"This is my final blog. I can't believe it. I have officially done my forty blogs that I need. I decided that I would make this little essay entry about graduation. I thought this would be a good topic because it has been on my mind a lot lately. Probably just as every other senior in the world at this time of year."
That above quote is something I wrote months ago in this exact entry. I completely forgot about it until today. I now only have two days left of high school and am even more excited than I was back then. SO many new things are going to happen in the next year. College. That should be a really interesting new experience. I'll be going to a new and different state and leaving all of my friends I've made over the past 13 years behind. A new chapter in my life. It has always sounded like such a cliche to me, but now it feels like the right phrase to use. I can't believe it.

Blog 39: Rearranging
This past weekend I decided to do some rearranging. I thought, why not? I have always wanted to do and I had the time. What inspired me was going to one of my friends' houses. She has an amazing bedroom. Kind of my dream room. Connected to her ceiling halfway around her room is a little shelf. The shelf is completely filled with movies. The room is mainly a black, white and gray room. Then she has amazing furniture. Her desk and dresser are beautiful and what she has on them is even better. Her desk and a huge mirror on it and her dresser has a stack of Seventeen, Teen Vogue and Cosmo magazines. It also has assorted lotions and perfumes. There is also a ledge around her room that has books all lined up on it. Finally, she has an amazing closet filled with clothes and shelves with her shoes on them.
After leaving her house I felt inspired. She knows how much I love her room and told me that I should change my room then if I so desired. I have two connecting rooms. One has my bed in it, and one is a sitting room with a couch, tv, etc. I can't really arrange my room with the beds in it, but I arranged my other room. I didn't do much at all, but just the slight adjustments I made, made such a difference in my mind. It made is seem much more spacious and I love it. I basically just switched my table and benches, but I really like it. I also am now thinking about staining my benches with a dark stain because they have always been just plain wood. We will see!

Blog 38: 2 Months and Counting
I can't believe that in just a little over two months I will be boarding a plane for Florida. This past week all of my friends and I bought our plane ticket and I am beyond excited. We also got a really good deal on tickets which made me really happy.
I've been trying to really save up my money for this trip. I have bought close to nothing except necessities for about a month. I am pretty proud of myself. All of my friends are talking about buying all these clothes for the week but I have decided that I have enough clothes already.
My biggest concern is that I still need to get work off. I am actually a little scared to ask for it off. Spring break is the biggest/busiest time of the year at my job and I hope it is not an issue that I need it off. I have been trying to make myself call my boss and ask her. I always have hated asking for time off. I always feel like I am doing something wrong or being a burden even when I'm not.
So many amazing thoughts have been flowing through my mind when it comes to spring break. I can't believe I am going to get to spend a whole week with my friends. I think it'll be my best memory of high school and something I will remember for the rest of my life. I am going to be taking pictures like a crazy person. I already warned my friends that I will probably annoy them with my excessive picture taking. I'm okay with that though. This trip will be too good for me to not want to take photos.

Blog 37: 3rd Quarter
Third quarter is something that I am not necessarily looking forward to. I am, but I'm not. For the most part, I really like my classes right now. I have a lot of my good friends in them and I really love all of the people in my lunch. I am excited for a new quarter so some of the actual classes I am taking get switched up.
Next quarter, I don't really know anyone in my classes which makes me a little bit nervous. Since this year people can take so many different electives and classes, it is hard to know who will be in each class.I also can't believe it will be the third quarter in my senior year. After tomorrow, I am half way through being completely done with high school and I can't even believe it. These past four years have gone by so incredibly fast. Everyone told me they would, but I almost didn't believe it. This year I am trying not to take a single moment for granted. Every time I hang out with my friends I think about how much I am going to miss all of them next year. Not a single pair out of my good group of friends are going to college together. We all say that we'll see each other over break and the summer, but I know that with each year, that fades.
As third quarter approaches, I have really started to reflect on high school. I really hope I make this last semester the best one of high school. I feel that this one could be the best because for the most part, my friends aren't stressed about college choices and applying anymore. That was definitely a huge stressor of the first semester. A lot of great things I think are going to happen this semester, the last one of high school.

Blog 36: Next Weekend
Starting today, I know the rest of my week is going to be really good. Especially this upcoming weekend. Thursday is a half day of school and then we don't have school on Friday. On Thursday night I have a couple of my friends sleeping over at my house which should be super fun. We haven't hung out in quite a long time and it will be good to see them again. We'll probably have a movie night or something like that. They are coming over right after school is over so at about 1ish. I am really excited and can hardly wait. I don't even really know why we have to come to school tomorrow. I took all my finals today and tomorrow is going to be a really short day anyway.
Then on Friday during the day I am going out with two of my second cousins. I haven't seen them in a long time and one of them texted me and said she'd take me out for dinner, movies or anything I wabted. I just suggested that we go shopping. So I am meeting them at one of their houses and then we are going to go shopping at the Albertville Outlets. I'm sure we will have tons of fun because we have a lot to catch up on.
Then on Saturday, there is a company party for where I work. We are going to go to Buck Hill and if we want we can go tubing. We are also having appetizers and drinks at a restaurant at Buck. I don't really know what to expect because I am somewhat of a newbie at the company. I am not completely because I have been there for about six months, but I am still the newest one there. I hope my friend Sarah goes or else I am not even sure that I will.
Then on Sunday morning, early, I have to go to work. I a lot of the times like working in the mornings though because it is a longer shift and then I have the rest of my day when I'm done. However, I don't like waking up early in the morning.

Blog 35: Today
Today I was supposed to go on a Live retreat with the high school. I was really looking forward to it, but now I'm not going. My friend Jenna and I were supposed to go together. She was going to drive me and we would miss the whole day of school. The retreat was with 4th graders from Westwood Elementary. Last night she texted me and said she was no longer going. She said she was too stressed out about finals and her mom didn't want her to go. That made me kind of sad. I was really excited to go.
So now I am here at school today. It seems pretty pointless for me to be here. In physics first hour, we had a review day, which wasn't super necessary. Then in math second hour, we had a review day, which was also not necessary. I was done with all of my assignments and we ony have a quiz tomorrow. I am also done with my Creative Writing final project, I just have to finish up these blogs. Then for Work Program, we're having a study hall day. Finally, for Government class, we're watching a movie. Well we also could be working on a review sheet for the final, but I'm not. We don't have to take the final in that class if you have an A, and I do so I've just been sitting there for two days watching a movie. I will probably study for physics today though. That is the one test I have that I'm actually a little nervous about. Other than that, this week is going to be pretty easy with not a whole lot to do.

Blog 34: Sunday
Sunday was almost as good of a day as Saturday. It was actually probably a tie. It was my friend Micaela's birthday and party. Unfortunately, I had to work until 8 o'clock. My day started out rather well, I woke up at about nine and then went down to feed my animals. I had to pack for the party I was going to later and then get ready for work. I left for work at about 1:30. My shift was 2-8. It was a pretty good shift. I cleaned a lot of dogs' rooms and it was super, super cold. After work, I couldn't go straight to Micaela's. Everyone was going out to dinner at Crave and there reservation was at 7. So I went to my grandparents house and got changed and ready to go. My friend Rachel texted me when they were leaving Crave and I went over to Micaela's at about 9:30.
It was a super fun party. There were about twenty of us there which made it that much more fun. I gave her, her present and we had some delicious cake. We then watched Mean Girls and Pitch Perfect, stereotypical teenage girl movies. Everyone started to go to bed at about two in the morning. Only six of us slept over out of the twenty or so. My friend Bre and I stayed up until five something, we are always the last ones up. It was a super fun party and overall a pretty awesome day.
