Hello there!
I have an English term paper due tomorrow so I think I'll blog as an excuse to put off writing it.
Last Friday was prom and I can honestly say I enjoyed myself. In the days leading up to the event I had a sort of "lets just get it over with" attitude, but I actually ended up having a good time. The only thing that bothered me the whole night was that Nora and I kept being harassed by everyone we knew to dance more. I figured our friends would be proud that we even got on the dance floor, but, apparently not.
Anyway, going to prom reminded me that my days left at Middletown High School are very limited. I wish I could just enjoy the rest of my senior year, but since my teachers choose to keep giving me pointless work, that's not going to happen.

Grin and Bear it
I had a somewhat interesting week.
After APs were over, it was time for the NHS induction/graduation thing. It was a lot quicker than last year and I actually almost enjoyed it. One of my invited inspiring teachers gave me a 25$ gift card to borders which I thought to be a lovely gesture. I also got to see Mrs. Mac again! She was my 6th grade English teacher and she was probably one of the only nice people I encountered throughout those horrifying years of middle school. I was worried that she wouldn't remember me, but her enthusiasm suggested otherwise.
The dessert that they served afterwards was very excellent (especially the cream puffs). While I was rushing over to snatch me some eats, Claudia tried to hi-five me but hit me right in the nose. Being the fragile child that I am, my nose immediately started gushing out blood. Luckily, Alexis was there to help, and she seemed to know exactly how to handle the situation.
Yesterday, while I was working at Panera, I encountered the meanest customer I've had in the 5 months I've had this terrible job. She was rude, she kept complaining and yelling, and she even went as far as to insult me. I'm sorry, but if I'm being nice to you, you better be nice to me. Of course, I just had to smile at her, hand her the bagel, and tell her to have a nice day. I wish I had just a little bit more nerve. If I did, I would have jumped over that counter and shown her who's boss. Unfortunately, college is very expensive, and I need this job over the summer so I can save up my money.

Double Trouble
So I took the AP Biology and Physics Exams today. 8 hours of standardized testing. It was a very mentally exhausting day.
I felt kind of uncomfortable being in a little office all by myself taking the bio test with Ms. Degra watching me in a hawk-like manner. She kept saying things that made me feel slow like "fill in the name of the school. You go to Middletown High School. Make sure you write Middletown High School." I think anyone taking an advanced placement test knows the name of the school they go to and how to color in ovals. It also didn't help that she started eating at one point during the exam, either. There was only a desk separating her and myself, so I could hear her chewing which was just about enough to make me want to take my own life.
Anyway, now that those 2 AP tests are over, Physics and Bio should pretty much be free periods. I'm glad that my life is finally beginning to become less stressful as we approach the months of summer.
