Personal, Social, & Educational life:

As a junior in high school, the colleges focus on your sophomore and junior year's achievements, activities, GPAs, etc. the most. The average GPA decent universities accept are around 4.13, more or less. I wasn't well informed of this until recently and I screwed up in my sophomore year. My GPA was a 3.6 or something. Now I have to make this up and excel even higher in my junior year. This puts on a lot of stress and pressure on me to do well because I worry about my future, the college I want to get into, my major, etc. In addition, the SATs and ACTs stress me out especially just by thinking about it because these are major tests that colleges/universities recommend you to take and pass in order to be accepted. I've taken two PSAT tests so far in my sophomore year and just recently, and boy were they hard and very fast-paced. My score isn't at the level that colleges accept either. I'm definitely planning to study and borrow books from the library soon and I'm planning to take the actual SAT during January as well as during my senior year, so I can compare and choose the highest score I'd like to put on my transcript. I am aiming for a 2000 or higher but it sounds very impossible at the moment. ^^;

 

(A bit of ranting ahead about my classes. Read at your own risk.)

My grades right now are definitely not what I aim for: 4 A's, 1 B, and 1 C. All of my grades are on the border line (the most dreadful thing ever!), and I know that my 91% in trig will definitely fall because I believe I did horribly on the test. ;~; In physiology, I have a 79% but I swear my teacher has to be the most unorganized and uncoordinated teacher ever. She expects us to remember and know how to do everything after saying instructions once (no handouts or anything physical for us to keep) and that doesn't seem possible to me. Her notebook grades are outrageous: a majority of the class doesn't know what she expects to see on the notebook! I remember the first notebook check where they way she calculates points are very unbalancing. Nothing made sense to me as to what she was expecting. I don't know if my teacher follows a lesson plan or anything but she seems to jump around a lot and she doesn't really follow our book. She is a technology freak and forces us to take our quizzes and tests on our computers and we also have to send her our homework and group projects to her via email, but she seems to lose them quite frequently. A classmate of mine sends her his assignments via email, and I don't how but she never sees it, thus giving him F's on his assignment. He sorta raged quit and dropped out of the class. Now you may be wondering why I have this class. In the beginning, I wanted AP or regular psychology but they had no room and I had no 3rd period, so I decided to take physiology instead of dance, choir and etc., because physiology has a tiny connection to psychology. I'm not certain about what to major in college yet, but I am thinking about psychology as one of my options. ^^

 

Throughout the semester, I am going to work harder to earn a 4.0 (or higher GPA because Chem Honors is weighted) GPA (straight A's), but it also requires time. For a majority of the weekdays, I do homework until late at night and sleep at around 12am-1am. The next morning, I'm all sleepy and grumpy; during this year, I tend to feel tremendously sleepy during class and this is unlike anything that ever happened to me before in school. I know this doesn't seem as bad as the other people have it but I'm not adapted to working this late. (I usually had an easy year in the past and I procrastinate really bad. :c) During the weekends, I have to work on completing my service hours for my club (volunteering/helping in and outside of school, such as runs, festivals, etc.) and I am also the newly elected fundraising chair, and it's a bit of a challenge to me. The accurate timing, people's preferences, applications, and communication are all difficult to work with and I haven't adjusted to that yet; I have to earn a certain amount of money before the year ends and I've also made some mistakes that I must learn from. ^^;

 

My review shop:

Sorry, sorry, sorry for the unexpected hiatus and eternally long delays! I am very thankful that everyone is understanding and waiting with no complaints (although you may be wishing to murder me at this moment). All I can say was that I was completely going to devote my time and efforts into my review shop, but after school started, I was repeatedly greeted with a fresh slap in the face everyday and every time of the moment, as if school was mocking me, hence my inability to keep up with the shop. I'm being tortured guise, help! >.< /slapped.

 

I plan to start and finish up reviews, then post them all at the same time during any break of some sort, but I can also finish and posts reviews one by one (remember it's first come, first serve, so there's an order). I haven't decided anything yet, so please vote on the poll, on the comments section below, or by pm and let me know your opinion! 

 

This fic went on a year long (and more) hiatus. I apologize for not informing the subscribers. I didn't update this fic because it contradicts everything I want to write and see in a fic: this fic lacks organization, the plot is cliche, and it reminds me of Twilight. This is completely my fault and a result of my flaws. 

 

On the other hand, I have grown as a writer and this story really points out the flaws I have as I was just beginning aff; it's embarrassing to read. However, if anyone really wants me to finish this fic, send me a comment, vote on the poll, or send me a pm, and I will definitely consider because I owe it to you guys! <3

 

 

Thank you for putting up with my procrastination, laziness, and crappiness as an author, reviewer, etc. ^^ I REAAALLLLYYYY want to send you virtual hugs and cookies because you all truly deserve it~ Seriously! ^u^ *sends you guys Namu's hearts* <333333
