Hello Summer!

Junior year is over! I can’t believe how quickly it actually came - it seems as if just yesterday the school was starting and I was meeting all my teachers. Now, I get to officially call myself a senior, an upperclassmen - holy crap, that’s too terrifying to think about. Today, I had my last of only two finals. The only two classes in which I was worried about my grade were math and physics. This year, my coursework really was abit wild. Luckily, I was able to plan out my scedule fr next year ad the way it’s arranged right now, I shouldn’t be too stressed out next year ;) I’m happy to say that I scraped by with all A’s once agin this year and my streak of all A’s in high school was not broken! In physics Thursday, I summoned my alter-ego Lusi 2.0 who kicks but in science/math skills and I managed a 95% on the final leaving me with a 96% total in the class! Woo! In math however, I was not so lucky, BUT, with everything in the grade book, I still managed a 91.61% in the class which technically rounds up to a 92% A! The streak lives on!

To continue celebrating, mom picked me to engage in our favorite pastime and go window shopping. With coffee picked up, we were caffeine-ed up just the right amount to spend a couple mindless hours just walking around, talking, and trying things on.I can say without a doubt that mom is my best friend and the easiest person to spend time with. We hit up all the classics - the Gap, Anthropologie, the mall, and of course, Whole Foods. The last was by far my favorite of them all! ;)  Nothing bought, but a good time spent.

To continue celebrating, we decided to hit up a restaurant for dinner and we finally settled on a little Japanese and French bistro over by our house. Its the perfect size and since not many people know about it, it’s always quiet and relaxing. Plus, it helped that we had a coupon ;) The ambiance in that place is killer and you will not be able to find it in any other restaurant! The rotating sushi conveyor also helps contribute to the cool factor. We started off with Edamame and Plum and Squid Rolls…we were trying to be adventurous, not the best idea we had today. Then, we ordered the “Tendon”, which stood fro a rice bowl featuring egg and shrimp and vegetable tempura. Pictures to come in a separate post! An awesome night made even more awesome by the fact that I drove to-and-back from the restaurant! I’m getting better at this adult-ing thing everyday, eh?

On a side note: I received my session information from Governor’s Scholar’s Program today! I will be heading out to Morehead State on June 16th and will be staying fro 5 weeks. I was placed in the focus area of Journalism and Mass Media. I’m not entirely ecstatic about that considering I had my heart set on attending the Creative Writing and  Literary Studies session and also because in August, I will be going to Berkeley for exactly a Journalism and Mass Media 2 week college camp. Perhaps I will be able to switch sessions, at least hopefully because I truly would be more interested in the other discipline. But, if not, I will still have an amazing time and regardless of what happens, I am incredibly grateful for being selected as a GSP scholar!

This summer will be filled with amazing experiences, I can already tell! Plus, there’s a bright, full moon outside right now - that’s got to count for some good luck, right?!
