SENIORITIS!!!

It has been FOREVER!!! I was starting to go crazy from blog separation syndrome (okay, I know. Bad joke)!
   So a whole lot has happened since I posted "Tesser"ing feet. I am now a  senior of Westville high school, I am applying to NSU and, unfortunately, due to Internet issues, I didn't get to write you about my ACT experience back in October. It's just as well, wasn't that interesting anyway.
All of this college prep stuff is going to kill me. I have applied and taken the ACT once (22 composite score), I have applied to two (will be three when the NSU admissions office returns my E-mail) schools (neither of them the one I actually decided I WANT to attend), and have had three very uncomfortable and stressful conversations with my father about priorities and money and jobs and cars (well one car specifically).  There are about three major highlights of my Senior year. The first one being my Secret Pal(s). At my school they started this program a while back that allows the staff at the school essentially sponsor a senior throughout the year. They can buy you gifts, put money toward your activities and things (like Senior picture day, buying your T-shirt, or your Senior trip) my Secret Pal(s) has done all of those things (except the shirt. I bought my shirt). They gave me twelve days of Christmas last month (not "The" Twelve Days of Christmas, but they got me things I would actually like) on top of the twelve days of Christmas got me accessories for my senior trip and then paid off the last of what I owed (guess who is spending her spring break on a beach in Florida? This chick!)! They have basically been the fuel to my happiness and provided most of the candy that I have eaten this year. They are amazing. If I believed in the whole being reborn thing, I am pretty sure that my Secret Pal(s) would be reborn as a rich super star with super powers. They are that awesome...!!! The second highlight would be the fact that I am in only three easy classes and then my second year of vo-tech in the afternoons. One of my easy classes is Drama Studies. We watch movies and right now we are watching Spirited Away (I have seen it 5 times)... so I fell asleep in class. Its basically napping one-oh-one. I still have school work, but it is not nearly as stressful as every other year of my high school experience. The third thing, I have already mentioned it, but I'm gonna say it again. I AM SPENDING SPRING BREAK ON A BEACH!!! I have never been outside of the bible belt, so it goes without saying that the closest I have come to a beach is the lake and, I am only going to say this once, THE LAKE. IS NOT. A BEACH. I want to learn to body board, so I am hoping that I have time. I'll have to take money to rent one though.
Krista (the best friend) went last year, but she is the definition of a girl. This means that she swam in the shallow part of the ocean and sun bathed the whole time that they were on the beach. She also refused to ride roller coasters in Orlando.... we really are opposites. Maybe that is why we are friends. I give her a little adventure, she teaches me how to use makeup and, you know, weird stuff that I have never had a use for before... like eyelash curlers and bath salts. The eyelash curlers are scary and I don't feel like hurting myself (it looks like it would be very easy to do damage with), but I am getting used to the bath salts (they are actually nice). Anyway, that is waay off topic. The point is, that I am going to get all the way into the water and ride roller coasters until I puke.
Aside from the trip to Florida I am less than enthusiastic about the prospect of over 100 more days of high school. That is where our title enters in. Senioritis. I have it... BAD. It takes sooo much effort to get up at 6:00 every morning, walk to school in the cold, and sit through my classes (in most of which, I have to apply very little effort- aside from vo-tech).
Oh, and if you are wondering, Krista made OBU. She is leaving town Sunday to begin her second semester of Freshman year. She didn't do so hot in Spanish. That may be my fault. I distracted her a lot the year we decided to take Spanish together. We goofed off... everyday, all class period. It was fun. The best day, was when I decided that we should conduct an Anthropology study on my friend Stephanie. This project began and ended in data compilation. We got out a note book and tallied how many times she performed a certain action. And laughed when we recored her doing something dumb. And then we laughed again when she would do that dumb thing five and six more times during a class period. She caught us laughing in the corner and found out what we were doing. It just wasn't as fun after that because she stopped doing the things we put on the data sheet. What can I say, it's how nerds have fun. And probably the reason that I will struggle through Spanish my Freshman year of college.
Anyway, in conclusion, I want to get out of high school and into College. I love my Secret Pal(s) and can't wait for the beach.
