Wingapo! If you didn't know (which you should have, obviously) that it how you say hello in...whatever language it is that pocahontas uses. My name is Kayla, and I'm a Wayzata High School senior, and this blog is my first project for my AP Language and Composition class. It's only the second day of school, and I already can feel senioritis setting in. I'm trying at the moment to balance my highschool life, my social life, and my panic attack-worthy need to start seriously applying to college. Taking things at more of a steady tempo, I suppose I can talk about the first part of my freak-out worthy life: the highschool phase.
Most of the things I do on a regular basis involve, or are connected to, my highschool. The fall is when I have my precious free time, although lately thats looking like it may be threatened by my overwhelmingly large number of interests. I take my brother to school in the mornings, and home afterwards. I do my homework, I hang out with my friends. I try to run, most of the time. For the most part, in the fall, my time is my own. However, just as of recently I've been thinking of joining the sounds and lights crew for our drama departments fall musical. Huge time commitment, but I have to admit, it would be fun. It cuts, by a week and a half, into my winter season. During the winter I become an insane busy body. Being on the alpine ski team is ridiculously time consuming, but god do I love it. I've done it every year of highschool and have no intentions of quitting. I come home late, usually have ice cream (which we always have in the winter, but somehow never in the summer. Odd?), do my homework and go to bed late. Skiing ends for the spring season, during which I have a week or two of rest, before the track and field season starts. I used to run sprints, and jump hurdles. Highschool changed that. My track event is polevaulting, and while it may be the silliest of all the things I am involved in, I enjoy it very much.
Outside of my sport life, but still in my school life, I am in club Y.E.S.- a service volonteer program-, and have also participated in Link Crew, Photography Club, and Novel writing club. Novel club actualy may beat out polevauling for one of the sillier things I am involved with. I love art, and reading, and playing my flute. I am in the wind ensemble here at the school, and take private lessons from a teacher I admire hugely. During marching band, which is going on just next class period, I play the piccolo. Hence, ladies and gents, my URL.
Unrelated to school, I spend most of my time either burried in a book or spending time with my friends. Most of the time, its reading. If I'm not doing those things, I could probably be found hyperventilating (yes, that was a slight exaggeration) about my college apps. I love Madison, Loyola, and am applying to several schools out east. We'll see what happens.
Well this post is getting abnormally long, and I'm running out of time. Oh, time- the title of my blog, if anyone were to be intested, is pulled strait from one of my absolute favorite poems. Andrew Marvel's "To his coy mistress". And on that note, goodbye.
