End of the Trimester.

I already know my major downfall as a writer, I hate writing "The End" or finishing off my story in any way. I always feel that I can do more if given more time, so with writing, I take more time (and more time, and more time, and more time....) but with my education, I cannot choose how much time I take. If it were up to me, i would get to spend all my life continuing my education, but I will need to move on from high school for good eventually. (Unless I do what Arti is doing which is exactly what i want to do)

Well, this concept of me hating ends comes up even more apparently when the term in school ends.

Last Thursday concluded the first trimester of my Junior year in high school. It seems like a sweet thing, I am done with math for the year, and I get to relax from acting for a little while, but it's still hard. The two classes that were driving me berserk are the two classes I'm most sorry to leave.
Another class I'm sorry to leave is my seminary class. the group was a ton of fun, and our teacher was the best I've had. (I tend to think that about every seminary teacher). But the group was really exceptional. The boys were some of the cutest seminary boys ever, and everyone was so nice to me. I'm gonna miss them, but I have seminary again next trimester, so I hope I will get the chance to love a whole new group of my peers.

Twilight came out over the weekend, and I was really excted to see it, but my mom says we're going to see it over the Thanksgiving break as a family (I'll try to hold her to that.)

Snowdrifts, though I'm finished with the third draft, is still too much bones, and not enough meat, so I'm going head into the fourth draft, in hopes that I will finish by the end of the year, there are only a few things I need to change, because it's generally pretty good. I just need to print myself a copy, and figure out what it is that is bugging me so emmensely (there's just something that I can't stand about the first two chapters) there is also some loose ends that I left untied, nd some character development that justifies my kindness to a character, and makes the story make more sense to the reader. But I hope to have a nicely bound copy on my bookshelf by my birthday (that is a plan I am working for)


Life is good. I got a decent GPA last trimester, and I have quite a few classes that i'm excited to start tomorrow.

I just want to say thanks to a few people, I'll just mention their names.

Mom, Yaz, Nicie, Annie, Mrs. Atkinson, Megan, Brooke, Kim, Michie, Chel, Cory, Stu, Remi.... that should cover it for now. Thanks to all who are there for me, whether i mentioned your name or not. You are a great blessing in my life.
