• I know it's been forever since I last posted. I put all my pictures of Italy up on facebook, and so I don't think I'll go into detail on xanga. Right now I feel reflective, though...it's a xanga moment.

  (Uno): I am a senior. That's just weird. I don't feel like a senior. However, I didn't feel like a junior last year either. I think it's because when you're young, you have all these ideas of how cool those upperclassmen are. So cool, mature, smart, older.  And then you get there...and realize those were just illusions. Part of you takes a step back and realizes that you actually are WAY more mature than you were when you were a freshman. Then there's the part that misses the graduates, and doesn't want to be a leader to all those little freshman kids. The other part, is the one that goes, hey....SWEET! SENIOR PRIVILEDGES! Last year of high school!! This is going to be so much fun.  

  (Due): Summers aren't like they used to be.  I just now came to accept that this summer I won't be doing nothing. (Double negative, I know.) I'm working every day in the week, and working math, chemistry, apologetics, and debate around all that. I do want to let myself have time to just chill with friends and enjoy summer. I think God's been teaching me, for a long time, to just relax and enjoy my life before it slips by because I've been worrying about the future. When I learn that, I feel SO free. I don't have to worry about college next year, just think about what I need to do for tomorrow.

  (Tre): I am actually really excited about apologetics. I printed off the questions and started looking at them and got a lot of ideas already. I'm really glad I decided to do it this year. I haven't, however, started researching immigration. I will probably wait until after summer, really. I am definitely going to buy PKB this year (NOT Red Box...yuck.)

  (Cuatro): I'm realizing that you enjoy people more when you're around them less.  In other words, now that I don't see my family as much, they're more valuable to me. For any of you that knew my dad was out of a job, well he got one now. Only, he has to travel to DR and El Salvador one out of four weeks.  Ever since Regionals, my dad and I have been barely seeing each other. While I was in FL, he had to leave for DR, then a week later he went on his mission trip to Ukraine, then a week later I went to Italy, then he went to DR again. It's crazy.

  (Cinque): I love Italy. I want to go back. After I learn Italian, of course. I really do want to be bilingual, with all seriousness. Next year it turned out that I've got a private tutor for Spanish, which I think will be cool because I really like her. Who knows...maybe I'll go live in Spain one day?

  (Sei): There really is no Sei. I need to go to bed so I can wake up tomorrow and do all kinds of things.
