The End

Well Junior year is coming to a close, and so dear blog we must say goodbye (Anne Frank reference :)). Well maybe not goodbye, but this will be the last required post I will have to make. That's actually kind of sad. Although sometimes it seemed hard to get all my blogs done on time, it was actually quite enjoyable. It gave me a place to express myself and think things through. It's also going to be nice to be able to look back years from now and see how I was when I was 16. It's like an online diary, just a little less personal. I don't see how anyone can say they hate blogs. I mean sure I don't really like to write, but to me this isn't really "writing". And if you can't get over the writing part then just think of it like this, it's an easy grade. I'm glad Mrs. Matthews introduced this to us. I would have never thought to start a blog on my own. Even though I may not have much to say at times, it's nice to be able to say something. When no one will listen there is always a place to put it in your blog. Then it's there for the whole world to see, if they care to listen, well read I guess. This blog has given me an outlet for all my pointless crap and I've enjoyed it. I may not have another post for a while, but I want to make an effort to come back to this blog someday. It'll be worth while. Farewell for now. This isn't goodbye, this is just I'll see you later. 

American Idol

Well last night was the result show for the semi-finals for American Idol. The final three were Haley Reinhart, Scotty McCreery, and Lauren Alaina. As usual, they waited to announce the final two until the last five minutes of the show. Usually I don't mind setting through the performances but last night they had people that I had never even heard of; I wasn't too impressed. But in the end I was pleased with the two America chose. The final two that are competing for the title are Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina. These two are some of the youngest contestants this year. Lauren was 15 when the competition started and has recently turned 16. Scotty is also 16. These two were my favorites from the very beginning. It's going to be difficult to have to choice who to vote for next week. I most likely will just end up voting for both like I have all season. I can't wait to see who will take the title and what Fox has in store for the finale. This should be interesting...

Things I'm Going to Miss from Junior Year

Junior Year has probably been my favorite year in high school. Sure it was harder, and I experienced my first break-up, but in the end it was a pretty great year. There are so many memories. For example:

• APUSH!!! Just gotta love all the things we can do with Paff's name. 
• Computer Graphics Group
• The Diary of Anne Frank
• Prom!
• Fluorescent Fever
• Sadie Hawkins
• Thespian Festival
• English class: This is probably the first year that I have actually enjoyed English. I was able to actually somewhat understand the books we read and I really enjoyed our class discussions. I didn't feel like I was doing honors English work because I actually understood and didn't struggle as much. My essay writing has improved and I've learned several new vocab words. Thank you Mrs. Matthews for making English enjoyable this year.
• Early - Release Friday
• "Drama Momma" t-shirt
• ACT

The list can just go on and on. I've kind of hit a road block right now but I know there are millions more. I'm going to miss Junior Year and all the amazing teachers I have had. This is one year that will never be forgotten.

A Lazy Day

"Today I don't feel like doing anything

I just wanna lay in my bed

Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone

'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything"

Bruno Mars has the right idea. It's nice to take a day and do nothing every now and then. It's nice to just stay in your pajamas all day and maybe watch some TV. Or if TV isn't your thing then you could finally read that book you've been dying to read or listen to that new song. There are so many things you can do on a "lazy day". What you do all depends on your interest. For me, I usually just watch TV or sit around on Facebook. It's sad to say that Facebook is such a huge part of the lives of today's youth, but it's true. Facebook addicts aren't just teens, adults are addicted too and sometimes they can be worse than the teenagers. Whatever you like to do on your "lazy day" it's always nice to just take time for yourself. Today's world moves at such a fast pace that sometime we forget to just slow down for a minute and "smell the roses". Yes, I know I just used a major cliché but it's true. We often forget the simple things in life and sometimes it takes a "lazy day" to remember them all. I think "lazy days" are needed but there can come a point when they become a little too much. It's okay to take a day off from the world every now and then as long as you jump right back into the real world and actually do something with your life. You will never get any where in life if you just sit around waiting for something to happen to you. It's the ones who try in life that will succeed. Even Bruno Mars touches on this in his song. He says:

"Tomorrow I'll wake up, do some P90X"

and

"Yeah, I might mess around

And get my college degree".

Bruno Mars realizes that he is going to have to work at some point in order for his life to be successful but he is also allowed to enjoy a day to himself. I think everyone needs to grasp this view point and maybe then we would have a lot more successful people in the world. It's funny to think that an idea like this can be found in a song, but isn't that the whole point of music? At least it used to be. Music is meant to inspire and taken in the right context this song can convey an excellent way to view life. 

