Cue happy dance!

Hey, hey you. Remember how I told you guys that I recently had the opportunity and was eligible for the National Honors Society. Well, if you don't that's fine. I'll wait while you read that post.

Well, the induction happened on September 26th. And guess who was there? ME.

Yup, that's right was accepted into the National Honors Society (NHS).

Cue Happy dance. 



People were talking about how it was such a give-me but I worked hard even when people slacked off. This opportunity it was presented as a give-me but I worked to be given the opportunity.

So in short, hush to my fellow classmates that don't think this is a big deal. 

The induction was short and simple. It was fun. I got to eat some chocolate cake and chatted with friends. 

So the countdown to get volunteer hours starts now. I have to have 15 hours of volunteer hours before the semester's end. I applied to volunteer at my local libraries and I should hear some  news about how that's going very soon (early next week). Fingers crossed that I get enough credible hours by mid-December.

 See you very soon. It's fall break so I'll be blogging twice as much.

Chaos of the First Day of School

I went back to school toady. I can't really tell you much I wasn't ready to go back to school. Every year I have an excuse to not want to go back. The main reason this year was that I had to go back to school earlier than I did last year. Last year, the main reason I didn't want to go back to school was that I was becoming a freshmen and didn't know much about being a high-schooler. I was fresh meat not a freshman.

It is always a reason and probably always will be a reason.

This year I got some tough teachers from what I hear and what my impression from them. I know for a fact that a lot teachers come off tough but they are really nice. This one teacher when he shut the door just started laughing. It was a very creepy laugh too. He was laughing because someone had their phone out trying to "secretly" text. He kind of reminded me of Mr. Crocker from Fairly Odd Parents minus the hunched back and obsession with fairies. The tall skinny legs. The glasses. The haircut. The laugh. The impossible class to ace unless you're AJ which was the guy sitting in the chair by the corner. He stole all the awards last year and left me with zip. 

I also have this other teacher that wants the impossible and strangest things for her class. Why do we need post-it notes and graph paper composition notebook? I'm in Chemistry not math class. Someone please explain. 

Also for some apparent reason these upperclassmen are so superior. I just want to knock  them down a level since I have a ton of classes with all grades. I hope I don't come off as a jerk like other people do to the freshmen. 

A lot of people had their schedules screwed. People had three different 5th periods. How does the school miss that?

Bottom line is the first day of school is chaos. This post is chaos and I'm tired of talking about school for now. Bye. 
True...

Sunny's Questions:
1. If you could recommend one spectacular, life changing book, what would it be? (For my reading list muahaha)
I would recommend any of Amanda Hocking's book. She is pure awesomeness.
2. If you could transport yourself into one fictional world or situation, what would it be?
I would transport to Amy Plum's Die for Me. The characters live in this awesome mansion in France. Sounds pretty awesome. 
3. What would you like to happen to you when you die?
Hopefully, I would get to go the majesty Heaven and hang out with people that love.
4. What Hogwarts house would you be in? - Don't stereotype Hufflepuffs, please.
I know I 'm going to get a lot of raft for this but I'm not that big of a Harry Potter fan. Honestly, I haven't picked up the book or seen the movies. (Don't hurt me). Anyway, I been doing some research and even taking like five test. They all say the same thing. I guess that means I'm a Ravenclaw. 
5. What is your major pet peeve?

Yeah, I had a dream where I could see all these germs. It was sheer terror.

I really want to be a published author. So bad. To have my book be in multiple stores and for people to actually read it. 
9. What is the most attractive thing you find in a person?
They have to be gentleman. No annoying jerks allowed. 
10. If you could give everyone in the world one thing (each) as a present to us all, what would you give?
I would try to give everyone happiness. If everyone could be happy we could unite as a world and help each other with other major issues. As cliche as it sounds a smile goes a long way. 
11. If you could meet one fictional character, who would it be?
I would totally want to meet Amanda Hocking's Wendy. She is strong and lives in this big fancy house. She has awesome friends. And with her around you are always safe. I want to say more but it would give away serious details of the series.
