Wow, so it's been a while since I posted an update. Here's what's been going on with me:
First of all, I have finally graduated from high school, #80 out of 844. I could have done better if I'd worked harder, but I'm still in top 10%, and I have my diploma now. What's past is past, and I'm sure I'll have a great time in college next year and do really well in Austin.
I think I did fairly well on the AP tests--I took 7 of them. I couldn't have done better than I did, since there wasn't nearly enough time to cram in the one week before, and...I'm hoping for the best. My scores will come in the mail around mid-July.
I went to Reno for BPA nationals. It was spectacular, but it was very cold, and all I had was my suit jacket. So when we went to Lake Tahoe I only had a long sleeve shirt on in 40-degree (Fahrenheit) weather, which wasn't really fun. I was afraid I was going to catch a cold again, when I'd just recovered the week before, and I really didn't want to be sick during my competition. But thankfully I didn't become ill, and I ended up taking first place in my event. The girl who beat me didn't even make it to finals. Naturally I was pretty thrilled.
Ah, what else. I've spent the summer restructuring my companies and hopefully I can see a lot of growth before I have to go back to school. I'll be going to Orientation in July, and I'll have an opportunity to rent a P. O. Box for my companies then.
Lastly, if any of you have a Facebook (social networking site), I'll be happy to add you. Here's my profile: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1113368474. Just click "Add to Friends" over to the right, and I'll add you.

PS I apologize for any bad grammar. It's 2:30 here, and I'm pretty tired.
