New and Improved

CLA Camp ended on Sunday! It has taken me a full 2 days to recuperate from the whole experience. It was the best 3 days of my life! I have seriously changed the way I think, live, and see the world. On top of the wonderful lessons I learned, I truly feel like a better leader than ever before, and I'm really excited to put my new knowledge to test during Band Camp :) I have already used some of it during the sectionals that we have had and it's paying off :)

So due to my 3 day life altering camp, I haven't been able to take a full on SAT test in the past week. So, it's back to the books for me! But my oh my! This week is so busy! I have a leadership meeting tomorrow, sectionals on Thursday, and my Best Friends Birthday Party on Friday!!! Life is speeding along, now I've just got to catch up to it :) ♥♥♥

Camp

I am so excited for this weekend! I am going to be away at California Leadership Academy with all of my fellow Marching Band leaders :) I have heard that it is a lot of fun and that you learn a bunch about how to be a great leader! I am super excited! Can't wait! ♥♥♥

1 SAT Book Down!

So I decided that I should probably read through the chapters of my new SAT study books so that I can gain as much advice and knowledge as possible. Before, I was just going through 2 practice tests a week and not taking into consideration the fact that there is a lot more to studying for the SAT than just knowing the test layout like the back of your hand. This weekend I started to skim through the chapters of one of the books, and I was thoroughly shocked at the amount of information that it contains! I have been reading 1 chapter a day since Sunday, but today I decided that I was going to finish the whole book (Power read!). So I sat on my bed with classical music on my iPod (studies show that you learn more with classical music..it really helps actually), and I studied my book from 11.00am to 3.30pm :) Tomorrow morning I am going to take an SAT practice test to see how much I have truly learned; I'm so excited!!!

The book that I finished reading is Kaplan's SAT Premier Live Online 2010 Edition. I highly suggest it!!!  :) I can't wait to move on to my next book! ♥♥♥

New Study Books!!!

So, as you know I'm using this Summer to study for the biggest tests of my life as of right now: SAT and ACT. I've been on a great streak lately in terms of studying, and to make it even better a good friend of mine generously gave me all of his previous study books (he is now a Senior and done with his tests). I'm soo excited to delve into the informative depths of these books! ♥♥♥

Long Time, No Blog

Wow, it's been a long time since I last blogged!!! I've actually been amazingly busy, but it's been really fun. I officially finished all of my projects as of Sunday night, Yippee! I have also taken a lot of pictures within the past week which means it's time for an update on my Photo Page! Exciting!!! :) Summer School is coming to a close, and I am surprisingly semi-sad about it. I know that sounds weird considering the fact that no one can imagine having fun with school in the summer, but the teacher is so much fun, and it helps that I have one of my close friends by my side in class :) Even though I will miss Summer School, I am excited because now I can finally begin my REAL Summer!!! For me that means volunteering and band :) 

On July 10th my Mum and I went to the 2010 Lilith Fair, a fair in celebration of women in music. It was so much fun! We were honestly not expecting it to be that great, but boy were we wrong! The musicians were so good! The last 2 performances were the highlight of the night: Miranda Lambert and Sarah Mclachlan! They both have exceptional talents and definitely know how to keep the audience entertained! My mum and I plan to go to the Lilith Fair ever year from here on out, our new Mother and Daughter Annual Tradition!

One more day of Summer School! Then it's relaxation time for about half of a week, and then volunteering starts :) Yay! As of now I  have been filling my days with hours upon hours of sewing. I have learned so much, and sewing has truly become one of my most beloved pastimes. On my Crafts Page I have posted updated pictures of my projects as well as the original inspiration for my projects so feel free to explore :) 

Hope you are have a perfectly perfect summer! ♥♥♥
