Visions of Johanna- Bob Dylan
so our IB scores came out
AND
I GOT MY FREAKING IB DIPLOMA!!KNLKDNSKLNDKLNOWNK!N@KL!LNL!K@NL!N#J#@)IE)WIR+WO+RIW+RIWIR)
i honestly didn't think that that would happen. but after all the hours and hours of studying that i did for all my IB subjects, it finally paid off. For those of you who dont know what IB is, basically its like AP except instead of taking a test after one year you have to start the class your junior year so that you can take it your junior AND senior year. Then at the end of your senior year you take a million tests and then in early july you find out if you got college credit. In my personal opinion, ive taken both AP and IB and i think that IB is alot harder because instead of multiple choice which IB has on a very select few tests, IB centers on short answers and long essay responses. Which some people might think is easier but i think its a toss-up. I totally forgot my username and pin that i need to view my scores, so i had to email our schools IB coordinator and he has to email me back. BUT HE HASNT YET AND ITS DRIVING ME NUTS because i really want to see which tests i did really good on and which tests i did really bad on. Mainly the classses that i really wanted to focus on were Art and Bio. My first semester of my senior year i got a C because all i did was memorize because thats what i did junior year and i got and A. But the teacher for senior year bio was WWAYYYY harder and focused on learning the material and understanding. So i nearly killed myself my second semester to get 0.08 below a freaking A- i was so angry because i was SOOOO CLOSE. But yes and anyway in art i always worked really hard and tried my hardest to get the top score.
So anyway, do any of you guys like bob dylan. I absolutely love shelter from the storm but he has so many freaking songs that i dont even know what to start with, because im a bob dylan newbie. so if any of you have any suggestions as to what songs to listen to JUST HOLLA.
okay bye guys
happy sunday
love katie

slow it down...rest your arms rest your legs
so the weekend is coming to a close and i have to say i feel like ive been quite unproductive
okay everyone HAPPY SUNDAY NIGHT CYA
friday was filled with my friends getting her wisdom teeth out and me continually thinking about what stage of the appointment she was in and thanking god that that awful stuff was over for me. I also babysat for my neighbor for a pretty short period of a time. After that my cousin who lives in omaha was visiting with her son max and so we went over to my cousin katies. A whole bunch of my cousins then proceeded to go to chipolte where they were crazy busy and put tomatoes of my salad and i was quite sad because I HATE TOMATOES. its something about the texture. After that i proceeded to go with my cousin katie to her obgyn appointment. I watched of her 7 week old while she went into the appointment. One lady mistook me as a teen mom, and i thoroughly did NOT realize this until after she walked away and it was too late to refute her claim. Then at night it was off to see zooey deschanel and michael ward in their duet band thing called she and him. THEY WERE SOO GOOD. one song that i particularly liked that they sang that isint on any of their albums is called stars fell on alabama. Their voices are seriously magical.
Saturday was a lot of me sitting around watching lost in austen which is pretty stupid did a short 18 minute workout, washed and dried my hair (I NEVER DO THAT...to lazy), proceeded to put on lots of makeup and dark eyeliner which i also never do but i figured how many times do i go to freaking see IMAGINE DRAGONS.... they were awesome although they played less songs than i would have liked and it was BEYOND PACKED there were people EVERYWHERE. to get out of the festival grounds we were stuck in traffic for about 45 minutes which blew, but us girls got to chat and bond.
Today was filled with finishing lost in austen and then watching the real pride and prejudice which i absolutely love enough to have bought the actual dvd which i never do. and now im writing this post, listening to mumford and sons, and uploading paris photos.
i figured i would share some photos that i took while on my trip

