Saturday April 25
Major changes are coming soon...Anyways, AP exams are coming up in 7 more days! I'm only taking two but I'm still stressing since I procrastinate and I still haven't reviewed everything. On the other hand, prom is also coming up on May 16th, the Saturday after the last day of AP exams. Thank goodness. Everyone deserves to relax after those exams.
Thinking about the exams now...I just realized that starting this week, school for us seniors is finally over (not literally...and not counting the APs). For the ones not taking the AP exams, they ARE free starting tomorrow. Ahhhh I'm so excited!
That means in 43 days I will be graduating and two days after that I get to go back to Taiwan!!! When I come back in a month and a half I'll finally be off to college and that makes me so happy. I was actually super depressed and all because I didn't want to grow up, but now I can't wait. Even though it'll be really hard for me to get used to being without my parents hopefully my friend can keep me on track =)

A few major things have happened this past two weeks. The first is my mom left this morning for Taiwan because my grandpa's surgery. I wanted her to just stay there until June when we go back so she won't have to go back and forth but she insisted on coming back so she'll be gone for about a month...then it's back to Taiwan again. The other thing is I was offered the CAP program from my first choice school. CAP is when we go to another school under the same branch like University of Alabama in Montgomery is the main one but the other ones are like University of Alabama in Athens or something (just made up names, so I doubt they're correct). So I accepted the program and I'll be able to transfer to the school my sophmore year IF my GPA is 3.2 or above and some other requirements. So...it's not bad.
Next thing is prom...I'm dateless. That is so depressing to say out loud and when people ask me who I'm going with to prom I just shrug. It's kind of embarrassing to be the only one in my group without a date. I mean, some of the guys don't have dates but that's different...to girls prom is a HUGE thing (even though I'm mostly indifferent) and they want it to be special and not spent dateless. I asked my friend from another school if he would go if I didn't have a date before prom and he said he would if he had enough money, since he has to pay for his prom too. Then my best friend, the kind person that he is, was almost scolding me by telling me how low it was of me to do that. Of course I got real pissed and he apologized for offending me.
Honestly though, what's so bad about asking a guy once in a while? Plus, I should ask him since it's my school's prom not his school's prom.
One more thing I wanted to bring up was the death of a classmate of mine. It was on the news Monday night that I found out he was missing. At first I was skeptical, not thinking that it was someone I know, then when they showed his picture and described him as "hearing impaired" I realized that it was him. Then yesterday they confirmed that the body they found was his and that he had been shot several times. Even though I only spoke to him a few times I feel so shocked and my heart aches for his mother since he was the only family left.
I can't believe how horrible some people are, he was killed over an argument and his car was found in Georgia, about 8,000 miles from here I believe. I think the main reason I feel this way is because he reminded me of my cousin. When I first saw him and realized he was hearing impaired I was immediately attracted to him (not in romantic way) but emotionally since my cousin is also hearing impaired. And when he spoke he sounded like my cousin. It felt like I lost a family member.
Yea, I get emotional real easily...but that's okay. Right?

So obviously there is a new layout, and I'm going to fix some errors that's around the site later. Didn't change the tagboard colors 'cause I'm too lazy haha. I like the layout, but the more I look at it the weirder it gets...oh well. I've never been in an hot air balloon and honestly, I don't think I'd want to. I'm scared of heights even though I enjoy the thrill I get when I do rock climbing or zip lines. Hot air balloon is different though, I'd rather not go floating around a few hundred feet in the air with no rope to secure me in case I fall.
Spring Break...suppose to be awesome and all. I've done nothing except go to work a day, watch movies at home, and prom dress shopping. I hate dress shopping, whether for prom or homecoming, always such a pain to try on dress after dress. If everyone in the world went naked no one would be ashamed of their bodies. So I propose that everyone go naked. Except for the people that lives in freezing cold areas like Alaska.
So far I've found about 4 dresses that I like. I already bought one of them and the other 3 I'm still contemplating. Why must this be so hard. If I were a rich girl I'd buy them all.
