Looking back on 2010 =)

"When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you, but because in that brief moment when the coin is in the air, you suddenly know what you're hoping for."- No Idea


I am in a horrible mood (I always find these great times to publicly record my thoughts, for some reason). I'm not sad, just BLAAAHH. Like one of those moods where my soul could be rotting in an underground cave, and I’d just be like, “Oh, that sucks. I think I’m going to watch the same pointless movie again.”
I am WORN OUT! I am so stressed I could cry!!! I just have no will to apply to any more colleges or do anymore work. I’m tired, and I’m pissed because I overloaded myself with too many AP classes and too many online classes. What the heck is with these online classes anyway? Gosh, it’s the stupidest idea, but of course, I think it’s great. If I was capable of learning anything from a computer I would drop out of school and google all day. Argg. Depending on how this entry pans out, I’m either going to finish writing my essay for Brown or bake some brownies. (Ha! I wasn’t even planning on the Brown-brownie thing. I must be a literary genius!)
I’m definitely leaning toward the latter.
Okay, Virginia, why are you even applying to Brown? Don’t you think Yale, Harvard, and D-mouth are enough?? I hate you for already sending your fee waiver request there. Just kidding, Virginia, I don’t hate you. Oh and you already sent some recommendation letters there too… well. That’s okay. You didn’t know the essays were going to be this obnoxious.. Granted, you should have checked…
BLARRGGG!! Okay anyways! Reflective blog on 2010!

January- I made some stupid decisions. I also decided, rashly as I make all decisions in my life ( Don't worry, this ended up being a really good decision) to audition for Wizard of Oz, mainly because Robbie begged me too. I love Robbie so much, when I remember this. I was cast as the Wicked Witch of the West.

February- I made another smart decision.

March- I took a fun trip to the water plant with AP Chemistry, and also a fun trip to Miami with my engineering team. I continued busying myself with school work. A very good month, might I add :)

April- This month was the opening night of Wizard of Oz!! It was simultaneously exhausting and thrilling, and infinitely rewarding. Elaine came down to see it, and it definitely put some more happy into my life.

May- AP exams! After that, AP chem and I had a blast! Two words- smoke bombs ;) I also watched my seniors graduate and listened to lovely speeches given by Elena and Kevin. I realized that in just a year, it would be me up on that stage. Most importantly, I started reading about my hot new boyfriend, Harry Potter.

June- So the fun begins :D I began taking Spanish 2, my first class via FLVS. I also traveled up to Boston and began taking classes at BU as part of the High School Honors program. I met Jessica and Lucia.

July- I spent magical moments with my family, especially Jeanne and my baby cousins. I continued working my butt off for the summer program and watching plenty of my Red Sox on the telly, and at Fenway Park once. I also traveled to the Cape and to Maine. I continued wandering the city on the trains with my monthly pass. I took trips with my BU girls (Boston harbor cruise, shopping and the movies); as well as some solo excursions to Government Center and the Pru. My little cousins and Jeanne met me in Boston for a lovely day at the aquarium.

August- I took my exams and said goodbye to my beautiful family. I cried and cried and cried, but I knew that Jeanne's home would always be open to me. I received a B+ in both my classes. It wasn’t what I wanted, but it wasn’t the end of the world either. I came back to Florida, unhappily, and started school again. I rashly (as usual) decided to take Gov and Econ as AP classes online, to add on to 2 AP classes I was already taking, not to mention my honors classes.

September- I got back into the flow of school and began filling out the Common App. I even went to the first football game.

October- Homecoming, senior sale, and more football games! I came to appreciate my school a little better. I also continued reading the Harry Potter series (I was only on the 4th book). I said good-bye forever, to my amazing grandmother.

November- I applied Early Decision to Dartmouth and performed in the fall play. My performance was okey dokey and my birthday was the next day! I didn’t do anything special, but I turned legal ;) I saw Deathly Hallows at the midnight premiere with Toto and, oh my patronus, was it spectacular!! I saw it two days later with my brother for his birthday. Harry Potter, I will marry you. Hermione, I want to be you. I also built the best bridge ever.

December- I finished Order of the Phoenix, one of my favorite books ever. I read the amazing and emotional book that was Deathly Hallows, concluding my newly discovered love affair with the wizarding world. (Well, not really concluding, considering the fact that I'm already re-reading, and my dad keeps renting the movies)  I also got deferred to regular decision from Dartmouth, but I was more upset about Fred Weasley anyway. The rest of this month has been a  blur of rushing to finish my online exams. All of my actual school exams were a breeze. Oh, and I also discovered the phenomenon that is Starkid Potter and A Very Potter Musical :D. I had a lovely little Christmas with my brother, dad, grandpa, uncle Bryan, and family from Virginia (hardy-har-har) at my grandpa's house which is a couple hours away. I met my soon to be cousin in law

Well, entry is complete and I still don’t know what to do about my homework, but I actually feel a lot better.

Goodbye 2010 and sucks to your ass-mar! I have even better things coming my way! :D

Oh man, I almost forgot!
