finals...they are coming up!

There comes a time in every teen's life, it comes twice a year, every year....it's every teens nightmare! It's called FINALS! Finals are such a stressful time because all of the teachers try to cram in extra information that is going to be on this massive test that counts for at least 20% of your grade! I really don't handle stress very well especially when it comes to school! But I guess we all just have to get through it, because after next week of finals, is winter break! I'm so excited for that, but no so much the whole studying and test taking part. I know that I need to review everything, and some teachers are really cool when they give you study guides that practically has the test right in front of you! I'm just NOT a good studier, I always seem to get too distracted..But I know that if I don't hit the books, I'll be sorry for it later! Well, so far, I have a lot of review to do, especially for chemistry, algebra 3-4, and history! I'm so not looking forward to that, but I'm super excited for winter break. I honestly think that everyone needs a little vacation time, away from the classes, offices, and grading and just celebrate the holidays with friends and family. I know it sounds cheesy, but it's actually really true! We teens just have to get through this tough final week that's up ahead, and then we will be FREEEEEEEEE!

And.....
We have been learning about moles! Not, the ones on your face, but the ones in chemistry! A mole=602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 units! that sounds like a lot, well it is. But it's really simple. I may even think that it might be one of the easiest things we have learned in chem itself. Which is saying a lot because chem, to me, is really difficult. It seems pretty interesting on how to convert and everything...I just have to remember all of the formulas!

GLEE! =)

Okay..this show is definitely one of my favorites! Every Wednesday, my family and I sit around the living room and we watch it. It's sooooo great how it gets better and better whenever we watch it! This week's show was very intense because Mr. Shew found out that his wife was lying about her pregnancy! It may sound like a regular soap, but it really isn't because its more about real life and musicals. At first I didn't think that I was going to get so into it, but then it just got really good. And I am not the only person who watches it! Lotss of people watch Glee. It's apparently really popular and I know why. The Glee Club sings so good and all of the drama that goes along with high school life. But unfortunately next Wednesday is the season finale. And it's supposed to be really good. It just stinks that we are all going to have to wait until next year when the next season comes!

history CRAM!

History is not such a bad class. It's just a regular class that I have to do anyway. But lately, it's been pretty complicated. My teacher is making our class answer all of these complex questions in thesis form. So basically we have to have "this happend because of this, this, and this". And it's not that bad, but it's hard to find three reasons why something is what it is. Along with that, we have a vocabulary list of about 40 words that we have to look for in our notes. Some of the words aren't even in the chapter that we are studying! I know that this is high school, and I might just be complaining about it, but still. I sort of think that the pressure is definitely on because finals week is coming up pretty soon. I just hope that this assignment is useful in the future because finals week, is definitely tough and something to study for!

Coming Back...

Like I said before, Holidays are so much fun! Especially because we get school days off! In those fabulous days, we can do whatever we want. We can sleep, go out with friends or family, or simply relax at home. Just last week, we had the Thanksgiving Holiday which was four days long! (two of those days were school days). We had a three day school week! That was really something that I and I'm sure a lot of other people can get used to, quickly. Those days off I had a lot of family time, which is always the best! My family and I went to the movie on Thanksgiving morning to see The Blind Side. It was such a great movie! Later more family came over for Thanksgiving dinner, which of course was super delicious. The next day, my family and I decorated our house for CHRISTMAS! It just happens to be a tradition of ours to decorate after Thanksgiving, but it was really fun. During those days I also went to visit family over the weekend, went out to eat breakfast with my family, and watched a lot of movies right in the living room. Lotssss of family time this weekend, and it was nice. But on Monday, it was super hard to get up! I swear, I was totally not in the mood to start all over again, to get back into my school routine, and to do the everyday homework. I was so not ready for that, and now that this week is going, I can't wait for winter break! (or at least the weekend!) We only have a couple of weeks away, and I'm sure that they will just fly by..
