Homework is driving me nuts! I have been trying so hard to stay kept up in classes and such but my lord those teachers sure know how to pile it on! Tonight I have to write a paper on Healthcare in the U.S., write a speech on raising the minimum wage by two dollars for a congress simulation in Government, write a story about a photo in French, study for two Math tests tomorrow, fill out two worksheets, interview a hybrid car dealer, and write and energy report for my Green Science class.
I know they say that teachers could care less about their students lives, and I don't necessarily agree with that. I do believe, however, that teachers don't take extra-curricular activities and other classes into consideration when assigning homework. I know that they are trying to teach us time-management, but there is a point where it becomes impossible. I dance most days from 4-9 p.m. I then have to come home, eat dinner, shower and get ready for bed. OH! Don't forget your homework though, Alyssa! I have barely slept these past few days, but I hope my grades are improving.
But it's not as though life sucks, and I'm sorry if all this complaining is annoying. Dance is incredible, hard but fun. And my friends are nothing but amazing. Taylor and I are doing well, and I can't help but see the beauty in every day. I am trying to live like a better person, a better Christian. And I am officially addicted to Desperate Housewives. I come home and watch the re-runs on Lifetime as I do my homework or check my email. :) Well I suppose I should get back to whatever homework I was doing last.
Much Love <3,
Alyssa

I've started seriously looking into colleges, may I just tell you that college is way more stress than any teenager should have to deal with. But I have to find the light in tough situations, if that makes sense. I have a healthy body, a loving boyfriend, my family, my friends, I have dance, and my faith.
I know it's been an extremely long time since posting anything on here, but I've been busy living my life and honestly completely forgot about my blog. Though I doubt anyone will ever read this, I find it comforting to post blogs. I've recently discovered this awesome website called zinch.com! It's all about colleges, scholarships and such. Their line is "I am more than a test score", basically you create a profile and colleges can check you out. It's pretty cool.
