Videos, etc.

I hope the videos that I posted earlier were remotely day-brightening or amusing. They were fun to watch for me!!!

Well, I went to a party and enjoyed it today; it was good clean fun, with parents around and lots of music, joking, and sweets. Sometimes those things, with friends, are all I need to stay sane.

I'm enjoying a late night of "work": printing directions for college tours, and working on items for MyLife24-7 and Junior Pro Art, a music group I belong to.

Going to finish that up now! Talk to you soon!

Relaxed Day

This morning I had a great bassoon lesson, very laid back. I enjoy them a lot. I might want to play bassoon in college, so I might as well learn now! Then, I got to go home and relax for a little bit, then eating lunch with a friend, then more relaxing. I just got off the phone with some people from mylife24-7.org, which is a youth-led website/group. I'm an ambassador for it, and I really enjoy working on it. It's basically website design and blogging, both of which I love! I'm heading out for ice cream with another friend in a sec.

This article was interesting and sweet to me. I really enjoyed learning about other girls in a different country than me, and I learned just how lucky I am. It made me grateful for what I have.

Well, that's it for now. Writing pieces to be posted soon (I hope)!

I've Missed You!

I apologize for being away! Final exams descended upon me in June, and now I'm free (kind of). I still have a summer assignment to do, and I'm taking Health as a summer class instead of the mandatory elective next year. So I go to summer school every weekday. The good news is that I've met some really nice people from this!

The weather's been mostly thunder-ish for the past few days, unfortunately. I do love lightning, but the dark clouds that are always looming make me miss the sun!

Let's see, what's happened in the last month or so:

• I've received an A in all classes and on my finals!
• I'm reading some awesome books, including Persepolis, which is really good.
• I've been chillin and not doing to much, but I will be working on an "alternative paper" with a friend. I'll give the website link as soon as I have it! Also, I'm going to be in a concert, commissioning a new musical piece! That's pretty exciting, too.

Ooh. It looks like a storm's coming right now, as I type! Excitement.

I've also been into some photography lately. Here's some photos, and a link to more here.






















Here's a really serious article about a teen who was "bullied to death". It's so awful that things like this even happen. I wish that adults who saw this happening would do more about it.

This is an amazing story of Daivd Ashby, someone my age, who's walking along the east coast from Orlando, Florida to Washington, D.C. all by foot! He's trying to raise awareness and money for homelessness, and I think it's a wonderful cause! Check it out!

I contribute to mylife24-7.org often as well. I'm a student ambassador for them, and I really love their message. Go to the site and take a look around!

Recently, I joined a few college/scholarship search sites that I really love: zinch.com, fastweb.com, and cappex.com. All three have helped me find really good scholarships and contests, along with schools that I may be interested in. Some are really fun to use, and not that different from social networking sites!

See you soon!
