I just finished the guest list to my sixteenth birthday party. It's gonna be the biggest party ever held in my honor, but it'll be fun.
Earlier today, I started working on an Algebra review guide for the EOCT. It's gonna be a little difficult, but it's all good. Becauyse I have two weeks of review in class. Because I have three EOCTs (End-of-Course-Tests) and they are in Algebra, English, and Biology, that means I don't have to take three end-of-the-year exams. I can't decide if I should exempt PE and Spanish, or PE and Chorus, but we have awhile for that. I know I can perfectly ace the Spanish one, so I might just take that one (besides the fact that I would have to come in for the last exam period on the last day of school) instead of having to come up with something to perform with a group of people.
Last night, while we had friends over, we ate, socialized, they played pool, and thn watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. No offense to any of you Harry Potter addicts out there, but I just don't see the fun in following a fictional teenager who pretends to perform magic and goes to a school for witchcraft. I fell asleep during the movie a few times, and played with my cell phone from insude my purse. I think when my sister tries to have these things this summer and they watch something sci-fi, because I hate sci-fi, I'm going to call a friend and make plans. They end up not including me anyway. Of course, anyone can be nice when the first enter the door to a place/room, but then when they get around certain people, and this is okay, it's human nature, they tend to ignore the people they don't have the most fun with or whatever. At the beginning of the night last night, when my mom brought food for everyone, she fixed my plate, I sat down in the huge LAZ Boy-esque chair and laughed at girls as they came over dancing to Blueberry Yum Yum, which is the most pathetic excuse for a song ever, as is any rap song for the most part. I guess I could do better at including myself, but just like anyone else who's at a party and doesn't like/can't do whatever might be going on, I just sat down waiting for other people to decide that thy couldn't play pool or dance either. To my disadvantage, my sister has very multi-talented best friends at parties. Heh.
I'm so nervous about tomorrow. I think I'm ready, I just have to getsome stuff polished and whatnot. I've been freajing out all break that he said I need to be ready by the 17th instead of the 10th or something like that, and I'vw been doing too much work, stayig up too late, putting in a ton of effort too soon.
I hope I can use some of my HH hours from last summer on my Beta Club stuff. If not, I don't know what I can do. I mean, the courthose stuff, though I doubt it since I would be getting paid, might count. I need to ask the sponosr tomorrow when I go to Spanish, but I have to be in there by the time the bell rings. :) I think I might go in early tomorrow to ask him if I start teaching or if I have some time. For some reason, I was up at 4am last night trying to figure out what he said to me about when I started. I don't know why I'm doubting it all. Either way, it'll be fine.
I can't help but think about this summer. It's gonna be the biggest summer my life has ever seen, I do believe. In May or June, I get my laptop, in May, we're going to the beach, which makes me uberly excited as it's already just a little over a month away. In June, I'm working VBS and FOCUS Camp again, I'm also getting my learner's and my checkingn ccount. I might also have a job at the courthouse, which would be loads of fun, but it would limit my volunteer work at HH to my off days and the weekends, which would be fine with me, because I would be making money and still getting experience in both fields. I just hope that by the time I fing out whether I do have a job at the courthouse, and I find out what my volunteer schedule is at the Hope House, my sister will feel comfortable driving me there. Even if I don't have a job with the courthouse, I'll be working for my mom, which means she'll either train me to work for her while she's at work, or no that she has an office, I'll go work in her offce while she's in court at the courthouse. I will disclose one piece of information about the job at the courthouse: I'll most likely be working very closely with the cout interpreters. Either way, I'm making money this summer, and that makes me happy. The solicitor general was worried about my age and about how I was going to get paid, so he was saying that they can make my paychecks out to Mom and she would deposit them into my account. He was saying that because he didn't know that I would be 16 this summer. It's really good, because between our vacation and the beginning of June, I'll probably be 16 or daus away from it, so they can just wait to pay me until I'm officially 16. It would be so cool if I got my first paycheck on my birthday. That's when I'm opening my checking account, too. It might be the first thing that ever goes into my checking account. How exciting.
I'm just so excited about the very near future.
