The Finale

I suppose there are many topics I could talk about in my last post: grades, finals, college, summer plans (academic of course), and senior year. 
 
Only an hour ago I returned from Los Angeles where I celebrated my sister's college graduation from USC. Being there for her accomplishment in turn made me reflect upon my junior year. At the moment my grades are unsatisfactory, but in these final weeks I plan to work that much harder to bring them up (better late than never). I also must begin to prepare for my first SAT while simultaneously studying for finals. I hope to bring my grades up high enough where my finals have little negative affect on my grades. And even after that last exam on June 6th my school year doesn't end. I have the pleasure of AP Lit homework and college applications. Although I currently have no idea how to complete either of those tasks I know that once they are complete there  will be a huge sigh of relief. I also hope to visit more universities over the summer to gain a better knowledge of where to apply and what type of college I want to attend. Currently I hope to visit Sand Diego State and Loyola Marrymount, possibly Azusa Pacific. Thus far my high school career has been a great balancing act of social and academic and I only see this task becoming more difficult. I hope that this summer and senior year will be one of productivity and hard work coupled with indulgence and relaxation. 

To all my fellow AP Langstas, good luck and best wishes!

  1. A graduation from USC?? That's awesome! I'm happy to hear that you have plans to work hard, Gigi. You have an infinite amount of potential. As for the SAT, don't stress too much. The more you stress out about it, the more overwhelming it will become. I'm happy to hear you're taking AP Lit, I'll see you in there next year!

  2. I heard from Mr. Pierson that San Diego State has a beautiful campus! That's really far away from home though so I don't think I'll be applying there anytime soon. I've never heard of Marymount or Azusa Pacific either. Good luck with finals and that dreaded SAT. I'll see you in AP Lit next year! :)
