"Summer Break"

So, I've finished my first semester of college....if you can call it that and now I'm preparing to start the Fall semester in a week...EEP! This summer was a great experience and I won't regret my choice to go to UCF.  It's a great school and I think my college years are going to fly by because of it.  I hope to blog about it to, whether anyone follows or not, so I can have the memories to look back on when I graduate or even (fingers crossed) pursue graduate school!  I have some big dreams, with a lot of work involved if I want to achieve them.  Let's just hope I keep my enthusiasm and love for learning, especially math.  Can't wait for college Calculus! :) For now, I'm home baking treats for my parents-like usual- I love baking and in a dorm, it's a bit hard to do so without an oven.  I hear a Red Velvet cake in the oven waiting to be converted into cake pops! ;)

Math Placement Test from hell.....

It's been a few days since I've updated! I've been basically attached to the UCF math placement test website, I took a practice test and realized I do not like computer testing...(EEP)  After my first 3 hours, I began doing the working through the study tips for the real test, and so far I've clocked about 20 hours doing ALGEBRA. I just graduated and I completed Calculus, very successfully! Now, I'm struggling with little algebra, it's been too long! BUT about half of it is material I recently learned.

Anyway, I leave for college in 3 WEEKS.  I only have 2 more Sundays of the church I've attended the past few years, and then I'm on my own to find my own church and go, on my own will... it's pretty exciting. :) I can't wait for orientation to get a student ID and feel like a real 'college kid!'

^^^I get this in about 9 days,
I'm kind of excited to have it.... ha ha.

Mom's going to miss me...!

Today, I brought up the idea of going out with a friend tomorrow on Memorial Day to her lake house.  Mom started crying, I think she's realizing I'm less than a month from heading off to college! (eeeep!) Needless to say, I chose to stay at home with the family.


I'm extremely excited, but I can't have my mom home and upset, so I decided to attempt to make her a bound scrapbook, not the glue and do-it-yourself kind(we have different tastes in those which was discovered during the Senior Scrapbook Project....) this seemed like a more practical and durable route!


Hope it turns out great and she cries tears of JOY love her to death!

High School Graduation, check!

Graduation actually happened, a lot faster than I expected... (eeep!)


When you start school at such a young age -- for me it was 2, almost 3-- you never think the day is going to come where you get to wear the completely unflattering hat and walk across the stage to shake a few hands of elderly people and get a piece of paper saying you spent all of your life so far learning. 


Now that it's over, as of 8 days ago, I decided I wanted to write about my preparations, anxieties and goals for college! as well as other various and far more exciting things of course.


Hope you enjoy reading my daily goofs, mistakes and hopefully achievements!
