Now for the normal blog entry stuff. Not a whole lot of stuff has happened lately so I'll spare you the boredom of most days.
However, youth sunday must be talked about because it was awesome. That's a service we do once a year at church, where the youth group does the entire service for the 2nd and 3rd services, and this year we also got to do the sermon at the 1st service. Rachel, Melissa, and I gave speeches about why we joined the youth group and what it's done for us and such. I was nervous and was planning on just reading my speech...but Melissa went first at the first service, and she talked about me...because I invited her to join the youth group...and her speech was funny because it talked about the fact that both of us were horrible in gym class and that's how we got to know eachother lol...but it was so sweet it almost made me cry...and I think in some bizzare way it relaxed me before my speech. Melissa hadn't mentioned me by name, but had said the congregation would here from her friend in a few minutes, so I went up and said. "Hi, I'm Jen, the other non-runner," and they laughed...and then things went smoothly. I ended up speaking to the audience and making them laugh when I wanted to and it was really nice. I'm really glad I chose to speak. I talked about a friend of mine who convinced me to join the youth group when she was going through some really tough times and had been greatly helped by the youth group...and how much it's changed me...to the point that I'm really considering being a youth minister. During the last service, I kept looking out into the audience at this one lady...thinking she looked really familiar...at first I was thinking she was a parent of a child from vacation bible school or something...but then I realized who it was...and I was like omg...It's Ms. Causey! My middle school band director! I went up to her after the service, and before I could ask if she remembered me, she was like "JEN!!!!" and hugged me. She just got married a year or so ago and she and her husband just moved to Apex, and they're thinking about joining our church. So that was really neat and it made me smile a lot.
AP exams last week and this week...Stat was ok except for the insane #6 that really confused me but aparently wasn't nearly as hard as we all thought...but they're massively curved and I bet a lot of people missed #6 and I only need a 3 to get credit anyway. English was interesting since I didn't take the class...but not as hard as I expected. My essays weren't as good as they would've been if I'd taken the class, especially because I would've had a better book choice for the open essay-I ended up using Cold Mountain, even though it's not really classic lit, because it was the only book I could think of that I'd read recently that made sense with the prompt. The multiple choice wasn't too bad though. Physics is tomorrow and I think I'm going to need to take physics over in college lol. I definitly don't remember the formulas or how to do a ton of the stuff but oh well. I'll have an easier time with it in college anyway.
I got a scholarship from UNCW, and that made me happy...not full ride or anything and I have to apply again for possible renewal I think, but it's enough to buy my computer, so that's cool.
Bedtime...leave me some comments, and remember the thing at the top of this entry!
