I would love to...

Go to France and spend two weeks there with our french exchange student Constance. I would probably become adequately fluent in French, not to mention everything I would learn about French culture! Constance promised to take me to all the "romantic" places in Paris and let me taste all the wonderful French food. I can almost taste the Nutella and whipped cream...

Coolio Schoolio

I go to Saint Mary's Hall and will graduate in 2006.

I'm in Student Council, French Club, and NHS.

I loved AP English Language with Dr. Marshall--she has really inspired me to write!

I hope to take as many math classes as they'll let me; right now I'm trying to get them to create a Calc 4 class I can take.

Psychology class has once again escaped my schedule, but it really fascinates me, so I can't wait to take it in college.

Here are a few quotes by which to live:

Most recently, a favorite of mine has been...

Stick it to the Man!

The man of course being...

Also, a more philosophical one...

Live in the Present

My YES Journal

Week One

June 1-3, 2005

Entry: June 3rd

 It's been fun, I got to know all of the other YES kids (a grand total of 10 others), and we've started thinking about our ISM projects. Even though I don't go to a North side public school (where they officially offer ISM) I really want to do it anyway because it sounds facinating. I'm still not quite sure what I want to do, and we have to have a pretty solid idea by next Monday.
Alas.

We've had a few presentations on different engineering and scientific fields they study here at Southwest Research Institute and they've all given me a more in depth look at these different areas. It is definately helping me narrow my choices for a career.

The mini WWW course has been so great---look at how much I've learned already! Mere days ago I could only do simple computer functions, and now here I am making my own website!!! Look at this thing!

Other Fun Stuff
