Huskies

UW. Huskies.
As the time gets closer to leave for college, I find myself getting more and more scared and intimidated. Since the school is so huge, I know I'm going to be really intimidated when I arrive there. I'm afraid that college is going to be really hard and I won't be able to handle it. I'm going to miss my family, my dog, my friends, and the warm weather. I hope I can adjust well to the cold and rainy weather. But since my sister attended UW as well, I already have many warm jackets and she can help me prepare for the weather, the city, and the school. Many of my friends are also attending UW, but I doubt I will be hanging out with them much. They are all paired up with each other and plan to room together, but I have chosen to room with a random person that I am paired up with. I think this is a better strategy to meet people, but I also think that rooming with someone you know is beneficial to becoming more adjusted to college life and it can also serve as a sense of security. I'm excited!

my last day of high school

It's so hard to believe that it's my last day of high school. A year ago, when watching the seniors perform at the last day assembly, I remember thinking to myself, it's going to take so long for us to be in their position. But it really hasn't been long at all. My senior year went by so fast. Especially this second semester. Because we seniors were so busy in the first semester with college applications as well as school work, time went by faster because we had a lot to do. Tommorow is skip day, and I can't believe that it was a year ago when we were the juniors that made our "senior shirts" that we wore to school on that day. When a senior friend of mine told me that senior year goes by really fast, I found it hard to believe considering all of the events we have during senior year. It seemed as if the year would take forever to complete. But he was definately right, because this year did indeed go by extremely quick. Baccalaureate is this weekend, and I can remember many years ago when I attended my brother and sister's baccalaureate ceremony. They looked so old to me, and now I can't believe that it's my turn.

the ap test

On May 15th, I took the most miserable test of my life. I didn't think chemistry was THAT hard until I took that ap exam. As soon as I woke up I felt sick and dizzy and just...horrible. I got to the classroom in Alexander and sat down on the ground, waiting for the teacher to open the classroom door and let us in. It was freezing cold and even though I had a sweatshirt on I felt extremely cold. As soon as the teacher opened up the classroom door to welcome us in, I began to get a runny nose. I usually get a runny nose when I'm in a really cold place. I knew this was not going to be an enjoyable four hours. I was miserable, and didn't want to take the test at all. Not only did I have a runny nose, but I was also extremely exhausted from lack of sleep nights before the exam. I wish I had started studying for this exam earlier, and perhaps I wouldn't have been so miserable. I barely knew anything on the exam, I couldn't think very well because the temperature in the room was so cold, and there was a lack of kleenex. Overall, I think AP exams are ridiculous. But thankfully, they don't affect our semester grades.
