Beloved and Remembered, Soquili

Journal by *Poriina

Oi I owe you guys a major update... I've been meaning to for a couple weeks... but I can spare a few minutes on a loverly pressure-free Friday night.

I am uber-excited about graduation in a few weeks. I'm just not hyper about it in every waking moment. My biggest responsibility at the present moment is writing ten more pages for a research paper on the candidates for the 2008 American election. In case those of you in different countries didn't know, we're strung between a white woman (Hillary Clinton) and a black man (Barack Obama) for the democrats (no I'm not being rascist, that's how they're being described), while Republican old guy McCain sits back drinking coffee while the Dems fight it out. No idea who's going to win, or who I'm going to vote for in November, for that matter... Anyways, I still have to write ten pages and then edit it all to be turned in exactly one week from now. I know I can do it, I just need to sit down and write. I can write a good three pages in a setting, so three and a half settings, and then editing it, and then printing it out Thursday night. My AP English test is on Thursday. If I get a three or anything above that, there is the possibility of getting out of College Composition for my first semester of college, which would give me extra hours to work and draw. (Even though I kind of want to take the class... but I'm sure other English classes will come my way in my second two years of college). I know for sure I'm saving my AP American History 4 on the test for a hard history class later in college, not to get out of Psycology.

Enough of school. I have six and 1/2 days of real school, a couple of exams (not many. Just Calculus and Writing. Writing I have to take anyway, and I got a B on the Calculus semester exam before Christmas. The rest I'm exempt from. ) Then I leave for Costa Rica with my class on the 17th. I'm really excited about that trip! I did so much fund-raising in order to pay for it! And then after a week or so in Costa Rica, I come home to graduate. Then I move to my college town sometime between June and July.

So... busy life, right? I'm ready to chase my dreams though. I know I can accomplish so much, both in art and conservation. I am two months away from studying the stuff that I've always wanted to learn. The next few years of my life are going to be a blast!
