On the Quest for leadership

Oh Girl Scouts! You've been in my life for at least 7 years. In those years I have earned my Bronze and Silver Award. And now it's time for the big thing, the real thing, the test to see if I can call myself a Girl Scout. Okay well maybe it's not a test to see if I'm a Girl Scout, but for me the Gold Award is very important. I really want to get it. I don't care about anything else. Just to get the award would be awesome. AWESOME and I don't use that word lightly. But recently I have come to a block in the road. It has nothing to do with the project itself. I'm actually not even on the project. Right now I am still working on the prerequisites. The Leadership hours and the Career hours are the things that are giving me the hardest time. I think the Career hours will be okay, but until recently the Leadership hours have been giving me problems. So far I have about 16 hours of leadership. It may sound like a lot of hours, but in order to meet the requirements I need 30 hours. Those 16 hours came from helping a younger Girl Scout troop. I helped them with their Spring Encampment. Now I was a bit hesitant because I thought the girls were a brats and all that stuff. The reason for my thinking is because when I helped that troop out before that's the way they were. But surprisingly they were pleasant and really funny. (The girls who were a handful quit the troop...thank god). And the encampment went really smoothly. The other hours came from being the cookie chair for my own troop. That was a lot of work. But hey leadership hours are leadership hours. Okay so back to the solution for getting leadership hours. I asked that troop's leader if she had anything for me to do. And she responded very fast. Apparently she has two things for me to do. The first thing is to get a Brownie to bridge to Junior. The second thing this to get a Junior to earn the Bronze Award... in one year. This is a great solution and plus the two girls are well-behaved and willing to work. I remember this from the encampment. This is going to be really awesome!!

Hey. Have you met...Sheldon? Name that show? I have a feeling Bean Soup might know. But for all you lame-ohs it was HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. One of my top 10 shows with Friends in first place. Robing and Barney just need to get together and I really want to know who Ted marries, it can't be Stella >:(...(it's funny that I don't like Stella cause I like Sarah Chalke). Well anyway my top 10 shows is for another day's post but today I want to talk about something serious, truly serious.

Today is all about my fish, Sheldon. Which is why I ask Have you met...Sheldon? Sheldon is your typical goldfish except for the fact that he's not all that gold. He's more silvery white. But I believe he was classified as a goldfish at the pet store. I got Sheldon about a year or two ago or whenever I was still playing basketball (that's another blog post as well). The story of Sheldon goes something like this. I wanted a pet so my mom, dad, and I went to the pet store and looked at all the pets. A fish was what I decided on getting (I really wanted a hamster). We walked out of the store with two goldfish. I named one of them Sheldon and the other one Leonard after the two main characters of Big Bang Theory.Put them in the tank, fed them and did all that good stuff. About a week later Leonard was dead. Have no worry. I didn't get too attached to him so it was all good. But now Sheldon (who was really small when I got him) is really big. Not super big but relatively big. His belly is rather large. The other day my sister told me that he was doing a weird "playing dead" trick. And in fact he was. Gosh my fish is a freak...

Yay!!! First week of summer school DONE! Now don't get me wrong it's really fun and entertaining, but very tiring. Still all in all I enjoy it and the fact that I am getting some classes out of the way is an added bonus. Yay BONUS! No not Jonas Bonus all you losers. What to say... My art teacher is really interesting (notice I am favoring that word), I wouldn't say that is AWESOME because that is a special reserved word for special and well AWESOME things...In addition my Economics teacher is rather chill. On Wednesday he let my class out an hour earlier. And for the most part he only wants us to listen to his lectures and get an "A" in his class.

NEW POST!! Finally... What's it been? A few weeks? Yeah that's about right. Well what has been going on in my awesome life you maybe asking yourself. Well it's quite simple. First of all I got out of school on the 18th of June. Then on the 20th of June, I went to my friends' graduation party. Fun and all but not exactly my kind of scene. Also I sort of lost my voice which really sucked.And now it's June 22, the first day of summer school...WHOO! (and I truly mean it). But once I get through this week, I get to pick up the books for my summer homework and I get to go to the JCI Carnival! Where my goal is to try atleast a bite of every type of food there. Aliya says that the Chicken Teriyaki recipe has been perfected but to me Chicken Teriyaki is Chicken Teriyaki. I'm looking forward to the Tamales and the Corn on the Cob... and Lau Lau if they sell it. By the way in addition to the Grad Party on the 20th, I also went to Aliya's Hula thing. It was awesome, very educational I might add as well.

Hasta La Bye-bye everyone off to go running with Bean Soup

This is what I call the home stretch.

It’s that time of the year when. The time filled with useless projects and the studying for finals. That week before the DOOM! And I mean finals. For some reason last year didn’t seem as bad as this year. Maybe it’s because of the fact that last year I was taking Biology, Geometry, and Japanese. Those finals were just whatever because no matter what I got on the finals, my grade would remain the same. This year I have Chemistry and Stover’s class. I believe in Chemistry I am barely hanging in there. And as for Stover’s, it’s not that it’s hard or anything, it’s just that for the first time in the whole year Stover decided to give us an assignment everyday of the week.

I guess finals aren’t that bad they’re like Wednesday s and 3^rd periods. After you get past them the rest is smooth sailing. As a teacher of mine once called it Hump Day. My question is why do the teachers think that it’s a good time to assign “BIG” projects. Our mind are already set to summer mode, half of us are emptying our brains of a whole year’s worth of learning. On top of all that there’s summer homework, which I don’t really mind cause what else am I going to do over summer? If I could I would make summer break only a month and a half, just enough time to rest and relax, but still remember what we have learned.

There are only three things that I am looking forward to this summer is:

1. ALASKA TRIP!!

2. Summer school

3. Running

Don’t judge me…
