Frustrations

Why do people who are capable of so much more not do anything? I recently heard of someone who doesn't do their homework or try on their work so they make bad grades but got a 27 on the ACT. Why do people do this? It makes me soooo mad, I try hard to get my grades and think through everything thoroughly so I get good grades and I studied for the ACT and just made a 24 everything I do is mediocre. I hate it, I know I'm horrible but these people do not deserve to be smart. I mean a 27? really?? thats a great score and the person was like "people think I'm stupid because I get bad grades but I'm really smart I just don't do anything" that made me so mad because being that smart and flunking IS stupid. I hope these people fail, yes that's horrible but that's how mad it makes me, they don't deserve to succeed if they're not going to work when people who do work hard could still fail because they just aren't as naturally intelligent. I know it's a stupid teenage cliche to say "Life's not fair" but it's not and it's so frustrating, I am mediocre in my intelligence, I'm not stupid but I'm not overly smart either. I guess mostly I'm jealous that I'm not that smart, it is my dream to get a 27, I've taken it twice and made a 24 both times. I want to go to medical school and be a doctor, that won't ever happen with a 24.

Squirrels

I found out today that my older brother's car has been commandeered by squrriels... yes squirrels. Something was wrong with hs car so natually he took it to the mechanic and the mechanic told him that wires and hoses had been eaten through by these obnoxious animals and he knew this because there were still 2 of them in the car when the mechanic went ot work on it and they got loose in the shop. In true sister nature I found this incredibly incredibly humorous, really, who's car gets ransacked by squirrels??? Only in the Anderson family would that happen. How do they even get into the car to begin with??? I have a feeling we may have a visit from PETA on our hands very soon since Andrew has decided to shoot them with a BB gun and string them up as an example for all of the other squirrels. I just thought this was so funny I had to share at least it was a humerous reason for his car troubles, I'd much rather have a funny story to tell people then to just say "yea my car broke down" no "my car was attacked by squirrels. hahaha

College

I have been planning on going to University of Louisville for awhile because my mom lives there so I can save money for not having to pay for a dorm plus they offer a good medical program and I want to go to medical school. When I was voting for our invitations etc for graduation (which is really scary) I noticed the University of Louisville had a representative and that she had applications which I had been meaning to get so I asked her for and she polietely handed it to me and said do you know about the thing they're having at the RiverPark Center? I replied telling her that I had heard about it in an email but I forgot so I should take a flyer thinking nothing of it that I would probably lose the flyer and forget about the meeting. She then notified me of how if I take the filled out application, an official transcript from the school and 40 dollars I could be admitted on the spot! That is such a relief because I'm one of those people that likes to know how everything is going to happen I am a huge worry wart so to be admitted on the spot would be so great for my peace of mind because I can move on to worrying about other things and get with an advisor sooner to schedule classes etc. I'm scared to go to college but the fact that I can get admitted so soon makes me so much more relieved and I am actually starting to get excited for college and to start the rest of my life.

Laughter

I laugh at everything it must be in my genes because my whole family does also, we laugh at everything, events, jokes, but mostly each other. Not to be mean but we always laugh at what each other does, says etc. This year my mom and brothers moved to Louisville, because I didn't want to switch schools my senior year I moved in with my grandparents. This has made me much closer to my family because I don't get to see them as often so instead of fighting we laugh and cherish our time together. I love going to visit them because I know it will be full of laughter and memories. I didn't realize how close I was to my family until I moved away from them. That's sad isn't it? How we don't realize what we have until we're taken away from it.

twilight

After seeng the movie I decided to join the rest of the human race and read it which I finished this weekend. It was good but not as compelling as I expected but I did like it a lot. I am very excited to keep reading the rest. My final goal is to have all of them read before "New Moon" comes to theaters in November. That can be expensive though so I'm really hoping people will let me borrow them I've found one copy of "New Moon" to borrow so after I read that I'll work on Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. I'm very excited to follow the story, I hope they make Bella a vampire!

Best friends

I think that the Egyptian proverd "Frendship doubles joy and halves grief" is very very true. There have been many painful things that have happened in my and my best friend's life, things that seem like it would be impossible to get over without each other. I'm sure we would have eventually gotten over it but it was so much easier and faster with someone else. She always helps me with advice and it seems most of the time she knows what's best for me better than I do. Not only does my best friend help me through rough times but she makes every day better because we're friends. Sometimes our parents as why we spend so much time together and because we're together even though we're doing whatever we would be doing by ourself is it so much more fun when we do it together. For example, if all we were doing was watching a movie together, we could watch a movie by ourselves at home but together we llaugh so much more and have so much more fun together
