Expect a big update as soon as I am done reading 100 or so pages of this already horrible novel.

Rick suggested I should.

I haven't updated in a while.

I woke up at 7:45 to get ready to do my "mock bus" run to Stony Brook. It was dreadful.
It took 1:30H's!! And I have to do this for a month and a couple of weeks :/. I got to see where my classes were, so that was cool
ANYWAYS. I'm going to skank my ass off at the Queue concert tonight.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky, and let me reassure you, it was one of the greatest novels I've ever read. I love to finish books in one sitting, but It's been a while since I've come across one that hasn't lost my attention by the third chapter. I definitely recommend it.

( Other books I plan on reading before this summer ends! )

I will be productive, and start my summer assignments early this summer since my courses at Stony Brook start on Monday. I'm really scared for that.

I'll read one of the books off my book list until my Nana comes home
then, I'll probably get ink for my printer, print some applications, and start my AP Chem at night, providing if I don't go out haha.

I saw Transformers, and it was just good. I garner a lot of people thought it was either really amazing, and the best movie they've ever seen or the worst. I take a neutral stance, it was just good, I've seen worse, and it was nowhere near my favorite. I just think Michael Bay makes really, obnoxiously loud movies, haha.

Tomorrow, I start printing all of my college applications. I'll post an updated list of that, I guess when I'm done printing them all.

P.S. UP! was probably one of the better movies I've seen in a loooonnng while.

Sooo, I decided as I lay in my bed, to tell you about all the incredible things that have been happening. tch.
It's July, and my summer is going great. I have a warranting book list, pool parties with friends, and supposed jogging with the best.
Too bad, I'll throw this all away when I start my courses at Stony Brook University D:

Being a vegetarian is difficult, but so rewarding.

My report card was pretty good, I was thoroughly satisfied to received a 92.86 for this death year! :)
I also got my AP scores. I got a 3 on English Lang, US History and Art History, and a 4 on Psychology. AP Scholar with Honor!
ANDANDAND I got a 720 on my Chem SAT II, and a 610 on US History. I am proud.

I've pretty much been hanging out every night with the people from our prom bus. Made a lot of new friends.

Yesterday, Rich and I played Wii for the 4th of July, Brawwwlllll and MariooooPartyyyy lolol
It was fun

Yeah, I guess I'll put an end to this pointless update.

I am sick AGAIN. : (
I'll make a separate post updating my week and whatnot.

I don't think I've ever cried this much in 4 hours.

Today is the crappiest day.
Yesterday was such a good day, I knew it was too good to be true
I got picked for a collegeboard photoshoot, I got into the two IB courses I wanted to get into,I got a 98 on my ALL-State NYSSMA solo
Other good things happened but I can't remember because this day was just SO sucky


For my summer pre-college, I haven't heard anything regarding financial aid
It is the nation's best boarding school, if I don't get financial aid I will cry, I want to go SOOO badly.
My tuition of 7500$ is due, June 7th. UGH.
I also found out my AP Psychology average is freakin' crappy.
Whatever, f*** this. freakin F*** THIS.

1. AP Literature and Composition 300 (Nelson)

2. Accelerated Physics 300 (Hanley)

3. Accelerated Physics 300/ GYM (Hanley)

I kind've wanted to take IB Math SL. and AP Physics, or AP Bio.

thoughts?

Well, Friday was pretty fun!
After school, I hung around with Asad, Amirah, Seerat, and Nazifa. It was pretty annoying after Amirah left,  because most of the remaning are freshman, and well...You know how that goes. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd put up pictures.

I went home arund 3:30, and practiced any remaining conflicts regarding my NYSSMA solo. After singing until my throat was slightly soar, I too a nap, got up an hour later, and got dressed for my performance.

The competition was at Bayport-Blupoint high school. It was really nice; there were SO many people there as well. My judication started at 7:20. I went in and started my solo, I was extremely nervous. Way more than I was last year. I thought I sang very well, and Mr. Bilella thought so too. But then, death came along, and I had to sight-read. I did good for the most part, until one part I messed up, but I ended back in the right key.  Hopefully my judge is leniant and loved my voice, enough to give me 100!

After NYSSMA, I went to Sam's Sweet Sixteen. It was pretty fun, even though I danced like a dummy for the whole five hours I was there. I was so tired, but so relieved when I got home.


Today, I stayed home. I woke up at about 12 X_X. I researched college stuff until about three.
Thus far, my application list is not complete, but nearing so. I went to Nazar, and got Iskendar Kabab. It was REALLY good. Gosh, Turkish cuisine is amazing.

I'm also proud to say that I've been VERY consistent with my Namaz. I'm very happy for that. Ana Uhibbu Allah أنا أحب الله.
Tonight, I plan on reading the first 100 pages of the Broken Cord, by Michael Dorris for my AP Psychology project.

NYSSMA TODAY. 715.

These past few days have been EXTREMELY busy.
Yesterday, I went to Central Islip's Concert Choir concert. It was good, as usual.
I got to see all of the people I missed, who graduated.

Today, was extremely stressful, but motivation has been present.
I felt really motivated to try and be more religious, like I was during Ramadan. I prayed my Isha prayer, and here I am.

I had loads and LOADS of homework, I'm not going to finish it all.
For example
Due on June 15th? My AP Psychology Final Research project is done. It entails me reading a book and relating various Psychological principles to the characters of the novel. I will be reading the Broken Cord, which is supposed to be one of the more compelling novels.

( Summer Plans :) )
Okay, back to my busy schedule.
On Monday, I have to teach my AP US class about the U.S as a Superpower, as my final marking grade. I also have to search for ten regents questions to go along with my presentation.

I have to also do research on an artist of my choosing as my final project for AP Art. I don't know who I want to do. I'm trying to find and Islamic Artist or Architect, if I don't, I'll just do Rothko.

I  have to study INTENSELY for my Math and Chemistry regents.

And now I just remembered I have to do a DUMB book discussion for AP Lang. Really, we have 13 days of school left.  LEAVE ME ALONE HOCHMAN! AND I have to finish the second part of my math test. SHOOT ME.

Tomorrow, I have my NYSSMA solo. It's my second shot at All-State, I hope I get in. Afterwards, Aly and I are going to go to Sam's Sweet Sixteen. SO MUCH TO DO, SO LITTLE TIME.

I've never felt this careless about religion. Rick is the only one who knows.

My memorial-day-weekend, is going just amazing. Finally, I get a break from worrying about school.

( Memorial Day Weekend )

So, for the 90th time, I'm restarting my LiveJournal.
I really want to keep it this time, so I hope I remember to update and whatnot.
