Senior Pictures!

My friend Kerrigan Steger took these amazing photos! These are my favorite 5. Now I just have to figure out which one I want to use in the yearbook... Tell me your favorites! 

Pointless Post

Ohmygosh, it has been so cold here in Ohio I don't want to do anything I just want to be in my kitchen cooking all day in front of the warm oven and then curl up at night under the three (yes, three) down comforters currently on my bed... It sounds heavenly now.

I feel like last week I had so much to blog about I took the cheaters way out and put all of my posts on a timer but now I have no idea what I want to say.

Yesterday in material science I finally got to make my dip 'n dots and got nitrogen burns on my thumbs and tongue as a result of getting too excited for my own good.



This video is amazing.

College (sounds so weird to say)

So I've been looking at colleges for the past couple days and it is just so exciting to have a new beginning, to start off in a new place and make new friends.

Who doesn't love Animal House?

Needless to say I am VERY excited but the when I got down to the logistics of it I realized, my GPA sucks, standing now at a cumulative (weighted) 2.48, I haven't taken the SAT or ACT yet and I can only afford $20,000 per year including textbooks, room and board, and a meal plan and I do not want to stay in state. Sure Ohio has great colleges and students at my schools get special consideration for OSU because it's our designated public college but that is just way to close for me and I want to go somewhere that's not a bubble, and out of my comfort zone.

The Rooms at George town are so pretty, at first I thought
 this was some school in India.

 I'm beginning to get discouraged, I've come up so far with a list of 10 schools but I have no schools that I'm sure I'll get in. My best bet is to not try to get into schools with tough admissions and work really hard this semester so my GPA will be at least above a 2.5.

I thought this was so funny, one year
at Akita they made a triple layer bunk
bed but then the whole cabin got on
the top bunk and the bed collapsed
and put holes in the floor of the cabin.

IB Physics: IB stands for International Baccalaureate which are college level classes taught the same all over the world. Many colleges consider this acceptable as credit towards your major and numerous offer scholarships around $2,500 per year for IB students.

Politics, Economics, and Government: We learn about current issues with the government and are taught how to educate ourselves on issues before voting.

World Literature and Composition: Just a regular English class focusing on international literature.

Lunch: The reason I have lunch 2 is because typically lunches are supposed to be periods 4 or 5 but because I wanted to take desktop design I have to have lunch 6th period which shouldn't be an issue assuming some of my friends have 6th period study hall. Going along with open campus all students have open lunch and may eat anywhere they want.

Desktop Design: An introduction course to using photoshop.

IB Math SL: IB level math that teaches you precalculus and calculus in one year. SL stands for standard level.

Material Science: A fun science class that involves making dip-n-dots in liquid nitrogen, that's all I needed to hear. Not to mention the teacher of the class was my Chemistry teacher last year and I love her she's so kooky.

Mmm I can taste them already…

Life Guarding: My sister works as a life guard and she loves it so I decided to take this class to get my certification, and an extra gym credit.
