☆ So my finals are finally over! <3 According to my grades, I have an A in Art, English, and Competitive Math, and Cs in Physics and Calc. = n = ...History will be either a C+ or a B, depending on how my teacher takes the grades... ☆ But I'm so relieved the first semester is over! Now I have a couple of days to take a break before going back to working on college stuff.
☆ Today I went Christmas shopping for my best friends' presents, but my parents also told me that this year they decided I can just pick out my gifts and they'll wrap them up anyway. So they don't waste money getting me things I don't want. It kind of ruins the magical surprise of opening the gifts and not knowing what you're going to get, but it's nice that I got stuff I wanted. <3
☆ While we were shopping I ran into some friends from middle school... and then some old neighbors... and then my friend's brother and sister... and then two of my math teammates... o_o Strange. Still, it was nice to see everyone!
☆ As for what I got my friends (1 girl, 1 guy, and my boyfriend): ☆ Girl Friend: DnD dice, new coin purse, paper folding fan, strawberry pocky, strawberry hi-chew, fleece scarf, Friends Forever necklace ☆ Guy Friend: Pokemon X-mas card, *working on* GaiaOnline avatar art ☆ Boyfriend: Pokemon T-shirt, Pokemon X-mas card, *working on* Christmas cookies
☆ The fleece scarves were on sale ($1 EACH!!!), so I also picked up a couple extra for some other friends. c:
☆ Also, I know it looks like I got my girlfriend more stuff, but its only because hers is actually a bunch of super cheap stuff. XD Everything except the necklace was less than 3 dollars each, 1 dollar at the cheapest. Her presents are only roughly 22-24 dollars. My boyfriend's shirt was 13 dollars. And considering the art stuff and cookies and the work that goes into them, I'd say all of them come out about even. XP
☆ And for my Christmas presents, my parents got me:
Volumes 15 and 16 of Special A
The Dark Elf Trilogy by R.A. Salvatore <3 <3 <3
Angry Asian Girl tote bag
Fuzzy socks ( 2 pairs )
Colorful fleece scarves ( 2 striped, 1 blue )
Pajama bottoms ( pink, plaid )
Hello Kitty T-Shirt
Gatsby Hair Wax ( Air Shuffle and Nuance Motion )
Paper Folding Fan
New glasses case ( pink w/ flower pattern <3 )
Mini sewing kit
☆ So yep... pretty much all my presents are stuff I needed anyway, except for the books. But I guess since I NEED to read... then yep, all the presents are pretty useful. ^_^
☆ Oh, and fun fact: when I was at the DnD store, the following scenario happened: Clerk: Hi Miss! Do you need any help? Me: Oh! Do you have a beginner's guide to Dungeons and Dragons? ^_^ At least 3 guys my age in the store: *heads turn in my direction* O_O ☆ According to my mom, the look on their faces said: "OMG CUTE GIRL WHO LIKES DND I'LL TEACH HER TO PLAY IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN." ☆ Then they realized my dad was also with us and looked away. XD
☆ I've been busying myself stressing out over getting ready for college. I just finished my common app stuff last week, and honestly, my essay pretty much sucks. I wanted to write an essay about spending time with my dad... but every time I started writing it, it ended up falling apart at the end because there wasn't really a way I could wrap everything up neatly. =_=;; So I took an essay I wrote last year about my point of view on what makes a "masterpiece" of art, and how it's all relative to the person looking at it, and I edited a bit. ☆ My writing's improved quite a bit since then but... >_< Yeah, honestly I think that's the best thing I could've submitted.
☆ Future note to self; don't wait until the day the application is due to submit it. I checked my common application, and I really hope there's an error, because it says the application was submitted a day late... which wouldn't make any sense, because even though I'm a different time zone, it was the night before when I submitted everything... And everything else says that it was submitted on time. >_<
☆ Well, I can't do anything about it now. TT_TT ☆ I just need to hope for the best and keep looking up! >_< (and even if I get rejected, I'll just apply again next year!)
☆ My math teacher is giving us extra credit to tutor kids in math, so I've gone a couple of times, because I need to raise my grade up... One of my friends who has the same free period as me actually goes with me, because she has an A- and wants an A... ☆ ...I wish I had an A... T_T I'm going because I have a C-.
☆ Gah... being a senior is so hard! There's so much to do, so many responsibilities, and I'm totally disorganized. >_< Urgh...
☆ Okay, I MUST FOCUS. ☆ Today I need to finish taking my physics notes, read two chapters for English, finish my history reading, finish my history essay, finish my math worksheets, and work on my art project... And non homework related, I need to do some laundry, go to the store and get more post-its and erasers, and find my missing field trip form... ☆ I CAN DO THIS.
☆ *OPTIMISM* ☆ Now for some music to pump me up and get me energized...
