LONG UPDATE!

it's been a long time... i know. SORRY!! well, there's been a lot of stuff going on, and well i've frankly been busy! School... wow that was a long time ago. So i had exempt my final for English, and emily had exempted her 4th period final too, so we went and got lunch at Potato Shack, and then went to the park to eat it.... and of course swing on the swings... so much fun! Well, a few weeks before school ended, we recieved an invitation to my cousin, Taylor's graduation. So, i asked my mom if we were gonna go, but there's one catch... he lives in Indiana. So, naturally i'm always up for a roadtrip... just not necessarily with my grandmother (i love her and all, but it's just not the most fun thing to do). So, my mom talked to my aunt mellie and my grandmother, Moomaw, and asked them if they would like to go as well, and we all decided that it would be great to go and surprise our cousin Trina (taylor's mom). My mom had one think holding her back... I got out of school the day before the graduation, and it was going to take us 2 days to get there by car. So, being the problem solver i am, i told her that i would just exempt the finals on that day(french and chemistry). Well, ends up that i didn't even have to take the final for Chemistry, bc i was commended on my TAKS test in Science. So i only had to take a 20 question multiple choise test, that monday, and then just exempted French, bc i had the grade to. So, we left then for Indiana on that thursday, and arrived in Mephis, Tennessee that night. My mom, being the weirdo she is, decided that we would all drive by Elvis' Graceland... so not impressive at night (except for the multi-colored lights on every tree in the front yard... very classy... NOT!!!) So yeah, Mellie rolled down the window and started singing Love me Tender... Hilarious lol. And we got to cross this extremely beautiful bridge to get on the other side of the Mississippi River. It was all lit up. So pretty! so yeah, the next day we went all the way to Indiana, and found our hotel, got dressed, called Trina, and told her where we were. She completely freaked out and didn't believe us, but when we met her up at the school for graduation, she nearly wet her pants she was so excited. Taylor was really amazed that we would drive all that way just to surprise them. It was fun! Plus, it turned out that Audrey was graduating from 7th grade that night too, so we got to see her as well. Audrey is Taylor's sister. But yeah, it was so fun. When we got back, i spent a lot of time just hangin out with my bud Jacob! he left for camp though the same day i started summer school and stuff. So i was invited to be a part of the BHS Scholar Academy. The standard that u had to meet as that ur PSAT score was high enough where if boosted a few points, you could be a National Merit Scholar. I scored a like 167 or sumthing like that, and to be a NMS in Tx, u have to score like a 214 or something like that. Well, as of now i feel like the stupidest one in the class. Seriously, my score has decreased by like 30 points! it's horrible! anyway, i'm basically just trying to make it through to learn a little bit more about how it works so that i can do well on the SAT. So, yeah, the suffering continues. I started this class (BHS Scholar Academy) in June 5, the same day i started summer school for Health. I was just trying to get ahead so that i wouldn't have to take it my senior year (technically i have enough credits right now to be considered a Senior, but i'm not going to graduate early, bc i havn't taken enough of the core classes). So yeah, i'm only 4 classes away from graduating early, but i don't want to. Anyway, i'm just rambling now... hmm... oo ok so i finished health last thursday (June 8), so now i'm just waiting 'til the second session starts next monday so that i can take Speech and get that out of the way. Next summer i'll probably take like government or something... not sure yet. Well... then on Friday i went to Dallas to visit my favorite person ever... JAY!!!! :) he was in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (which is probably one of my new favorite musicals... bc it's great!) It was AWESOME! The guy that played Joseph, Eric, had an amazing voice (and an amazing technicolor dreamcoat! ha ha). it was awesome! seriously! So yeah... anytime u have to opportunity to see it... it's a definent suggestion on my part! So, this week i get to see Jay AGAIN! we're going up to Dallas for my daddy's anaguration thing, which is a huge deal, and Jay's coming to celebrate with us (and help by being a bartender-ish guy w/ dd lol, and i have to be a waitress-ish person). So yeah, it will be really fun, especially since one night we get to have a Casino Night!!! i love it bc u get fake money to gamble with! lol it's great. so yeah, i'll be there from wednesday to sunday. Then, i come back and start summer school for Speech, then Kurten VBS, the most fun week of the whole summer. Then after that, my mom and i were supposed to go to California, but i don't know what we're doing now. We were gonna go on like June 30 or sumthing, and come back on like July 5 or 6. So yeah, i don't know. Then we have Grace VBS, and then like a week off before i got to Washington DC for the Congressional Student Leadership Confrence. I get back from the August 6, and i'll be 17 then!! HOORAY FOR BIRTHDAYS!! lol Then i start school on the 16th. So yeah... insanely busy Suzy! lol So i'll try to update on all the stuff that's coming up, but it might take me awhile. Well, Thanks for reading this insanely long post lol... i'm sure it was really boring lol. So yeah, i'll post at ya later! :) .:*Suzy*:.
