I finally passed my drivers test and now I have my permit!! It took 3 tries but I got it. The first time I took it I was quizzed on stuff I hadn't learned so I went back to the manual to review what I missed thinking I'd take the same test again. The second time I had a whole new test with some familiar questions but some of the questions I didn't get how they were worded, and so the third time I just went and read the whole manual almost from cover to cover. And I PASSED!!! I got exactly 80% and that's how much I needed to pass. My limit for myself was to only get 4 wrong. And when I got my 4th one wrong I was thinking "Oh crap I just failed". But then I realized I still had questions left.
On the test, during the test you can see what your score is and I was at 72%. Every time I got a question right my score went up 2%. Thankfully all the easier questions were at the end of the test! and I got exactly 80%. For me it was kind of nerve wrecking cause I didn't know which questions were going to come next, if it was something I knew or not. I think it was the most relieving thing in my life so far knowing I passed the test. I kinda feel weird that I passed at exactly 80%. I was hoping to do better but with this thing I won't complain! I'm just lucky to have a permit now! YES!!!!!!

My Golden Birthday
My birthday was awesome!!!! I got lots of nice "Happy Birthday" wishes from everyone. It was a good day at school too! And my favorite part is that I got a new GUITAR!!! It's a Solid Spruce Top Acoustic Fender! I love it! :) :)
The only thing that kinda sucks is that I failed my permit test so I have to go back and retake it tomorrow. I was off by one question!! It was the really dumb one about how many feet you have to be back from a school bus thing. :P But I'll probably pass tomorrow.. Hopefully!! :) But all in all it was an awesome day!! :) :)

FRESHMAN!!!!!
*If you read this WHOLE post and not just skim through it because it is so long I'd be so proud of you! I have a LOT to say in this one. Good Luck! :) *
My first day of school went really well! My locker didn't open the entire day, I got teased by a couple teachers, and I accidentally hit my friend Marissa with my gym lock. Usually things would go much better but I think I'm doing well so far. My teachers already expect high expectations from me. Especially my science teacher, Mr. Yates. I solved a brain puzzle and I was the only one with the right answer so I can tell he knows I'm smart. And he expects a lot. The brain puzzle was one of those where you have to try to count all the F's in the sentence. And I knew already that the word "OF" your brain accepts as "OV". So I was careful with it I guess.
On the other hand, Social Studies went kinda well. I was already getting weird looks from the teacher because I was laughing a LOT. I finally have 2 classes with my best friend Terrianna. We haven't had a class together since the 4th grade! WOW!. But she kept making me laugh before class and Mrs. Shelerud was looking at me like I was crazy. And when we had to write down our word definitions she said we can write them down any way that we can comprehend. So for me that was kind of a relief!
For example like when I had to define the word "Relocation", the books definition was something like, "When people relocate to a new place they take their fashion, food, religion, (Etc.) It was kind of a long list of like 5 different things. So instead I wrote, "Relocate- When people move they take their stuff with them". I told that to my friend Alyssa and she got a kick out of it. Not that I'm dumb or anything, I think it would be easier to make things less harder than they need to be. That way its not so hard.
Math was awesome! My FAVORITE subject. And Mrs. Kuziej is an awesome teacher! She's also my friend John's mom so I kinda knew her but I didn't know her know her like personally if that makes sense?! But hopefully Algebra doesn't get to difficult. It sounds kind of hard with all the concepts you learn and stuff, but I LOVE Math so hopefully It'll all go smoothly.
Spanish is going AWESOME! Now I'm in level 2 this year. We got to pick our Spanish names today, but we didn't officially decide. I REALLY want to keep my old name Esmeralda. It means Emerald in Spanish. I heard the name from the movie "Gotta Kick It Up" (Dance movie on the Disney Channel) and I loved it! But if someone else takes it then I want to be Carmen. Just like Carmen in the George Lopez Show on Nick@Night (I love that show!). Anyway, hopefully, I learn a lot this year in Spanish. Mr. Challgren says its a big step up from level 1 but if you work hard you'll do fine.
Gym isn't so bad either. I thought the ITF thing was going to be hard, but it's better I take the class now then later when I get to the high school cause when I get to the high school I can take things like Dance and Yoga for an elective in Gym! That sounds cool!
Language Arts is still awesome! I have Mr. Burr this year instead of Mr. Orth. Today I came into class getting ready to take notes as fast as I could, and totally be pushed passed my limit of how fast I can write and getting ready for the hand craps to start, but Mr. Burr is so much more easy going then Mr. Orth. But in Mr. Orth's class I think I have learned way more than I ever have! Now I'm not sure if I actually want things to slow down and be easy. I think I miss the high paced, crazy ways, but I know its a good thing not to learn TOO much in a day as you can handle.
Sounds Like an awesome school year! So far so good! :)

Random Thoughs I Think I Should Point Out
Hey everyone! Here are some random thoughts I have about my life
1: I'm so excited! My Freshman year in High School is starting in about 8 days! My open house is tomorrow. And so is my little brother Elijah's birthday.
2: I have recently found out Elijah loves it when I suck the helium out of balloons and sing Happy Birthday to him. But I hear it kills your brain cells so I don't think I'll be doing that again for a while. haha, it kind of makes you dizzy. It's really fun to say "Follow the yellow brick road and all your dreams will come true." It reminds me of the elves from the classic movie "The Wizard Of Oz".
3: I'm getting kind of excited to be in Honors classes this year. I know before on my last post I said it sounds hard and its gonna suck, but now I think I'm ready for it.
4: I turn 15 in 14 days! Then I can start DRIVNG!!!!! YES!!!
5: I get to go up to my best friend Nika's Cabin this weekend for labor day!! That will be SO much fun!
6: I miss Mexico and want to go back there for Christmas again. I want to go to La Familia Center and La Casa Country again. I am craving one of La Casa Country's tacos right now. And to top the whole Hispanic thing off I have "Livin' La Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin stuck in my head.
7: I sing in public WAY more than I thought. I was hanging out with some friends at Dairy Queen and the song "You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift came on the radio and I didn't get what everyone else was talking about and I heard the song so I started to sing it, quietly though cause the restaurant wasn't that noisy. And after a couple of words sung my friends were staring at me like I was crazy. It was pretty funny!
8: I am really into Guitars! I really want to learn how to play one. I know the Flue and a little Piano and now I want to learn the guitar. I hope to get one soon. I have been saving for an ES31C Jasmine Acoustic/Electric guitar made by Takamine.
9: I'm not sure how to end this post cause I only have 9 random things and usually you end things at 10.
10: I guess I'll have to write more later cause I can't think of a 9th or 10th random thought.
Next time I'll make sure I have 10 haha
