Spring Semester Begins
Wow, that seemed like the longest 3 weeks of my entire life. We got back from break the first week of January and it has been not stop work, studying, and reviewing for finals. And the last two weeks has been nothing but finals, since the school decided to split it up this year and not make finals as overwhelming. That didn’t turn out too well, because everyone thought it was more exhausting and overwhelming. But in any case, it’s all a learning experience.
Not quite sure how my overall grades or GPA turned out, since I still need to talk to a few teachers and things here and there, but overall it shouldn’t be too terrible, but I know I can always do better next semester. No one is perfect after all, so there’s always room for improvements.
I’ve had a pretty long semester it seems like. So much has happened in my life in just so little time. These are times I’ll never forget thats for sure. Some highlights of the semester would have to be being back from China and seeing slight improvements each time I go to the eye doctor, being more involved in school, meeting new poeple diagnosed or effected with LHON in someway, my 16th birthday, friends and family who are always there for me, knowing those who went to China and came back with improvements, and so much more. Seems like the list can just go on forever and ever.
And no one understand who awesome this past year has been so far! Just glad finals are over. They always put so much stress on students and a bit overwhelming. It’s just somehting we have to do, and never ends until we graduate college. So, I’ll get used to it, which I pretty much am by now.
Anywyas, I have a lot to look forward to this semester as well. Hmm…Our family might consider taking my brother to Chian as well to do the stem cell treatment since I went last summer and saw good improvements. But everything is still up in the air right now, because of so many things. And if he goes, I so want to go and see everyone in Qingdao. I miss everyone there! And if you keep up with my blog, that’s awesome,a nd hope you guys are all doing well. Even through you busy schedules, its nice to recieve an email from you here and there. I love hearing from all of you guys!
This semester I’ll have to work harder than ever to finish my Junior year strong.! Colleges will definitely look at how well I’m doing in school, so I can’t slack off now. Not like I’ll ever do that anywyas. I always try to keep as postive and modivated as possible to do well. If someone tells me I can’t do something, then I’ll try to do it anyways. I’ll also have to be on a lookout ofr what college I might consider going to after I graudate. It’s scary to think that I apply in less than a year for colleges. I don’t even know what I want to do with my life. LoL Not sure exactly what college I want to go to, but I do know that I want to major in psychology and maybe minor in child develpment. I think it will be super fun, because those are both things that I love with all my heart. I know I’ll do good. poeple say I work well with kids and am also a good listener. So, if you ever need anyone to talk to, you know I’ll always be here. 
I also have SATs and ACTs to get ready for. That’s intense…so much pressure on these tests these days. It’s so nerve wrecking to do so well. It would be terrible to have a bad day and do poorly, but I think I’ll do fine if I just do some studying here and there. I’m not too worried about it now, but when the time gets closer I might start freaking out.
And there’s always prom this year! Woot for junior prom! LoL Not sure if I’ll be asked, or even if I’ll go, but its something to look forward to in the near future. And I so want to go, but we’ll see what happens. I wouldn’t even mind if I just went with a bunch of my friends and just had an amazingly awesome time. I think its fun just to do something to end the year. So, we’ll see life takes me by the time it gets closer to prom.
Wow, I still can’t get over how much has happened in so little time. Things just keep happening and I just can’t keep up with all this excitement it seems like.
Ok. well since finals are over and all that pressure is off. I’ll be sure to update every once in awhile regarding my schooling, grades, tests, family, friends, improvements in vision for sure, and anything else that seems to happen to me these days.
Hope everyone started out the year beautifully!
