It's Official
Sooooo if you read my last post you would know that I took my Math pert-the entrance exam for a college program- and well.... I got a 114.... and I needed, A 114!!!!!! I felt very confident on the first 8 questions.... then I hit question 9. Damn you question 9! Anyways, after that it basically switched back and forth between "what is this?" and "woooow really? College level?". So all in all i've had a fairly okay day other than my boyfriends very close friend committed suicide last night so he was having a very hard time dealing with it and me, being the socially awkward and inept, person I am.... I didn't know how to comfort him. Yeah.... oh so I found out that my aunt is going to take me with her, my cousin Michaela, Chelsea, Emery, and Micheal, to their 'birthday breakfast' at CINDERELLA'S CASTLE! Yes I ammmm fangirling. Well whatever I'm alloud to fangirl. This just got really off topic but anywayyyyyys, yeah.... I'm officially going to college next year! Oh god... I'm going to college next year. Wish me luck.

I'M IN COLLEGE....Maybe?
So in some schools in Florida they do this thing for junior and seniors in high school where they can take college classes at the local college instead of taking the 'same' classes at high school-for a lower credit- and then having to retake the classes again after they graduate. Basically what has been going on with me lately is I have been preparing to take the test that will determine if I get into the program or not. Well today I took two sections of the test-the reading and writing- and tomorrow I take the math portion. I got my scores back for the two I already took and well.... I PASSED! I'm really excited because that is basically the first step to getting into the college, next I pick out my classes. Its so crazy to think that I'm going to be walking around a college campus, taking college classes, and spending my days with adults who won't treat me like I need to be coddled. This is a pretty big step for me and I'm so grateful for this opportunity. Also, this will likely improve my writing because it will give me new experiences so base my writing off of. I hope that my test goes well tomorrow... wish me luck!!!!

Absence
I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really sorry for being MIA lately but not only have I been REALLLLLLY busy but I may have also..... gotten locked out of my account? Heh.... yeah so what happened was I thooought that my password was one thing-it wasn't- so I let my mom log me out.... only when I tried to log in, I didn't know the password. Well the other problem was that my 'recovery email' was an old yahoo account that I definitely didn't remember the password for. So I've been trying to figure out a way to get my password back when my brain finally started working and said "why don't you just answer the security questions?" To say the very least.... I was mad. Anyways... I'M BACK! I plan on resuming my usual posts and updates. Speaking of...
In my time I have been gone I; I wrote a few more chapters in my book, I wrote a short story (around 3,750 words) for this magazine writing contest, I got back my testing scores for writing-I scored 76% above other students in my grade, and I've finished a couple of books.
Well thats really what I have to say right now but I can assure you guys that I will be posting more in the coming weeks.
Alright bye guys

Update
Hey guys sorry it had been forever since I posted, I have a serious sinus infection and haven't really been able to do much of anything. Well Ragtime is over and I only got to do 4 out of the 8 shows because I was too sick. Talk about being disappointed. Well nothing new has been going on other than getting sick.

Ok well I'm going to get some rest, sorry again for the slacking on my behalf.

