I dunno I couldn't think of a better journal title.
So yeah, once again I've neglected this thing XP haha.
Anyway, uhhh what has happened lately? Well, I've submitted applications to my colleges, and this month I start sending out some stuff.  I'm hoping to go to Otis College of Art and Design or Moore College of Art and Design.  I like both of them a lot, the only downside is that Otis is all the way in Los Angeles, and that is verrrrrrrrrrrry far away from where I live (which is DC area yupyup) whereas Moore is in Philly, which is much closer.  Also, Moore is an all girls art school, and I think it would take some getting used to being around ONLY chicks o_o but yeah, I dunno we'll see where I get accepted to.
Other than that I don't really have anything else to update on.

Lol yeah, I haven't updated this shiznit in a while.

I really need some more Livejournal fwends :(  I feel so lonely when I get on here, lol the only thing I do is check my communities XD
So anyway, I've started senior year.  It's alright so far, and I'm actually doing really well in school :D (well I kinda have to too, since my GPA is in the dumps and I need to increase it). But yeah, I've also started my applications, I'm real excited! I can't wait to go to collegeeeeeeeeeee.

Anyway, I'm just gonna do a quick update, other than that, not much has been happening.

Jooohooo!

Anyway, been a while since I updated this, it's about time :D
So Austria was awesome.  Not going to write about it, because I already did a Vlog about it on Youtube, and I told the story to my friends lots of times, so I'm kinda tired of talking about it :/
But yeah, I have to go for my senior photo retakes on Tuesday, because I was too lazy to go the first time.  At first I was like, "Fuck it, I'm not taking those photos, I don't care about my yearbook and I want to stay as far away from school as possible until it's time to go back!" however, my plan failed because my mum did find out about my retakes (she found the paper they sent to me in the mail) and she's forcing me to go, because it's part of the "senior tradition" and I should do it :/ Screw traditions, I really don't give two shits, I just want to get my school year done with, so I can go to college and never look back at this stupid town, stupid state, and all the stupid people here.

So yeah, that's all for now, I need to update this more often D:

Ugh.

So I decided to weigh myself today because I've been planning on losing a few pounds before leaving for Austria right? I step on the scale, and the nice little number of 164 greets my eyes.  I'm in complete shock right now; I can't believe how much I let myself go this year.  I was at 139 at the beginning of the year, after a summer of working out and super healthy eating, and looking towards finally reaching my goal of 121 and 33", 24" 33" measurements.  I can't even describe how PISSED I am at myself; I should have seen the warning signs, by January when a few of my pants stopped fitting and new stretch marks came out. Ugh, just, UGH.  This is what I really needed though; now that I know how much I gained, I'm in full gear to get rid of it and finally get down to my healthy weight.  I've been having problems with my weight since I was 10, and honestly I'm really sick of not being able to wear what I like because I can't fit in it.  I'm also tired of being short of breath just by climing one staircase; I mean, I've been doing it the WHOLE fucking year, seriously, it shouldn't be this bad.  But yeah, I'm in full battle mode now, and I'm planning on losing 10 pounds every week until Austria (which is only two weeks away, obviously if I did anymore weeks I would kill myself) My mom's doing it for her trip to England, she lost 10 pounds in a week too, so she's giving me the same food she eats and her excercise routine.  I'm planning on eating healthy even in Austria.  I don't have a temptation with sweets and chocolates, and I don't eat meat, so for the most part my eating will be healty (I also stay away from things with too much butter, cream, etc; my stomach can't handle stuff like that).  So yeah, this summer I'm definately buckling up. 

Other than that, school is sucky as usual.   Our school is getting out June 24th (super late as fucking usual) while everyone else has already gotten out.  Seriously, we are the only school in the damn county that is STILL going.  The teachers are pissed, and the students are pissed about that, yet those pigs never listen to any of us.  Even the teachers admit this to us.  They're also talking about fucking up the schedule next year, apparently they want to change the schedule from block classes, to having every single class everyday for 40 minutes.  Yet at the same time, they want to make 3rd period a BLOCK CLASS. How the FUCK is that going to work?? Also it seems those stiff bastards are FINALLY going to approve the 10 point grading scale for us next year (EX: 90-100 is an A, what we have is that 94-100 is an A) and honestly, it's about fucking time, we're (once again) the only school in the county and area that uses the dumb scale we have.  I'm so sick of this damn school, the people are shit (and no I am not exaggerating when I say this, I have friends who have attended MANY, MANY schools, and they all tell me that this is the worst one because of the people, and hell, we even have a reputation in other schools for having shitty people!)  the administration is shit, the school board is shit.  We may have a fancy shmancy building, and "green" technology, but our academics suck, we even LOST our accreditation two years ago, and according to statistics we saw from the school, most people here have a reading level that is from 2nd grade to 6th grade (how the FUCK they made it to high school, I have no idea).  I swear I'm so glad next year is my final year.  This school and the shit people in it can all go to hell.