The Diary of Anne Frank

On April 13, 14, and 15, the Apollo Blue House Players presented the production of The Diary of Anne Frank. It was one of our larger plays and I dare say one of the best. A lot of time and effort went into this play. With auditions being held in November, there were many months spent on this production. Although it may seem like a long time, this was actually a shorter amount than we usually have to prepare. Even though it was shorter and we all freaked out, I think the amount of time was perfect in the end. Sure there could also be one more rehearsal but with the amount we had we didn't get sick of the play before we even performed. Sometimes rehearsing too long is worse. Actors get sick of the play and they don't put their best foot forward. A time limit puts a needed stress on the actors. It gets the adrenaline pumping and makes for a great show. 


Other than time, this play also differed from past plays. We actually had funding! Murry sponsored our show. They gave us money to build our set and provided our scripts for us. This lifted a huge burden off our shoulders. Without the funding we would not have been able to present this production. The set was required to be much more intricate than past sets. We couldn't do the typical high school classroom or any other typical high school based set. This set had to look like an annex. It had to look like people could actually survive in it for three years. And this set could not be a "one-story" set like most. There had to be definition in rooms. The Van Daans had to have a place upstairs, even if that place couldn't be seen. And Peter's room had to appear smaller than the others but still have enough room for two actors to be in it at a time. Anne's room had to be able to support a sofa plus another form of a bed. Not only were the bedrooms a hard task to complete, there were also things like the kitchen, the bookshelf, and the door. The kitchen had to look like it could actually function. There had to be a "stove" for Peter to burn his star. There had to be a bookshelf to hid the entrance to the annex and a door for the Nazis to break through at the end. This set was more complicated than anything we have ever encountered. Thanks to Murry and the talent of Mrs. Berry's husband and fellow students, our set was able to come together perfectly.


This play was probably the most nerve-wracking play I have ever done. I remember pacing back in forth during green room on opening night. (Green room is something we always do before a play. We all come together in the teacher's eating area and Mrs. Berry speaks a few words of encouragement, we sing Lean on Me, and it's on with the show.) This show had a lot of pressure for me personally. This was the first time I had ever played a lead role. All eyes would be on me. I was nervous and often hard on myself. I would get mad if I stumbled over a line or my fall didn't look real enough. But in the end I received a lot of compliments. I even had some people say that they were glad I died because I was annoying. I guess that means I was doing my job right. I was supposed to be an obnoxious teenage girl and that's how everyone saw me. I was very happy with my role and was pleased to know that I did it well. I really became my character in this play. I don't think I can say that about any other play. 


In the end, we had amazing performances despite the little screw ups. I don't think anyone will look back and regret doing this play. I admit I wasn't quite sure about this play at first, but looking back I'm glad we did it. It pushed us all to truly use the talent we have. Any one can pull off a play about high school. It takes talent to pull off a play about history.

Girls Night!

There comes a time in every girl's life that she needs a "girl's night". This is a night to just hang out with friends and forget whatever stress or drama taking place in their life. It's a night to put down the phone, stop texting any guys, and just let loose. Now I'm sure most guys picture a "girl's night" as pillow fights and pajama dance parties, but its nothing like that at all. We may sit around in our "pajamas" but they aren't the typical pajamas displayed in most movies. Usually they consist of some old t-shirt and a pair of shorts. We also don't sit around watching romance movies while eating popcorn. We may have popcorn at some part of the night but you better believe that's not all we are going to eat. The movie industry has really distorted the image of a "girl's night". In all honesty, a "girl's night" is much like a "guy's night". We like video games and scary movies too.
For me and my friends, our night usually consist of going to Walmart, stocking up on junk food, renting a movie, and heading back to the house we are staying out. Most the time we eat all the food and never watch the movie. We like to sit around and talk or take stupid pictures. We may act like idiots the whole night but it's a lot of fun.On election day I had a girl's night just like I described. After school I went and picked up my little sister from school, took her to my mom, and then headed to the twins', Kara and Karissa, house. It was going to be us three and Summer, our typical weekend group. We didn't really have anything planned other than having to be back at school the next morning, our day off, to paint the dressing rooms. Aren't we just dedicated little drama students? But other than our PPP (Pizza Painting Party), we had no plans. We ended up sitting around and just talking until like 10. We didn't really want to go out any where without Kara and she was at work until 9. But once our whole gang was back together we headed to Walmart. There we stocked up on junk food and considered buying the craziest pajamas we could find. We left without the pajamas mainly because no one wanted to pay the outrageous price for them. I rented You Again before we left, but just like every other time we didn't watch it. We spent the rest of the night talking, laughing. and just enjoying some girl time. Girl time is always needed at some point.
The worst part about every girl night is that eventually it has to end. But it's nice to enjoy those few hours and remember the simple things in life. I don't know where I would be without my friends. They are like my second family and they help to shape me into who I am today. 

