Been a while...
Dec. 22nd, 2006 03:27 pmWow, so I actually haven't written here in almost a year. Which is weird, because I visit LJ almost everyday. I just always go to the communities, I guess. I've basically given up on my Xanga, if anyone still follows that link. I just recently got a MySpace (actually, it was made for me) and that's what I'll probably be using from now on, besides LJ. Because LJ is awesome. I'm still working on my writing journal, but I just haven't had much inspriation to continue the story. No worries, though, because even though I have these down periods, I have every intention of finishing that story. It's going to get done.
I'm actually leaving for Memphis tomorrow, so as to visit with family for the holiday. Even though my immediate family isn't actually Christian (the majority is agnostic) we still follow the traditions my parents had when they were younger, which includes giving presents at Christmas and having a tree and everything. It's kinda weird, but it works. I do have a performance tonight before we can go, but I think it will be fine. I've had four performances in three weeks, counting tonight. Two of them were for school, both of which actually went pretty well, one was for Winterfest at the UU church, and the other is a flute choir (tonight) that my private teacher got together. It'll sound really cool. And it's also awesome, because Micki is coming up and she's never gotten to hear me play. So I can see her before I leave and show off how awesome I am! Kidding, I don't think I'm that good, but I know that I'm my own worst critic.
I'm actually a junior in high school. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the fact that this time next year I might be recieving college acceptance letters and having to decide where I'm going to go. We got our PSAT scores back today, and I guess I got a pretty good score: 2110 out of 2400. I'm disappointed because in the prep course we took before the test, I got a 2180, and my projected score for the PSAT was 2260. Still, my score was good enough to get National Merit Commended, so I shouldn't be too disappointed. I was just hoping that I could do as well on the test as I do in performances. Oh well. My score went up about 300 points from my 10th grade score of 1850, so maybe it will go up close to that much when I take the PSAT in May. That would be cool, because I'd get a perfect score then. There was a girl who got a perfect score when she took the PSAT this year. She's crazy smart, but she's cool. I should probably ask her for tutoring or something. My math score actually went down from prep course, so I do need help in that to prepare for the SAT.
I've basically decided that I want to be a psychiatrist when I get out of college, so math is important. Mostly trig, though, and that's the one math course I'm actually aceing. I have an A in that class now, and it's proving to be pretty easy for me. And science, especially chemistry, is very easy for me and has almost always been an A on my report cards, so I'm not worried about that. Physics might even prove easy next semestre, since I have the background in trig.
So that's it, I think. Happy holidays!
