The other side

Well, I'm gloriously, happily, awesomely on the flip side of the AP test!
It's been a hard time in comin', but I'm so glad I took this class. Even if I didn't pass, I learned so much and now I know what to expect from college-level tests.

On May 16th my dad drove me to the church. Only kids from Davis that had the class on B days were there. We went into the gym and set up tables. There was two to a table and the rules were strict. You couldn't open your vacuum-packed multiple-choice test, or the essay prompts, or talk, or sneeze, or move your eyes slightly to the left and right; that could be considered cheating! I felt like Harry Potter, sitting there writing furiously while the "professors" watched you and the clock ticked in the front of the room. Except I didn't use a quill and no one came in on broomsticks and threw fireworks :(  So anyway, I finished the 70 multiple-choice questions, went outside the church with everyone for a break. They had big cinnomon-roll things but I didn't think my stomach could take that much food, or sugar! Then we came back in for 2 hours of essay writing. Fun! The CCOT was super hard! I will post the exact prompt later after I can't get in trouble for releasing it :) (Like I said; strict!) The DBQ was kind of hard but I got in my 3 points of views, 3 additional docs, and 3 groups!! :) The C&C was my favorite. I ended up writing 12 pages. I'm hoping I passed but by July will I really care? Besides, I'll be in Europe so I couldn't care that much! (No, I'm still going to care. A lot. :))
Thanks dad for helping me celebrate with Star Trek in 3D and a yummy smoothie! Love ya! I could not have gotten through this class without you and mom

Senior Flute Recital

*(I'm catching up)* November 21st Another rite of passage as my mom would say! Senior Flute recital! I had probably been practicing and preparing the repertoire for almost two years, not to mention the 8 years before that which allowed me to get to the level required to play the pieces. Cindy told me a Senior Recital wasn't required, but encouraged. It was good practice for auditions, stress and pressure management :) ;) and it was a good motivator to practice. I'm so glad I did it, even if it did seem overwhelming at times. I really started to love the flute during the months leading up to the recital. It was exciting to have something to work for and know that soon I could show what I'd been doing for so many years. I worked hard, but wasn't always the most dedicated student. Priorities often put flute behind school and ballet. Dance is my true passion and has been for so many years, but music has helped with dance and I'm thankful for the balance fl...

Italia

Ciao! We are in Italy! We woke up at four and went to the airport. We cut it close, which means we just didn't have two hours to waste in the terminal;) the flight was so short! Luckily everything with our bags worked out which had been a little worrying since we took EasyJet. We arrived at the Argenti's and almost immediately left to take a train to Venice. Another American family is here staying nearby who are friends so they also came to Venice. It was weird to speak English to someone besides Ruby! Venice was amazing! It's so pretty and colorful. It was very hot and kind of crowded so we didn't stay in touristy parts the whole time. The water is turquoise and the buildings are intricate and charming. It's kind of like Paris but sassy. If that makes sense. We got yummy pizza and gelato. I told the dad my and Ruby 's order for gelato and he thought it was just mine. So I got two scoops! So much ice cream! Italian is so beautiful and basically a combination of...
So my parents are off to Paris with Freestone and Tizzy. Lucky ducks! My grandparents are staying with us some of the time, but a lot of babysitting and homework is in-store for me this next week and a quarter so I was kinda stressed out. I spaced all my homework and remembered at 11 pm last night that I had a 100 question biology test, 2 Honors English assignments (That included reading) and 6 pages of math. So I woke up at 6, did it, planned to do the math during lunch and got ready in about 2.7 minutes. Luckily, I had tutorial so I went to get Algebra 2 help and finished that. Yay! And my science test turned out to be good, I could use notes and a textbook. I am so relieved right now and I think Heavenly Father helped a lot today. The Epic of Gilgamesh has nothin' on me today! :) PS Have fun in Paris guys! We'll miss you but not too much, I mean You're In Paris! :)