Relationships: Are you ready?

Many people often ask the question, when is the right time for a relationship? The answer to this question depends on the person. Whether you are about to start dating for the first time or you just went through a breakup, this question must be answered. For me, it's the latter. I have only been in one relationship and we recently broke up, well if you consider four months ago recent. And now I'm starting to talk to other guys. I like the idea of having a boyfriend, and having someone always there for me, but I'm really enjoying being single. After two years of being in a relationship I feel like I just need to be single for a while. I need to just enjoy my friends for a while. I feel like four months just isn't enough time. I'm not really sure if I'm ready to be in another relationship and be tied down again. For some people four months seems way too long to wait, but considering I spent half that time healing from the break up, I don't think I'm quite ready yet. Don't get me wrong, I like hanging out with guys and going on dates. I just don't think I want a "relationship". It may sound selfish but I don't want to have to worry about someone else, I just want some time to focus on me. Everyone needs that from time to time. Not only is there the fact that I want time to myself, but I'm just not ready to be hurt again. I can't imagine having to go through another break up anytime soon. There is never a guarantee on how long a relationship will last. It's scary to just put your trust back in someone else when your heart was recently broken. So rises the question, when are you ready? I guess there never really is an answer. When your ready, you will just know. Simple as that. Although at times that doesn't seem very simple. You don't want to wait around wondering when you are going to be ready; you want to know now. But only time can tell. Time is the answer to everything, no matter how much it may suck to wait. 

APUSH

On Friday, May 6, 2011 I, along with forty-something other students took the AP US History Exam.This exam was to determine how much college credit we would receive, if any at all. We had been preparing for this test since the first day of school. It was stressful to think that everything we have worked for and struggled with all year came down to this one test. The test is composed of two parts. There is the multiple choice part in which you are to answer 80 questions in 55 minutes. Then there is the writing part. There are two essays and a DBQ (Document Based Question). You are given about two and a half hours for this part. Now for students like me, two and a half hours is less that what you spend on a normal essay for class so writing three in that amount of time is very stressful. You can only pray that you get an essay over something you just learned or something you know very well. The multiple choice part is not as stressful as the writing part, you just have to watch your timing. Really, timing is the key to the whole test. You have to pace yourself in order to get done. It's like the ACT, you want to answer every question. It seems unreal to think that you spend almost an entire year studying one subject in school, not to mention the hundred of hours spent out of school studying, and the thing that evaluates what you have learned in over in a matter of just four short hours. It may seem like a lot of work for nothing, but that can apply to any class. At least with this class there is the chance to see results sooner. It may not have felt worth it while I was struggling with the homework, the reading, and the quizzes. But in the end, I know the class will have paid off. I may end up with college credit and at least now I know what to expect next year when I take about four more AP classes. 
After all my stressing and studying, the test wasn't as bad as I expected. Sure the questions were difficult, but they weren't impossible. And I was actually quite surprised by myself. I was able to write all three essays before time was called and they were decent essays, not just a bunch of words on paper. It seems silly to have stressed so much over a little test, but if I don't stress, I won't do well. It's kind of weird to say, but I think I need the pressure of the test in order to succeed. If there was no pressure, then there would be nothing to push me to do well. In the end, the test was hard, but I made it through APUSH and I am more prepared for next year. 

4 - ?

Yesterday we had rehearsal for The Diary of Anne Frank. But this rehearsal, unlike the usual rehearsals that last from 3:30 to 5, lasted from 4 until ?. We ended up staying at school until 9. We were all exhausted by the end of it. And the sad thing is we only ran through the play once. We cannot make it through a single rehearsal without breaking character or laughing or messing up lines on stage. I know I am guilty of this too, but we really need to start taking this play seriously. It is crunch time. We only have three rehearsals left. It doesn't seem real that the play is already here. But reality must hit soon and we need to buckle down and get things right. Rehearsal was forever long and I feel like in the end we got nothing accomplished. The play still needs work. I am hoping that it will all come together in the end. It may seem like we have only been working on this play for a short time, but I can tell we have rehearsed a lot by my random usage of lines in every day conversations. I came home from rehearsal and began to read my APUSH and found myself quoting lines while reading the section on D-Day. By the time I finally went to bed, I was saying my lines in my head as a fell asleep. This play has seemed to consume my life. It is a good thing that I love drama. 

