I just have to say that life is a little overwhelming.
Being a senior, applying to colleges, stressing about getting my portfolio complete, having a full schedule (2 of which are college level classes), being Editor in Chief on the school newspaper, and VP of the National Art Honor Society while working 25ish hours a week and attempting to maintain somewhat of a social life and keep myself semi sane is a lot to handle.
But honestly, with senior year being half way over, I'd have it no other way. I feel accomplished and know that the last 4 months of high school will be filled with memories.
These last 4 months can go by as slow as they'd like, because no matter how stressed I get, and how much I crave summer, I'm not completely ready to let go of high school.

Where's Summer?!
I know it's still a few months away, but summer has been on my mind lately.
I'm super stoked for summer 2011. I'll be turning 18, and everyone will be out of school and everyone can just hang out and have fun and do insane things like the summers in the past.
I'm sure it will be different that other summers, but I know it's gonna be insane.
Despite wanting summer to already be here, I'm also a little cautious. This summer, I will have graduated, and will be a legal adult, and on top of that, at the end of the summer, I won't be getting ready to go back to Bird. I'll be moving to college.
Wow time changes things but I'm still stoked for summer.

Spring Break
I know Spring Break is still over 3 months away, but I'm thinking about going on another NYC trip on Spring Break.
As long as I get accepted to SVA that is. I'll most likely know by then and I won't wanna go if I get rejected. But it would be nice to visit my cousin again and be able to be in the city without having a heat stroke or having to buy boots and wear 12 layers of clothing.
Either way, I'm debating. But I also wanna save up for a Macbook and I don't think I can save up for both at the same time. Well we will see.
I'm working 30 hours this week, and it's a full school week. And I'm trying to finish up my last couple college apps and have a list of things I need to get done. And I still have to convince my principal to let me switch out of AP Government before I become a 2nd year senior.
Man I really need it to be Spring Break.

Transformation
Looking back, it seems pretty insane how much I've transformed as an individual.
I've gone through so many phases, friends, and styles throughout my lifetime, and I feel much content now.
As a freshman, "underground" music and going to shows was all I cared about. Throughout high school up until these past few months, I went to shows every chance I got. Not that I don't plan on ever going to shows, I will go to a show if there's a band on the line up that I really wanna see. However, I used to go to shows as much as I possibly could, even if the bands weren't ones that I was really into.
I always wore Vans, band tees, and the most "hardcore" wanna be band dude clothes that I could possibly get my hands on. It's funny because I've thrown almost all my band tees away and I only wear the ones I kept as undershirts now. My style has transformed so much over high school.
I begged my mom to let me get gauges for about two years and I finally got them. My lobes are currently stretched at 3/4 of an inch and a year ago, I was planning on going as big as possible. But right now, I would go get them chopped off if it wasn't so painful and expensive to do so. Not that I am anti gauges, I'm just not into having them anymore. I feel as if they don't fit who I am. But I'm not miserable with them.
Even my outlook on girls has changed. I used to say I would only date a girl that liked the same music as me and had gauges/piercings. Despite me being single now, I would never be shallow enough to only date girls who fit a specific stereotype.
I tried to so hard to fit in with a specific group of people, who I thought were cool because of their music taste and style. However, my groups of friends are as diverse as possible, and I'm friends with anyone.
I guess the whole point is that all of us look up to certain people or things, mine being bands that I was addicted to, and wanna be just like them. I went through all those phases. But now, with only a semester of high school left, I've finally started to discover who I am.
