School's Out for SUMMER! [[almost]]

Only two days left of school, and I'm feeling great! I passed Pre-Calculus, with the lowest grade I've ever received for a class...a 72. I'm really proud of myself...I passed the final, but I'm almost certain that he passed me, but either way..I passed...and to make things better, my GPA won't suffer that much, if so..it's still an A...which isn't too bad. lol. I'm proud of myself. I keep saying that, but I pretty much had a meltdown on Friday..because I was almost positive that I would fail...and yeah..total meltdown mode..I was crying..and it was so awful..thankfully travis was like.."you'll pass and you totally know it." lol. I'm thankful he was there..so I wasn't walking around by myself. All my hard finals are over, thankfully. I was only worried about my Pre Calculus final...and it's over, it was like relief..ugh. I'm happy.

Tomorrow, I have German and Ready Set Teach..and I'm not worried about either of them. Well, for German all we had to do was a "Cultural Project", which basically consisted of a written paper on the food choice, plus a recipe..and then the "physical evidence." We're pretty much going to chill in there tomorrow...and eat..and..talk..and try and save our plates from the big guys. =]] I made Schnitzel, it is yummy. I made them over at Travis's, because my kitchen was taken over by Beth..who made Brötchens. [hard rolls] It was weird cooking in someone else's kitchen..I'm used to cast iron, so it was odd for me to use the copper-bottom pan. It was so weird..and it didn't help that I'm still shy around his family. lol. I did finally get to talk to Kayla, about debate. She said I should check out Louisville, said that they were offering scholarships still. I probably will...at least then I'll know someone at the school...and won't be in some huge new arena of people. I sent my SAT scores there, but I don't know think they were very impressive. I got a 1690 on the new SAT..so it was pretty average. My essay scored a 12, which is perfect! [no joke!] My grades should look a bit better to them. lol..plus I have debate.

Looks like the trip to Stanford isn't going to happen, because they changed the deadline on the grant to January..so we have time to "perfect" our appeals and stuff. We are still probably going to Sweden! I am really excited about that, of course it's only if everything comes through. I don't know, how long does it take to get a passport, Mr. Cunningham said it took about a year..so I guess I need to start applying. And I need to start picking out colleges that I'm serious about. I'm going to start my essays this summer at some point, but I don't know what I'm going to write about. lol. I am a beast at essays, [as seen in my SAT essay] but I'm not really good at personal narratives....I can't seem to write about myself..because I'm really not that interesting. Okay, I'm totally contradicting myself..because this blog is about me..but it's different because it's not being judge by anyone. [and if it is..too bad for you!]

I'm sooo excited for Girl's Camp. I'm just..ugh!!! Excited. Excited. Excited. =] I'm JCing over third years and we have 11 girls. =] I'm just so happy to be going to camp. It's like..a refresher for the year. Plus, we have a temple trip on Saturday, it's going to be amazing. I'm so so so so looking forward to it. I love Camp!

That's it really!
