Sarah's Update

I'm really busy this year, my senior year in high school (Seniors '06! :D). I am taking five classes: AP Government, AP English, AP Calculus, Speech (required, ugh...), and Interior Design. I don't really like school too much. I hate speech and government, but luckily those and interior design are only one semester long each. English isn't too bad; the teacher likes me and I'm making a 100% in it. I like Calculus quite a bit. I really like math and my teacher is cool, and I'm the top student in the class.

I also got a job two months ago at Garden Ridge (as mom posted last time). It's not great but it's not bad. It takes a little drive to get there, but the people there are pretty nice. And I get a 20% discount! (For those of you who don't know, Garden Ridge is a floral/craft/home decor/holiday stuff super center. You can look on their website to get a better idea. Oh, and we've had Christmas stuff out since before I got there at the beginning of September.) It does take a lot of time though. They make me work about 24 hours a week, despite telling them I can't work more than 20 hours. *Sigh*, oh well. I guess it just means more money to save for college.

Along with school and work, I still have seminary every morning, which means some days I'm only home a couple hours the whole day! Somehow, I'm surviving... barely... I think.

In other news, I got my scores from ACT tests. I got a 34 out of 36 composite (average) score!!! That's really good... I got a 31 in English, 34 in Math, 36 in Reading (amazingly), and 34 in Science. Hopefully, that score will help me get some scholarship money. I want to go to Texas A&M but I haven't got around to getting my application in yet. I just need to finish the essays but I'm just so busy lately. (I probably should be doing that right now instead, hehehe...). Well, that's MY update.
