Happy Sunday! I'm so excited for this week; my birthday is on Tuesday and the choir trip to Chicago is from Thursday night to Sunday morning! I hope it's as fun as I want it to be! Prom last night was so much fun. We took pictures at the liberty memorial where we were lucky enough to have beautiful weather and a beautiful view of Downtown Kansas City. We went to the Uptown Theater where our prom was held, and the decorations looked amazing. It was so fun to see everyone all dressed up!
For dinner we had Caesar's salad, bowtie pasta in a creamy tomato sauce, mashed potatoes, and chicken in a creamy herb sauce (it was so good!) and for dessert we had cake pops! I had a red velvet cake pop, and it was delicious. After we finished eating, my friends and I went to the photobooth to take pictures, then the band started playing! They're four senior guys and the name of their band is Three Minutes Since. They were surprisingly really good! After they finished, the DJ played some pretty crappy music, but that's okay because it was still super fun! I'm so glad I went even though I didn't have a date.
Now, onto the main topic of this post: school. I hate school. There is no end to my hatred for school. I go to a private school, so I get way too much homework. It's absolutely ridiculous. From the moment I wake up at 6 a.m. to when I go to sleep at 11 or later, I feel like I'm constantly working and I never get a break. Of course that's not true because I have lunch and I eat and shower when I get home, but what I mean is that I have very little time to just do what I want to do, which usually means scrolling on Tumblr or watching Friends. I might not even mind school so much if I didn't have homework. In fact, I think that if I didn't have homework, I could even enjoy school. I like spending time with my friends and I usually like learning, I just hate homework because it is a complete waste of my time and it takes forever. It has absolutely no value because it's mostly busy work, which is so annoying!
However, I've decided that for the rest of the school year (which is just a little over a month) I really need to buckle down and finish the year strong. I hope I can do this and also raise my ACT score! This is how I plan on doing it:
1. When I come home from school, I can watch one 30-minute TV show, then I have to finish all of my other homework before I can get on the internet or watch more TV.
2. I have to get as much done at school as possible, meaning I have to find a quiet place during my free periods. This will leave more time to study for APs and the ACT.
3. Study at least 10 APUSH flashcards every night.
4. Do at least one ACT prep test every night.
5. For every A I get on a test/quiz/project, I get to do something fun! (As in, watch TV, read a chapter of a book, or eat some ice cream).
Wish me luck!
Carpe Diem,
Brooke
