Well, the past few days have been quite eventful! I’ll try to recap them…
Friday, Clark and I ran about 3.5 miles up in Mt. Wilson on the trail. I love that trail and the incline is ridiculously hard, so it was a good workout. (vlog later)
Saturday was my last Spring Varsity! :( but it was definitely a very fun and successful tournament for Arcadia. The tournament ran on time (for...

Thank you Speech & Debate
for teaching me the ability to write and memorize an eight minute speech in five hours.
I feel like a professional speech writer…except instead of being paid in cash, I’m being paid in scholarships.
My oratory skills pay off, literally.

Officially a 2nd Semester Senior
Well, that time is finally here…I’m a second semester senior.
Honestly, walking out of my last final today, I didn’t feel as triumphant as I did after the AP English exam last May. Maybe it’s because there is still a great deal to worry about, I’ve come to realize that we are never really “done.”
But it definitely feels good :) I’m happy and...

Seizing every opportunity
I was sitting in AP US Gov today when my eyes wander over to a poster on the wall of the classroom. In large, bold letters, it read “C-SPAN Student Documentary Contest.” Carpus and I had been planning to make a documentary for several weeks and came up with a few ideas, but we always just saw it as just a way to express our voices. But with a $50K college education looming around the...

just a perfect normal day
Today was just a great day….the epitome of a relaxing end to a long weekend (even with finals looming around the corner).
I was woken up around 10 AM by a phone call from the Carnegie Mellon coach but I had to forgive him because he had some really great news :3
After talking to him for like 20 min, I lay around bed debating whether or not I should get up before I forced myself out of bed....

I need to blog more
I went back to my Tumblr Archive and noticed a trend in a declining number of posts per month which makes me sad :( time to blog more!
So…..what have I been doing these past few days? I can barely remember…. let me try.
This past week of school was pretty tough…a lot of work and pressure to deal with, especially as the semester comes to a close. I think I’m speaking for...

Stop and Appreciate
I was strolling through Trader Joe’s today when I looked up to see this woman staring at me. She was giving me this weird and confused look, and I kind of stopped in confusion. Why was this woman staring at me?
I tried to walk by all casually while wondering what I did to offend this woman. Was I standing in her way? Did I step on her foot without me knowing or something?
She gave me this...

And back to school we go....
So I was just cleaning out all the old papers in my folder and backpack and found random Mock Trial witness statements, notes, and questions littered in the folders of every subject. That represents how much this activity has permeated my life.
Anyway, winter break is already over! It went by extremely fast, probably with the constant of college apps and swim practice.
Finishing college apps...