10 Things I Like About Me

1. I like how my eyes will change colors. One day they will be more blue and the next more green.
2. I like how my hair has a red tint in the summer.
3. I like how I can still shop in the kid's section, if I want to.
4. I like how I am in the top percentage in my class.
5. I like how even though I take all honors classes, I still have time for my friends.
6. I like my height.I'm not too tall, but I'm not short either. I am average.
7. I like how one of my thumbs is shaped different than the other. I call it my toe-thumb. 
8. I like how I look just like my grandmother. It gives me a special connection with her. 
9. I like how I say words like "button" and "mountain" weird. People may make fun of me for it but oh well. It is all in good fun.
10. I like how after almost 5 years of braces, I have straight teeth. 

If I had time...

Life today is always on the go. People have busy schedules to meet and don't have very much time to themselves. If I had more free time, I'd like to do some scrapbooking. I have all the necessary supplies, I just don't have the time. I like to look back at pictures and remember the story that goes along with them. Putting the pictures in a scrapbook only helps tell the memory a little better. I also enjoy all the colors and patterns I can use to make the pages look good. I have always enjoy little arts and crafts projects. I like to mess around with colors and funky scissors. I am also a perfectionist though, so my scrapbook pages always have to look neat. I will often use stickers when I put letters on a page because I never seem to be happy with my own handwriting. Since I am always busy with something, I never really get to scrapbook. So most of the supplies I have get used on school projects.I recently pull my World Civ notebook off the shelf from last year so I could review WWI. I noticed as I was flipping through it that all my title pages were done in scrapbooking paper. It's the little school projects that allow me to worth some scrapbooking into my schedule. I wish I could scrapbook for more than just a school project. I would like to finally put all my pictures in place. I have several pictures just sitting in a box just waiting to go into my scrapbook. Maybe over the summer I will actually have time to take scrapbooking up again. 

Spring Break

We are getting close to Spring Break. Spring Break is a time full of friends and family. It is a stress free time. There is no schedule to meet. There is no homework to be done. It is just a time to relax. Last year I went to Daytona Beach, and this year we are going to Florida again. This trip will be a much shorter drive though. This is the first Spring Break that I can drive. That is going to help take a lot of the stress off my mom and dad. We will be able to split up the driving and maybe my dad will actually get some rest. I cannot wait to leave Owensboro behind and just head to Florida. There has been too much stress here lately. Whether its school, rehearsal, or prom, there is just too much stress. I am ready to go to Florida and just forget it all for a week. It will be nice to leave it all behind but when I get back I have to dive right back into it. The Sunday before we return to school, my teacher has decided to have rehearsal. It is a much needed rehearsal but it will put a lot of stress on me. I will not get back from Florida until Sunday. So as soon as I am home I will have to turn around and head to school. But in the end it will all work out. Spring Break is totally worth all the stress I will have to face afterwards. A week off is just what I need right now.

Finding the Perfect Prom Dress

Prom dress shopping is a pain. You try on dress after dress trying to find that perfect one. And when you think you have finally found "the one", you look at the price and realize it is way out of your budget. There are so many dresses to choose from. When you walk into a store it is just overwhelming. There are so many different styles. Along with many colors and patterns. You just have to start trying on dresses to see what looks best on you. It is almost April and I still do not have a dress. It's crunch time now. I have to find one in the next few weeks or I'm screwed. I have to have the dress in time for alterations. It is a very stressful process but I know it will all work out in the end. 

Trust

Trust is needed in any form of relationship. But trust is very hard to build up. Trust takes time. And when someone breaks that trust, it takes even longer to build it back up. Trust can be broken in an instant but it may take years for that trust to return. It is hard to trust people these days. Everyone lies and people only think of themselves. Trust is very important to me, and here lately I just don't feel like I can trust very many people. Sure I have my friends and of course my family, but other than that there is no one I can truly trust. Trust is needed for life. People have to be able to depend on each other. It hurts me when people break my trust. Without trust people would be lost. Trust is quintessential. 

