A-PUSH

tomorow is my AP US HIstory final. we have to have our final 2 weeks early in order to be ready for our Ap test next friday. i'm extremely nervous and have been studying non stop for about 4 days. on saturday night Stephanie, Sarah Wong, Elsie, and I all slept over at stephanie's house for a Study Sleepover Extravaganza. we studied (among other things) from 1pm to 3am and then woke up at 8am and studied until around 12:30. it was a lot of fun, but so much work! we also played plenty of guitar hero, watched that thing you do, and made summer journals with magazine pictures. having my second sleepover with a group of CB girls was once again, very fulfilling. i felt like i belonged to something and really happy that i have a true group of friends, especially ones that go to my school. i'm excited for this school year to end, but also a little sad that we will only have one year left.


we coined the mantra "make karen proud" to keep us motivated.


we didn't want to disappoint her !!


i took this of sarah while she was making her journal. i like it.

oprah wins-me

haha. you like that subject title? yea, i'm clever at times. today oprah won me over with her perfect show. it had 2 of my favorite things on it: Little People, Big World and the Jonas Brothers !!! how fantastic is that? i was actually home on time to see it and everything.

gooo team

today i quit softball. it was something i needed to do for myself. i have my history final, SAT's, US history AP test and a whole slew of other academic problems on my plate. add onto that a photography project and just sleeping, eating, and showering. yea, i just don't have the time for it right now. i'll miss most of the girls, and i can only hope they will miss me. i know a few of them won't, but i don't care about them anyway.
speaking of photography, i'm doing a show with my school. we are teaming up with Sac High for a photography show at the 40 Acres gallery in Oak Park. the theme of the show is spirituality and faith in people's lives. i'm doing the life of the brothers. i'm pretty excited and glad for the opportunity for some exposure as well as the critiques from actual photo-journalists. i'll update on that one later.
stephen and i reunited on our history studying today. it felt good. when he depends on me to be ahead and on track, i am. i've gotten behind because he didn't need me anymore. i know i complain about people being needy, but really i thrive on it.
