Ack!!! I'm back!

I guess I realized how much a blog, or I guess an outlet for frustrations, helped me. I'm starting this up again. I don't really mind having my business out there..and seriously..as long as I don't gain a stalker..I don't mind it. haha. =]]

Anyways, lately..I've been crazy busy with schoolwork. I'm getting so frustrated with the amount of work I'm receiving because I have so much to do already. I can't seem to keep my schedule balanced..if I'm getting good grades, I'm being a bad friend..if I'm keeping up with my friends, my grades suffer. I'm not sure what to do anymore. I feel like I'm not minding my time wisely, but I'm always tired and never seem to get enough sleep. Ugh, I'm hating being a teenager right now..I think I really need summer to come, but even then...I'm going to have ACC classes, hopefully a job, the play, other church responsibilities, plus friends to keep track of..and a so much to do. I don't know how it's going to work out.

I guess when they say Junior year is the most stressful, they mean it! I've never done so poorly in math in my life..I just can't seem to keep up with the work, when I get something, he makes it more complicated. I have to take my AP tests early next month, I'm taking the SAT in 2 weeks..and still haven't started studying for it yet. I have my ACT, thankfully in June..but it's right after Girl's Camp and right before my birthday and I don't know how well I'm going to be prepared for it. I can say that I'm happy with my class rank, but my parents are wanting me to be higher. I'm 12th, but everyone is so "you should be top ten" and "your sister is higher then you". I don't care about the competition anymore, but it gets frustrating to be compared to my sister, okay, so I don't have as good of grades, does that somehow make me less intelligent?!? I think I'm going to go crazy. haha. No..I'm not, but sometimes I want to throw math text books across the room...not at anyone..just in general...lol. Maybe I do need to chill out a bit. I hate to admit that Travis is right sometimes.

I think I finished writing the best essay of my life in English. It was really good, but I don't know how well it will do when it gets graded. We were supposed to write on whether or not a pathway should be granted for Illegal Immigrants. I took the con side, because..well..I don't really know, because it seemed like a challenge. I'm kind of nervous, because I know the professors are kind of biased to one side, the pro side. I should have thought that out a little better. I mean, I wasn't attacking Illegal Immigration..it was a well-thought out essay, I just think that it's not going to be received well. On the issue itself, I cross-over..I'm actually very open to a pathway for illegal immigrants to become citizens...haha. I don't know how or why I wrote that paper, just so I understood both sides better I guess. I can argue both, something I picked up in debate. No need to argue about it though. =]]

This is getting kind of long, but I wanted to write about Mormon Prom. lol. Travis really had a good time..and I'm really happy that he did. He liked it, because the music wasn't all rap/hip hop, not that it ever is, but he liked it a lot. It really surprised me that he could dance. I was like..wow! haha. He doesn't want to go to school prom, which I'm kind of bummed out about, but it's okay. I mean, tickets are $80..and..I'm broke..and I'm not going to let him pay for me..that's too much! lol. I'm going to upload some pictures so y'all can see. =]

Me and Travis..afterwards.
This picture is really sweet.

Stephy, me, Travis, Beth, Isaiah, Jouvens!

Before we actually danced.

The formal picture.

Us with Sister Toler!

The dance was so much fun! lol. I can't wait until next year. I believe that Austin Oak Hill's Stake is hosting. I wonder if we're going to include the Kyle Stake next year. I hope so..there are a lot of people that I'll really miss if they don't. I'm really excited that Jazzi is going to come to camp with us..because she's "technically" homeless until her house is finished. She's moving to Buda..it's closer to me..which is funny..haha. She lives really close to Travis. =] haha. It's kind of funny. She's going to go to Hays High School, Del Valle's rivals. It's hilarious. I'm hanging out with her at Football games! Anyways..that's all really. Enjoy the pictures!
