Finally back to blogging

Well, it's been a couple months since my last post. Mostly cause I've been super duper busy, but also a little lazy when it comes to blogging >.< School ends on tuesday, which is a half day, and I'll be out for the summer!! But I have so much stuff this summer I don't even know when I be able to relax at all... :'( But at least I won't be bored, right?! So much stuff has happened since I last wrote, so I'll try to sum it up:

For starters, my big brother just graduated from high school -sniff sniff-!! It's crazy that he'll be in college next year. When I was little, it felt like life went by so slow and I couldn't wait for it to speed up a little. But now it seems like life is just speeding by and I have to hold on tight to stay on board. Only 3 years of high school left and then I'll be off to college too. As much as we sometimes fight, he's a real good brother that always looks out for his little sister, and I'll miss having him at school with me. And to top it all off, he became a legal adult on wednesday! Sheesh, what happened to the time?!


During the last few days of school I have finals -bleh-!! Thursday was Spanish (writing), friday was health and digital communications, monday is math and english, and tuesday, the last day, is science and spanish (culture). It's kinda lame that we have finals all the way til the last day, but I know the reason they do that is to keep people from skipping the last days of school.

I realized pretty recently that I won't really have much of a summer :( The day after school ends, College Bound starts, and I'll have that for six weeks. College Bound is this really cool program that lets you prepare for college really early. Over the summer, I'll be taking college classes in math, english, and science. The awesome thing is that these classes count as credit towards my regular high school classes too! Plus we get to travel all over Washington and even a couple of other states to visit colleges and go on other fun field trips. The only thing thats kind of disappointing is that the classes go from 8:30 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon, and then I'll have work on most days after that, so I won't have a lot of freetime. Other than that I'm really excited for the program.

Speaking of work, I guess I should mention that I got a job even though I'm only 15!! =D It actually just started out as a one-time thing, my mom's friend on facebook needed some help weeding at her business, but I did a really good job and she liked me so it turned into a full blown job! I do all sorts of things like yard work, news letters, mailing, etc. Basically just whatever she needs help with. I don't work a whole lot right now cuz of school and all the other activities like graduations and birthdays in June, but I should work a little more in the summer.

Also, I discovered a new passion for photography! =D I'm not extremely good, but I really like it. Here's some of my favorites:

One last thing (I promise this is the last, sorry for the long post >.< ). I got accepted into NURSE CAMP!!! I'm so so so so excited about this!!! My dream is to be a doctor, so this is the coolest thing for me. Nurse camp is just like it sounds: a five day program where I get dropped off at the hospital at 7:30am and picked up at 4:30pm. During that time I get to do tons of hands on things in the hospital, like job shadows in all of the areas. I also get a free pair of scrubs and a stethoscope =D It was really hard to get into. I had to do an application that was kind of like a college application: I had to write an essay, answer questions about my interests, get recommendations from teachers, include a school trascript, fill in background information, etc. It took awhile to do, and on top of that, they only accept 100 people into their program! To top that off, they don't accept very many freshmen (which I am) in that 100, probably only about 15. So when I got my acceptance letter, that was really...really....I don't have a word for it, but I guess you get the picture ^.^

Like I promised, that's it for today!
