Today I took a quiz on my last history chapter. It was the fortieth chapter of the year, and I was so ready for it. So many hours of reading my text book and looking up terms, of taking notes and crying (just kidding...but seriously), and I am done! I have read almost 1000 pages of that text book. Insane.
My school year is coming to a close. I just finished a project for Spanish, we finished the Nations Game in History and took a test on it today, we are done in Chemistry... Now I just have to finish the rest of my assignments. A little more math, an essay for History, a completed portfolio for AP Lang, and studying for my semester tests. And then I will be a senior. Yikes!
Going back to that portfolio... I am almost finished. Yay! I have been building it for about a week now, and I think I have put more work into it than a mother puts into raising her firstborn. Okay that was a bit of a hyperbole, but seriously... I have worked on it for hours every single night, but that is probably just because I am an overachiever. I have far surpassed the requirements. All we HAD to do was include a resume, reading list, and four pieces of school work that display accumulated skills. I don't know why I felt the need to go above that, but alas I did, and so now my portfolio not only includes pages for reading, writing, and a resume, but band and drama, as well as a page for an additional project that I am very proud of. I have included pictures and videos, and small tidbits about the very essence of Natasha. Mrs. Huff would be proud. I am currently working on this portfolio actually... And have been since about four hours ago.
So good day?... Better than the last.

Graduation Weekend
My sister graduated Friday.
Our whole family went to eat before the commencement and while we were having dinner I gave her her present from me. I wrote a letter to go with the present and when she read it she started crying, so I started crying, so my mom started crying. Brea stopped but my mother and I couldn't, so we just sat at the table crying for about five minutes or so. It was actually pretty humorous, even though it was extremely sad.
After that I stayed out all night with some of my friends. We worked really hard to keep our minds off of our friends and family that had just finished high school. Needless to say, I was quite worthless the next day. I came home around noon and took a nap from about four to six thirty or so.
Today I went to church and taught the little toddlers' class at church. A room full of children of two and three... Not a good remedy for a sleep deprived teenager. Oh well. But, the children did inspire me. I love them to death, they are precious, and they remind me that there is more to the world that worrying about your older sister going off to college. They remind me that there are countless others in the world to love and care for. And that is marvelous.
So, good weekend? Definitely better than the last. :)

My Memory
My memory is a very odd thing. When it comes to dates, random facts, odd tidbits of information that really don't matter... My memory is excellent. Even in school, I have an uncanny ability to remember history terms or chemical equations after only a glance. I can recall something that I learned about in history six months back. But when it comes to blogging... I simply cannot remember to do so. It's been weeks since I last posted!
So since I've lasted blogged, a great many occurrences have plagued my life. I took two AP exams (Chemistry and English Language) and hopefully passed them, but we will see about that in July. I have watched my sister complete her last day of high school, and will watch her graduate tomorrow. I have pretty much done everything except blog. I WILL remember (but really, I probably won't).
I am currently working on an ePortfolio to document my achievement in school, especially AP English, since it is for this class that I am creating the portfolio. I'll try to post a link when I am finished. By the way, if anyone is a moonfruit.com genius, I could use your assistance.
So today was pretty good. I had a normal day in math, a better than usual day in study hall, a great day in English since we went to the computer lab, and a melancholy day in band. All the seniors came back to band to rehearse one last time the song that we are playing at graduation. It was just sad to see them all in the band room as band students for the last time, especially since one was my sister. I will miss them all.
So all in all, was today a good one? Better than the last.
