RELIEF!!!
Hurray! I'm done with my presentations! I think our group did well, not everything was perfect, but overall I think we did well. I'm satisfied with the performance we gave and I'm pretty confident that we earned at least a B overall! Good job team!!! We DESTROYED out presentation!!! Good luck to all the other groups!

:(
Due to the lack of close friends I have in this class... I do not have a partner for the service project yet. I honestly don't care who I am partnered with because I get along with everyone in the class. I'd just like to know who wants to be my partner..

almost there..
Well I'm getting close to finishing up my research paper, its coming along pretty good. But the main problem I'm having is that some of my information is not strong enough to build a long discussion off of it. But either than that I'm actually glad that my group is the first to go because that just meanst that we'll be the first to get it over with and we'll have the rest of the week to watch everybody else present and not have to worry about ours. Good luck everyone!
Can it be?
Could it really REALLY be?!? The end of school just a few days away?! I cant believe it! This year has gone by so fast!! Not to say that there havnt been times where its gone soooo slow that I wanted cry BUT overall its flown!! Only two major things left. One of which being my research paper. Its done and I think it might be ok...but I'm horrified to press the send button!! Theres something finishing it and doing all the editing you can and then actually sending it away. Maybe thats how our parents feel when they send us to college. Like they've done all the work they possibly could but just arn't quite ready to have it evaluated. Kind of a strange thought...comparing a person to a paper. I guess that just goes to show how huge this class has been to me lately. Its really helping though! Despite the stress and occasional tears as I sit, still awake, at 3 in the morning trying to put finishing touches on some phrase or another. I must say that I do enjoy writting now...which I never would've thought was possible like...24 weeks ago! When people say you dont like it because your not very good at it they seem to be right. The changes in my writting style and just transitions alone is clear between my argument essay and this giant paper. Though thats not to say I'm perfect...just to say that I'm better than I was!! So in a very round about way I'm simply trying to say thankyou! Not just to Ms. Stariha although she deserves it, but to the whole class! Our conversations and debates have been PRICELESS!!! I have learned so much and have grown in my opinions to the point where my old self looks just a tad pathetic. But there I go again...rambling...maybe I should hit that little send button and get some sleep!
Can't Wait
Well I can't wait for this week to be over. And i guess know one else knew the answer to my question either....oh well. I just hope this class doesnt prevent me from graduating. That would suck. But hey, one more full week of our high school careers. Crazy.
Just A Lil' Bit Further...
So as our last week of high school comes upon us, I feel anxious and invigorated!!! My group is the first to present, and our research papers are due tomorrow. I can't wait to get out of highschool and to start my life. Recently it seems like this year is ending very badly in my case... and I'm just not sure of how to shake it off....So instead I am just throwing myself into my studies..... weeeeeird lolol