Blogs

I hate that feeling that you get when you realize the day after blogs are due that half of your blogs are still saved as drafts. I often start a blog but do not post it because I go back and read over it again to make sure there is nothing else I want to add or take out. And then it happens. I think I have all my blogs done because I remember writing them but when I look back not all of them are published. I do not mind writing blogs, I just often like to put more detail in them than I can in class so they get saved as drafts. I hate realizing that all my blogs are not posted in the middle of the night and have to get up to publish them even though it is already too late. It is a rare occasion for it to happen, but when it does it sucks.

2. To get to the other side
3. Why are you asking me? Ask the chicken yourself
4. The chicken just wanted to cross the road. What is wrong with that?
5. It had a death wish.

no, No, NO!!

Ways of saying no without actually saying the word no:

1. I can't do that.
2. I'm busy.
3. I have other plans. 
4. I never thought of it that way.
5. That wasn't my intention.
6. My priorities are else where. 
7. Let me know how it goes.
8. I don't know right now.
9. I have a family thing.
10. My parents wouldn't let me.

15. It's up to my parents whether I can or not.
16. I wish I could.
17. Maybe.
18. Later.
19. Never in my life.
20. Not a chance.

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is a day full of love, well except for the people who are single. For single people, it's a day to feel like complete crap. Honestly I don't really understand the point of Valentine's Day. Why does there have to be a day set aside for someone to show someone else that they love them? Shouldn't love be given on a daily basis? To me Valentine's Day is nothing but a marketing scam. Sure its nice to get flowers or chocolates, but it's all about the marketing. Now don't get me wrong, I will never turn down a Valentine's Day present or not celebrate it when I'm in a relationship, but it still just seems like a big marketing scam. In elementary school Valentine's Day was simple; you never had to worry about not getting a valentine. It was required that you brought a valentine for everyone. No one was left out in elementary school. But then you hit middle school, and they sell these fake carnations in different colors to mean different things. For example, red meant love and yellow meant friendship. The carnations were nice and all but not everyone got one. This is what it really is like. Not everyone gets a valentine like in elementary school. Everyone deserves a valentine but not everyone gets it. Then in high school you start to really think you are getting into what Valentine's Day really is. You have a boyfriend or girlfriend and you go out on a date for Valentine's Day and get each other presents. You feel like you are celebrating the way adults do, but the truth is adults don't celebrate Valentine's Day, at least not to the extent that children do. Adults have a nice dinner or something simple like that. But no matter what age, Valentine's Day is just a waste of money. The only ones who truly benefit from Valentine's Day are the marketing companies. 

Perfectionist

    I am a perfectionist about everything. All my school work has to be done nice and neat and in order. If I take notes and they are too messy I will often rewrite them. I like things to be in order and neat. When it comes to projects I often go over the top. For something that could just be done with a piece of printer paper and coloring pencils, I use scrap-booking paper, fancy scissors, and stickers. I like things to have color and design to them. I guess that is part of the reason I want to be an interior designer. I love colors and all different types of patterns. I don't do a lot of scrap-booking mainly because I don't have time, or I don't have the pictures printed. I would love to just take a weekend to work on my scrapbook but with all my homework and other arrangements I can't. 
    Even when helping my little sister with a school project, I am a perfectionist. I wanted her valentine's day box to be all nice and neat and perfect, but of course it is how she wants it and not me. Her box was still really cute even though I didn't get my way. I miss the days of second grade when you would get projects to take home, have a week to do it, and get to color and use glitter. I miss being in kindergarten where your homework or an assignment would be to just color this picture. But even in coloring I cannot let my crayon or marker go outside the lines. Everything has to be in its place.
    I am a perfectionist and I don't think that will ever change.

Advanced Drama Auditions for Next Year

It's February which means it's time to start thinking about scheduling for next year. With scheduling close, it is time to audition for Advanced Drama. Every year we have to audition just to be in the class. I have been involved in drama throughout high school. I was in Drama I my freshman year and have been in Advanced Drama the past two years. And today I am auditioning to be in Advanced Drama my senior year. I am so nervous. I am auditioning at 4:10. Watching the clock only makes things worse. I know that it will all be fine, but I cannot help being nervous. Being nervous is just something that comes along with acting. You are always nervous before an audition or a performance, but in the end you have a feeling of satisfaction. You spend a lot of time and put a lot of effort in to an audition or a performance but it is worth it in the end. I love acting and I love drama. I cannot wait to get through my audition so my nerves will disappear. But no matter how nervous I am, I don't want to ever stop acting. 

