no title.....just me sayin hi

So, i was looking back on some of my old posts, i do that from time to time, and i was just thinking it would be soo cool if i could combine them all in a book along witht he videos i have posted. It would be SWEET if you could have a video on a page in you're notebook. Maybe technology will get there someday.

This weekend, espically today was amazing. it was up to 78 degrees. Thats pretty warm for Washington. haha. I love it. It so rare that we get amazing weather. i seriously never blog anymore, its because i am always on fb (facebook; Gotta love it. ) I am like addicted to it. haha.

Right now its late and i need to get ready for bed, but the exciting thing is, is that tomorrow is a 2 hr late start. YAYAY because the sophomores are taing the Science WASL. Even if you did not pass it you're sophomore year you do not have to retake it. I did not pass the reading and writing last year by 20 points... :( so i had to retake it this year. I felt better about it this time. I really hope i passed. It is also a graduating requirement.

Ahh, i am going to graduate next year. SO SCARY! But exciting. I think i have a plain going, For my 1st year i am going to stay here in Washington and go to WSU-vancouver, (honestly i really wanna get out of Washington and go somewhere nice and sunny all year) but its the best for our budget.

Well, thats all for now.

Peace Out. :)

College..............

Well to start off currently...My brother and his friend just broke one of my moms favorite Christmas (glass) house. UGH! I seriously don't understand why boys are so immature and act like their cool. ahhh. oh, being 13. Its not the best, Because you trying to figure out who you are and what you want to do and its important to stay true to yourself and not let others mold your personality.

One stress i have been thinking about lately is how i am going to pay for college. I honestly have very little money saved up and the money i have could buy me a text book. haha. wow.... Um, So basically from now on i am saving all my money and putting it towards college. Lately my dad has been saying that i will have to go to a Washington school...ewww. I so want to get out of here.

I keep allowing my mind to think that i am not happy here in this cold, rainy, wet, damp, random, gloomy weather anymore. I have lived with it tooo long. I just do not get motivated at all.

So i am looking at schools with Reciprocity. These schools allow me to pay more than an instate fee and less than an out of state fee. The states that have it, that i would consider going to is Arizona, Hawaii, Oregon, California and here. Not too many to choose from.

Hawaii would be amazing. They have such good cheerleading! Same with UO.
I always get the feeling that somehow i will end up at The University Of Oregon. lol. My dad went there. The only reason i sorta don't want to go to UO is again, because of the weather. And i know i should not pick a school based on the weather conditions but it truely changes my attitude and how i do things. Eugene is a wonderful place to live though. : )

I wish they had Texas. That would be cool. I could go to school there and still see one of my old neighbors that are so amazing. I love them. : ) But the Reciprocity does not have that.

Now i am trying to figure out what scholarships i can apply for, I still have to take the SAT, Possibly the ACT's. Maybe both. It depends where i want to go to school. I also have to complete(pass) the reading and math WASL. UGH!! I was so close to passing I missed both of them by 20 points. Which on that is not many at all. I was not happy at all. But if we get good enough scores on the SAT we can replace that for a WASL score.

So that's all my mind is going through right now. *sigh* wow.

bye!

.Amanda.

Off to more College/Scholarship hunting....................(this could be a while).
Hopefully this year once i narrow down colleges i can go visit them. Sweet!

Christmas 2008

Christmas was nice this year. We truly had a "White Christmas"!! Most people are tired of the snow by now becasue its been here for so long.

Christmas gifts:

* WALL-E DVD
* INSTINCT (sprints version of the iphone. WOO HOO)
* Itunes gift card. : )
* Ugg Boots
* Tall socks
* High School Musical 3 CD w/ a bonus cd of "The making of HSM"
* Faith Hill Christmas CD
* Electric Balnket- That will go to great use, i am always cold.
* Cute black coat
* Thrillville DS game
* Kitty Calendar
* Socks and lotion from bath and body works
* Money
* My first own artificial tree. Woo HOO! I decorated it. : )
-Oh and candy! You can never go wrong with that.


My Christmas was nice. I got to talk to my cousin Holly. (she lives in Hawaii.- so jealous. She has a one year old daughter named Maile and she is now 4 months pregnant. she doe's not know if its a boy or a girl yet.)

For dinner we had Prime Rib. Yummmy. It is really rich though. I found out that i liked it but there were so many rich flavors for dinner that i kinda had an upset stomach. : ( But it was all good.

The snow we have been having is crazy to drive in. Yesterday we went over to my aunt and uncles house to surprise them...and its only like 10-15 minutes away. Were lucky we had a 4 wheel drive(we were borrowing a friends car while he was gone away on a trip for a long time). Even having a 4 wheel drive its treacherous out there.

I am just chillin out upstairs while my brother and his friend have their "JAM SESSION". oh my gosh they are so loud.
Banging drums + Electric guitar + Huge Amp + no soundproof room= Me wishing i had ear plugs. So i am in the bonus room typing this blog and listening to all the new music i received from Christmas.

Love ya!

Future ideas and Christmas is almost here

So i don't know what got me thinking of this, But when i catch up with my future (which i think is impossible.) This would be my "ideal life"

The Perfect Home consists of the following:

~Living in a warm climate
~Balcony
~Walk-in (BIG) closet
~Bedroom with my own bathroom
~Fireplace in room
~Warm colors and sayings in every room
~2 story house
~Piano

And another idea i had is when i have kids i will start their college fund when their really young and so when they get older their college could be paid for. : ) And i would not have to worry about borrowing money(loan) ect.

Anyways- thats it for now.

COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS TIME:


CHRISTMAS EVE- 1 DAY

CHRISTMAS DAY- 2 DAYS

YAY!

S-N-O-W!!!!!!!!!

it snowed this weekend. The new caster people are calling it a "Arctic Blast" temperatures have not been above freezing for a couple days. In the mornings when i go to school it has been 19 degrees Fahrenheit. BURRRRRR!
So on the news one night (Monday) they said VANSD (my school district) was closed. And everyone was SO EXCITED, but it turns out it was a mishap and school was OPEN on monday.

Tomorrow this has been the conclusion of most students is that we will go to school tomorrow but it will be a 2 hour early release!! YAY, and they will let us go home before the weather conditions get bad. and Thurs and Fri. school might be closed because the news predicted like 2-4 inches of SNOW!
That means we will have a early Christmas break!

Old Christmas traditions: We would make cookies for Santa and then my brother and i would both write him a note. I always asked for a picture of Rudolph (the red nose reindeer)and then my mom would cut veggies and we would toss them out in our back yard and in the morning they would be gone, because the reindeer ate them. : )

Christmas is like the best time of year. Its just magical. Idk how to explain it, its different to every person.

well thats all for now. ttyl.
