Just a quick personal post here.
So I graduated. Now I am currently taking 2 college classes. So much for a fun summer.
My classes are nice though.

Ryan is having a lot of trouble right now.
He finally got a job and I managed to get him enrolled at the school I am taking classes at. He is very happy about going to school :)
He hates his job. He was going to move out with our friend Kaitlyn but some bad things came up. Kaitlyn's mom is getting a divorce and is currently staying with her. Her mom will not let Ryan even move his stuff into Kaitlyn's house, let alone have him stay there. She hasn't even met him, but she thinks that he will steal her stuff. I have never met her mom and when we go to her house her mom is never there and she doesn't even have her stuff there. I think this is all ridiculous.
On top of all of this, Ryan has until Monday to move out.
On the brighter side, I finally updated the shop. I added a bunch of stuff and there are still some things that I haven't listed, like pillows and more burners. I HATE listing things. It just takes so much time!
If you have some extra time, you should go look :)

Graduation is next Saturday.
I passed all of my finals and classes.
Aide - Pass
Photography II - A; and I am certified in Adobe Photoshop CS3
Ceramics I - A
Trigonometry/Precalculus - B
American Government - A
Science fiction/Fantasy (English) - A
I am graduating in the top third of my class. I am actually the cutoff of that top third.
I am graduating with 27 credits. Credits needed to graduate: 22.5; I am getting the advanced diploma for that. Requirements for the advanced diploma: 24.

I am registered for summer classes at Western Nevada College. I will be transferring from there with 9 credits under my belt. I am registered for fall classes at the University of Nevada, Reno. I am moving to the dorms in Reno alone. Ryan cannot come with me to Reno. We will be a 45 minute drive apart and we don't have cars or licenses.

I was at UNR today and we had a speaker talking about studying abroad.
I really want to.

Any ideas of where I should go?
Availible countries:
Australia, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Ghana, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malta, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, and Thailand

I love my sewing machine.
I really do.
(even though it has made me cry. twice).
Anywho, my dad took me shopping yesterday and we spent $46 on fabric and sewing supplies.
So far, I have made two little zipper pouches. My mom was impressed. She said it is hard to put zippers in. I will list them next month. You will like them. I made a kitty cat one and an owl one. I still have two other kinds of fabric, but I only bought 3 zippers, so you do the math on that.

Also, Ryan and I went house shopping again.
We bought a knife set (with wooden block), teaspoons, metal measuring cups, a wisk (it's green!), 5 cups, corn on the cob holder things, a bamboo cutting board, some cookin utensils, and some mixing bowls.
I love grocery outlet. I want to marry them.

By the way, I am having a sale. You name the price and the best offer wins :)
I haven't had any offers yet, so whoever asks first will probably get whatever they want.
The offers have to be reasonable though.

Oh! My friend Lindsey is having a sale too! I absolutely LOVE her shop! She has so many nice things! (Pretty good prices too!)
She just had her 101st sale (congrats!)
Anyway, her sale is free shipping to everywhere thru December 31st.
She's a 22 year old art student. She is currently attending OCAD (in Canada, not Oregon).
Here's her shop thingy:

Etsy Buy Handmade memorycollector

She is a really nice person! She inspired me to start up a shop back in February.

Anyway, that's all for now!

So, a lot has been going on.
I passed all of my finals and I have A's in my US Gov't, Sci-fi, Ceramics, Photography, and TA classes (I got received a B in trig/pre-calc).
As you know I have been accepted to the University of Nevada-Reno!
However, my shot record was not kept properly at the cheap doctors office I used to go to, so they never recorded that I got a Tetnas shot back in 2005, so I have to get another one before I start school again in the Fall.
I decided that I am going to major in History. I have no clue what kind of job I'll be getting with that, but I'm used to being a poor kid so it will work out.
Ryan and I started buying stuff now that we know we are definately moving to Reno in the summer.
So far we have:
a toothbrush holder (I made it in ceramics).
plates and mugs
a measuring cup
a 2010 kitten calendar
silverware (it's really nice)
paper towel holder
15 dish rags
a desk
3 pots
1 skillet
lamps (my mom said she would give me the two she doesn't like).
and a Hello Kitty toaster that my mommy bought for me for Christmas.
We have other things too (like tv's and computers and stuff) but I need some more stuff.
My mom also said that she would give me $500 when she does her taxes. :)

My friend Anthony is moving back from Washington so he can move in with us when Ryan and I move to Reno. I have a great plan too. I will "live" at the dorms and at home with Anthony and Ryan. I will have some stuff at UNR and pay for living there so I can get the dorm perks like free internet and a meal plan and I will have everything else at the apartment. It is a grand plan.

Anyway, I'm really excited. I talked my mom into getting me a cat for my graduation present. She is helping me find a home for the guinea pigs (they are going to a nice gay couple. One of them works at the pet store too!)

Oh, about the shop, I really want a lot of my inventory gone ASAP. It's not that I want to close it down, it's just that with so much going on it would be easier to not have to worry about getting packages out right away like I usually do. So if you want anything from my shop, just email me (xohellogoodbyexo[at]gmail.com) or comment me and we can work something out. I usually go for any type of trade and I do bargins.
I also listed some prints in a new section. Ryan has been getting a lot better at painting. They look incredible. I'm currently talking him into taking a another trip to kinkos to make prints to sell.

Anyway, I have to start cleaning the house. By the end of Christmas vacation I will make sure to post at least one picture of my room.
Hectic life = too busy for everything.

Maybe after I clean I will play video games.
That sounds really nice :)

Ryan got new glasses by the way....

I GOT ACCEPTED TO UNR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Help me!

Hey guys!
I need EVERYONE to help me with this!
I NEED scholarships.
One way I can get a scholarship is if I get a TON of votes on this.

It's this thing where people show off their best facial features.
You can vote everyday, once a day.
I need to be in the top 200 people in order to qualify.
Right now, I'm on the very bottom.

PLEASE help me guys!
I will be so happy!!!

SATs

Why are they so hard?!
I just retook them today.

I took them back in January and I sucked.
I got a 1490 out of 2400.
(If that was a percentage, I calculated it to 63%).

I know what I did wrong. I didn't read any of the stories and I just thought I could wing it because USUALLY I'm really good at standardized tests.

I was wrong.

This time I studied.
I wrote my essay in cursive.
I read all the stories.
I tried really hard.

I feel like I'm lucky if I even got a 1300.
I feel like crap.
I WANT to get at least 1650.
That would be great.

The thing is, I sucked when I took my PSATs too.
I thought that was just because I broke my nose the day before.
Maybe the SATs are just really hard.

Well, next month I'm taking my ACTs.
Which, even though I haven't taken the actual test, I think it's easier than the SATs.
I took the "PLAN" back in 10th grade (which is equal to the PSATs in the ACT world) and I scored a 27 out of 36.

I hope I do REALLY good on that test.
I hope UNR accepts my application.
I hope my transcripts are okay.

UNR said they will accept any Nevada student who graduates with an advanced diploma.
(Which I am getting).
But they said that I need 3 years of natural science and I only took two.
Does that even out?

I need help.