Shadow Kiss Review (spoilers)
Like always I am giving fair warning to the fact that this book contains massive spoilers for the book Shadow Kiss-the third in the Vampire Acadeemy series- and would advise that if you have not read said book to skip over this quickly and without sneaking any peeks. Alright, cool.
Shadow Kiss was an amazing addition the the Vampire Academy series, it held my attention from start to end. With the novel starting off in the aftermath of Mason-Rose's best guy friend- being killed, you see as Rose struggles to come to grips with the horrible death of someone she cared very deeply for. As the events press on you see as Rose becomes more and more scared that she is losing her mind, I mean who wouldn't when you went through what she had to endure? When Rose starts seeing the ghost of Mason-later discovered to be a side effect of being shadow kissed- she hides it from everyone, including Lissa. Along with all of the personal drama in her own life Rose is trying to help deal with the new complications in Lissa's life as well, Adrian. Adrian is a spirit user, and one who wants to learn more. When Adrian and Lissa begin teaching each other how to use their powers and try to learn more about what exactly a spirit user is, Lissa-unitentionally- sends her 'darkness' into Rose, verses the alternative of increasing depression on herself. Poor Rose takes Lissa's darkness and because of this becomes very short tempered, and irrational, and when Rose gets assigned to Christian, not Lissa, for the novice field exercise, things become even more difficult. In a series of bad timing, Christian and Rose are 'attacked' by the guardians pretending to be strigoi, Mason appears to Rose, causing her to freeze up and in turn allowing for Christian to become a strigoi snack-not literally.On the positive side of things, the mesmerizing love between Rose and Dimitri finally gets its chance to bloom. And after a fun time in a cabin, the two lovers make plans to well... make things work. Only to come face to face with a full fledged invasion of strigoi. After the defeat of most of the strigoi the academy learns that 13 victims had been taken, one of which being Mason's best friend, Eddie. Thanks to the help of her mother and Dimitri, Rose is able to get a large rescue team to go save the captures and Eddie. Although only having enlisted the help of Mason's ghost, who was able to give Rose the direction she needed to find where the strigoi where holed up. But in a drastic turn of events, Dimitri falls on said mission. Rose has a difficult time dealing with the death of her true love, only to learn that he didn't just die... he became the very monster that he killed. And knowing what she did, Rose makes a life altering decision to leave school to go kill Dimitri, even if it means being killed in the process.
Alright so after that little recap I would just like to say that I absolutely loved this book until the ending. HOW CAN YOU KILL HIM! THAT IS SO WRONG! I understand why Mead did this but she was very cruel in getting your hopes up then crushing them. Overall I give this book a 9.5 out of 10. -.5 because I didn't want Dimitri to die....
Well that's that, thanks for reading.

Frostbite Review (Book 2 of Vampire Academy series) *spoilers*
Spoilers!
Ok so I just finished reading Frostbite last night and it was soooo good. I wouldn't necessarily say it was amazing but definitely a great addition to Vampire Academy. This book caught my attention from Chapter one and held it till the very last word. It was so nice to get to see Lissa spend some quality time with Christian and to watch them get closer and closer. All the while watching Rose struggle with her feelings for Dimitri. Rose both wanted to keep Dimitri away and to hold him close, causing inner conflict expressed throughout the novel. And when a new woman comes into Dimirti's life, Rose is forced to sit by and watch as her love spends his days with her, speaking in casual tones and having playful banter. As the story develops you see as Mason-Rose's best friend- shows his feelings for Rose at their true strength. Rose begins a relationship with Mason that is soon seen to be nothing but a cover for her feelings towards Dimitri. When Rose and Dimitri leave the school for an important test they come across a horrific scene, leading to life altering news that will forever change the world they live in. And when Rose's mother comes to town Rose is faced with the shadows that she has lived in her entire life. When the school leaves for winter break and heads to a ski resort, things become stranger as they go. Then when a notorious royal becomes interested in Rose and Lissa, Dimitri tries to stop it without revealing his feelings for Rose. And in the rising action of the story hearts race as you see Rose and Mason get into a fight and in turn, Mason make a potentially deadly mistake. When Rose discovers Mason has left the resort on a mission to kill Strigoi-along with Eddie and Mia- Rose enlist the help of Christian to save them from the worst of fates. Then when the group is captured by humans, their worst fears are realized, humans are working with Strigoi. When captured and unconscious Rose finds that Lissa is not the only one who uses spirit. After countless days and hours of torture, giving the group no sustenance, and having to watch as Eddie is drank from every day, Rose has a plan. Giving a signal to Christian the group manages to break free and tie up the humans. And when Rose and Mason go to scout they come face to face with the real threat, Strigoi. The novel takes a heart wrenching turn and in the end leads to a powerful and open ending.
Overall Frostbite receives no criticism and can be said to be a 'forget your kids' sort of novel.
So I know that was realllllllly formal like but I wanted to try it out, please, let me know what you think. Either good or bad I don't care just give me some feedback.