You bought a star
HEYYYY GUYSS
Long time no chat. I know I'm a terrible blogger as far as I'm concerned. I will try to recap you with everything that has been going on in my life since then.
MAY
the dreaded time that was filled with IB Final tests and exams for school. Over 15 exams in the span of 2 weeks is NOT FUN. By may 18 my brain was fried and I was so done with studying. It was the last thing I wanted to do. By now all I can hope is that I got good scores!!! The end of may was consumed by graduation and my graduation parties and lots of goodbyes and promises to text and talk but then we never do. The day after I graduated I left for PARIS. yes PARIS. Is safe to say that I absolutely loved it but I would never ever want to live there. Too much smoking and I'm very much a suburban girl and I love cities but sometimes I get claustrophobic just looking at them. We saw Normandy sites and the Eiffel Tower and the love bridge and the Mona Lisa (very underwhelming) but other master artists too!!! The food was literally spectacular. There was only me incident where we went to a restaurant and I got sea risotto not knowing that when I got the plate it would have mini squid and shrimp in it. I had that overwhelming fish smell to it and I almost died. I'm not very adventurous when it comes to food and it was really breaking out for me when I first started eating salmon and cod. I much more prefer bland tasting fish BECAUSE ITS SAFE. but the food once again was just to die for, every day it was just so good and if we hadn't walked FOR HOURS on end each day I probably would have gained 50 pounds. We also saw versaille and walked along the seine and saw notre dame and some very beautiful parks. I got my long coveted red large longchamp because they are much cheaper there than here because its a Paris brand. The trip was even more magical because I went with my best friend of more than ten years now and our moms. So it was deftly a girl
trip to say the least . When we got back it was sad not to be in paris anymore but also good because I wanted to be home. My mother said she was pleasantly surprised and would definitely go there again....so that's good.
JUNE
lately I have been really busy and it's making the summer go by WAYYY to fast. My cousin just had a baby so I went over there a couple of times and I pretty much stay there till her hubby gets home and help her with the baby. So I will do things like hold him while he sleeps so that she can clean or cook or sleep. It would be absolutely awful is she didn't have cable and because my mom and pops DON'T have cable it's a treat for me to sit there and watch million dollar listing New York or E! All day. Plus summerfest is starting tonight so I'm seeing imagine dragons on Saturday and someone else but I don't know who yet next Tuesday. Plus I had my college preview day and it was nerve wracking and I met my roommate who seems normal but slightly hippieish. I have had to start constantly asking myself about what I really want to d per med or engineering next year because it will determine my future and its all just very scary that my future will be decided soon. I am in the all girls dorm even thought I wanted the cool coed dorm, but for some reason a bunch of girls who wanted the other dorm got the all girls one. Which I guess is a bit of a blessing in disguise because it has nice facilities bigger dorms better dining hall and newer furniture. But oh man has this month been crazy or what!!
Tomorow my best friend and I who I went to Paris with are going out to lunch to catch up because she works a lot so I don't get a whole ton of chances to see her which sucks but what chan ya do. I've been trying to get back on the workout train and it slow but steady I can't expect that I will just be able to get up and run four miles like I used to be able to but I guess I just have to be patient. But I'm going to Florida in the end of July and I need to be in bikini ready shape which is going to be a struggle because I've got to get my ass in gear.
And on Friday I am going to go see she and him you know the band that Zooey deschanel is in with some other dude. I'm hoping that its going to be really chill because its a sit down concert and this isn't some teeney bopper boy band. Cuz like a cool kid I'm going with my parents (they bought the tickets!!free concert) and if it was a standing concert I think I would die.
Okay time to go!!
Love you all cya lata

will you still love me when no longer young and beautiful?
OH MEH GAWD has it really been since march 13th that i last posted!!!!!!!! i feel like time is just flying my rapidly
with the end of the school year comming up along with the end of my senior year, ive been stressing major over my upcomming final IB exams and have been geeking out cuz there is just SO MUCH TO DO and i feel quite over extended.
so lets see here whats been going on recently----i went on senior retreat, been having test on tests, a new baby cousin was born today, rekindled some old friendships, watched life of pi in ToK SO GOOD, been eating alot of chocolate, neglecting working out, going out to din din with the rents at some awesome places, rocking out to lana and dave 24/7, studying like a mad man, going to starbucks alot, buying wayyy to many lace thongs because ive discovered how utterly COMFORTABLE they are expecially from the gap because they always have their lace undies on sale, did some major retail damage, hopefully getting a job, and trying not to think about the fact that i only have two more actual weeks of classes left.
but on the bright side im going to see olly murs tommorow night and ed sheeran on may 10th which schould be awesome and prom is next weekend but im not going. sadface. cuz nobody asked me. well this guy was supposed to ask me but then he didnt because he didnt want to go. after that i was feeling pretty dejected and downcast and just didnt feel like going to another high school dance by myself. for once just once i wanted to go with someone. why is it that all the cool and overrated people get the dates... thats lame. but all is well because my friends and i are going to do all sorts of fun stuff that weekend
my mother and i have been crusing through prison break its actuallly kinda crazy weve gone through two seasons in two weeks. Lets just say it has definitly detracted from my studying :) oh well senoritis get to the best of us.
graduation is in something like 28 days----holey schamoley
which means that i leave for paris in 29 days HOLEY CRAP. omg words cannot describe how excited i am for it.
my English teacher REALLY REALLY wants us to go see the great gatsby when it comes out and i really hope that we do because it looks so good!!!!! leo has deinfitly still got it. plus the soundtrack seems amazing...just check out young and beautiful by lana del rey ITS AMAING. and considering that im a lanalover its not suprising that i adore this song but its still SOOO GOOD. ive had it on repeat all day.

