Acadamia Mania!

Yesterday at our school were the academic awards (sorry I didn't write about them yesterday!) What that basically means for us freshmen is maybe getting 2 awards (which I did for english and high honor roll) and sitting on hard, wooden bleachers for 75 minutes watching all of the seniors and juniors get recognised for their achievements. And remember how I am on the yearbook staff, well, I'm being excused from my computer class to work on the pages for the awards. I don't even have any pictures yet but I have to get the layout all ready and get the awards typed up. It's extremely fun having to write L.M., A.S., and B.P.'s names over and over again.
The only reason that I'm really doing this whole yearbook thing is because it looks good on a college application, and I need every drop of scholarship money I can get if I want to go to Bard. Even so, it's not worth it. This is my first and last year on the yearbook staff.
Anyway, I said that I won an english award, didn't I... yes, I did. I was so happy!! That was the only award that I really really wanted. I am a writer after all. I could have gotten the academic excellence award (the only one in the freshmen class who would have) but I got a B+ in business machines in the first quarter of the school year. I got an A for the semester, but they went by quarters. What jerks!!
I am so glad that it is Friday. I get to go shopping for summer clothes tomorrow! I'm supposed to come in and work on yearbook, but that blows the big one, so I'm skipping and getting some cute skirts instead.
But I'm also going to have to spend time on my slow as molasses computer this weekend too. I have to do research for this teraforming project that we are doing in Earth Science. We have to make a power point project and a report on how we would terraform another planet or moon in our solar system. My group is doing Saturn's satelite, Titan. You wouldn't believe how incredibly boring it is at the moment. But I think that it could be fun. We just have to give it a chance..... (note the sarcasm there, people)
I g2g. I'm going to get carpal tunnel if I keep typing in this every day!!
