mood: jealous music: Noah's tv and Mindy's tv at the same time

Hey guys, 
   Sorry I haven't written in a REALLY long time. I've been really busy graduating, working, trying to get a job at a vet's office, and getting set up for college. 
    I've finally got it all figured out... I think. I'm going to my community college just down the road from the little town I live in. I'm going to take Vet tech classes and become just that, a vet tech. First I have to have 16 hrs. shadowing a vet and I have to be CPR certified. 
    I graduated from FD High and I have my beautiful diploma lol. The last 6 weeks of school were great. I got pretty good grades. The class I was struggling in the most I got the best grades in. I got an A on my exam... which was a debate... and I killed the other girl lol. Okay well actually I got the best grades in Guitar, but thats because it was easy because I know how to read music and I love playing the guitar. Mom finally started letting me drive to school a little past second semester started. The last two weeks of school I drove there every day. I drive every day now, and love it. My little white truck is perfect for me. 
    Oh and I'm 18 now!!! YAY!... not too much different but I like the new freedoms and trying to take care of myself.
 
    Okay well any ways. I gotta go, this isn't my computer... it's my boyfriend's (of 7 month) sisters... and HE wants to get on it... lol.
KK well update me, I'll try to check in a lil while. Talk to you guys later. Miss ya. Love ya. And how come Tara is the only one who emails me any more?????????????????????????????? *Cries bucketS of tears*!!!
   

mood: bouncy music: teenagers

Okay, I finally had that meeting with my new school's guidance counselor. Here are my classes:

1st semester: 
                 Intermediate Chorus III
                 Alg II/Trig Pt 1
                 English 12A (advanced)
                 Chemistry I
2nd semester:
                 Bio II-Adv Topics (human anatomy)
                 VA & US History 
                 Music Elective I (GUITAR LESSONS!!! YAY)
                 Alg II/Trig Pt 2

My school has a little over 900 students, it's the largest school in Virginia (my old school being the second largest), and it has 3, yes three, stories (and I have at least one class on each floor). I met my principal today, too. He saw my schedule and got very excited when he saw that I was in Chorus and told me that I should really try out for Honors Choir and do musical theater. When my gc told me I had one my elective to choose, I asked what all I could choose from and she pulled out a list of things (my old school only had Comp., the "baby and sewing class", PE (advanced for Juniors and Seniors because freshman and sophmore is mandatory), Chorus, Art, and Auto shop.) and started naming off things that I DIDN'T want any thing to do with, then she said guitar... and I said "I have a guitar but I can't play it!" so now I have that class... YAY! I have behind-the-wheel, then I'll get my license. I will be getting a parking pass and my very own parking spot for the entire year (my pick... senior privelages!). Now all I have to do is actually walk the halls and find my classes, which I will do tomorrow. 

So, any ways, I drove for about 5 hours today! I drove about an hour and a half last night. Today: Mom drove us to the school, I drove us to Grandma's, I drove us to the doctors, I drove us to the grocery store, I drove us back to Grandma's, I drove us home, Mom drove us to work (my work), Mom drove us to her work, I drove us back home! Yay! btw, this just wasn't driving a few miles this way, then turn around and drive a few miles this way. I'm talking about driving to Churchville, then to Mt. Crawford which is like 45 minutes away, then back to Churchville, to Harrisonburg another 45 minutes away, back to... to... back to... etc. I went from having an almost full tank of gas last night to empty right before we headed 45 minutes back home. It was so much fun! And I'll do it all again tomorrow! Oh and I drove in downtown Harrisonburg... which is REALLY busy! It would almost be like driving in Pittsburg, only Harrisonburg is smaller ( I think). I did stress a little then, but I did really well today.  No complaints from the passengers, only compliments. 

