Sorry that I haven’t written in a few days.. Just been busy :)  Spent the entire weekend with Nicole. She just left this morning.  Then I made a yummy white cake w/ white frosting.  Then went running, took a bubble bath, and worked on a school project.  OH! And I made a Facebook account this weekend! FINALLY! It really is all everyone says it is.  I’ve been a myspacer for so long, I really didn’t WANT to use Facebook.  But it is pretty easy.  Today really isn’t that interesting, and I really don’t have a lot to say. Just wanted to update a little.  Au revoir!

So today was pretty normal… Cori and I pretty much ran around at lunch doing our own thing.  Got home at like 1:45ish.. been working on an outline for my science class. JUST FINISHED. 5 pages later. THANK GOD :) And picked out the cover for a magazine project I’m doing in french.   Now watching the Tyra show while helping my grandma make dinner.. stroganoff. One of my faves!  But I’m really just excited for the weekend! Nicole and I are spending it together(: We’re gonna visit a psychic.. which we haven’t done in about a year. It’s always fun to see if they’re a fake or not :) And Michele invited me to go with her to the Lion King Show on the strip Saturday night; she has backstage passes!  Sounds fun, right?  She was my BEST FRIEND in seventh grade.. We were basically attache at the hip.  We kinda grew apart, but I’m excited to be good friends with her again.  I need more girlfriends in my life.. guys are great friends and all, but I need some girls to do my girly things with, ya know?  Like mani/pedis, shopping, guy talk… Someone I can relate to on a feminine level.  And I’ve been attracting more of that currently than I probably ever have in my life.  I’m not concerned with guys right now, really, at all! It’s so incredibly refreshing.  OHHHH. And today I decided two things exactly. 

1) My French teacher convinced me to participate in the Relay for Life event as part of the French Club… So I’ll be walking/running around a track on/off for 12 hours in the middle of the night.  And I have to raise at least $50.  But it’s for a good cause— cancer.  So I’ll suck it up! :)

2) I’m going with my French teacher to France next summer! It’ll cost like $2700 for the whole package, but it sounds like an amazing trip.. I’ll see Versailes, Notre Dame, the Louvre, Arc de Triomphe, the Loire River Valley, etc… All the most exciting places. I’m really excited! :) 

Now I just need a job :P

I’m in the most undescribable mood right now.  I feel pensive and dark, yet optimistic and hopeful for the future.  I decided about a week ago that I wanted to do independent studies next year so I can take the last two years of my high school career in one.  And if that isn’t difficult enough, I’m taking ALL AP classes.  AP Literature. AP Language and Composition. AP Chemistry. AP Physics. AP Calculus AB. AP Calculus BC. AP US History.  AP Economics. AP Government. AP French.  AP Psychology.  Joy, right? But I’m not too upset.  All this hard work should help prepare me for the rigor of colleges I’m looking at.  Stanford. Harvard. Princeton. Yale. Brown. Dartmouth. ETC. But at the top of my list, PEPPERDINE :)   Although not Ivy League, still both difficult and prestigous (sp?).  My mom is calling my former supervising teacher from my freshman year to see if I can knock a couple of these classes out over summer. Which would be EXTREMELY helpful.  Most kids would probably jump off a cliff before VOLUNTEERING their summers.  Then again, I’m not a whole lot like kids my age.  Sure I like to have fun.. occassionally going to parties and everything.  But that kind of fun is just not my focus.   I have goals.  And not vague ones.  Goals I have to work hard NOW to achieve in the future.  

1) Get into the college of my choice with a scholarship.

2) Keep my partying down enough to keep my scholarship.

3) Graduate, majoring in law and business, with a minor in both political science and french.

4) Work in an established law firm for a few years while opening a salon and boutique with my mother (in which both my law and business degrees will come to good use).

5) With enough money saved, begin to buy and sell real estate for profit and open up my own law firm, all the while running the business side of the boutique and salon.

6) Open up a local chain of salons and boutiques, while continuing to run my own law firm and investing in real estate.

7) In my 30s, run for local assemblies, working my way up to becoming a senator by the time I am 40. (Along with my other enterprises)

Sounds like a lot, huh?  I’ve just always wanted a lot out of life.  I want to live life to the fullest.  I want to experience everything.  And Most of all, I want to experience success.  And not only career success.  I want success in my personal life, which I’m assuming will be accompanied with these goals somewhere down the line.  Whenever I try to kick-start my personal life in a romantic way, it never seems to work out… It just isn’t right right now.  And I’m finally coming to terms with that.  The one guy I did have real feelings for didn’t return them in the same way… and I’m finally accepting this.  Everything happens for a reason.  So one day I’m sure I’ll be thanking god for my unanswered prayers :)  Something better has to come out of this, right?

Wow. I didn’t realize how much I had to get off my chest… I’ve been writing for what seems like FOREVER.  It’s 9:42 PM, and I didn’t take my nap today.. I’m pretty tired!  Goodnight :)
