13 Weeks Left…

So, as I had predicted, my senior year has been quite the rollercoaster. It STILL has not started its amazing “best year ever” phase… I am anticipating it greatly. So far, this year has consisted of never-ending spanish proyectos and mock orals, topics essays up the wazoo, really bad math tests, in-class essays, labs, college applications & essays, notifications of the end of my life, IB SHIT basically. (ha ha.. get it, i b shit. i be shit) oh, i’m so hilarious.

I’ve gotten to the point where i’ve truly appreciated this godforsaken IB diploma program — it has been intense academic training for me – and though i’d like to say it’s helped me with my time management, it hasn’t – because as any typical high schooler, i am a fan of procrastination. right at this moment, being one of the times i am the biggest fan of all because as i sit here and right (oh look at that, 10 min later, i finally realize i don’t know which “WRITE” to use… i’m so useless) this pointless journal entry only for the satisfaction of complaining, ranting and possibly the enjoyment of reading it in the future, i have countless responsibilities waiting in line for me to accomplish. These “responsibilities” might result in an all-nighter because I have an in-class paper 3 due tomorrow, an IB CAS essay .. and speaking of CAS i haven’t finished my hours, i have a spanish art presentation due tomorrow… and i believe i have forgotten some others. [story of my life]

The only satisfaction i have gotten through this is partial triumph for almost conquering the IB diploma — getting into a top 50 school in the nation, U Illinois Urbana & its rigorous competition this year, going to CABO in 13 days… and the best part im waiting for isn’t even graduation. PARIS on the 20th of June is my pot of gold. i can’t wait to see my uncle, work with him, be there for the ultimate EXPERIENCE haha, just BEING in Paris will be amazing … & also my monkeydoodle is coming up from Milan to see me (:

I’m extravagantly enthusiastic.
