Senior year

FrenchFriesForeverLeave a comment

Everyone said that senior year was easy. It has been anything but easy. I have never had as much work as I have had this year. Every class has been giving endless amounts of homework. The classes that are giving the most are the all senior classes. Out of school I’m also endlessly busy, after school every day I have to work 2-3 horses. I get home every night around 7 or 8pm. Then I have all the homework that every class has been giving, it is simply too much. Then on top of it all there are college applications. I simply can not wait for the second semester, when I don’t have to worry about getting the best grades and when I won’t have college stuff to worry about. Almost all the seniors that I have talked to have similar thoughts about the work load, none of us like it. Then school also wants us to step up as student leaders, like we have time for that. After these past few weeks I’m not even looking forward to going to collage, it’s just another 4 years of school. I do hear good things about it, like how much more freedom you get and all that but I was also hearing that about high school and specifically senior year. That didn’t end up being true.

Plans For The Future

bartholomulethegreatLeave a comment

So far in my life, I have had many experiences that have shaped me into the person I am now. I have traveled all over places including Canada, Germany, and Mexico and all of these places have shown me different cultures and people. I have had the privilege to learn to snowboard and I have been riding dirt bikes for over ten years now. Even with all this under my belt, all I can wonder about is what is to come for my future. Such as where am I going to go to college and what will I learn to love, for example, I really want to major in some sort of computer-related degree such as computer science or computer engineering. But I also want to do outdoor activities such as snowboarding and dirt-biking. So I will have to find places in which I can do both, the convenient thing about the career path that I would like to have is that it allows me to work in almost any place and almost any category of work. For example, if I wanted to live in the mountains in a place where I could snowboard in the summer and dirt bike in the summer I could and I would be able to do that while also being able to do my work from home or work on the mountain in some way. All I know now is what I can do to help myself go towards that goal, I can learn to code better and I can apply to colleges that may lead to what I want to have in life but all I know now is that the future is a really interesting and scary thing that I have very little control over and I cant wait to see.

Collages

I’ve decided that I really enjoy making collages.

There’s a free app for the iPhone called InstaCollageFree that lets you make super cool compositions.

Electing to exercise my assembling talents on my friends, I made a series of Catalina Sea Camp collages to pass time.

Sonia Grunwald, Melissa Ballard, Ursula Granirer, Isabel Kirk, Alex Dierking, Brooke Browning, Kimmery Galindo, Roxi Harvey, & me

The app gives you a bunch of different frames you can just load your pictures into.  I personally like the one that looks like a postcard, with a stamp reading, “True Love” in the corner.

You can adjust the background color and the color of the lines between the pictures.Read More »

The SAT

Today I took the SAT for the second time.  I took it once before last year. I, like most first time takers of the test did not do nearly as well as I would have liked to.  So for the second time I devoted about five hours of my saturday to taking a ten sectioned test that tests reading math and writing.

I will say it is probably one of the hardest tests I have ever taken and even will take.  The questions are misleading and the constant jump between subjects make it long and arduous.

Although it seems impossible to tell how I did on it without seeing my scores, I feel I may have done better than my previous attempt, I guess all I can do is wait and see if I’ll be going to college or not when I get my results.