Well I'm really tired, so I'll ttyl!

mood: groggy music: Avril- When you're gone

Thursday: I had an appointment with a teacher to take a test for the school board in Waynesboro. I had to be at the library at 3:30. I had no clue why I was taking this test. All I knew was that I had to take it because I didn't have proof that I am on the same level as all the other seniors because I didn't turn my school work for this year in yet. Any ways, I was really nervous about taking this test because I didn't know what to expect, which left me with nothing to study either. When I got to the back room there was another girl taking a test (come to find out, there are more student that are in the same position as me). When she and the teacher left to go talk to her mother, I was asked to sit inside. I looked at the notebook that the girl before me was reading from. It scarred me at first because I was thinking "oh no, I'll be doing math and word problems with out paper!!" But I later found out that wasn't the case. The first part of the test was reading words. There was just a long list of words that I had to read out loud. She said "Now this list goes all the way up to College and adult level, so I don't expect you to get them all right."... I did. So then she asked me if I was good at reading, and of course I said yes. The rest of the test consisted of easy sentences that I had to finish or write, word problems, really easy math problems that were timed (3 min. to do 9-9= and 7x6=, etc), and some alg/trig questions (I didn't get all of them, though, because I didn't finish alg./trig. this year). The teacher told my mom that she was really impressed by me. I did great in reading and writing and I wouldn't give up in math. I quote her from her report:
"Aleshea's ability to apply academic skills is within the average range of others at her age level. her academic skills and fluency with academic tasks are both within the high average range. When compared to others at her age level, Aleshea's perfromance is superior in broad reading; high average in written language and written expression; and average in mathematics and math calculation."

Here are my levels:

Broad reading: 122-Superior            Broad Math: 96-Average            Broad written language: 114-(high) Above Average

Math Calculation Skills: 98-Average      Written Expression: 114-(high) Above Average (the teacher said that it could and should've been superior but I was too determined to make them perfect and I stressed over them).

Academic skills: 113-(high) Above Average    Academic Fluency: 116-(high) Above Average   Academic Apps: 102-(high) Above Average

Letter-word Identification: superior; Reading Fluency: superior; Calculation: average; Math Fluency: average; Spelling: (high) Above Average; Writing Fluency: (high) Above Average; Passage Comprehension: (high) Above Average; Applied Problems: Average; Writing Samples: very high (126 and the highest is 130) superior.

Friday: I woke up and my abscess was so big that I couldn't close my jaw all the way and I couldn't eat or hardly talk. So when Mom got home from work, she called the dentist, but his answering machine said that he wouldn't be open again until Monday and I couldn't wait that long or it was going to bust, which is really bad. So we called my doctor, but he's out with back surgery. So we went to Emergicare and they were jam packed but recommended that we call the hospital. But the hospital recommended that we call the oral surgeon across the street... where I got my wisdom teeth taken out. So we set up an appointment there for 2:30 that same day. Mom told me that I probably wouldn't need to get it cut open just yet, but I would get penicilin (sp?), but before we left she told me to change my shirt because I might get blood on it!!! I said "WHAT! why would I get blood on it?" lol. When we got there they xray'd it and took a look at it and said "okay, we are going to give you some laughing gas and then cut it open to get the puss out of it. I freaked. But they gave me the gas the entire time, they poked it (shot) and numbed it (they said then it already started rolling out ( the puss that is)). Then they finally cut it upen and got the stuff out of it. They perscribed me to penicilin and hydrocodine (I think that's how you spell them). So Mom's old boss that we bumped into probably thinks I'm retarded. The medicine kicked in as soon as he walked up to our table. He asked me what grade I'm in and it took me five minutes of staring at him to answer "I'm a senior, yea, a senior." lol! I slept all the way to Mom's partner's (the guy she works with) house. I don't rem. half of the night. I slept sitting straight up all the way back home at 12 at night. Mom said she tried waking me up a few times when we got home, but I wasn't budging. Then, I slept so well that night, when I woke up, my bed looked perfectly made with just the flap flipped over! I didn't move at all. 

Right now I'm falling asleep typing and I don't feel too great.... I just took my meds about an hour ago. I think I'll go lay down. ttyl

mood: amused music: love song- sarah barielles (or something like that)

me in an awesome store wearing huge butterfly sunglasses... it gets worse.

I am a bug...

