~Things Are Happening~

So, as of today, I am officially done with school!!!!! I'm taking my last tests today. I will be receiving my diploma in June, and I am really excited. I've also gotten a new cousin! Gage Christian was born Tuesday, and from the pictures I've seen, he's a very cute baby. I guess I will see him sometime, though I'm not sure when. Work's been going pretty good. Made some new friends, who will probably be out at our house pretty soon. So, that would be more people for mom to feed. The grocery bill will definetly get higher since a few of those friends are guys.
I've also developed a new liking for a show called Supernatural. Mom and Dad bought a few of the seasons and all three of us girls have fallen in love with it. I'm not your average girl though, I mean, don't get me wrong, the guys in the show are hott!, but I also like the guns that they use. Plus its about ghosts, demons, and a bunch of other paranormal type things. I've also started to like the show House. A little different than the shows I usually watch, but that's okay. It's really funny. by the way- I'm gonna say it again! I'm DONE WITH HIGHSCHOOL!

Just Around The Corner~

Well, My 18Th birthday and Graduation are just around the corner. I still have some schoolwork left to do, but it isn't really that much and can be done within two weeks. I'm still employed, but might have to look into adding a second job to the plate. College is more expensive than I had thought and don't think even a scholarship will help that much. I have to go to the college sometime this week and find out what else they need me to do besides send the SAT scores and financial stuff to them. I know I have to take the CPT test in August, but that's when I'm signing up for classes.
Anyway- for my VERY LAST English project, I was supposed to write a speech. Well, since I'm not really that good at speaking in front of people and really didn't want to do exactly what they wanted me to, I decided to write a speech here telling everyone how I feel about graduation and taking the next step in life:

To be honest, I'm terrified. I don't think anything has scared me like becoming an adult and facing the world. I hate the fact that I'm this one little minnow in this humongous sea. I've started getting nervous of how life "on my own" will be like. I've heard my parents and others that I seek advice from talk about financial problems and how even pinching pennies sometimes doesn't work. I've always strived for "perfection" in things that I do. (aside from school) If I didn't get it right the first time, I would get frustrated and never end up finishing it. I can't do that anymore. I'm not just trying to figure out how a toy works or what a word is in a certain book. If I decide to quit anything in my life as an adult, I could lose alot. I know that I have a lot of people backing me up and helping me get back up if I fall, and I think that's what making me stable right now. I know that no matter what mistakes I make, they'll be there with a helping hand.

fun fun fun!!!

Been missing for about a week or so.... went to Disney with my family. Mom and Dad said they would always take me before I turned 18... well, they did it with about 25 days to spare. Saw Mickey and Minnie, Donald, Mary Poppins, Buzz and Woody, the green soldiers from Toy Story, the Incredibles, and my FAVORITES!!! CHIP AND DALE!!!!!! They were the only characters that I was concerned about seeing! Rode Tower of Terror(twice and will never do it again), Rock and Roller Coaster(Aerosmith) again, twice, and would definitely do that one again. Went to Epcot and saw the fireworks show. Walked around the world. Loved Norway the best!!! And, to top everything off, I rode the Nemo ride at epcot! that was one of my favorite things to do. On a bad note- my phone went through the washer, so no more phone!
