A Long Awaited College Update!

So I haven't blogged since August. Oops! I've been super busy with college! I'm doing well socially. I joined the Newman Catholic Club and I sing at mass and I have friends.

I'm also doing well academically, but finals are coming up and that's a stressful time! I'm most worried about my theater final. We have to memorize a scene with a partner and write a paper about it. My partner, is a commuter, so we have only gotten to rehearse once outside of class, because we are both busy. Last time we rehersed in front of the teacher, and he ripped me apart. I know it's part of theater (Being criticized) but it really felt like he was only picking on me. I'm also having trouble with lines. The hardest part is for me to want what my character wants, and to have action behind each line. When I told my proffessor about having Aspergers, he said well theres somone in the acting major program that has that same issue and doesn't struggle with sacracsm and empathy. I wish people would understand that not everyone is the same, especially two people with the same disability.

To top everything off, I've been extremely tired lately. I went to the doctor who ran a blood test and everything was normal. Another posbility is that one of my medications is making me tired, but this medicine really helps with my pain.

In my very few spare minutes, I've been working on knitted christmas gifts. Will post pictures of them after they are finished and given out.

Last weekend was fun, because I went to see Promises, Promises with a friend. I had already seen the show, but loved it the first time and wanted to see it again. Sadly, Sean Hayes was out sick this time! However, Kristen Chenoweth was still performing that night!

That's all for now

almost time for college

In exactly two weeks, I will be moving in to college. This summer went by so quickly! It was a great summer though! Last wekeend, I travled to New York City. I went to the mets/Phillies game. The game was really fun, especially since the Phillies won! Then I went to see Promises Promises! I met my idol, Kristen Chenoweth! She was amazing, as won Sean  Hayes. I never knew Sean Hayes could sing!

My pain has been average this week. I decided I will audition for orchestra at college, so praticing for this will cause some pain. I've been swimming a couple of times, and this helps my pain greatly.

I'm working on a few knitted projects. I'm about to finish a cell phone sock. It was a really easy pattern. I worked on it at another Phillies game that I went to on Friday night. They won again! I've also worked on socks.and a baby blanket. The blanket is to put aside for any shower gifts in the future.

Happy 4th!

Greetings!
Happy 4th of July!
I've been quite busy lately. Yesterday I went out for sushi with a friend. It was great catching up with her. We went to camp and middle school together.

 As it is now July, I'm hoping to finish my mom's knitted philly phanatic by the time her bday comes around (July 13th). She knows about the phanatic, and is going to help me stuff it. I bought an outfit at build a bear for it but might exchange it for just a philies shirt rather than a full uniform.

I almost finished the blue socks yesterday. I messed up on the measurements and the one is too small. Oh well, such is life.

I just started socks for my grandfather. I hope he will like them. I'm doing them toe up.

udpate

hello readers
Today I'm going to the Idina Menzel concert with my Aunt and Uncle as my graduation gift. In my opinion it is one of the coolest gifts ever! I love Idina and cannot wait to hear her in person!

I'm writing this on my new laptop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so awesome! It's a dell inspiron, and the front features a design by OPI polish. Its so great finally having a laptop without any blocks.

I finished my princess socks finally, and i'm working on anklets for me, and a phillies phanatic for my mom.

I'm a high school graduate!

I graduated the 16th. I received three awards, the presidential award, the citizenship award, and the upper school award. It was a great ceremony and it feels great to be a grad! I will miss my friends and teachers, but I'm ready to make new ones.

Two Days Left of My High School Career

It is unbelievable that I only have two days of high school left! It seems like just yesterday it was the first day of 9th grade. The only homework I had this weekend was to study for my last final which is Tuesday. Overall high school has been good, it had its ups and downs, but wasn't terrible.

On a knitting note, I finshed Rachel's skew socks today, and am now starting the second sock from the princess sock I made in December. I'm also working on a hat for my best friend, Erin. She picked the pattern and the color.

The first sock of Rachel's socks!

June 16th I graduate!

Wow, I'm almost a high school graduate!

It so intersting to think that in less than a month I will be a high school graduate, it seems like just yesterday that it was my first day of 9th grade! Only a few things left to do, present senior project on tuesday, the 25th, and then take finals and my last final is on the 8th. I will be attending Long Island University- CW Post Campus. Soon I have to register for classes. I'm so excited! I know it will be hard work, but I'm ready.

In other news, I've been busy knitting. I'm almost finished Rachel's skew socks. I think after that I will work on anklets for me. I'm also still working on my DC socks.
