well today was just a typical busy school day...when i was little i thought i'd NEVER be one of those "cool" seniors that i looked up to WAY too much...welll, now i'm a senior, and as far as school, i still feel like a little kid with WAY more to learn...and i don't see myself as all that "cool" either, haha...when you're 13, the *gasp* EIGHTEEN year olds seem so much older and more mature, it's really comical looking back on how i and others around me used to DREAM of being...a SENIOR...and now, i am...whoop...dee...doo...haha...i mean, it is great to be a senior, last year of highschool, goin to college next year and all that good stuff, but, it's definitely not what it appears to a 13 year old...we're all still just a nervous, anxious, curious, awkward kid sometimes...i guess whether you're 13 or 18, all you can do is just live for Christ, be who He wants you to be and not who anyone else wants you to be; and don't second guess yourself, who you are, what you're made of, you're a child of the King and destined for wonderful things...
this year my classes consist of government & economics, english literature, physics, advanced math (trig, calc, and analytical geometry), genesis and revelations, spanish, and piano...so far my favorite class of ALL TIME has been spanish! i LOVE it! i think already being able to speak mandarin and seeing all the opportunities that has opened up for me gave me the needed boost to be passionate about working on spanish, my third language...it's so simple compared to mandarin, and really fun to speak! i can't roll my "r"s though, that's a big problem...haha...workin on it...i do believe G's calling me into overseas work, and since i still have no clue where that is, i thought it would prepare me for that to learn some basic spanish...unless, ya know, G decides to demonstrate His sense of humor, as He often does in these situations, and after i take years of college spanish send me to africa or something...haha...ideally i'd like to be fluent in mandarin, spanish, and french...that's part of the 10 year plan for now...i love math, i would have taken Algebra 2 over and over and over again if they'd let me...but i had to move on to plane geometry...which i hated with a PASSION...this year i'm doing calculus and trig...that hasn't been soooo bad, i'd take it over geometry ANY day, but it's still not as FUN as algebra!! physics, eh, not my favorite science, but at least it makes sense...my FAVORITE is definitely biology...then chemistry...physics is kinda boring...gov. and economics, interesting, very detailed study on american government, something i think is especially relevant today with the current political turmoil in the good ol' US of A...english literature...ah, Shakespeare, chaucer, spenser, campion, love love love...piano...i love piano...it's a shining beacon of hope as i trudge through my bleak days of calculus and physics...i can always get on the piano and play to my heart's content and insist to mom that piano is just as important as all that other...stuff! in addition to all that good stuff, i'm tutoring chinese for the first time, i've taught english plenty of times, but i've never taught chinese...the couple i'm teaching is DELIGHTFUL so i am really having a lot of fun with that!
on another unrelated note, please pray for a baby girl in an orphanage near here, she is just one month old and has spinabifida, a cleft palate, and she is completely blind...she desperately needs a foster family or she will not make it...pray that the Lord will raise up a family willing to take her in who will be just what she needs...not that there aren't hundreds and thousands of other children in the same boat as her, but this baby really needs a miracle...and i believe miracles still happen...so, please pray...
well i could go on and on about other things, BUT, i need rest before school tomorrow so i'm gonna climb in my cozy bed and watch an episode of The Unit (yeah!!), before drifting off to blessed sleep...thank you dear Jesus that i'm not cold, i'm not hungry, i'm not ill, and i have a bed to sleep in...good night, world!
