This may not sound exactly exciting to most people, but I just reached 200 pageviews. I am totally doing the happy dance right now ^.^ I thought that the most I would ever reach would be 50.
With that news being said, sorry for the lack of an update for a week or so. My schedule has been crazy. This update is probably going to be a little long, so bear with me here.
Goodness, where to start? Well I guess my trip to Kings Island with the beau was pretty amazing. My inner ginger got fried, but I guess that's life. Watched fireworks there to the song "Fireworks" from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Being my usual nerdy self, I was beyond excited to hear that.
If you guys recall that super moon thing, for me well.... it wasn't so super. From where I was, the outcome wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be. In fact, I think I've seen a bigger moon than that a month ago, but I guess that's just what I think about that. My boyfriend was able to join me on a date to watch the super moon, but instead we were engrossed on the twinkling fireflies out in the woods. It seriously looked like my trees sparkled. It was truly magnificent.
As some of you may know, one of my very good friends was in an accident about 5 months ago. He is paralyzed from the chest down, but let me tell you, he's still as ornery as ever. Well he had a benefit two days ago, and it was an absolute blast. He showcased his new found talent of popping wheelies on his wheelchair. Needless to say, everyone had a good time there. Got to dance quite a bit with my friends and my drama director. (Ok, so she isn't just any drama director. She is THE drama director, and you probably have never met a teacher like her. We swear that she has this secret life as a rock star outside of school. She keeps up with the modern music just like a 16 year old would. lol Sorry, that had to be said in order for you to understand the whole scenario.)
The last bit of great news that I have to share with you is that I have a job interview tomorrow with Aeropostale. I am beyond excited for this and I'm really hoping that I get the job. So pray, cross your fingers, do what you do to really send the good thoughts for this job.
This summer so far has been everything I have hoped for. Probably the best summer that I have had. Yeah I haven't been able to go on vacation or see any cool concerts like I did in the past years, but this has been thoroughly enjoying. I have made\ a new best friend, cried, laughed, hurt (definitely with the sunburn), and just lived life for the past month. Can't believe that It's halfway over.
So, my lovely readers, how has your summer been so far? Comment below and tell me all about it. ^.^

I'm so excited..... and I just can't hide it
My dear readers, --the very few that you are-- I have some pretty good news for you guys today. Remember how I talked about filling out applications? Well I received a call from the Admissions Officer at the Art Institute of Cincinnati. I know that this is a very very small step in my sojourn, however it has my spirits up about college. The officer called to set up an appointment to talk to my family on a one-to-one basis about applying for the college and doing a tour. If any of you have gone to the Art Institute, I will be applying to the Media Arts Animations course.
On top of all of that, I placed calls to jobs around the area. Apparently hiring managers don't like to come to work until Thursday. Keep your fingers crossed for me to find a job. God knows I need to save all of the money I can to pay for college.
Do you guys have much experience on what I'm going through right now? Comment below and tell me about your experience in job hunting and college visiting.
I will probably update you guys on what's going on Thursday. Tomorrow is a relaxation day for me, and I'm heading to Kings Island to fulfill my adrenaline junkie needs.

The Beginning of the End
While I was job hunting today (I have been hunting for more than a month now), the thought dawned on me: I have to apply to schools. I have to take the ACT and I have to apply for scholarships. Then another thought dawned on me. Crap, how am I going to get those scholarships, what's so special about me that the person in charge of giving the scholarship would give me that money. Heck, I'm worried about just paying for college.
I started my night by searching for a few colleges that I want to go to. A few have caught my eye, but I'm hoping that one of them will actually find me interesting enough to bring me on to their group of freshies the fall of 2014.
I am stressed out beyond belief. I know that I'm starting early with this whole application process, but I don't want to be the one who is turning in things at the deadline. While doing the math, I will be paying at least 50k for 4 years of college. That may not sound like a lot to many of you, but to me, it makes me feel hopeless about college. I know for sure that I want to go, I'll work 4 jobs if I have to just to do it, but I don't want to be up to my ears in student loans.
*Deep breath* Well, what do you guys think? Do you have any advice on how to chill it out when it comes to senior stresses? Tell me about your experiences with this craziness.

Welcome to this craziness
So I have caved into society. As much as the mini hipster inside me wanted to protest this, I decided to start a blog. I'm sure the MTV show Awkward. has inspired young 'uns to blog, cause I know that it tipped me over the fence.
To start this little thingy off, (cause I honestly don't know how to start this dang thing) My name is Hannah and I would like you to get to know me before you join me on this journey. My cyber friends know me as the Graphicgeek. I am starting my senior year in high school next fall, and I'm completely mortified to grow up. A little part of me wants to still be in third grade and sit in my little corner reading Harry Potter and coloring with my crayons. Like every other artistic high school student, I have big dreams. I want to someday become an animation and special effects artist, and if that doesn't pan out for me, I want to do special effects makeup for film and theater. The music taste I have is pretty straightforward. I pretty much love anything that has shredding metal guitar in it. I love 80s pop and hair bands, and there is an occasion where I will listen to more peaceful things like Mumford and Sons, Phillip Phillips, and Florence and the Machine. My all time favorite band is Dream Theater. (I have been a fan of them since I was probably 4
years old ) I'm a bit quirky, and completely socially awkward, but I'm kinda okay with that. I'm fine with sitting in my corner reading my books and keeping to myself, because, frankly, that's what has kept my grades at a 4.0 level. Before you go and judge, no I'm not one of those self righteous know it alls. In fact, I have many flaws. Like Michelle Phan says "I am perfectly imperfect". Well that's enough about me. If you have any questions about my general weirdness, just message me--or whatever it is that you do to contact someone on here. (Note: I may be tech savvy, but I have no idea how this blogging thing works.)
I guess this is where the rubber meets the road and I tell you all about the journey that you all are going to embark on with me. I have always kept a journal, but seldom ever kept up with it. There are maybe a few entries throughout the year, but far from being religiously kept. I am a senior this year, and I don't want to forget any of it. I want to look back, and read this twenty odd years down the line and laugh, cry, and smile at the ups and downs. You all are going to join me on my little adventure of my last year in high school--that is if you still are willing to be with me after all of this minutia. I will document my experience through supposedly the glory year of high school, and there will be little that I will leave out. Knowing my personal life, however, there wont be many gruesome deets.
Whelp, here it goes. Welcome to my little corner of the Cyber Space, and I hope you make yourself nice and comfy with popcorn and other yummy pleasures, cause this is gonna be a long year.
