In English class, we have to write a reflective narrative about some event in our life that left us with some sort of understanding. I'm not quite sure what I want to write about - I already sort of twisted some events around for the first one, but now she wants us to do a second narrative as well, and I'm fresh out of ideas. Well, actually, I know ( Read more... )

Wow. It's been a while since I last posted . . . and, seriously, I guess I should have kept updating, since so much has happened. I'd like to have a record of things, but this will take me forever to jot down. I suppose I'd just better try.

Each year of high school seems to have been a universe in its own. Freshman year was the year of depression, ( Read more... )

Peer Advocates is almost over, and that makes me sad. :( It was a really awesome group; most groups that deal with hard issues are all about internal reflection and learning to understand one's self, but Peer Advocates also taught me how to communicate with others and be a better listener. I don't need to learn to think about myself; I already do ( Read more... )

Really, it has been a while since I last posted. But I suppose I'll vomit up some of my more recent thoughts and going-on's . . .

Today has been a very good day so far. It's ironic, really; I have tons of homework, I don't understand this physics section, and I broke my favorite mug. And, yet, I feel strangely satisfied. It's very odd . . . let  me consider this.

Today, I spoke to last year's history teacher for the first time in a while, and it was actually quite nice. It was a lot of fun to catch up on old times with him, and remember our crazy antics from last year. ♥ I miss him tons.

Of course, the real reason I went to visit him was to ask him if he would be willing to be the advisor for the Japanese ( Read more... )

Well, I'm not sure if I can make seven, and this will probably be very stereotypical of a teenage girl, but I'll try my best!

1.) Concordia Language Villages (CLV)
I love this place to death! CLV is a brilliant brainchild of Concordia College, that is essentially an immersion experience for anyone, ages 1 - 99. The signature program is the summer ( Read more... )

Well, I really don't want to go back to school tomorrow. I mean, with everything I want to do (i.e. write, study Japanese), I really don't have have time during the school week. And I know my Spanish hasn't improved these last couple days; I'm still going to be a failure in class. Sometimes, I wish I hadn't gone to immersion camp . . . and yet, I'd ( Read more... )

This is the first time ever that I've had someone with the same name in my class. My name is extraordinarily uncommon, I before yesterday, the only person I knew of with the same name was my grandmother. But now I'm so confused; I keep turning whenever I hear someone say my name, and they're never talking to me!

On another note, I really wish I ( Read more... )
