Math may just end up being the the bane of my existence. I absolutely abhor it, why can't it just make sense and not be so ridiculous?! And Why oh Why am I going into a science that requires the cursed concept? (Okay I know why but that isn't helpful). Sometimes I consider just not having a career so that I don't have to do anything higher then simple arithmetic... And then I laugh, and remember why I could never do that... I would go stir crazy.
Applications are in to a number of schools, including the one I want to go to the most, Minnesota. Don't ask me why, I want it so badly but every time I even hear the name Minnesota, or anything to do with it I get goosebumps and tingles I want to be there SO bad. Why Minnesota? The Mayo Clinic, I want to help with research, it would be amazing,absolutely enthralling. Why else? Well Haha How many miles from Walla Walla is St.Paul/ Minneapolis? approximately 1546.29 miles... Not that I map-quested it or anything... Close enough to come home for Christmas, far enough away that I think I can get away from the craziness!
My very last Wa-Hi football game was Friday, I don't know if I wanted to laugh, or cry! I will never ever march for a half-time show again, unless I decide to do Minnesota's marching band. A wave of emotions hit for sure, but I am yet to figure out if they were sad or happy... I'll Keep you posted...

Shall I compare thee??
"Shall I compare thee to a summers day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate;
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summers lease has far to short a date.
Sometimes to bright the eyes from shine,
And often is his golden complexion dimm'd.
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or natures changing course undtrimm'd
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owe'st
Nor shall death brag thou wanders't in his shade
When in eternal lines in time thou grows't
So long as men can breath, and eyes can see
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee"
PHEWW!!! I never ever ever thought I was going to memorize that dang poem, than haven and earth I did. Senior English may just kill me. how I wish I could say "Hell No" To it, but alas, I cannot. If one cannot comprehend, my speech patters have been afflicted by the demon that we call sonnets. Sigh. How I long for the days when Shakespeare was fun and not a burden thrust upon seniors to possible kill them...
Halloween is here, a holiday that i both love, and absolutely despise... Who doesn't love random strangers giving them candy (Hey I am pretty sure that unless it is out of a white van, peddled by a rather strange, creepy, possible axe murderer, one is generally safe). But on the other hand it means that everyone I know can take all of there anger and pent up frustration out on me in, evil, creepy, strange, possibly axe murderer ways. Not only do other people think its funny to, sit outside my door and try to scare my soul out of my body, but also they get to sit in my window until I walk by and my heart stops, or DRAG me UNWILLINGLY into a creepy corn maze, just so they can have other people scare me... And then to top it off they sit me down and make me watch a scary movie that not only makes me sure I am going to get attacked, kidnapped, raped and killed (in that order), but also sure that there are creepy people under my bed... Okay maybe I really do HATE the holiday, why can't we have a nice, fun NON-SCARY holiday? Like you know... Easter... Sigh, this year I am going as a pink bubble wrap princess, it is quite a cute costume, if I do say so myself, which I do. Ha ha complete with polka dots, it is amazing! See? Happy, none evil, good for giving out bubble gum or hugs PRINCESS not a dark princess not a demon princess just a happy joyful happy pretty princess! Like Easter... Sigh... thank heavens its only one day of the year and then I can focus on nice happy holidays, like Thanksgiving, and Christmas.. and Forget for three hundred and sixty five days the evil that befalls me every All Hallows Eve...

Senior Power!
Well, I guess it was bound to happen someday, senior year. It makes me crazy realizing that I am almost done with high school!! Woohoo!! Constantly with high school I can say "this is the last time I... (insert activity here)." Half the time I spend pretending I still have years to go before I have to do silly things like, college, taxes, leaving my family (gulp!), etc. The time is starting to fly way to fast though.
It finally hit me that, yes, I am leaving my family, a day I never thought would come. Everyday the clock ticks down and with each move of the minute hand I loose moments with my sibling, my mother, my father, the people who mean so much to me. I cannot imagine sitting on the computer and not hear the sounds of Elizabeth crying for who knows what reason, Hannah Montana's theme song, a boy complaining about Hannah Montana, the noises I have grown to love, even when they drive me insane.
The other day we were all sitting around the living room, just talking my dad singing and dancing in the kitchen while cooking some of my very favorite African food, how many more days like that do I get? I don't know, honestly I am trying to forget.
I have slowly realized that I have become obsessive of my grades, beyond belief. My poor teachers have to deal with the constant "why did I get that grade, What can I do to make up the lost points, and the you cannot give me that grade!" I am trying hard to prepare for later when I have to be in charge of myself (heaven help me!!) but so far its just giving me a odd case of OCD, and a massive headache... Sigh, but on the good side, my grades are better then they have ever been, guess its paying off!
I suppose I should go finish my math... Sigh... Why did they create the concept? I don't know, I suppose only haven knows, because it seems like a useless comcept to me.. Especially Pre-Calculus
