Haha... YES! Remember when I thought I had turned in the worst essay possible? Well, apparently my professor didn't think so. I got an A+!!!! My paper got a whole 100 points out of a possible 100! She even asked if she could use my paper as an example for future classes. I think I should just drop out of Cal and go to some JC... my grades could be sky high... unlike the crap grades I get up at Berkeley.

Gabs and I had quite the conversation last night. We both came to some pretty deep realizations and then opened each other's eyes to some big milestones that we're bound to hit within these next couple of years. She shared with me how my very smart and intelligent speech coach, Tony told her that rules change with adult relationships. Ahhh... relationships, don't even get me started. I always feel like I'm wishing upon someone else's star. Anyway, onto my epiphany... I realized that I'm in my last year of being a teenager. Once I turn 20, that's it, I'm no longer considered a "teenager." A won't be able to do "teenager-like" things and still get away with it. This raises the problem that I never really did any bad "teenager-like" things in the first place! I'm a fun girl, but I guess my fun is totally different from most people. Speech tournaments, going to Jerry's basketball games, competing at band reviews; that was fun for me. Not that I'm anticipating on changing my definition of fun anytime soon or anything, I'm just realizing that I should be living my life to the fullest each day, doing the things that I consider fun before it all runs out on me. I'm only a teenager once, I might as well enjoy it, instead of trying to live like a 40-year old trapped inside a body of a 19-year old girl.
