finals
so this week is finals week at school. what a fun time right?? (: well this year i was pretty comfortable with the idea of finals. it is my third year of doing them and i am taking fairly easy classes so i thought all would just be a breeze. i aced spanish and the 2 choirs i am in. then no final in t.a. of course. today i had CP Chem. 2 and AP Language (: (i like to put the AP and CP in front cuz it makes the course sound as hard as it should be). so i wasn't too worried because i thought i had it all down, but i got to class and everything just felt like it left. Chem was first and it was a standardized test from the American Chemical Society (or something like that) i think i answered 50 questions or less out of 80. yeah ): lol. so i was pretty worried. then i went to AP Language and the teacher called me a moron twice. so if you knew this teacher you would know to not really take things personal, but after all the stress of previous final i had had it and i just got overwhelmed. but i cooled down and wrote a pretty great essay (i might jynx it by saying that). but anyways, then we had to do another little thing. after school i got my new schedule then went and chilled with friends. when i got home i checked my grades and guess what? i got a 92 % on my Chem. final (: (: (: yay! sorry i am just quite excited (: anyways tomorrow is just math and seminary and then i am done! it feels good. i think i learn this every year but i think it is important to not get worked up over little things. now finals are not a little thing. but i think first of all that once you say a prayer and do your best you can't do anything else...so might as well be happy! (: second, people, especially me, stress and overreact. it is important to just kinda chill, relax, and take some time to yourself. listen to music, eat something yummy~anything that makes you feel good. everybody just needs space and time to think and chill (: it feels great!!

BOYS!!
haha (: wow! what to say? lol. so i was trying to decide what to write about today...and so i was thinking about what i have been doing lately. next week is the formal sadies for all the stakes in our church. goodness it is so stressful! first you have to decide who to ask so as to not make anyone feel awkward but still be able to enjoy yourself. then you have to decide how to ask them. then you have to be sure no one else is planning on asking that person. timing is key!! lol. so then once you ask someone you have to listen to everyone critique who you asked and all your "reasons" for asking someone. do people have a thing against just wanting to have fun!? lol. sorry i'm not explaining much, but i am just frustrated with girls who ask silly and very annoying questions. anyways along with that crap you have to deal with planning everything, around everyone else's schedule (: ha! now that is fun! (:
i've learned a lot from boys. i wish i could say something profound or legit like other people blog about when they talk about stuff like this but what i do know is that boys and girls are very different. the point and the most important thing is to be yourself!!! don't let other people's opinions affect what you think of yourself or anything you do. i want everyone to trust me on what i do. i always think about what i do. sometimes it just feels like people don't understand that i really do know what i am talking about or doing when i make a certain decision. i just kinda get annoyed when people feel like they need to judge or critique my goals. they are mine, for me, not them. that sounded mean, but i can make my own decisions for my own reasons, and no one else has to understand them. i just have to know it is right for me. i'm just trying to be more assertive and do what i know is right for ME (:
