AP Review, Bottled Up Excitement, A Sense of Worry, and Earth Day.

The title says it all. There really isn’t that much exciting news (especially since I won’t tell you what I’m excited about). The day went by as usual. However, I was falling asleep in classes and I lost my favorite ballpoint pen. I’m so mad. I think I left it in computers which means I’m never going to see it again. This is ridiculous. Then after school, we had AP European History Test review for the AP test on May 8. Me and Megan had a lot of fun with that. We were making up connections for famous people of different times. Eventually we just started to make up fake connections; some of them were really bad like “they all killed themselves” or “they all have ‘in’ at the end of their names.” But it was pretty fun. I was surprised that I knew so much about the people on there.
Then I came home, I have the most boring life ever, and played solitaire for about an hour and half. (I was not kidding about that boring life.) After that, I had to watch Entertainment Tonight and I am so excited for tomorrow. However, I will not tell you why. There could be multiple reasons why I’m excited. I’m not even going to tell you tomorrow. I know that sounds mean, but that’s the way I’m going to be. My excitement is staying bottled up at least until this summer. Maybe by then my excitement will have died down. I certainly hope so.
Then my sense of worry hit me while I was showering today. We have guard try-outs next week and I am scared. I get nervous when it comes to try-outs, I’m not going to lie. But that’s not what I’m worried about. I’m worried about how guard is going to be when Katelyn isn’t there everyday. She is the reason I joined guard, plus that fact that my sister had done it at Brooklyn. Freshman year was mine and Katelyn’s year. We decided we would be captians together when it was our time to shine. It’s our time and she’s not going to be back. I was getting ready to try and take on responsibility for captian, but I don’t think I can do it without her. It was our dream; I don’t want it if we’re not in it together. Aside from that, I don’t think I would have been able to write my own routine in time. I would have gone crazy trying to figure out the counts of one song and how fast it was going; I can’t do that.
And then today was Earth Day. The only reason I’m saying something about it is because of the way that I’ve changed in just ONE year. On this day last year, I didn’t care very much about the earth. I’ve always believed that we have to save the trees because we need them to breathe, but I never really got into saving the planet. Now, I want to save the world. I want to help stop global warming, save the trees, and keep the animals from becoming extinct. I use eco-friendly type of paper. I get it from Staple’s and it’s not made from trees. Instead, it’s made from sugar-cane plants (no it’s not edible; I’ve checked). Dad has changed all the lights in the house to the energy saver bulbs, that’s helping too. I want to help save the world. One day, if I have the money, I will be driving a Hybrid car. I believe that is the best thing anyone could do to help the enviroment. Maybe it’s because Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz and many more actors are helping with the cause, but they’re inspiring people like me. I’m probably not going to give up my showers (that would be pretty gross), but I’m going to continue to find ways to help the world. Even if it makes me a tree hugger, at this point I don’t care. I want to do it. So think about that, maybe in a year you’ll be trying to make a difference too.
So that was Earth Day 2009. Keep on reading and remember: I’m Jackie and I don’t know crap.
