stealth bombshell.

so...today, i realized...i have a research paper due in a couple of weeks, i have to take the SAT one week from today, and i haven't worked on the paper or studied for the test. so now i'm major cramming because i really need to do well on this test, and i'm also panicking about my paper, for which the bibliography cards are due monday. besides all of this, all day monday i will be taking the english and french language ap tests, so i won't even be in class that day...but i have to turn in my bib cards to my english teacher. what's surprising, though, is that even though i am to an extent quite frustrated with myself for getting behind on all of this, i'm still having an overall fairly good weekend. i can't wait for summer, though!! it seriously can not come soon enough.

but at the same time, i feel like lately i've just been going through the motions, living my life just to get to the end of the school day, and then after that just waiting until i get to go to sleep, and then starting all over the next morning. i need to stop living just to get through as quickly as possible. i need to live the abundant life christ meant for me to lead when he died upon the cross for my sins and then rose on the third day. cause if i keep living like i have been recently...i'm not doing anything for the kingdom, i'm just here, along for the ride. i don't want that for my life. i need to fix that.

anyone else find "easier said than done" to be an extreme understatement???

ok...so...long and short, this week rocks my face off. taks week was a breeze, i really needed that short reprieve. prom was this weekend, and it was so much fun!!!! definitely, especially the part about staying up for 30 hours, minus a 30 minute catnap...amanda was the only girl that stayed up all night (and somehow she was more hyper sunday morning than saturday night...). anywho, this has just been a really great week, like i said before. things are looking up, my friends!!! lol

by the way, i don't think i ever put this, but if you count all four choirs we took to UIL and the two we took to san antonio...6 sweepstakes baby!!! so awesome...

my trip to san antonio was cool, and i have to admit it was fun being a room head and ordering people around. also, i had quite a good time when i went to see my bro in nashville. we got to meet mercy me and the afters, which is pretty darn cool if you ask me. but i think my flavorite part was getting to see wes and lizzie!!! i love you!!!

anywho...that's all i got. i hope everyone is having as great a week as i am!!!! i love you all...especially the deaf!!!

okay, my turn to jump on the bandwagon...

"If you read this,
you must make a comment of a memory you have of me.
it can be anything you want,
it can be good or bad,
just so long as it happened.
then post this to your journal.
see what people remember about you."

ready, set, GO!!!

sooo.....today was...how you say.....WONDERFUL!!! i only had to go to first period, after which our choir left for UIL. our varsity women's choir and varsity men's choir both sang today (varsity mixed and jv treble are tomorrow!! so excited!!), and we BOTH got sweepstakes!!! i'm pretty much elated right now. seriously. the only thing that could make me even happier would be if our mixed gets sweepstakes tomorrow!!! that would be absolutely incredible and amazing. and also quite reconculous. lol. also, tomorrow after UIL our choir leaves for san antonio!!! we'll be gone through sunday. omygosh. i'm SO HAPPY right now. for real. haha. SO EXCITED!!! and on top of all this....no homework. life is sweht.

it's april 1st!!! woot!!! i'm most definitely counting down the days till school gets out. i can't wait, really. no seriously. i finally got my dvds from beauty and the beast (alicia i will be mailing you yours soon!!) and they turned out alright. the sound wasn't that great, but that's ok. as i watched it, i was like.....i really want to do the show again!! i miss it so much!!!

agh! i very much dislike the start of a new nine weeks. i didn't do so well on my first pre-cal test this nine weeks, and since it's the only one so far it reflects greatly on my average. hopefully i can bring that grade up with this next test. **crosses fingers**

these next two weeks shouldn't be too terribly difficult. i will only be in class monday thru wednesday of next week, and only monday, thursday and friday the following week, since next week i have UIL (wish us luck!) and my choir trip to san antonio!! and on the 12th-13th i am visiting my bro in nashville and we're going to the mercy me/jeremy camp/the afters concert. it should be pretty fun.

i want to start being more of a morning person. i mean, don't you just feel so much more accomplished when you get up earlier in the day? it's a nice feeling. but i guess that going to bed earlier tends to go hand in hand with getting up earlier, unless i want to shorten sleep time. grr.

please pray for my health...my headaches have been getting pretty bad lately, at least partially due to the lack of sleep that comes with returning to normal school life.

i think that's all i have for now.....it's off to bed for me!! goodnight all.
