32 days to go!

I can't believe there are only 32 days until I graduate! It's so crazy. I have so much to do in so little time. haha. I still have to make and send out announcements, and finish my schoolwork so I can get my diploma. lol it won't be so bad. I just have to push hard for about two more weeks.

Senior project is finally looking up. The end is in sight. And I did better on my practice AP Caluculus test than I thought I would, and I'm just about positive that I'll get a decent score. So basically once May 14 is over, I'm done with school. Woo hoo! 

A week from today I pick my room for college. Crazy, eh? I'm super excited. I can't wait to find out who my roommates are and have the opportunity to meet so many new people. I love new friends! It's still a little unbelievable that I'm gonna be living on my own. In charge of myself. After 18 years of being dependent on my parents, I'm finally leaving it all behind. I'm so excited but a little nervous too. I'm afraid I'll come to consider Top Ramen and vending machines as balanced meals. My parents were gone for the last two weeks, and it really made me appreciate all they do for me.... and fear slightly for my well-being once I'm on my own. I know how to cook....I just choose not to.

Tribute To Brandon

I can't believe he's really going through with it. He is driving away in approximately 16 hours to start a new life in sunny CA. I know it's only for four months, but its still hard! If I could talk to him without crying this is what I'd say.

I love you Brandon. You mean the world to me. You have done so much for me, more than you even realize. You have always been there when I needed a friend, and you've let me be your shoulder. I love the ability that we have to cuddle and be together whenever, wherever, and know that we are still just Brandon and Stephanwaa no matter what happens! I know you are going to have a blast without me, and maybe that's what scares me most. Maybe you'll have so much fun, and never want to come back to your boring old Utah life. Then what would I do with myself? You bring out a side of me that most people don't get to see. I hope you know that no matter what happens, no matter how far apart we are, I'll never forget what you've done for me. And when I'm famous, I'll dedicate a song to you. That's a promise. I wish you the very best, and you'll always be in my thoughts and prayers. I love you.

I really hope I have the chance to say this to him face to face before he leaves. If not, I'll call him.

TGIF!

This weekend is mine for the taking! My parents are in Hawaii and my siblings are at my grandparents. It's a beautiful thing. I'm gonna get all sorts of cute and go play!

But first, I have to go visit my best friend Brandon. He is moving tomorrow. I don't really know what I'm going to do without him. We are so so close and I'm going to miss him like crazy! I don't even want to think about it. Ugh. everything is changing so fast and I just want to pause it all and take a breather!

But life is good. :) I'm just crazy busy and having a blast! I work my behind off down at the local Chick Fil A. It's surprisingly a very fun job, because I work there with a few of my close friends and we have a rockin boss. I also work for a private school uniform company, which I quite enjoy, because they pay me to travel to Las Vegas and California in the summers. Who could argue with that? 

Anways....it's 8:00 which means..... PARTY!

Me!

Not sure why I'm so wide awake seeing as I got 2...yes 2...hours of sleep last night. I'm exhausted beyond exhaustion to a point where I'm totally wide awake. It's slightly disgusting. Plus, I have to be awake and chipper and cute by 6 am tomorrow. Save us all.

So I guess to start this all off, I'll just let you all know a little about myself. My name is Stephanie, I am 17  years old and a senior in high school. I have a wide range of interests including music, theatre, Ultimate frisbee, playing with friends, watching movies, music, traveling, road trips, being busy, etc. etc. I know I said music twice. :) I'm an addict. haha and proud of it.

I am currently doing an internship at the in-patient pharmacy at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. I absolutely love it, and I definitely want to go to pharmacy school. I have the ability to be exposed to all types of situations without having to deal with bodily fluids, and cutting people open and such. It's great. A year from June, I'm going to take a pharmacy tech course so I can start making some real money. No more Monopoly junk. Then when I graduate from BYU in who knows what, I will apply to pharmacy school at who knows where? Probably NYU. I love New York with all my heart. I am a big city girl stuck in a small town. I need out!

That's all for today. More tomorrow.

Frustration

Yay for my first post to be an angry one. I just wish I could be done with school and move on to bigger and better things. I am graduating from high school in 35 days, I'm supposed to be enjoying myself, not spending every waking moment, and some of my sleeping ones, worrying about all the things other people are supposed to be doing. I hate this.

I'm working on my senior project right now, and lucky me, I got stuck with an incompetent group. I'm trying to help the Boys and Girls club of Utah Valley collect some things from their wish list, but its not going so great. I just wish there was more I could do. I'm just so busy and I feel so overwhelmed. Two other girls are supposed to be helping me, but they haven't done anything significantly helpful the entire time. They expect me to hold their hand through every step of this process. I've never done this either and I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm flattered that they look to me for support, but it is so frustrating when I have a million other things to worry about. I'm just so scared that we won't be able to help the Club, and I feel like the responsibility falls on my shoulders. I hate it.

On a happier note, I'm doing better in my classes than I had expected. Hopefully this will all be over soon. :) Yay for summertime!
