That's something one of my good friend's dad says to her, and I find it humerous. But I definitely worked my plan this semester! Here are my final semester grades after taking my finals, which went EXTREMELY well.
Honors English Literature: 97.88%
Trigonometry: 91.45%
Honors Astronomy: 94.62%
Honors US History: 92.29%
Honors Spanish 3: 97.94%
My honors choir grade is not complete yet, we've been so busy with Madrigal until this week! But as of now, it's a 98.59%. I'm confident I aced the final and I think that my choral arrangement (one of the extra assignments I have to do for it to be an honors class) was really good, especially for my first one! It feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I also feel like I can handle more activities next semester. I just have to stay driven!
Well, merry Christmas to all!

Work, work, work!
No, the title of this post is not due to the fact that I am working my butt off in school right now (not that that isn't the case either). I actually have some very exciting news! Two pieces of new, in fact, both having to do with possible jobs in my future. I'll start with the less exciting one so you have to read the entire post. :)
I was walking down the staircase at school the other day when I suddenly noticed something odd. There was actually a flyer up on the Employment bulletin board! I'm pretty sure I've never seen anything there, especially in this economic climate. I walked up to it and it said that Papa Murphy's (which hasn't opened yet) was looking for about 15 part time employees. It was one of those flyers with the little tabs that you take off. I took one and emailed the owner of this alledged Papa Murphy's a few days later. She promptly replied with an application and information about the franchise--basically a Subway but with pizza--and I promptly sent the filled out application back to her! This afternoon she called me and we set up an interview! So naturally, I am quite excited. I've been wanting a job for a while.
Now, the even MORE exciting news. On Thanksgiving break I emailed the director of Street Reach, the organization that my mission trip was affiliated with, asking about how to apply for junior staff. Well, he recently sent me an enthusiastic reply, application attached, telling me all about what I'd have to do. It sounded like it was very possible for me to get a summer job there! Maybe it's just because he's a nice guy, but I think that this really is what God has planned for me. You see, he took a little while to email me back, and I was beginning to think of other summer activities I could be doing. Now get this; when I got that email, I was watching one of my favorite movies, Freedom Writers (also one of my favorite books), which is about a teacher who is working with inner city kids and changing their life. I do not cease to be amazed at how God sends messages to me through media! I was so excited, and I'm completely reinvigorated to spend my summer in Memphis. (By the way, in his email he explained that he thought he had already replied but it apparently hadn't gone through. So that also boosted my confidence!) I have the application filled out and I'm going to work on the personal sketch and essay over Christmas break.
I am feeling God's sunshine in my heart once more. Thank you for those who have been advising and praying for me. I love you all! God bless you!
P.S. I just reread the post I wrote after my mission trip, and I must say it brought tears to my eyes! Please pray that God continues to show me what His purpose for my life is! I honestly cannot wait to start His work.
