so now i am 18 and it is second semester of senior year. it's weird, yet cool.
i hate school more than ever. it's ridiculous. i hate the administration. i hate the rules. i hate the fact that everytime i walk in that place i pretty much get hives. i have to hand it to some of the teachers though, they are pretty neat. mrs. harkness is pretty much my hero; i pretty much wet myself in that class. seriously though, if it wasn't for the social aspect, the teachers that make me laugh, and the hot tech ed teacher i would probably give up.
i got a mac, pretty much the best investment ever.
i got to france in 48 days. scary. it seems like yesterday when we were counting down from 150 days. we chose our roommates for paris and i have to say that is an insane room. abbey, jen donegan, amanda gumm and i. yeahhhh.
i bought cigarettes yesterday, with intention to smoke them. yeah, didn't and probably won't.
okayyyy. see you later.

Wow, second semester.
I am kind of scared to see my grades. I pretty much bombed everyone of my exams, except Calculus, where I managed a B.
I must admit that I am also frightened at how fast this semester is going to go. There are so many things that I am looking forward to. It's going to be a whirlwind, that's for sure.
I am so excited for France, it is going to be insane!

calculus

2007-01-15T06:32:20Z

Calc can suck a lemon.
This final is brutal.
Especially when you get done with like a 10 minute section to a problem only to figure out it's wrong. LAME.
This weekend consisted of Lizzi, Devo, Emily Smith and I doing Calculus all night Saturday. Then Lizzi, my friend Brandon who goes to MSOE and is a genius, and I did it from 10 to 4 today. Brandon left at 12 though, so we were forced to fend for ourselves, which made it ten times harder.
I can only think in derivatives and limits now, it kinda bums me out.

I am kinda sick today. Yeah, New Years can do that.
My stepdad walked up to me when I got home this morning and was like ''DO LOUD VOICES HURT YOUR HEAD?'' and started laughing. Good god.
Last night was an amazing night, top notch sailor. Benihana and then the boys'. Oh god, that got rowdy pretty fast.
Hope everyone had a fantastic New Years.

This is probably the most hideous passport picture you will ever see in your life.
And yes, that is a barette hanging from my hair in my picture, I laughed pretty hard so I decided to give you guys a bit of humor. It's circled so you can view it easier.

Just in case you were all scared, I got into UWM.
So, I have yet to here from:
Madison ( which is odd cause my Madison app was complete like 10 days before UWM)
Eckerd
Green Bay (have to send the rest of the stuff in)
YAY!

I hate Thanksgiving with my family sometimes.
So, at dinner, I plan on drinking a reasonable amount of French wine.

2006-11-16T05:52:42Z

All of a sudden I have this huge itch to go to Madison!
It's a shame though, I don't have a high enough GPA to get in. My ACT is good though, and my letters of recommendation as well as personal statement are really good too.
I really want to go there but I doubt that will work out. Shit son, I should have worked harder.

A couple of things:

My senior pictures are going to be amazing, by far. Everyone will be jealous because I took mine in Door County at the most awesome place. They gave me a rose at the end of the session and I felt like a model.

I got pulled over by a state trooper going 70 in a 55 in Door County. Haha, no ticket fo' me beyotchs. Probably 'cause I looked hot, just kidding. I just got a written warning though.

I love my grandparents more than life, seriously. They are amazing and they always have my back.

My papa ignores booeys in the bay and ruins the prop on the boat causing 300 bucks in damage.

Gib and I cannot work shampoo/vaccuum/fragarence (SPELLING?!?!) machines at the car wash.

I am getting a bike tomorrow!!! YAYAYAYAY

I love life and it still hasn't hit me that I have to apply to college soon, that I am a senior in high school and that I am going to France next spring.

Summerfest lineup = amazing!
Anyone up for Guster?!?!

I found out two of my great aunts have cancer last night... I am upset!

I called my hair salon to set up a hair appointment for prom today, I GOT THE LASSSSSSST APPOINTMENT!
exciting!

I need a prom date and I am pretty sure I want to go with this guy that I think would say yes, but I would get embarrassed if I was rejected, so I don't want to ask.

In other news, I am visiting UW Madison the 17th, that's cool.

"The greatest waste in the world is the difference between what we are and what we could become." - Ben Herbster

I read this quote in this inspirational quote book my Nana gave me. It really inspired me.

I was not going to take AP English Lit next year, but I am going to. Why? Because I know I can do it and succeed in it. I was just too intimidated and scared to do it. But, the quote says it all. I could become so much better than what I am and try harder to succeed more.

Today I opened a savings account and I have got to admit I am kind of proud of myself. I have 100 bucks in there, so therefore I feel slightly wealthy. I really need to save times ten million for France. For sure.

Thank God I get paid tomorrow because I am broke right now, I have a whopping 40 some cents! I need to learn budgeting because I suck at it. I have to save for some shit too so it would be worthwhile if I did so.

Also, I have furthurmore decided that school is not too bad. I like all my teachers minus one named Mr. Traska. I really dislike him. I love AP Biology times a thousand, just not the work. But now I need to worry about picking my classes for next year, which blows.

My "Things to Work On" for the New Year:

Save money.
Find out what I want to do in my life.
Maintain my weight.. maybe lose a few.
Improve my diet.
Work out.
Find a boy that I can fall in love with. Sorry for the tackiness, however, saying get a boyfriend sounds desperate, but that is most definatly not the case.
Become a better person.

I also am really sad about the mining accident, it made me cry. I also have become addicted to Lifetime movies lately. I watched one and I was bawling like a family member just died.

Random lyrics I love from Yellow by Coldplay:

Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow,

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know you know I love you so
You know I love you so

So far, it has been a great start to the New Year. For sure.

Matt and AJ, Olive Garden soon? I miss you two so I need to see you guys before you leave!

1st semester needs to end..
I am sicker than a dog and can barely gather energy to type, let alone write a literary critique on Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey. Oh yeah and I don't even have the sheet that says what needs to be done because I didn't go to school today.
I have a chronic cold, not even lying. I am ALWAYS sick it seems. God damn.

The Apprentice was disappointing.

1) Randall won, when Rebecca was the better choice.

2) Randall, when asked if Rebecca should be hired, said that there should only be one Apprentice and said no. What a pompous bitch, honestly. Poor Rebecca, I would have punched Randall in the face.

Egh, I get into my reality shows too much.

accident

2005-12-08T02:16:29Z

My car got backed into today.

AKA some stupid bitch didnt check her blindspot and backed into me, got out of the car and said, "OMG IM SOO SORRY I HIT YOU MY WINDOW HAD FROST ON IT!"

Funny she didnt tell the cop that, and funny that I am getting blamed for half of it when I was STATIONARY. Yeah she lied. Her car didn't even have dust settled on it.

The estimate came back at 1600 which makes my day fabulous.

AND, after I got in that accident I reversed it and hit another car, luckily no damage and the guy didn't even want my information. However, the girl who hit me's dad didn't want me to take it to the insurance company but my mom and I did. So the loser goes and tells the insurance company that I hit this other car like its going to affect him. Newsflash buddy, I have 2 WITNESSES to the accident who where in my car that said it wasn't an ounce of my fault. You have none. So my mom and I are going to talk to the cop and see what we can do.

Nick: What's with the Bandaids?

Zeiger: Thats what happens when you are 62 and decide to become a streetfighter.
