AP Microecon final in seven hours,
And a take-home bio exam due, too.”
:’D
I barely woke up to do my homework a few minutes ago; my mom tried to wake me up earlier, but she had a documentary about volcanoes on and so I sleepily replied to her that I was getting the answers to my bio test through osmosis. “Like Freud…...

I was so desperate. Pulled from the deep recesses of my mind and still could only answer 85% of the questions… some of which was only partially done. I did (some) of the extra credit, and I need to get an 86% to maintain my “A” in the class, but… I don’t think the odds are in my favor.

I practiced driving with my dad today (instead of help my mom clean). I can now do u-turns, sharp turns, and basically all turns in general without giving dad (and myself) a heart attack AND without pissing off the drivers behind me because I went so slow they’re now caught with a red light.
Yay I’m so proud of me.

With one sister married, one sister vacationing in the Philippines, and my dad at work, it’s just my mom and I in the house tonight. It’s pleasantly empty and yet disturbingly quiet.
Time to sing Albert Hammond’s “Eres Toda Una Mujer” to myself.

I finally finished my valedictorian speech. I read it to my principal and senior adviser, and they said that for any other student, it would be an “A” speech, but a “B-” on the Sarah scale.
