Happy early May!!

No!! What a sad day in horse racing for me! Halfbridled got scratched today in the Kentucky Oaks, which is the Derby for fillies! I'm SO bumbed...and THEN Wimbledon the horse I was hoping would WIN the Kentucky Derby was scratched ALSO today! The day BEFORE the Derby! I'm so bummed...I don't know who I want to win now...Oh well

On other news....I was inducted into the National Honor Society this last Wednesday. 28 people were inducted. For some reason 2 people didn't show up. I have an official membership card now. *rolls eyes* I'm going to this thing at our church tomorrow called "Oscar Night" where everyone is MAJORLY dressing up tomorrow and it's a bunch of home made movies that the high school group has made. That should be interesting. Sunday I work at the aquarium. I graduated my class so no more apron for me! I've got my red jacket now. I wonder if I can keep my name tag and I wonder if they'd ever know....I want my Student Guide name tag back! I should see if I can buy it off of them... I had that for SO long!

This comin' Monday my friends are coming over and we're gonna watch Big Fish. Then on Wednesday I have my CSF induction and my academic excellence banquet. I get a chevron for the letter men's jacket, but as I don't have one, becuase I don't want one (I have a letter), it'll just go somewhere...

I've decided this week I'm gonna get a masters in marine science or bio (I really don't know the difference, but apparently there is?) and most likely a masters in law. I want to go into ocean policy and it would be a good plus to have a degree in law so I know what I'm talking about and in marine bio for the finer points, though, oceanography can do that too...*shrugs* Hey! There we go...the difference. Marine sciences is probably the combo of all different sciences related to the ocean, oceanography, bio, etc, and bio is just the physical stuff as in animals and junk. Interesting...Any ways, that's what my future schooling looks like, atm. I'm going to be in school for a LONG time...

We're in block scheduling right now in school, well, sometimes, it's all confusing, but any ways, so I have 3 classes a day instead of 6. I kind of like it more than the hour stuff, plus I get an extra day to do my homework, but I'm still debating. *shrugs* Graduation is coming up too! Finals are the Tues & Wed before Memorial Day weekend. Seniors get out of school a week and a half earlier than the rest of the school does. on Thursday after finals we head down to Magic Mountain for the day, go to The House of Blues at CA Adventures for dinner, and go to Disneyland after that till around 6am. Talk about a action packed filled 24 hours! So we return on a Friday, memorial weekend, then the last week of school which is our Senior week and we go out and do fun stuff like scavenger hunts, picnics, etc and then we graduate on the 4th of June! Talk about exciting!

Any ways, I must be off. This is long enough. All for now! Oh, btw, sorry to my on-line friends since I haven't been on much at all. I've been catching up on sleep and some other junk. Sowwies! There IS always e-mail! Love ya alls!

This week, this week. What is there to tell...*thinks* My induction ceremony to the National Honor Society is Wed. I got my letter of acceptance on Monday. The Spring Gala at the Aquarium was a lot of fun. I like the block schedule at school too. It's pretty fun and I feel like I get more work down with the block schedule. Well, only if I'm working the entire two hours does it feel productive and better than the normal. There's really not much to say. I haven't been around a lot since I've been going out with my friends to go the movies or they come over here or something. It's kind of nice getting back to a social life with my friends. before it was just all my extra-curricular activities and that wears down on someone. I really dunno what else to say. *shrugs* All for now, I suppose.

At least I'm writing once a week too!

Week later...I've been slightly busy this last week with ROV and such. I'm also trying to recover from prom, still, also.

We didn terrible at the ROV competition yesterday. Let's just say we had one problem after the other and we did terrible. Our camera flooded on Friday, had to be fixed, we couldn't test it before the competition, someone put the lead lines on the battery wrong so our current went backwards and killed our transitors and some other things an hour before we were suppose to compete, we had to do a quick switch to the toggle switches since our joystick couldn't be fixed fast enough, and someone wired the toggle switches wrong so while we were being timed in the competition 1) we forgot we had no cable to plug into the TV for our camera, with no camera there was no way we could compete and 2)we blew a fuse and we had a lovely melting of wires. It was pretty stressful, but also boring for me yesterday.

My internship is officially over! I turned my papers in last week on Monday. ROV is now complete, and my aquarium class ends on Tuesday! We have graduation on Tuesday. With that...I will have NOTHING to do on Mon - Fri, respectively. I still have my chiro appointments on Monday, Bible Study Thurs nights, and other random junk that may happen to pop-up, but for the most part, NOTHING!!! YAY!! So that's all that's really been up with me!

Here are the prom pics, or some of. I, obviously, can't put them all on, but here's the jist of 'em!

Prom Pics

A week later...

Sorry all! I've been INCREDIBLY busy during this last week...lack of sleep...getting ready for prom...getting 4 hours of sleep on Wednesday night to get up early to get my Disneyland ticket, etc, etc. Well...this week is OVER!!! *does a little dance* It's been fun, but boy...am I tired....I got 5 hours of sleep last night. Didn't go to get till after 4am and got up a bit after 9am.

Colin came for prom. It was fun seeing him and such. There's pics and junk. It was a long day, but lots of fun. We used the video camera and the digital camera. It was fun. I dunno, not much to say. LoL. We went to the Hyatt Regency in Monterey. It was EXTREMELY hot in the dumb building from all the people and then dancing? Oh gosh...you constantly had to go out into the lobby to cool off. There were cops around too, watchin' what happened. And surprisingly...there weren't THAT many drunk people AT prom. Afterwards? People didn't go to sleep till PRETTY late.

This comin' weekend I have the MATE ROV Competition on Saturday and the aquarium on Sunday. I have chiropractor on Monday and Thursday, ROV on Monday, night class on Tuesday, and that's it! I think...

OHH!!! I got a $500 scholarship from the school through the local scholarships! It's a memorial scholarship from some person...I get the official letter later about which scholarship it is and etc. They (the school) had 27 scholarships and 49 people applied, only seniors applied. Apparently there were a lot of good things said about me...A combination of teachers, my application, administration, and etc make up the committe who do the choosing, and apparently there were some people that knew me! So...that was my major excitement of the week, besides also getting my letter saying I'm qualified for National Honor Society. I turned in my application on Friday. I just hope all my teachers turned in their recommendation letters in! I gotta check with my chem teacher last year to make sure she turned it in. So...If I get into National Honor Society (NHS), I'll be in that, California Scholarship Federation (CSF), and I got a scholarship! I'm feelin' good...

All for now!

I'm at ROV right now and I have nothing else much to do. I've been incredibly busy lately and I've been on the run a lot. It seems like this week is just another repeat of last week, only I have an econ test on Tues, physics test on Wed, math test on Thurs, and an AP prompt test on Friday. Prom is on Sat and Easter on Sunday. Colin flies in on Friday. So it's a fairly busy week. Also, I have to be at the school around 5:30-6am to turn in my Disneyland money for our senior trip also. *shrugs* I've just been really busy. I don't remember being this busy and with the time change it's no fun either. Oh well...My books I ordered haven't come in yet either! It's been a week since they shipped them. How messed up is that?! Sharks: Myth & Mystery is open at the Aqarium now too. It's REALLY cool! Well...all for now!