Picking a College

Picking a college is a big decision. There are so many to choose from. In my case, I know what I want to do. I want to be an interior designer. So the question is not what my major should be, but what college is the most accredited for my major. I am constantly getting emails from all these colleges and it is quite overwhelming. It's hard to decide which one is better. I want to go to the best school for interior design, I'm just not sure which school that is. I will most likely have to go out of state. Most people say I'm stupid to go out of state and pass up all the KEES money I already have. The KEES money and any other scholarship I can get for in state colleges is great and hard to pass up. But I want the best school for my degree. University of Cincinnati looks good, but I still don't know all that much about it. It is just going to take a lot of research and college visits to make this decision.  

Goodbye 2010...Hello 2011!

A new year has begun. It is a time for new beginnings and  a clean start. Many people make new year resolutions that are often broke by the end of January. I do not make new year resolutions. I think they are pointless. No one sticks to them, so what is the point? If I want to make a change, I will make it. I don't need a new year to make me change. A new year is a new beginning, but why do we need a new beginning to start living our lives the way we should? When people think of new year resolutions they don't think of something they truly want to change. They think of something that they can try for a few weeks and the just quit. New year resolutions are a good idea, but often don't have the result they should. I will change for myself, not because someone says I should just because it's a new year. Change only happens when a person is willing to accept it. That is the problem with most new year resolutions; most people don't want to accept the change they are trying to make. New year resolutions are just a fun little thing to think of when a new year rolls around and that's all there is to it. 

Line Checks

Line checks have came early this play. And this time instead of doing a couple scenes at a time, we are doing an act at a time. An act wouldn't be bad if you didn't have 150 lines in the first act alone. And those lines aren't just simple little sentences, they are whole paragraphs. To make matters worse, we have to memorize our lines with out blocking. Blocking is extremely helpful when it comes to memorizing.Memorizing may be difficult but it is necessary. In every play we have struggled with our memorization. Getting memorization out of the way early will help in the long run, even though it sucks right now.

Breaking Up is Hard to Do

The worst part of every relationship is the break up. No matter the situation, break ups are hard. They hurt and only time can heal the pain. People say that breaking up with someone has about as much pain as a loved one passing away. Friends and family can try and help with the pain, but they can never fully take it away. Only time will allow the wound to heal. Break ups may be hard, but the first break up is always the hardest. It was your first love and a part of you doesn't want to let it go. But then you realize that you have to let go. Letting go is the best thing to do, the only way to be happy. The realization of knowing you have to let go sucks. It hurts, but the pain is only temporary. But no matter how many times you tell yourself all these things, you cannot accept them. You just know that you are hurt and that's all there is to it. You want to feel okay again, but you feel like that may never come. You know it will, but it just doesn't always feel like it. Friends and family may not be able to cure it, but they do help. They get your mind off of it. They help you have fun. But sometimes after a break up, a person just needs to be sad for a little while. They need time to feel their pain to make it all seem real. A person cannot move on from something that doesn't feel real. And after dating a person for a long time, you are in shock when the break up comes. You think to yourself where has the past two years gone? How did we get from where we started to this point. Those two years seem like a blink of an eye when it all comes to an end. But that blink of an eye changed your life. Every relationship impacts you in some way. The relationship may have ended but it is just the start of many more to come. Break ups are often seen as an ending, but it's also a new beginning. 

Snow Days

There have been so many snow days this semester. January has seemed to just fly by because we are never in school. Don't get me wrong, I like being off from school. I just don't like having to go to school until June. There comes a point where you just get sick of snow. You are ready for summer. I am sick of always being cold. I can not wait for summer to come. It's funny how in the summer 45 degrees seems so cold, but in the winter it seems so warm. We have had very few days above freezing this winter. I am just sick of the cold. I hate having to start my car twenty minutes before I leave. I hate having to scrap snow and ice off my car in the morning just so I can see. I am tired of looking at my car and thinking about how dirty it is, but knowing that it will do know good to wash it. Summer is much better. I can not wait to when I can drive with the windows down and finally use my sunroof again.I cannot wait until I can go outside without having to wear a jacket or have several layers on. I'm ready for summer, like a lot of people are. 

Anatomy

Every year the Anatomy class dissects cats.Honestly, I could never take that class just because of that one lesson. I don't think that people that do take the class are wrong though. It is just a person preference.The one thing I cannot stand is when people posts pictures of them and their cat they are dissecting on Facebook. No one wants to see that. It's just gross. What's makes it worse is people name the cat they are going to dissect. I absolutely cannot stand listening to people talk about dissecting a cat in Anatomy, especially at lunch. People just need to take their class and do their work while leaving the rest of us out of it.
