Look who's 18

So it is now almost 2011. I graduate in 5 months and it seems so weird. I turned 18 a few weeks ago, and I have plans to get a tattoo. It seems like its been forever since the time I started this blog. Looking back at some of my earlier writing, it makes me think that I have slowly digressed. I really like my poetry from a few years ago, especially since I haven't written anything in a really long time. I never have the time or inspiration anymore.

I'll update all of you about the past months. After school let out, i did nothing the first part of summer, oh I did voulnteer at my high school library a few times such fun. Then, I went to Alumni Camp for FFA, which was even more fun.. yippee.. We did lots of sharing, my favorite of course. In July, I got a job at Little River Zoo. Let me just say for a first job it pretty much sucked. I had three seven hour days of training, with no pay. Then, I had three more days of training that I would have gotten paid for if I had stayed three months. Turns out I could only last two weeks of actually working. These two weeks were horrible. When you think of a zoo, what do you usually imagine people doing? Taking care of animals right? Wrong. I worked in the commissary cutting up vegetables all freaking day. One day I worked 13 hours with no lunch and no break. Then I got a lecture about working harder. Anyway once school started I quit.

High School hasn't really recquired much effort this year. I only have two classes, English IV and Calculus. College wasn't bad either, I just had political science and Spanish. My spanish teacher is awesome and she is fluent in almost 4 languages. Next semester, I am taking her class again as well as medical terminology.

Back to my work experiences. I am now employed at University Animal Hospital. It took them two months to call me back so I had pretty much given up on getting a job there, but what do you know I have been working there almost two months now. I really like it even though I have a crappy schedule. The people are all really helpful and understanding.

My life hasn't really changed that much. Besides the added stress of work, I get to worry about scholarships and the ACT. I got my latest score results from the December test. I got a 31 hooray for me, now if only that were good enough for everyone. The thing I have been thinking about lately is that I always blame everyone else for wanting me to be perfect, but I kind of put it upon myself. I don't think I could live with being average or letting people down. It really aggravates me because sometime I'm not going to be able to do something and it's going to make me go insane. Like the ACT, what if I never get higher than a 31? What would I do? The answer is I DO NOT KNOW. This sucks.

I still don't have a boyfriend and I'm starting to think I never will. I don't know how to really connect to people I don't know. Heck, I don't know how to connect to people I do know. Oh well if I'm ever a super genuis I'll just use mind control to make someone understand me. HA I amuse myself. :)

Adios No Se when I shall post again....yay for spanglish.

So anyway.

I have realized there is a similar quality in all of the first sentences of my blogs. Ha, I always start out by mentioning how long its been since I posted something, which is relavent. I haven't posted anything in a very log time. School is almost over now, and I have already finished my college class. So I'll do a recap.

Kayla and I took a college alebra this spring, our teacher was really nice, but he was a retired engineer which made him really boring. He was always bring up useless stuff that none of the class wanted to hear about. Speaking of the class, it was a general ed at a community college so it was basically made up of the biggest slakers in school. There were only three A's in a class of 30 and Kayla and I were two of them so there you go. The brightside is that I got to drop earth science, economics, and yearbook to take it.

Prom has come and gone, and it seems like it was even more boring than last year. I did like my dress more though. It was black, blue, yellow and green. It didn't have many embellishments on it which I loved. Kelsey's was pink yeesh and kayla's was white, they both looked really pretty. I of course got a major sunburn two days before hand at the DUI demonstation. So i had a lovely red ring down into my cleavage. Besides that it was alright, there was the usual hump train so i only danced a few songs. Oh and me and kelsey had chinese food again.

School is over in a week and I have decided not to take college classes this summer. I thought I would work on my volunteer skills and maybe try to get a job at a vet clininc. Finding somewhere to volunteer is a lot harder than you think, i figured everyone would want volunteer I mean who wouldn't it's free labor right? But it's a lot more difficult than that, you have to fill out buttloads of paperwork and can't work around animals unless a guardian is present when you are under 18. I will try my best though and hopefully have a lot of fun. Look at me being positive, I'm just so proud of myself.

Au Revoir until next time whenever that may be.
