Is this semester really almost over? Am I really about to graduate? These are questions I'm constantly asking myself. At times I get super nervous about graduation to the point where I can't sleep. Just thinking about the fact that once I graduate I'm going to be an adult and be totally independent has me really scared. Theres times where I wish I wasn't a senior just so I can stay a little longer at LHS.
Many things have happened throughout my four years of high school. Not only have I matured but I have also been through a lot of valuable experiences. I'm never going to forget the first day as a freshman. Walking through the front gate super scared and confused is a memory I'll always think back to. I remember thinking to myself “wow my graduation year is 2016, that's still a really really long time from now.” Who would've known that this year would get here so fast. I still can believe I'll be graduating in a few months. Not so long ago I ordered my cap and gown and my class ring. I can't wait to see how my class ring turned out.
I really have to step up my game and start working hard on my school work because as I mentioned time flys by. This is one of the things I'm most scared about, not finishing my work on time. Not only because I want to graduate but also because I really want to go to grad night. I been looking forward to this trip since my freshmen year, and I don't want to miss it now that I'm super close to it. One of the things that I still need to do before I graduate is my senior exit interview. The good thing is that I am almost finished with my senior project. I really hope I do well and don’t get too nervous.
Leaving LHS is going to be really hard. Letting go of all my friends is something that I don't want to think about. If it wasn't for them my highschool years would of been really different. They were the one who would always support me in every decision I made. There's also a lot of inspiring teachers I'm going to miss. I'm really thankful for those teachers who supported me and believed in me. Honestly there's not one single class I regret taking, all of them were really interesting and fun. I can really say my four year at LHS were a blast.
Once I've graduated I am planing to go to a community college and start working. I am still not sure if I'm going to transfer to a university once I finish my two years, but if I do I'm interested in going to Bakersfield or Fresno State. As time passes by I hope I can figure out what I really want, because right now I'm still a little confused about what exactly I'm going to do with my life. Leaving lhs isn't going to be easy. I just have to remember once a cardinal always a cardinal!

The beginning of the second chapter

I can't believe this was the last winter break I’ll ever have as a high school student. I tried making this winter break as memorable as possible, even though it didn't work out. All winter break I was stuck finishing school work. This was not what I had in mind for my winter break, but I really didn't want to go back to school behind. Even though most of the time I’m busy doing homework, I’m sure going to miss winter breaks as a high school student.
Many things occurred in my first semester. I will never forget the excitement everyone had on their faces as homecoming week came closer and closer. Many of my close friends were running to be the homecoming queen. This made it so hard to choose which one I was going to vote for because as always there can only be one winner. Another event that will be impossible to forget was bell week. Even though our football team didn't bring the bell home, I can proudly say that they tried their best. One of the things that I totally regret about not doing this semester was shooting for those level fours. Looking back I could have received a lot of level fours if I had tried harder.
One of the things that I'm freaking out about the most is my senior exit interview. Not signing up to do the early completion is also something I regret. I am trying my best to finish my website on time and also trying to make it as pretty as possible. I really have to start completing it now because my senior interview is closer than it seems. I’m also a little nervous for my college placement test. This test will be occurring in a couple of months, but the part I'm most worried about is the math portion. I haven't taken a math class since sophomore year, that's why I'm so worried about it.
One of the most frustrating things that has happened to me this semester was completing college and the financial aid applications. Having to use a lot of documents and having to remember many passwords had me really stressed out. In the beginning I had no idea how to fill out these applications. I remember asking my counselor for help, but there were so many students that were also seeking help that it made really hard to get any support. If it wasn't for my friend Laura's help I would have probably filled out the information incorrectly. She was the one who would always be insisting I finish my applications and with her help, I did.
So far the beginning of this semester has been really good. I hope the rest of the semester turns out the same way. I don't want to be stressing out weeks before graduation trying to complete uncompleted work. I just hope this last semester I'll ever be having as a LHS student turns out to be the best!

Is it just me or is the year going by way too fast? It seems like just last week we were starting school and now it's getting close to the end. Not so long ago I was writing my first journal, and now I’m writing my second journal! It's amazing how fast time passed by, without me even noticing.
To me this semester has been very stressful. The reason why I've been super stressed is college applications. It has also been very hard to stay on pace in all my classes. As a senior I have to make sure I don't fall behind because then it's super hard to get back on pace, especially if you leave everything last minute!
In my previous journal I was explaining how scared I was to have a psychology class and how I was going to try my best in that class. I have came to a conclusion that I was over thinking because now when I think about it, that class is not what I expected at all. Yes at times it can be a little stressful but nothing close to what I had in mind. What I like about that class is that the teacher makes sure no one falls behind, and if for some reason you start to fall behind she makes sure she's on your back until you catch up. Maybe this is a huge reason why I haven't fallen behind, I just hope it continues to be like this for the rest of the year.
I am really anxious for this semester to be over and I'm also a bit scared for the reason that it is right around the corner and I still have a few things to finish. I am trying my best to finish before it ends because I would not like to be working on 12a when I supposed to be working on 12b work.One thing thats helping me catch up with my classes is flextime schedule. This new schedule is allowing me to choose any class that I need to catch up on. The only thing that I don't really like about this new schedule is that it happens every day, I would prefer it to only happen like twice or three times a week.
Next semester I am going to do my senior exit interview. At times I get a little worried just thinking about the fact that I'm going to talk in front of people I’ve never met. I have been told that there's nothing to worry about and that the panelists are always very friendly. I am going to try my best not to panic and if I get nervous I'm going to try not show it. I just hope everything turns out good and that I get a good score.

The beginning of my senior year
9/14/15
Wow, I can't believe i'm a senior already. It seems like it was just yesterday when I walked in as a freshman. At that point I didn't really care how important school was, but how wrong was I. At times I get really scared about how successful i'm going to be this year since I won't be having a next year to finish uncompleted classes.
So far i'm liking all my classes. The only classes i'm a little nervous about is my psychology class and economics but I won't be worrying about that class until next semester. Psychology concerns me for the reason that I heard that it is a difficult class but I know that if I focus my mind into it I will do just fine. Next semester I will have economics this is also a class that scares me at times, but the weird thing is that i don't really know exactly why it scares me, maybe because it's based on money, I think?
One of my favorite class this year is art class, just because I enjoy drawing, and I enjoy being with my friend Yuri. I also enjoy guitar class for the reason that i'm the type of person that gets super excited to learn something new and once learned really appreciates it. Even though I'm scared of being a senior am also pretty excited to be one, mainly because it’s my last year and because as a senior you have many privileges.
One of my main goals this year is to do my ultimate best in every class. At times this may seem very hard for the reason that I'm the type of person that gets distracted pretty easy. This is an obstacle that I want to get rid of but I know that if I focus my best I will accomplish it. I also want to enjoy every single bit of this year and never take anything for granted because now I know that time literally goes by flying!
As you can tell this is just the very beginning of my senior year and I’m already stressing over my classes. I hope this won't be me towards the end of senior year because then I will be in hot water. I just hope everything turns out to be just fine. I also hope that this year becomes an unforgettably good year!
