Talking to the Walls  
*wipes dust off LJ*

Ello good 'ole friend.  Its been awhile, a long while. I just felt like typing, so here I am.

I'm on winter vacation and I can find nothing better to do than spend it playing guitar hero III, going on the internet and procrastinating on assignments due when I get back. It seems that I need some motivation or something. I've been slacking on getting work done. As the years have gone by I've become more and more lazy. Its school and how much I am seriously getting tired of it. AP courses this year have made it worse, well at least AP Lang. I swear when this year is up I'm done with AP courses.  When this year is up I have one more and then off to a university, I can't wait, seriously.

Talking about uni. I came up with the bizarre thought of possibly applying to John Hopkins next year. Not that I'd really go or get accepted for that matter, and my parents don't want me going out of state, but I'm leaving options open as to possible universities. It has the top medical university in the nation basically, and if I got accepted, wow, there would be no words to describe it. But it was just a thought.

So another Christmas has come and gone. And soon December will be over with. No more Christmas lights, or Christmas trees, or the big-bellied guy pretending to be Santa at the local mall. The whole spirit of the Holidays will be gone, and the new year will begin. I hate it honestly. I love it when its Christmas, but when its over its just, bleh.  But I did have a great Christmas. Got a bunch of DVDs, Guitar Hero II to go with Guitar Hero III, an awesome guitar for Guitar hero, CDs, and an iTrip for my car. And I got to spend it with my whole family. Everyone came over and hung out, and I accidentally got my family hooked on Guitar Hero, its so funny.  Now New Years Eve is near. Can't wait for the huge party at my aunts. But I got to say, this year has brought me alot. I finally came in contact with my god-father who I haven't seen since I was literally like 9 months old. And I've got to see my two favorite bands EVER. Evanescence and Chevelle.   got to see Amy Lee up close (ground floor, right up to the stage) and Tim McCord from Evanescence even GAVE me his guitar pick, oh mm gee!! The year has been filled with good memories, and not-so-good ones which will probably always be in the back of my mind.

Anyways. SATs Jan. 26th, got to say not looking forward to that. But I got to get it over and done with.  Hm...anymore random news....oh I have a cat now!!! I named her Trinity after Trinity from the Matrix, haha. Shes black and white, and aggressive as all hell, but still sweet and cute.

I'm done for today. Until whenever. ;)

Guitar Hero III is definitely addicting. I have been playing since Christmas too, lol.

It is pretty normal to get "lazy" with school in your Junior year, especially with the course load you are taking. My advice would be to either take AP or dual enrollment- not both. I think with less of a demanding course load you won't have to work as hard and actually be able to have time for yourself once and while where you can just relax and not have to think about band or classes. Your spirits will also be lifted and you may not be as lazy. I hope AP Lang gets better for you. Just hang in there. I had a hard time with it too. You are half way through!

I think you should apply to John Hopkins. There are two possible outcomes. 1. You apply and you don't get in (big deal) and 2. You apply and you get in and you are damn proud of yourself. I think you may be plesently surprised at what you are capable of, Check what John Hopkins average SAT scores are GPA are. I know you could get accepted even if you do not have an intention of going there. It is just nice to see what you are actually capable of.

Well I am glad you had a great Christmas and good luck on the SAT in Janurary!

Miss you! ♥

Becky!! :D

I've had Guitar Hero III for awhile, I've been playing Guitar Hero II, it has some good music on there including, Carry on my Wayward Son, lol. I didn't know you liked Guitar Hero!! Omg, so cool. lol.

Yeah, my counselor said that I should just stick with my BCC courses, it wouldn't make a difference if I did AP courses, so thats what I'll be doing next year. So hopefully things will get better.

I want to go bowling, like really bad. I want to set up a group to go next week after the New Year. Would you be able to go? I'm so bored! and I want to hang out with you!!

Anyways, thank so much girl.. Love you and miss you!
