Losing My Blog-ginity.

It's true, I've given into the blogging trend. It's a little pathetic, I know.
1. I don't write in a diary anymore. But I used to love it.
2. I've started 'crafting'. And I like to brag. (:
3. My life has been CRAZY lately. Even though I'm still in high school. If I don't write it down (hence numero uno) I might forget one day.


Back in December I was chosen as the FACS Sterling Scholar. Let's be honest here, I was the only one that applied.  So then I started putting together this monstrous portfolio full of all of my academic, leadership and citizenship experiences and accomplishments. I'm not that impressive, my portfolio wasn't exactly as full as I would have liked. :) Then the school sends everyone's portfolios to a group of judges, and they have about at month to read all about you.

On February 16th I went down to an interview, but before that I put together a pretty awesome book full of all my crafting experiences (more to come later), and an awesome outfit to wear. I only had a 10 minute interview to convince them I was their girl after they'd had a book about me for about a month. My interview went pretty terribly, if I do say so myself. I stood the whole time (I'm pretty sure I should've been asked to be seated) I started talking before they could introduce themselves, and I failed at reading any of the interview tips they'd given me. (don't tell, but I think my skirt was even crooked the whole time.) But good news!!! I was one of the five finalists from my region, and one of two finalists from my school.  You can read more about it Here and Here. That's right, yours truely is practically famous. ;)

p.s. In case you were wondering, the name of my blog came from the 90's cartoon Rocko's Modern Life. Which I loved as a little kid. :)