so go ahead and feed me diamonds
my most recent HAPPY SONG---its called feed me diamonds my MDMR
so lately its just been rough
school has just been SLAMMING US WITH HOMEwork projects papers expieriements tests oral assessments, you name it ive had it. its hard to believe that im just a high school senior...it feels like i should be in college already
but anyway after next week i will be stress free until may when EVERYTHING is happening like prom all my final exams graduation PARIS (omg can you believe it PARIS)
but next thursday i have my art oral assessment where basically i talk with my teacher about all of my artwork and who has inspired me how has this impacted my work what art exhibits have i visited what are my strengths and weaknesses etc. which is nerveracking because i want to do really well on it and its filmed and then sent to some IB moderator in some part of the world like peru or india where two different people will mark and grade me on how well i am able to express myself and speak intelligently about art for 20 minutes
AHHHH!!!!
well anyway lately ive been doing interval training on the treadmill because i find that running at the same speed for 30 minutes its monotonous and BORING. plus i get my heart rate up supper high
and recently my friend began reading the book the host by stephenie meyer and i got it for christmas my freshman year and read it so it had been awhile since i read it so i REREAD it in like 3 days...mind you its a 619 page book or so...its safe to say that on sunday alone i read like 400 pages. i mainly did this because the movie is comming out in like two weeks and people wanna go c it (cross our fingers its not as bad as twilight!!!) and for the hunger games i read them long before the movie came out and then when i was sitting there in the theater i was like WHAT THE EFFUCK IS HAPPENING...so im trying to be more prepared
but any new book suggestions?!?!?!?!!?!??!?! i need something new to read!!!
goodbye my lovelies

i want you to stay
RIRI
UGH can you believe that its almost MARCH AHHHH!!!!!
it doesnt feel like march considering that last night we got about 8 or 9 inches of snow
and dont get me wrong i LOVE SNOW. ususally im all like BRING ON THE SNOW i love winter and being cozy and all things snowy, but for some reason this year all i want to do is bust out my capris and START SHAVING MY LEGS AGAIN---i refuse to shave until i know that i wont get goosebumps the moment i walk outside----kinda gross you probably didnt want or need to know that but OH WELL
hahah so anyway teachers are shoving everything they possibly can for school down our throats ive got internal assessment upon internal assessment and then to top that off ive got papers and interviews and presentations and THEY ALL AFFECT MY IB SCORES---and its quite frightening because these scores will affect my future. i cant just be like all the other seniors that do shit 2nd semester and dont give a fuckkk cuz i gots to study which blows
on the upside i actually think im starting to lose some weight
minus the little breakfast outing that my mother and i had this morning where i got cinnamon bread french toast topped with warm apples pecans blueberries raspberries and powdered sugar. sounds like it could be healthy but I HIGHLY doubt that it was.
PLUS ive got less than 3 months till i leave for paris WAHOOOOSJRSFNLKSANFANSNASNFASFJSAJDLKSAJDKLJASKLDJLSAJJsKDLAS
after march 21 i will be able to relax tho cuz that will be when all my major projects are done and then all i have to worry about are my final exams
YAYA
so anyway ive been filling my time with lots of nonsense like THE CARRIES DIARIES (love sebastian kydd :)), fruits, i am trying to pray more, interval training, lots of pinterest, i keep on trying to make those apple chips things and they never turn out like how i want them to, NOT BUYING ANY CLOTHES cuz im saving fo paris, im going to a Marquette vs Notre Dame basketball game this weekend and hopefully getting a good lunch downtown with my lovelies
YAYYAAYAYAYAYAYYAAAYA
okay nashville is on in less than 8 minutes
and so the countdown begins
goodbye everyone
