It's Only Life...

The title of this blog is a song by Kate Voegele. It is really good and when I am down, I listen to a lot of her music to help me through it. Just some food for thought.

It is so cold here, a little below zero with wind chill. And I love it - I love the cold, I love the winter, and as odd as it sounds, it does not feel very cold at all. I guess I am used to freezing weather? - so when it is thirty-ish degrees outside, I am wear a light jacket...

I have in-class midterms starting this week: which means that for my electives class time is taken out of the school day so that I can have my final... it is usually split up into a few days (spanish is 3 days and criminal law is 2), then the last week of January is midterm week, so when I have a midterm, I go into school, but if I don't have one, I don't go to school. It is really nice becasue I have a sort of break...

Criminal Law is stressing me out. Our final exam is to put on a trial - we are taking a fairytale (the Pied Piper) and making it a criminal trial. Since this class is an elective, usually for seniors, many of the people in my group are lazy and it is getting to me because we have a lot to do still and our trial is Friday. And me, being the group leader, I have more on my plate, becasue I get penalized if my team is not on the same page. This may sound snobbish, but it is hard for me to work with regents kids as an AP kid becasue I am so used to having motivated and driven people around me. Wow, that felt nice to get off my chest.

Yeana- I am glad that you have reached that place. I think that it is a good place to be. And am proud of you for getting there, I can definetly relate to how hard it is to go against your parents wishes, but it is something that must be done. (my parents don't want me to go into law)

I bought a cardigan today, it is a lovely shade of blue. It is the first one I have bought in a while (like 6 months) and I am excited!

Ok, I must depart because I have massive homework to do and since I am in the midst of auditions for my school's musical (West Side Story) I need to get ahead on a lot of assignments.

Love to all,
Rosanna
