The Smell is in the Air...

So today as I was walking home from soccer practice, I smelled oatmeal cookies. I could just imagine the little darlings cooling on a cooling rack next to a window somewhere, and I wanted them! I wanted them so badly! I could smell the cinnamon, taste the vanilla, feel the joy as I bit into a little piece of heaven!!

(sorry if I am making you hungry)

So what did I do? I quickly did my homework and preceded to accumulate all the ingredients that were needed. But I was faced with a delema, I did not have enough oatmeal for a batch. The most essential ingredient!

The cans looked so empty....I was just about to give up when the most engenious plan came to mind; make a half-batch.

So with....

1 stick of butter

1/2 cup of firmly packed brown sugar

(I forgot the 1/4 cup granulated sugar)

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 and 1/4 cups of flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda (not powder! I almost made that mistake)

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

and of course 1.5 cups oatmeal

And it was a good thing that I did decide only to make a half-batch because there was only enough brown sugar for a 1/2 cup, and I almost couldn't find the cinnamon!

Good luck trying to bake when you have a craving!

I never found so much difficultly in baking cookies, as when I want them so badly!

More SATs stress

I took the SATs in May, and I did pretty well.
That was after taking an SAT course, but I didn't really study, since then I have already sent a couple colleges my scores....
now comes the option to take the SATs again
I feel like I would study more this time, but I don't really want to take it......
and I would be missing a soccer game. BUT my team is lacking girls this year, and I know one of my team mates is planning to take the SATs on the date I would be taking them.
If I were to sign up, I would have to pay a late fee...what if I didn't do better?
But what if I didn't get into the schools I want to get into?

See the probelm I'm in? And I have to make a decision in like the next 24/48 hours....

Please I need more advice

An upside down reciprocal

Beautiful sorrow
Wonderful pain
Hilarious suffering

Everything is nothingness
and there is always a never

Its craziness that makes sense
and chaos that is calm
Whenever you lose, you have already won

Pleasant madness
Unbearable happiness
Sickening healing

There will always be a never
And a life of not is just
Whenever you win, you are really losing the game

But when live has got you down
with its crazy rules and laws that don't make sense
When people are passive aggressive
and physics has made your jaw drop
Just look to the sky
and watch the clouds because you are under them
And that is where you belong




Enjoying her first week of her Senior year of High School
-Kathleen

The end is nigh

I will be a Senior this year, my last year of high school, only 180 days left!

It feels hard to describe beyond a sense of 'awe', I am always asking, "is it really true? or am I in a dream?"
Are 13 years really up? Am I all grown up?

13 years ago, as a kindergardener I never thought about middle school, or high school or even graduating! But now it is the only thing I am thinking about. In just a short while I will be walking into the local hockey arena turned graduation area with adreline pulsing through my veins and tears running down my face.

I remember as a Freshman all the Seniors told me that high school went very fast, that in the blink of an eye, you're a Senior and going to college. I didn't believe them. I thought to myself, no high school won't feel that way for me...impossible......

Well here I am with only 180 days left of school, I hope to make the best of them and to enjoy each and every one.

Homecoming, Soccer ending, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, Midterms, Valentine's Day, Track Starting, St. Patrick's Day, Lent, Easter, My Birthday, Track ending, Finals
