The Life of a Nomad

I feel as though I'm always running and never slowing down. I have literally been traveling it seems every other week since March. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE to travel but a few days of doing nothing would be much appreciated! When I'm not on the road, I'm babysitting and even on my supposed days off, somehow I end up with the kids. Not cool. I'm pumped for a relaxing weekend in St. Louis starting bright and early tomorrow! I think it will be nice to go back and not have a schedule! Every trip I go on seems to be so thought out which is my life. I love to know what I'm doing and when, but this break shall be exactly what I need! 2 more weeks from today and I will be enjoying California! I'm so excited! I have a feeling I will be traveling all the time for the next year...oh well, I guess I should get used to it!

What does it feel like to fail? I guess I'll learn!

So, in 15 days I will be enjoying myself in the California sun...I can feel it now, but I have way too much to do between now and then and it's not even funny. I feel like I'm going to fail at my FCCLA officerness between now and then. We do these things called STAR buddies and I'm in charge of figuring out what we give and such, but I have absolutely no idea what to do. We have so many great ideas, just figuring out how they are going to work makes me feel like i'm failing...I also accepted this job thing to sell advertising on a bag and it has to be done by the time I go to California and I honestly don't see myself finding the time. PLUS I have to do sponsorships for FCCLA. I am meeting with people next week to talk about sponsoring us for the next year, and it's kind of nerve racking. Not what I need right now. I can't wait for my weekend in St. Louis this weekend, it is much needed. I'm going to see the Marine's Silent Drill Platoon on Saturday and Sunday and it's time for some family time. I'm really hoping my cousin who we are going to see perform can actually do dinner with us or hang out after they perform, he lives in Washington DC so he's not around all that much and may very well be one of my favorite cousins. On top of everything I realized that my senior trip to Washington DC is not going to work with my FCCLA schedule. G.R.E.A.T. I guess I will be flying myself to DC at a different time, as I have counted down the days to my senior trip for the last four years because of how badly I want to go to the East Coast. Anywho, I am very excited to go to Anaheim in a couple of weeks, at least that is an exciting  thing.

Coming into the final year...

I hear people say ALL the time that they are ready to graduate and move on from high school onto bigger and better things, this isn't completely true with me. I actually do enjoy high school believe it or not! I've got it made right now, no worries, easy classes and I don't have to pay for anything! Sounds great right? I don't know why anyone would want to leave it! I can't believe I am going into my SENIOR year of high school. (Class of 2012 baby!) I am so not ready to graduate! There are so many things I want to do before I graduate, I don't think I will even come close to having enough time! The hardest thing for me about being a senior is the fact that I can't see any of my friends or myself being "old" enough to be seniors, it just doesn't seem like it is time. I guess the saying 'time flies when you're having fun' is very true. The last three years have been the best three years of my life so far. I am excited for all of the perks of being a senior, front row senior parking, first choice of EVERYTHING, and being "on top" of the school. I just don't want to graduate! How hard could it be, I could decide to fail a few classes and just not have the credits and be a "super senior" if I really wanted. I'm really excited to graduate and such, but as May 13, 2012 grows closer ( I know, it's a year away) I start to think and I really like life as it is. I have a jam packed summer, and I hope I can enjoy it being the last summer I have without worries and can enjoy it at home with my family. It seems like I was just elected as an FCCLA state officer, but it has seriously been two and a half months. I can't wait for all of the things that come with this, especially with my senior year, but I want my year to take its time and give me enough time to enjoy everything instead of a huge stressfest. I guess the point of this blog was that I'm just not ready for the next year. I plan to embrace it and enjoy it, but I am so not ready for it to be over quite yet. I honestly have some awesome teachers at my school and I look forward to going EVERY single day although there are days I just don't want to go, when I get there I'm usually glad that I did.
