To Hell & Back

It has been a rough couple of days, as I have been swamped with a lot of work to do. I still am, but now I have taken care of the the dreaded list I made for myself. It was called "Nando's List Beford He Dies!!!" They consisted of a few things, which I'll describe each briefly...

1.) AP Testing: For the past three weeks, I have been AP testing. Those tests are quite tiresome, so I was glad I only signed up for four. It was only supposed to be two weeks, but my Calculus AB test was pushed back from two weeks ago to today. Man, that free-response was a bitch!!!

2.) CMAA Scholarship: I was called back for an interview to when a $1,000 scholarship. All i did was answer a few questions and take a pic. At first, I was completely nervous, but once the day came I threw it to the backburner and rolled with it. I took it as a chance to improve my interview skills and as a learning experience. I do hope I get it, though.

3.) Capital Markets Contest: Now this was one of the bigger pains. I teamed up with my friends Jennifer, Peter, and Andy to produce an essay and a powerpoint in which we showcased what the Federal Reserve will do depending on the trends going on today in the economy. We worked very hard and had fun with it, after some time of procrastination. Unfortunately we didn't win. I had a blast, though! After it was all said and done, I have greater respect for the my teammates, whom I can proudly call my friends.

Now that the evil competitions and tests are over with, I can now focus on my schoolwork and my college preparation. There's only a few weeks left of school. It's hard to believe the day I've dreamt of is now upon me. That is why I'm gonna be writing a three-part short story called "Stories for Summer Time." It will be a way for me to express the ideas I've come to realize, based on my actions and experiences. Be on the look out for it.

Well, that's all for this week. I'm now gonna relax a bit, as I've been to Hell and back!