Yeah, today I finally took the SAT.  My gods it was so painful having to get up at six.....on a SATURDAY. Waghhh and then I got there at 7, and we had to wait outside for an hour because the teachers in my school said they weren't ready yet.  I was like, "WTF MATE" srsly, I could have been using that hour to sleep D:<  But yeah, it was pretty interesting because I got to see Chita, who's one of my friend's friends who goes to a different school (she's really cool!) and then I saw my friend Aishwarya who goes to ANOTHER school, but I didn't get to say hi to her, she was too far away by the time I saw her :(  But yeah, I also recognized other people from other schools, it was weird, then I got to see all the pretentious kids who go to Episcopal (the nearby private boarding school) Ughh, most of them literally had their noses in the air D8 But yeah, the SAT was actually pretty easy, even the math part wasn't too bad, and I was expecting to not know anything lol.  I skipped a couple of problems, but for the most part I got more answers down than I did on the PSAT XD  I didn't finish writing my essay though :O whoops.

But yeah, as long as I get enough for art school, I don't care. 

-floats away-

Gahhh, I woke up this morning with a horrendous sore throat, a stuffed nose, and my ears pounding >.< Ughhh I had a sore throat for a few days, but I just thought it might have been allergies D: Well I was definately wrong.  I'm also really dizzy, and my body feels really hot to the touch, yet my temperature is only 99F :/ Anyway, I still have to go to school tomorrow anyway DX

......I don't even know if I spelled canneloni right.

Anyway.

I really do need to start using Livejournal more, I always have so much stuff on my mind to write about, and yet here sits my journal, rotting as usual.

I realize my last entry is when I started school, and now there's only a month left of school for me XD But yeah, long story short, I ended up getting different teachers than I thought (I got Ms. Rousseau AGAIN for Art, and I might have her AGAIN next year since Doc is retiring.....ughhhh I love that woman, but three years with her is too much).  My grades are still not good (wasn't that uber smart? Fucking up my Junior year as well.....gods I'm such a 'tard). So now all I can do is make a kick ass portfolio, and do good the first few quarters of senior year.  Also that exchange trip to Austria in the summer is gonna look good on my application.  But yeah, I found out the colleges I wanna apply to actually have high acceptance rates, so I have a chance.  Anyways, I just wrote this to add some more, eh, stuff to my journal, hopefully later or tomorrow I'll have my thoughts in place so I can write something decent.

Yeah school is about to start on Tuesday.
I'm kind of nervous, glad, and unhappy.
Glad because now I'll actually have something to, and I'll get to see some of my friends I don't normally see.
I'm unhappy though because that means probably more drama to deal with this year (even though I always stay out of it, it still affects me either way), and also have stress put on because of classes.
And nervous...just cause I'm always nervous before school starts XD
So yeah, I found out my first period is Ms. Fitch's class, which is fucking AWESOME since she is an awesome English teacher (and the lady who runs GSA too ;D) so I'm happy about that, since having her everyday won't be bad, unlike when I had Massong last year.
And I got the paper with my classes on it (I had kinda forgotten what I had picked lol XD) so I'm taking:
AP US History
Honors English 11 (I know I have Ms. Fitch for this one)
Algebra 2
Astronomy
Art 3 (I have that blond haired lady.....don't remember her name)
German 2 (I have Frau Mayer again this year)
Commercial Design (I have Ms. Appleby, I've heard she's nice)

So yeah the rest of my teachers I'll find out once I get my schedule on the first day. It sucks that unlike the rest of the schools here, my school doesn't actually send out your full schedule in the mail >.< I dunno if they like surprising us or something, but surprises aren't always a good thing :/
