well today was the first day of school;

got up at 645am, watched FOX News First (to surprisingly find out that they received new weather branding "First Warning" along with new graphics [only weather graphics], and i pretty much feel in love with them) haha. left my house at 800am, got to school at 810...we were suppose to meet our "link leaders" group at like 745, but i refused to go. so the bell rung at 815 and i went to my first class, physics...overall i think i'm gonna like that class...2nd period i had government/economics, overall i think i'm gonna like that class too. 3rd was english, nothing new. 4th was PRE-CAL - ewwww. i'm gonna basically fail that class, she gave us an assignment already >_<. lol then lunch - i was really happy during that time, i got to hang out with the seniors who graduated last year, we went off campus to Double Dave's ate there, caught up with each other, and then went back to the HS at 1245, then i met up with one of my other buds, chase, who too gradated last year in the choir room, 5th period was choir - the mens section virtually tripled in size. lol, 6th period was AP Music Theory - which was really boring, and i might drop it for sociology/psychology.

i know we had a few other members start school today, and even a few of them seniors.  :biggrin: class of '09 rocks  :D

I just walked around my school. Needless to say, whoever designed/built it should be banned from Architecture......

Other than that, it seems like a nice place... :yes:

well, i started to think about colleges today (certainly isn't the first time, trust me..but it's been a long summer), and decided that i should make a few college visits at TCU in Fort Worth, and Austin College in Sherman,TX (not too far north from DFW).

i'm not really sure where to begin with all this college stuff, i've done my research (not only on my free will, but as an English assignment), and still nothing. i don't know where to begin, except for SAT and ACT testing. I've already taken the SAT Test twice, and plan on taking it the third time (third times the charm, right?) and i've yet to take the ACT Test, but have already registered for the September 13 test date.

now what? lol

Actually, I just started the process a few days ago once I got something from Iowa State.  Before I do anything, I am retaking the ACT sometime in September to better my score.

I'm stuck between 3 schools right now, and I am stuck on which one.  I will more than likely visit two of these schools sometime during the semester.

But, hopefully it will be easier than it sounds. haha

Aargh. What a month its been. So, this time last month my grandmother went into the hospital to have one of her heart valves replaced. Seems simple enough, right? It should've been, but it wasn't. The operation was successful, but she's been in the hospital ever since. She was supposed to recover in a few days, and then be sent to get rehabilitation, and then ultimately sent home. Well, to make a long story short she never made it that far. She's had complication after complication, including liver disease and encephalitis. For awhile we thought she might still pull through, but over the past month she's gotten progressively worse. The liver disease and encephalitis (fluid on the brain) have taken their toll. Within the past week she's basically become a vegetable. She's no longer able to speak, probably doesn't recognize anyone, is so yellow she's almost green (from the liver disease)and basically just lays there staring into space, mouth agape. Last night she was transported by ambulance back to her home in West Virginia (she was here in MD in Johns Hopkins) to live out her final days. The doctors said she'd live till Saturday at best. Well, we just got a call that we'd better get up to West Virginia in a hurry because she probably won't make it to see tomorrow.

Yeah, what a month its been.   :hmm:
