Had I known How to Save a Life....

Wow! It's been a while since i've posted! I really can't believe it's already May! It feels like just yesterday that it was my first day of HIGHSCHOOL! Well, I'm pretty glad its over....i'm tired of being a freshman. I will miss some of the seniors, and I do wish the best for them in the future.

I've officially decided what my schedule is going to be next year....I've gotten so many different opinions on my list of classes! I'm not sure what is going to happen! I'm taking-


  • English 10/Pre-IB
  • Pre-IBAlgebra 2/Trig Honors
  • AP Chemistry
  • AP Art History <---I'm scared!
  • Symphonic Band
  • Spanish 2/ Pre- IB

I've heard it is quite a bit of work to be taking Chemistry and Algebra 2, but I think I can handle it. Oh, and since I joined Art History, it doesn't look like i'll have a life next year. It looks like a great class, and I definately want to take it before I have to worry about the real IB program in Junior and Senior year. Instead of Art History, I was going to take AP Euro...but because of my lack of interest in history[[European]] I decided to switch over.


Well, a few weeks ago in Spanish, we got to make salsa! (In honor of Cinco de mayo) Every year, Senora Rocca has an end of the year salsa making day. haha. We got to make it with a mocahete (sp?) and it was really fun! Being Mexican, I should know how to spell it...considering we have one. Although it wasn't the correct type of salsa you make with mocahetes...our salsa was pretty good. =D Thanks a lot to Cierra, Julia, Allison (Kemper), and Alyson (Santa) for making salsa in our cool group!

Wow, end of the year. Hard to believe. Only 4 more days left, and all of them being reduced days. I still need tons of signatures for my yearbook...the teachers have had a pretty strict rule on not having those out in class unfortunately. I'm really not sure what i'm going to blog about....so hmmmmmmmm.

This summer I'm some what looking forward to. I would have been taking a class at the college, but i'm going to camp at the beach for two weeks in Santa Barbara. Every summer my family goes, and we get to camp on the coastal bluff. It's really nice! And every time I come back waaaaaay tan! =] (I really need it!) I'm also planning to sleep a whole bunch...I don't care how much of my summer I waste....I LIKE SLEEP. Besides, I'm not sure how much i'll get with my schedule next year. I guess the rest of the time will be spent hanging out with my friends and finding busy stuff I can keep myself occupied with. Then of course...band camp...which I'm kinda looking forward to, and then not....

Friday was our final project for World History IB. Me, Kevin, Cierra, and Raemeon were to pick a country and do a report on it. We thought....what better country to do but Australia!? Being the cultural expert on this assignment, I had a rather good time putting together my portion of the powerpoint! And, for the extra credit, Cierra brought in a didgeridoo and some boomerangs. <--They were real! Cierra and I also painted ourselves like the Australian Aborigine...which was pretty awesome. =]
Well, I hope everyone has a wonderful last week of school! I'm pretty excited to see how the Band Banquet and Graduation goes. It's my first year, so I'm not sure how things are run! Have a wonderful Memorial Day, and a nice summer! Until Next Time....

zI wouldn't let the fear of next years schedule ruin your summer. It gets really hectic at points, but I'm sure you'll handle it well.

Salsa? that's pretty awesome. You know, being half mexican, I should like guacamole. De verdad- I don't care too much for it.

Glad to hear Australia went well. Are you guys bringing in food for the "Cultural Experience?"

Hey, it's Tiffany. :)

Good luck with Alg2/Trig, AP Chem, and AP Art History. But let me tell you, art history is totally worth it. :)

Yes. Aborigine! I remember that picture. You guys did a good job! I'm so proud of you. (Sound like anyone? *ahem* Priscila...)

That salsa was... horrible. It tasted like water... Cierra was the only one who knew what she was doing. You and Alyson... shame. No, I joke. That was entertaining.
