aww thats nice! good for you! yeah we have something similar at my school, we have to get "CAS" hours (creativity/action/service) to graduate and we have to do a CAS project by spring of senior year. luckily i already did mine B) XD i was so relieved when i got the idea; basically my friend wrote a play for a competition and i read it and really liked it, and it spreads awareness about a lot of issues like homophobia and depression, but mainly suicide. so we decided to try and put it on as a student led production, and it was a LOT of work since we were co-directing AND acting AND writing in it XD we also had to basically add a bunch more to it to make it longer which was stressful lol. ANYWAYS but it was nice, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention kind of "endorsed" us in a way, i mean basically one of their representatives came to see the show and talked to the audience :P it was really nice, and it made me a lot more aware of the issue.

ugh i knoooowww XD not gonna lie, it does stress me out, like a lot XD and sometimes my way of dealing with that is either talking about it in a conversation that goes nowhere or just avoiding it completely, both not very good coping mechanisms :E but eh hopefully i'll get myself on track XD yeah true, but junior year is definitely a lot to deal with too, and plus you'll be in my shoes in a year ;) xD you'll be great though :))

well i took it in June without studying, and i did okayish considering i didnt study like at all XD i mean i had taken the SSAT and PSAT before, but not the SAT yet. im taking it again in august and probably again in octobor since im nost likely not applying anywhere early decision. i mean you might as well start early, get it over with. dont wait like me XD i mean i guess i was working on my CAS project a lot towards the end of last year and focusing on exams, and plus i know im not the best test taker so im not at all striving for a perfect score XD but something high enough will suffice for me :P i will need to be stronger in other areas that i personally think are more important anyways, like the essays and the academics, and more specifically, my audition material for music schools :P and yes i hope so :P oh wow really? interesting, i kinda want to live on campus. i mean, obviously its nice to sleep in your own bed and stuff and be in the comfort of your own home, and i love cooking so i'd miss the kitchen XD but i feel like for me i want to live away and have that experience. and thank you :P <3

okay, good to know! as far as i know i'll be home almost all day for the next few weeks. i wanted to go to LA to visit family and colleges, but idk if thats gonna happen anymore :E i guess i'll see :P maybe friday we could chat? :)) <3
