This week there was a big school event going on, Prom! Typically schools have only juniors or seniors participate in prom, but my school is very small. That means all high school grades get to participate, it might sound kind of hectic. But it was actually really fun. There were around 100 or so people […]

Getting back to Sacramento was a huge relief. Even though the trip to Washington was fun, being back home feels so nice. Especially because the weather feels like spring (finally).

They don’t give you your score until later on in the year, so I had to leave the presentation room when they scored you. But […]

This was another relaxing week, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t productive. My big personal project presentation is coming up next week so there is some stress from that, but it’s not something I can’t do. I need to make a presentation for that, so I am thinking of making a google slideshow and then […]
