Have a great exam week!

Freshman year cumulative (and a little extra)

L. 
So in the past three years, about as much stuff as possible could've changed:
- A family crisis made me turn to the idea of boarding school
- I finally convinced my mom that it was okay if I went away to school - took two years!
- Went to Japan
- My parents moved to Korea
- Lived with someone else for the first time!
- Had to work so hard to just get... B's
- Ran cross country for the first time ever!
- Made varsity swimming
- First time in a 16 hour plane
- Now am editor of three things at school!
- Went to an all girl's school... Gasp!
- 4 cumulative feet of snow in a three month period - snow up to my waist!
- Being buried theoretically in the library with work.
Just a smidgeon of stuff that's happened recently - I can't believe it sometimes!

The Magic of Roommates

L.
Okay, so it's not really magic. The title was to try to entice you into thinking that a) going to boarding school and b) having a roommate is all glitter, sparkles, unicorns and sugar and spice.
LIES.
So maybe I'm just cynical, but I'm definitely telling the truth: If you ever go to boarding school, or even when you board at college, learn to lower your expectations on your roommate(s).
Ultimately, if you're my roommate and you:
a) are neat.
b) are quiet.
c) listen to decent music.
2c) listen to your bad music with headphones.
3) keep your stuff with your stuff...
Then I'm okay with you.
That being said, two new girl roommates next year: Follow the commandments I'll soon be making and we'll get along.

Feeling a Throwback.

Slowing, but surely Freshman year is coming to a close. 

Praise the lord.

In middle school this was a very bitter sweet situation. 

Now it's just sweet. 

I can't wait. 

Today a friend and I were talking about everything that we did this year. 

-Went to the public school in my town

-Left all of my friends from my small private middle school

-Played field hockey for the fist time

-Psyched a super cool senior on the Varsity FH team 

-Formed a great bond with my English teacher, this opened up a lot of doors for me

-Entered a writing contest

-Discovered my love for art, something I want to pursue for the rest of my high school career

-Kept in touch with my friends from middle school

-Made friends with my old friends, friends. Ha. (Liv)

-Ski team!

-Spent the majority of my weekends skiing in Vermont or visiting my uncles in NYC

-Had a total of 14 snow days! Ask me how I feel about those in June

-Shadowed the director of the Spring musical

-As spring rolled around, I expanded my Prep-drobe (Preppy Wardrobe)

This is my dad and I on my first day of high school.

So froshy.

Field hockey stick and all.

Quality Time.

Good night, scratch that. Great night.

Kicked off the evening with Margaret (top).

We grabbed a slice of pizza at a local place. 

Then went to go see Liv aka L. in The Tempest. 

Played the beautiful godess Iris.

Other then her second degree burn from the evil curling iron. The performance was flawless.

The three off us spent the night at my house. 

Lots of laughs.

Ha.

We discussed our summer plans. (Counting down the days)

It was a eventful evening!

Veggie.

For three, almost four years now I have been a strict pescatarian (I don't eat land animals, only aquatic). Making the decision to stop eating meat came from a series of sources. (Books, disturbing videos I forced myself to watch on peta.org, documentaries). But just recently I finished reading the book Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer. Reading this book made me think twice about eating fish. I wasn't as educated in the treatment and cleanliness of fish. As well as the health concerns. Not only has this book changed the way I feel about fish, but all food in general.

Would love to hear what books have impacted other bloggers!
