Travel the world or go to space
I've always wanted to go on a long vacation. Not the world, but just the United States. See national parks. What countries would you like to visit most?
I would love to go to Europe
Anywhere in particular?
And visit Australia. I want to scuba dive the Great Barrier Reef.
That's really cool. I've never gone scuba diving. Have you before?
Yes I scuba dive. I got certified in 8th grade.
How hard is it to get certified?
My science teacher asked if anyone wanted to. It took a couple classes and reading then actually getting in the water. Not that hard really. But it's AMAZING I live in Hawaii so there's lots of water to dive in
I know some people who really love to go scuba diving. They travel all over the place to do it. I live in Kansas, so there's no where to do it.
So what do you do for fun down in Kansas?
Lately I've been working a lot because $ for mission and college, you know. The regular struggle. Otherwise I read. There's not much else to do. We don't have any cool stuff. That's part of the reason I chose BYU. It's in the mountains and I love the mountains. I really want to hike a lot.
That's exciting! Do you know where you are going on your mission yet?
Nope. Don't have my papers through yet. I've been to the doctor and dentist so it's getting there. Thankfully I don't have to get my wisdom teeth pulled yet.
Ya my guys friends are still putting in their papers.
I probably should have them in by now. I'm the oldest, though, so I don't know what the heck I'm doing college/mission wise. I'm kind of stumbling blindly.
It's good that you are doing though! Better late than never. I'm the oldest too I have 2 little brothers Wbu?
Much better than late then never. Being the oldest kind of sucks, at least for me. I have 3 younger brothers and 1 younger sister. The rules were so much stricter for me than they are for them. Just things like watching PG-13 movies and bedtimes.
Thats so true! I'm youngest brother gets everything and anything he wants
None of us are that spoiled. My sister who is the youngest tends towards that.
I always try to parent him but my parents just tell me to leave it to him
I don't dare try to parent my siblings.
So do you know what you want to major in? Or still deciding?
I've decided to decide after my mission. It's going to be something like Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, math, etc. You get the idea. How about you?
I also don't know for sure but definitely engineering or math or architecture
So same thought!
I like the STEM field Math is my favorite subject I'm actually in Physics class right now too
I don't have a favorite subject (just because I don't have favorites) but math is up there. I'm currently taking math as an elective, so that just shows how much of a nerd I'm I'm at home because we didn't have school.
Haha I took math at the local college for first semester but I don't have math now Which I'm worrying cause I haven't used my math brain since December
Most seniors don't take math at my school. I'm sure you'll do fine. I haven't really either. Stats isn't math really, more like magic. And in differential equations, we barely get to see numbers. It's all letters.
I didn't take any of those. I just went up to calculate. Calculas*
I was going to take Physics 2 instead of differential equations, but they didn't offer it because not enough people signed up
My physics class is probably the worse ever...we don't actually learn I have to teach myself
That happens a lot. We learned a lot in my first physics class which was really nice. Good practice for college though
Ya..but everyone just copies from online. It's bad
It sounds really bad. Almost over, though, right?
15 days!! 15 school days Our graduation is at the end of this month
I only have 5 school days. It's really lucky. Then again, we started really early. Graduation is two weeks from yesterday
Wow that's quick You excited?
More tired.
Haha true!
I won't even be class for most of the week anyway because of AP tests.
I really like highschool but I'm ready to move on
I'm SOOO ready to move on. I enjoy it. It's just tiring.
AP English test next week for me
Lit?
Yes That's the only AP class I took
Me too. It's my least stress one. I have a few other tests, though.
I have a class called STEM capstone where you work on a STEM project the whole year....but I didn't start it
Procrastination at its finest there. I have an essay due Wednesday I haven't started yet.
Yes procrastinating is key
There's nothing quite like that rush from staying up past 12 the night before it's due.
I've actually never done that...my parents don't let me
I've only done it this year. My parents make me go to bed, but I just sit in my closet and work.
The closest? O my gosh!
I share a room with my brother so I can't have the light on in the room. There's a light in the closet.
Ya I lay in bed and try but I always ended up falling asleep My bedtime is 9:30 that's why...
I've gotten really good at not falling sleep.
Do you have early morning seminary?
My bedtime was 9 before this year, but this year I've successfully taken it down. I have early morning seminary. Haven't missed a day!
What time? And I have missed a day.... But I'm there 98% of the time
5:40. The only reason I'm there every day is because I've told myself to. Otherwise I'd skip once and never go again. I'm pretty weak and strong willed at the same time.
That is a good mind set We start 5:45 For the last three years it was 5:30 But my dad got them to change it
Or a stupid one. It just depends on which way you look at it. We started at 5:45 my Freshman year and 5:45 every other one. It's that time for us because marching band practice in the morning
Woow marching band in the morning? Ours is during class and on Saturdays
Pretty much right after seminary. We have first hour, so we basically come early to school and keep working. Give us 40 extra minutes. Then we have Tuesday nights too. What do you play?
I play tenor saxaphone
Trombone for me. I love it so much.
My brother wants to play that when he gets to middle school My favorite is Jazz Band I don't like marching Concert is sick too
He's a wise person. I hate marching. I love pep band.
Or pep band could be cool...but we don't have a very good teacher My ohter brother plays trumpet
My younger brother plays trumpet.
Sick. Well I have to go study. It's was really fun talking to you!
Same. I can't believe how much we have in common!
Maybe we will see eachother
Yep, count on it. 2 years.
Woop woop! Good luck on everything! Bye
Bye
