My Hair's Wet...

But I guess that's what a shower will do to ya, right?

I can't believe this school year is over. 9 months of struggling with math, history, english, and everything else is almost over. When I think of what's happened this year, I can't help but laugh. It's been an insane year. Am I ready to be a senior? In some ways, yes. In others, no. But one thing's for sure: Look out Taylorsville. Cuz I'm in charge, now. ;)

A few things I remember from this year...

August: On one of the first days of school, before the madness that was Seussical, Jaron, Alan, and I sat out by one of the relos and just talked. It's been one of my favorite memories. It was just us three. And all we did was sit, and talk. No interruptions. Nothing to rush off and do. No homework to do. If you ask me, best friends and silence make the best memories.

November: Sadies. I got to go to a dance with one of my best friends. How lucky am I?!

February: Birthday!! Ahh!! Sweethearts... oh man, I had the best time ever...

April: Prom. Not the conventional dance, that's for sure. ;) Another date with one of my best friends. What can I say, I'm lucky.

May: AP testing. 4 hours of torture. And the rest is yet to come...

Well, that's just a few memories. I love remembering. Let me tell you, I remember some of the stupidest things! It just makes me laugh. So much has happened this year. I've made so many new friends. Can you believe I've only known Nathan since September?! lol. And look at us now. We're insane!

Well, Junior year is almost finished. 4 more days of madness, and then I'm a senior. Can you believe it? I sure can't. I remember walking down the street with one of my best friends in 2nd grade talking about what we were going to do when we turned 16. I had decided that I was going to be tall. I was going to have a red car, and a boyfriend. And I was going to do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. Ha. Ha. Ha. What a dreamer, right? First of all, I'm short. Extremely short. I have a blue (almost purple) truck, and no boyfriend. And there's no way I do everything I want to do. But you know what? I love my life. I think it's even better than I imagined it was going to be. So here's to a great summer, and one more great school year. And then I'm out of here. ;) Look out world. Here I come. ;)

There's a Pick in My Guitar...

Yup. There's often a pick in my guitar. I drop it in there accidentally when I play. Then it takes me like 20 minutes to get it out. What can I say? I'm defficient.

It's Kortney's birthday. Happy Birthday, babe! You're amazing. And old. ;)

Region dance tonight at my stake center. Partay.

I went to the TAAB Awards last night. TAAB stands for Theatre Awards And Banquet. They used to be called the Academy Awards. For some weird reason, Schmid changed the name. But whatev. I got to wear my dress from sweethearts, so that was really exciting.

My mom and I have been watching The Mummy and The Mummy Returns. I LOVE those movies. Totally amazing.

And I really need to get my pick out of my guitar. Cuz I really want to play and I can't play without my pick. So yeah...
See ya!

Sigh Of Relief.... Almost

Wow, it's been awhile, hasn't it?! Life is insane. So.. oh man, I don't even know where to start! My brain's sort of fried. I had the AP English Language and Composition test today. Friday was the AP US History test. Let me tell you, it feels amazing to have those two things out of the way. I didn't even notice how stressed I was just over those two tests, and now that they're done... It's like I can finally breathe again!

I got my ACT scores back!
Composite Score: 30
English: 33
Mathematics: 27
Reading: 35
Science: 25
Combined English/Writing: 31
I was pretty happy with my score. Then I saw that I needed a 31 to get the scholarship that I want from USU. To make a long story short, I'm taking it again. Yeah.

I finally figured out how to drive my stick shift. Now I can drive my truck to school instead of driving my mom's van. That makes me happy. :D

11 days of school left. Hallelujah!! This summer is going to be AMAZING. No joke. I've got a ton of stuff planned. And you better believe I'm going to be hanging out with my friends A TON!!

Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!!! I made myself laugh soooo hard yesterday!! My sisters were making cookies for a school project. Now, I think that the best time to eat a cookie is when it's right out of the oven so it's all warm and yummy. My sisters know this, so as they were pulling their cookies out of the oven, they said "Courtney, do you want a hot cookie?" And I said...
wait for it...
drum roll please...

"I AM a hot cookie!"

*cue the crickets*

Yeah, they didn't laugh, either. But I did. Oh man, I kill myself sometimes. Hey, if you can't make yourself laugh, what's the point? Right? Right.

Did I mention that there's only 11 days of school? I'm getting caught up. I'm really close. The problem is, I have no ambition. It's pretty much gone. I still have an english project, a history project, a bunch of math stuff, plus makeup work. Ok, so I'm not quite caught up... I might die before the school year ends. But junior year is the hardest... I hope.

Wow, I'm sleepy.

Alright, well I'm going to go and try to do some of my homework. Too bad that doesn't sound appealing at all...

Sleep

I need more of it, that's for sure. And the sad thing is, compared to some people, I get tons of sleep. But I still always feel tired... ugh. This week will be... interesting. That's for sure. I don't know if I can handle it all, but I'm going to try.

Speaking of trying, I should do my english homework. I'll try to write a better post tomorrow. Key word being try. I already have a ton of homework for tomorrow.

See ya!