Hahaha love 'em

these are the best, don't you think? lol

mood: busy music: i'm actually listening to a podcast but I have "all good things" in my head

Hey y'all, 
Alrighty, well I'm going to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, tomorrow early in the morning (not really it will hopefully be around 7 or 8). I'll be gone for a week. I gotta go now though, I have to make sure I've got everything packed.
 
(oh and I got to drive again today. I loved it!) 

Ttys! I'll take tons of pics. Much love,
Aleshea

more later... i gotta eat

mood: chipper music: nellie (sp?) furtado (again sp?)

k so last nite mom and i were trying to find a license plate for me. We were coming up with some really crazy stuff, mind you it was 10:30, which sounded ridiculous. i came up with a few today: crzyfg, bk up, tinklb, shrt y, riiite, yeaoky, misyew, imsyew, ihrtyu, dooode, gtchya, ulookd, and shnyny (if you have any questions about any, holla) but I want the one that suits me best... alshea. yup. maybe when I get the car I want in a few years I'll change it up. 
Now, I think that I either want the butterfly or the Virginia Tech design for my plates. idk... maybe I'll get the butterfly and then jus put a VT sticker some where. just a thought. and I'm wondering if i want to put my "stupid is as stupid does: bubba gump.." and pink tinkerbell sticker up, because I might want to save them for my car. but idk. I'm not sure about the tink sticker. that sticker is more important, i got it at disney world, but then again... i forgot... the bubba gump sticker is from cancun. well dagnabbit. we'll just have to see then won't we. maybe I'll put the bubba gump sticker on Jon's truck... (heh heh heh) 

nuff bout that, I go to the beach in 6 days! Yay! ahem... I have been formally invited to ride in the "girl car" on the way down to the beach... yea I know, you are probably thinking "what???", which is what I was thinking, also. The "girl car" is the car that the girls will be switching over to when we meet up for the ride together... k i don't think I'm making sense (or to myself n e way). The girls (Heather, Leslie, ... (I already forgot her name)..., and I, ... (and possibly my mom)... will switch over from our original vehicles to the vehicle of one of the girls and ride down to the beach. Ok. that made much more sense. I haven't decided if I will or not. 

Okay, well I have to go do Romans now. much love
*Alshea* ; )

Hey ya'll, 

How's it? purty good here, jus a lil busy and tiring. I have just one week until I go to Myrtle Beach (where, btw, I'll be doing more school work... lovely...) and about 3 more weeks before I have to have everything completed and grades turned in... and I still have 17 weeks of Bible and 17 weeks of Computer Applications. I am finished with everything else. It will be so nice, after August 1st, to finally have a 20 day summer vacation!!! And then I get more stress to look foward too because I'll be spending my senior year at a new school.... where I know no one. I'm getting nervous. 

So any way, Tuesday I'll be meeting my new best friend that I'll be spending a lot of time with... don't be jealous.. or maybe you should be... point is... I got a truck! Not the one I wanted and definitely not the color I wanted, but I really don't care. Mom and Jon told me they were going on a date. They called hours later and told me not to forget to call Nick (yesturday was his Bday) and told me they were all the way  in Lexington eating Dinner. When they finally got home around 10, I told Jon (mom was upstairs) that I was hittin' the sheets. But Jon said "no your not, sit down" and I was thinking "did I do something wrong.. I don't think so, but... hmmm"  SO they sat me down and said "we didn't really have a date date.  I mean we ate out, but that's not all we did." and then I started freaking out... I hate surprises. Then they said "we bought you a truck" and I knew it was the Nissan they were telling me about. Yup, I got it! It has an extended cab, good milage, its in great condition, has a bed liner and mat in the back, also has a tool box in the back... but it's white... oh well, I guess its not too bad. I'll have to see. I cannot complain though, I am very grateful. So they'll be bringing it home on Tuesday! Yay! Now all I have to do is get my license, which will be really soon. 

I'm cat sitting this weekend. I love this cat. He lives next door. He's been great.... and I think I kinda spoiled him (okay I know I did). We've had great times. lol! 

Well, I better get to work. ttyl
