Maybe it was just a bug?!
Senioritis hit me at a bad time- Math test, Chem test, 12 page research paper, accounting quiz, physics project..pheww thats a lot! But of course, me being me, I did not study, or prepare until the last minute. Some of them I didnt study at all. So, the math test came around, (we get two days to do the test first day, do as much as you know, second day corrections). I get in the class room, the bell rings and my teacher hands out the test. Number 1- skip number 2- skip numbers 3 through 12- skip! Oh no! I am in a pickle! I figured out that I had to get at least a 70% on this test to end with an A. I knew I really wanted that A so as soon as I handed in that horrific test I got my math book out and studied, studied, studied, for the rest of that class and two hours at home. The next morning I walk into the class room with total confidence. Math problems 1 - 12 FINISHED! I turn in the test and know I did well! Not knowing what I scored on the test fora full 24 hours was killing me. The next day I get my test back i got a...........98%! Score! I was so relieved! No more procrastination for me! I also got a 95 on my chemistry test, 97 on my accounting quiz, and an 85 on the research paper (not my best but better than a C) and that is why I took the vaccine for Senioritis- MOTIVATION!

Seniorisits
You have all been there before. Of Course Wikipedia would have a definition-
The main symptoms of senioritis include chronic procrastination, lack of motivation, a drop in academic performance, and "coasting," which is the act of going through classes with very little concentration or application of intent. This usually happens in the last year of high school, college or graduate school. One of the most notable symptoms of senioritis, is that all attempts by educators to curb senioritis tend to actually increase senioritic symptoms. High school seniors experiencing senioritis after admittance to college are fed up with high school; as they see it, they have achieved high school's goal of getting into college and don't understand why they are still expected to work. Not to mention, most seniors, even those accepted to top-ranked institutions, do not love academics as much as their college essays would seem to indicate. Therefore, when a teacher attempts to motivate afflicted seniors, their efforts are only met with resentment.
This is oh so true for me! I cant stop this feeling!?
any suggestions? HELP!

So Many Dresses So Little Time!
What a GREAT day! Prom dress shopping with Tory! Tory and I headed off to a big day in Kansas City about 10 o'clock this morning! Of course I had to drive (yuck)! It was rainy and droggy but that didnt stop us. Our first stop was Elegant Bride, so many cute dresses, I tried on about 5 but nothing grabbed my attention. Unfortunatley, we left the store empty handed. We used the GPS to search to see if there were any other stores, we found one! Only 5 minutes a way....or so we thought. We plug the address in and it takes us to an empty parking lot. We called the store and got an address, 206 West Mill Street. As always we plugged the address in and followed the route. Do do do do do driving and so more driving and some more driving, 20 minutes had passed and we finally reach the place........ the wrong place that is. What are we doing?! Luckily Tory and I both just laughed about it. We plugged a new address in drove 20 more in and did a COMPLETE circle and ended up right back where we started. Where Dreams Come True my new favorite dress shop! We walk in and only see a few dresses, this kind of worried me but I looked anyway. I didnt see anything that really caught my eye. Tory and I sat down and found a million GORGEOUS dresses in a catalog, but they were way out of our price range, $370, 350, 300...yikes! As we were looking we noticed a dress we liked in the catalog that was on the rack. I tried it on! Right then and there that was the ONE! but which one was it!? Come back April 25 to find out!
Egg Time with Aunt MeMe
Miss Abby wanted me to take her to the fridge. I opened the fridge and the first thing she grabbed with her cute little hands were the eggs. I didnt even know she knew what they were. Abby took them to the living room and Tory said.. Oh Abbers wants some scrambled eggs. I volunteered to make them. Abby and I had fun making a mess in Grandma Sonyas Kitchen!
