and pregnant teachers.

As you can see I have a whole lot to study, so i have to go do that. I'll post again and let you know how I did on the test!
