OUTTA HERE!

I am so relieved to finally be done with midterms and be ready to leave for Greece. This semester has been one of the most academically challenging in I think my entire high school career and I'm fairly sure that I failed the math midterm. However, I've decided that there is nothing I can do to change it and I'm going to be just doing homework 24/7 after spring break to make up for my poor grades. I also finally finished my first inquiry project book and I really liked it. I read a thousand splendid suns and i loved it. The ending was by far one of the saddest things I've ever read and I didn't think (SPOILER ALERT) the woman would actually die, however I think it was a really good conclusion to the story. I'm so excited to go to Greece though. We leave on Wednesday and I haven't even started packing or thought about what I should bring. I'm really excited to go to Santorini and see the sisterhood of the traveling pants was filmed.... because I'm lame and like that movie. But i'm happy to spend the week with Naomi and Rishika and Alex Petrou and make fun of his Greekness in Greece.

First Required SLC EVER.

Since I have done next to zero blog posts and I think actually zero blog responses this semester, I am failing Stephanie's class. This means that for the first time, I qualify as one of those people who has to have their parent come in for Student Led Conferences to discuss their failing grade. This pretty much sucks. Hopefully I cam get on my blogging and not fail English second semester considering I have been accepted to colleges as an English major, it would look kind of weird if it became my worst class. I feel like I can never get enough time in the day to finish everything that I need to. I go from school to work or to dance. MADCAPs is finally over, 6 years and 18 shows and I am finally done. I'm pretty satisfied with myself for not tripping on stage and am really glad that Eli, Will, Alan, Colleen, Andra, Alex Petrou, Leigh, Riley, Brenda and Logan all came to the show. It was fun to have them there. But now that that's over, I've moved back to Chula Vista again which mega sucks and I would just really like to be on my way to Greece already. Until then, I'll keep blogging until I can hopefully pass :)
