➠ 023 •

Ughhhh.  I was once on a diet, around 1/2 a year ago...and it was working (I was halfway towards my goal), but recently, I decided to quit it so I could have more energy to study and stuff.


And now all I do is eat, eat, eat.  It's really depressing.  I've been checking my weight and it hasn't really changed since I dropped the diet, but I still feel like I need to continue dieting.  I just don't feel healthy sometimes. :(  I'm not sure if I'm at a healthy weight either, so I must continue my diet, even at all costs!


Why am I so lazy and unmotivated?  I should find some more low calorie snacks to eat during the day....fruits and veggies would be good!  I should probably also take walks every day after school...gotta keep myself at a healthy weight!

On another note, I'm really pleased with my chemistry midterm grade.  I expected to pass, but I didn't expect to do well!  I'm happy.  I hope my calculus midterm turns out the same way.


And, yes, with midterms being done, I'm close to being a second semester senior!  A bit scary, but exciting as well.  I might end up being a little lazy when it comes to academic work..."senioritis" will finally be kicking in.  This is also the time that I'll start finding out results from colleges, so I'm a bit nervous and anxious.  I really hope I get enough money to go to a school I like!

➠ 022 • Second Semester Awaits

Phew!  Done with all my midterms and college applications.


Best feeling?  Almost.


Close enough.


My chemistry midterm was quite tricky (but I think I passed!) and my BC Calculus midterm was not too bad.  I'm hoping the grades I got for both of these classes will reflect how I felt about their midterms!

I haven't updated in a while, so I'm going to give a rundown of what happened since my last post.


Hah.  Nothing really.


Except for ONE BIG THING.


I met up with my friends Hannah and Caroline in Boston! :)  It was the first time since back in summer 09 (I think) that we were reunited.  I must say, it was a really great experience, since I missed both of my best friends terribly (and believe me, I still do now!  I'm really hoping that we can meet again during their spring break).  I also got to meet Adam, one of Caroline's friends, and a handful of Hannah's friends over at Dartmouth College.  Sometimes I wish I applied to Dartmouth, because it seems like such a great place and such a close-knit community, but...well, I like so many schools that it was really hard for me to choose only a few to apply to!


Our group of seven people traveled around the city.  It was great!  We went to a cupcake store called "Sweet," and Hannah and I shared a Snickerdoodle cupcake.  It was delightfully delectable!


The cupcakes in which my friends bought are above.  The red velvet one looks so good!


From left to right: me, Hannah, and Caroline.  I feel like my gloves look a tad bit ridiculous.


And lastly, this.  (Well I have more but these three are some of my favorites).  The blue dress ended up looking terrible on me, but oh well.

Well, after that excitement, I eventually had to go home and study for my midterms.  I can't seem to believe that it's been a week since my Boston reunion happened!  Time went by really slow for me.  It felt like so long ago :'(.


I still have to study for a Spanish test tomorrow (could it be considered a "midterm"?  I mean, it's on a book we're reading, and we're currently halfway...), and I must finish a reading assignment for English.  Gotta go, but see you guys around~!

➠ 021 • DONE?

Hahaha, I was just browsing some Tumblr posts about applying to college.


It's slightly amusing how so many people were cramming to finish applying to all the schools on their list.


Me?  I'm done!  I sent my last college a few days ago.


Actually.


That's a lie.  I'm not done.  I still have one more to go.


Good thing that's a January 15th due date. :)  (But it'll be haunting me, just right next to me, whispering "FINISH ME, FINISH ME, FINISH ME.....")
