Party!

Yesterday was a day filled with fun, excitement, and graduation parties. I went to five. I attended four in Norwalk before heading out to Monroeville for my lovely girlfriend, Alaina's party. I spent the rest of the day there playing volleyball, nuke em', swimming, and playing cornhole along with eating. It was a blast and her party was most definitely a success. It was also her birthday so that worked out pretty well. I got her a pair of earrings for graduation and a necklace for her birthday. I gave her the earrings first and didn't say anything about the birthday present that I saved for later so it was a pretty awesome surprise. She loved both, thank goodness! Haha, those would have been a real bummer to return. I'm trying to keep busy, so yesterday was definitely successful in that way. I miss both my sisters very much and cannot wait til I see them again. That's all for today.

I got it!

Hey ya'll, I gots me a new lapytopy! This means that it will be easy and convenient to post! Yay! I do apologize that my blog may not be as pretty and snazzy as some of my relatives, but as of now, I have no camera to add pictures with, so we'll just have to stick to the basics. That's all for today, see ya!

Back...again

Well, it has been forever since I have posted. I apologize. Blogspot.com has been blocked from our school computers (shortly after my last post) and I have not found a convenient way to post since. What to say...life has been crazy. I got appendicitis, had an emergency appendectomy, performed in the musical, went to D.C. on our senior class trip, have been working like crazy, had my wisdom teeth and an impacted tooth removed, and Alaina and I passed our 6 monthiversary, etc. All in all, life never stops.

It is now Spring Break. I work several nights this week and Alaina has quite a few softball games. We're planning a date for our 6 months for Friday which should be quite enjoyable as always. Why is it that teachers always seem to think that the word break corresponds with the phrase, "a crapton of homework"? I have around 5 pages for A.P. Bio, close to 300 questions for A.P. Psych, 28 pages for A.P. Calc, and at least an hour of reading and questions as well as 4 separate stories to read for A.P. English. I object. I'm thinking about starting a peaceful revolt against ungodly amounts of homework over break, will anyone join me?

One problem with my teachers assigning all of this homework is that 95% of it is online...and the website has been down all day, as well as our school e-mail. I'm confused as to how I'm supposed to get any of this done...I'll probably leave the problem solving for later, along with the homework. Urg, no, I will get on it tomorrow and get something done.

I am graduating in a little over one month...high school will be over, college will begin, life will drastically change. I am so ready to be done with high school, but at the same time, I know I will miss it. I have decided on attending Heidelberg University in Tiffin this year because West Point did not accept me. I will be a mathematics major enrolled in the Honors Program, which requires 40 hours of community service per semester, playing soccer (hopefully, keep your fingers crossed), and participating in ROTC. It will be crazy. But I look forward to the challenge. My lovely counterpart Alaina will be attending Ashland University, about an hour from Tiffin. Both Heidelberg and Ashland are 45 minutes away from Norwalk, so hopefully we can see each other every now and then.

Well, as you can probably see, life is crazy as always. I could probably keep on updating you as such, but I'll quit doing so for now. TTFN, Ta-Ta For Now!

Time

We have to write an in-class-essay for A.P. English over Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse. I'm not really looking forward to it, but hopefully I can at least get an 8. It's graded out of 9, so that would be very good. This weekend is Lil' Sibs Weekend at Marrietta, so Timothy and I are heading out Friday after school to go visit her. I'm very much looking forward to this, it will be so much fun visiting my sister, and remembering the great fun that last year's turned out to be, it will be hard not to have a great time. Only 3 weeks left til musical, it's gonna be really tight getting everything straightened out in time. I feel as if I'm rambling. I'm going to prom with Alaina, I asked her tonight, it's gonna be great fun. Umm...I can't think of much else right now, just thought I'd let people know what's going on.

It's the End of the World as We know It

I just thought it'd be fun to scare everyone with that title. Hehe. I'm not actually planning on the world ending anytime soon. Life is pretty good right now. I started lifting with the football team because I want to get stronger. It's already working, which is awesome. I'm going to need to be a whole lot stronger than I currently am for West Point. I also have been doing pushups every morning when I wake up, and every night before I go to sleep. I'm kind of proud of my progress so far as this is the best I have ever done with a New Year's resolution. Our basketball team is currently second in the league and doing very well, especially when you consider the fact that we have 2 starting freshman, and one of them is the second leading scorer.

One event I am really looking forward to is Lil' Sibs weekend at Marrietta in February. I'm sure we have a ton of musical stuff, but I don't care. I am going to visit my sister along with at least one of my younger brothers. Last year was such a blast I can't imagine not going this year.

Pittsburgh is once again in the Super Bowl. I don't want to start talking about a dynasty or any of that crap they did with the Patriots, because I absolutely abhor the Patriots. I just think that it's awesome that they are there again especially when they have been predicted to lose in both playoff games thus far by quite a few people. I personally feel that we have the edge over Green Bay, but I know it will be a great game, and I'm looking forward to it.

I can't really think of much else to write about now, but I will attempt to post more often, no that is not one of my New Year's resolutions, so no promises.

Back to the Grindstone

That's exactly what I feel like I'm doing, going back to the grindstone. Christmas break was wonderful this year, spending time with family, having nerf wars, hanging out with Alaina's family, etc. I couldn't have asked for a more fun and relaxing time. Then of course came the homework that I had to do before we had to go back to school. I was proud of myself as this year I did about half of the homework before the last night. School...is a drag. I'm constantly tired, and wish that midterms were never invented. Today went well, but I have Calc, and English tomorrow. We had a 2 hour delay today, so my A.P. Bio exam is moved to Tuesday. Yay, another 5 days to wait to study.

I also had my birthday last week. 18, this is weird. Alaina is planning to take me out for my birthday on Friday. I chose Roadhouse because it's my favorite. We are also going to the basketbasll game in Willard which should be fun because they're our rival in Basketball and we have a fairly good team this year. All in all, life is crazy again. Hopefully I'll remember to post more often...maybe.
