Today is such a beautiful day. I am in a really good mood, even though I have to work tonight. That would have to be the only rainy cloud in my sky today. Also, today is the first day of spring, and that is another reason why I am happy. Currently, I am having a grand computer class. We took a final (that wasn't so grand at all), but now we are working on our websites. It's cool! I am very proud of my website, though some people would think that it is stupid and pointless and irrelevant. Who cares, though. I certainly don't. Well, I guess I will end this now because I am just rambling. If you didn't already think me completely and utterly weird... you probably do now.

Good morning!
Well, I am writing this before school while waiting for my oatmeal to cool. It's going to be a beautiful day, I just know it. Or at least, I hope that it will be beautiful. I went on a long run yesterday, and it felt amazing! They say that exercise releases pain-killing endorphins in your brain, and I definitely think that is true. My dog went with me, and while I was running, she found a deer leg (not just a bone... the entire leg) and felt that she just had to pick it up and run with it. Finally I got her to put it down, thankfully. I wouldn't have wanted to run with a ginormous deer leg in my mouth. Not to mention it isn't very sanitary. Well, I think my oatmeal is done now. Just wanted to say "good morning" to the two people that actually read this!

SAT's
I just got back from taking the SAT's... my first time. All I can say is "wow." Nothing makes you feel more braindead than spending 3-4 hours sitting in a classroom, taking tests that are all basically the same thing (except there are two subjects). And now I get to go to work... what a fun, fun day.
By the way, my computer teacher, Mr. Colegrove, is radically awesome!

Youth Leadership Session 6
Okay, so I haven't really said anything about my leadership program on here yet, but I'll give a little overview. Last year when I was a sophomore, my principle (and then driver's ed teacher) informed us of a leadership program for juniors that runs throughout the entire school year once a month. It takes students from the different school districts in Tioga County, and it allows them to do things and see things that other students wouldn't have the opportunity to do. For example, each month we would go to a different business in Tioga Co. And for each month we would have an assignment to do and we would have to give a one-minute speech in front of the others at the next session.
Today was the sixth session. After this one we only have one more before we "graduate", and yes we have a graduation. We went to the courthouse in Wellsboro where we toured different areas of the courthouse. My personal favorite was going down and see the 911 Dispatch Center. This is where your call goes when you call 911 in Tioga County. It was really interesting, and I think that it would be a pretty cool career.
Also, we got to sit in on a commissioner's meeting. It was interesting because this meeting is open to the public, and some of the "public" had some very... uhhh... interesting comments. For example, one of the men just sat there are criticized pretty much everything that the government was doing. Apparently he is a regular, though, so the commissioner's knew exactly how to handle his "rudeness".
We also got to talk with some people who work with Sen. Scarnati, Congressman Thomas and Rep. Baker. It was interesting to hear about their jobs and what they enjoy about them. The more that I hear about government, the more interested I become. I still really want to be a vet, but if for some reason that doesn't work out for me, I am thinking more and more about pursuing a career in the government somewhere. Call me crazy, and maybe I am, but for some reason it's standing out to me.
So basically that was my day in a nutshell. The reason why I am posting all of this is because I am really lazy, and I don't want to have to work on the stuff for the 4 tests that I have to take tomorrow. Well... I probably should get to that so I don't fail.
