Procrastination Destination

Right now I am doing the dreaded Cornell notes for history, but I keep trying to find a way out of it. Before I sat down at the computer I promised myself that I would get close to all my history homework done so I could have tomorrow to do my physics and study for my math test on Monday which I am determined to get above 90% on. The last couple math tests haven't gone so well, mostly because I know the stuff, I just forget it by the time he issues a test on it. Thinking it's an easy piece of cake, I don't study and then don't do as well as I would want. This time is going to be different though, I'm getting a 90 or above, mind you!

Yes, this is my life - studying and doing homework on a lovely Friday night instead of hanging out with my friends and laughing until we start to cry (which is my favorite emotion by the way). I should be having a girls night out, or a movie night, or a Friends marathon with my besties, but oh no - Cornell notes! Yay...not. Hopefully I can at least convince my parents to go to a dollar movie tonight or something, granted I get my history homework done first. Boo.

Workaholic?

It's the end of term, and semester so - stress much? Not as much as usual, but there's still plenty to go around. Mostly it's about all the work that I have to do, and how little time I have to do it this week. Today it was physics, and I wanted to go shopping for my mouse trap car that I have to make (for physics, and I was going to write my extra credit essay for English today to make my barely A, just an A.

Tomorrow I have an extra credit movie for history, algebra, computer class, and stake temple night. Also tomorrow I have to start building my mouse trap car out of scratch...yay. On Wednesday I have physics after the end of my first semester A days and my computer class (real yay!).

Wednesday is physics, and English reading and a worksheet. That doesn't seem like much, but physics is hard and I have a test coming up in that class so I'm really trying to understand what I'm doing, but it's just difficult!

Thursday (and over the weekend) I have the mouse trap car that I need to do, algebra, study for the physics test that will be on Tuesday, do a set of Cornell Notes for history, go to a CPR seminar thing at the church on Saturday along with a possible movie with my friends (I want to see Bride Wars, it looks hilarious to me), wake up and go to church on Sunday (now at nine in the morning, psh!), and on Monday go having KFC with the familia and go to a movie afterwords with my cousin Benji, who is really like my big brother. I don't know what movie he wants to see though...I'm thinking a comedy or an action-y type film? Any suggestions?

Testing

My physics teacher says that a test isn't a test at all, instead it's an opportunity to show him how much we've learned. Well this is an opportunity all right. What is it? Going three months without soda. Easy for some to do, but not for Rachel Anna Johnson. I just had my last glass of Dr. Pepper about an hour ago, but my dad still has a whole 2-liter outside, all cold and refreshing. It's gonna be so hard to remember not to pour myself a glass when my dad has it in the fridge.

However, I'm doing this for the greater cause. Diane and I are going to get through this together, not matter how grumpy, mean, or caffeine deprived that we get. Diane; I know that we can do this, now let's show everyone else that we can!


NOTES:
Why I'm doing this: Personal Progress Value Project consisting of giving up soda (in mine and Diane's case), getting your full 64 oz. of water EVERY day, eating AT LEAST one fruit and vegetable each day, learning to cook healthy foods, and developing a regular exercise program. Snap!
Diane is: My Young Woman's leader who is as obsessed with soda as I am, that's why we have to quit it together. We can do this!

Two Week Resolution

Only a two week resolution, not one of these new years things...I stole the idea from my friend Adriana.

LEARN TO JUGGLE

How awesome is that? Seriously!
