Almost Done

There are exactly six days left of classes. So you would think that would completely be a good thing, but its not. This is by far the most stressful time of the year. Your workload is basically on overload which is never good. Not to mention that the weather is finally starting to get nice after what seemed like the winter from hell that lasted forever.

The only thing that makes finals better than midterms is that you get a whole separate week for them. But that doesn't stop professors from killing you with work. You get tons of assignments like papers, tests, speeches, presentations you name it. All in one week. You can't even enjoy the last week you have here with your friends because you have so much work to do. All you can do is look forward to summer because otherwise the stress gets to be too much.

Another downer about the end of the year is the weather. Finally we are having warm weather. And the worst/best part about it is the nicest days seem to be on Fridays. This makes is extremely hard to go to class. And now isn't exactly the best time to be slacking off. Now is the time to be pulling up your grades.

I am definitely on my way to failing my first class. Well I know I am failing and this makes me just want to give up on the class because there is no way I can pull my grade up. Not to mention that I am sick... AGAIN. I feel like I have been sick nonstop this whole year. Next Friday couldn't come soon enough!

Birthdays

Every year people look forward to their birthdays. Well at least when they are around my age, maybe not so much as they get older. Every year I can't wait to get to that next year that earns you more privileges. Getting older is important to me because whenever I meet people, it never fails that they think I am 16 which gets really annoying.

For your 16th birthday you get your license. At 17 you can get into R rated movies. When you turn 18 you can buy a lot of different things that you couldn't before, like scratch tickets and cigarettes. When you turn 18 you can also get a tattoo.

But for my 18th birthday I didn't really do anything special. I bought a scratch ticket with one that I had gotten for my birthday and won on. Other than that though I did nothing great.

So this year my best friend and I decided we are going to get tattoos on my birthday. Most people do it when they turn 18, but I waited until 19 because I had no idea what I wanted. I still don't really know what I want but I'm going to figure it out and do it anyways. This might not be the best idea since it will be permanent on my body and will be there for the rest of my life. But once I get an idea in my head I can't let it go and I have to do it.
