It's been almost a week since my last post! Things have gotten crazy in the past week. I've been working, Summer had her birthday party, and there are tests going on at school. This will be a quick post.
Summer's birthday party was fun until I got sick and came home in the middle of the night. I took some videos, but I don't know if any of them will be on Youtube or not. It all depends.
In Indiana, you have to pass several different Core 40 tests in order to graduate. This year I have to take English. We took session one today and we're taking session two tomorrow. I thought it went really well, but tomorrow's the essay and that's the part I'm worried about.
Thursday is the AP world history exam which I am incredibly nervous about. We have to write three essays! Plus, it's hard to remember the whole entire history of the world. We've been reviewing. I do pretty well on things we learned recently but not so good on things we learned at the beginning of the year. At least I don't have to pass it to graduate, but if I do pass it, I'll get college credit.
Overall, it's been incredibly stressful lately. I am so tired. I just wish I could do nothing for a little while. I can't wait until summer break. I don't think I've ever wanted school to be out this badly.

Feliz Cinco de Mayo
We had a sub in world history today so all we did was work on worksheets, and in art all I did was work on my drawing.
In personal finance, we took two tests and then just worked on homework the rest of the time. Since I was done with all of my work, I just read.
We celebrated Cinco de Mayo in Spanish today. I brought in Mexican corn which was corn, zucchini, red bell pepper, jalapenos, green onions, cilantro, and salsa all mixed together. Not many people ate it. I don't blame them. I didn't like it either. It was extremely spicy.
Since we were eating in the classroom anyway, a few of us didn't even go to lunch. I spent my lunch in the Spanish classroon writing. Yep, it's another Avatar: The Next Genration one-shot. Believe it or not, it's actually about Cinco de Mayo. How did I manage that? I made Cinco de Mayo a Fire Nation holiday. It will all be explained when I get around to uploading the story. I'm actually really happy with it. It's longer than the other one-shots I've posted, and I'm really happy with how it turned out.
Oh yeah, and we also finished watching The Princess and the Frog. It was really cute.
We didn't do much in English except go over vocab, read part of Julius Caesar, and go to the lab to work on our research papers.
There probably won't be a blog tomorrow because I have to work. In other news, if anyone happens to be a UK fan, my dad and sister are going to meet part of the team tomorrow. Kind of cool I guess, even if I'm not a fan.

Cocina para Cinco de Mayo
We registered for the AP world history test today. The actual test is next week. I'm pretty nervous about it. Hopefully, I'll pass and be able to get college credit.
I wasn't in art for very long because I went up to the guidance office to work on my schedule for next year. I had to change a few of my classes. I couldn't take these two social studies elective classes or anatomy like I wanted. Now I'm taking accounting (the absolute only thing that would fit in that slot other than wood shop), astronomy, and AP biology. I actual want to take astronomy. I was originally going to take AP bio, but then I decided to take anatomy instead. Apparently, that's changed. A few of my other classes may have been knocked out when I switched those too, but I'm not sure. I think we get our schedules next week, so then I'll find out for sure. I do know that I am going to have more homework next year then I've probably had every other year in school combined.
In personal finance we went to the lab to work on our projects. Since I'm already done, I worked on homework and read.
We took a vocab quiz in Spanish and also reviewed for our test on Thursday. We're celebrating Cinco de Mayo tomorrow. Everyone has to bring in food, and I'm bringing in Mexican corn. I have to make it later. Hopefully, everything turns our all right. Last year, I made some corn thing for Dias de los Muertos and it was horrible. At school, the teacher was the only person who ate any, and we gave all of the leftovers to my aunt because she was the only one who actually liked it.
We didn't do much in English. We went over some of our papers that had been graded and the rough drafts of our persuasive letters. Then, we went to the computer lab to start working on our research papers (everyone's doing it on teen drinking).
I'm really disappointed that I haven't gotten the next chapter of Avatar: The Next Generation up yet. I had planned to have it up a week ago. The whole chapter is written, but it still needs to be edited. Hopefully, I'll get it up today or tomorrow. I would say I could almost definitely get it up today, but I don't know how long it's going to take to make the food for Spanish. It will definitely be up soon though.
(To anyone who speaks Spanish, I'm incredibly sorry if the title is horribly wrong. I can't believe that I'm actually passing Spanish class...)

Confirmation
Saturday was pretty uneventful. Or at least, I can't think of anything that happened, so I'm asuming nothing interesting did.
Yesterday we went to my cousin Michael's First Communion. He'll never see this, but congratulations Michael!
Afterwards, we went to pick up my best friend Summer so she could come to Confirmation with my family.
At 5:45 my uncle/godfather/sponsor and I had to go down to the church to practice everything. Then at 6:30 we went to have a talk with the Bishop before mass. At 7:00 the Confirmation mass finally started. My family filmed parts of it. I'll probably put bits of it up on Youtube.
So, I'm Confirmed now. Yay!
That's all I really have to say right now. School was the same as usual. I have to register for the AP world history exam tomorrow. I also have to go work on next year's schedule at some point tomorrow because it's the last day I can do it.

The Book Thief
It's late and normally I wouldn't have bothered to write a blog today, but since I haven't written one since Wednesday, I figured I should.
I don't really have much to talk about. I've worked the past two days.
I can't believe my Confirmation is tomorrow! I'm kind of nervous... There probably won't be a blog tomorrow because after Confirmation my best friend Summer is spending the night. (Yes, on a school night. It's a long story.) I'll definitely have a blog about Confirmation though. Hopefully, it goes well. My cousin Michael's First Communion is tomorrow too. It looks like I'll be at church a lot tomorrow (two different churches though).
I finished The Book Thief by Markus Zusak today. Remember how I kept saying how boring it was? Well, I understand what's so awesome about it now. In all honesty, if I hadn't been reading most of it at work (while really wanting to go home) I probably would have liked it from the beginning. Although I still feel the beginning was a little boring, the ending was amazing! I probably would have cried if I wasn't at work and people weren't coming in and interrupting me. I definitely recommend it. I feel like the ending was worth being bored during the beginning. Is that weird? I thought it was interesting how you're told what's going to happen before it happens, and yet it's still interesting to read what happens. That probably made no sense to anyone who hasn't read the book (or maybe even people who have).
I think that's all I really have to say. Hopefully, I can get to sleep tonight and don't sit up worrying about all of the ways Confirmation could go wrong.
