Do you know how much stress?


A Sophmore-Senior kids have to go through? I now know why my sister looked all sleepy-eyed and was cranky 24/7 during her sophmore year. Here I am, a 10th grader, and I feel like sh!t. I would be like my sister if I worked as hard as her. I need to learn how she does it.. Because my grades are seriously making me freaked out. I have 4 C's and 3 A's and do you think that's good? NO IT IS NOT. AP Euro test today. I bombed it. Once I was given the test, my mind vanished; however, the clamminess of my hands did not. I wish it was the other way around. Mr. Bornfeld says he is preparing us for the AP Exam, and if the AP Exam is harder than the whole year of AP Euro combined, I don't know how I'll pass. And I am so impatient. When will I get a 6 on my ESSAYS in his class? The highest I've gotten (on a theses statement) is a 3/5 and that's not very good. During the Euro test, we only had 15 minutes to finish 22 AP-quality multiple choice questions. I had 5 left and he said 1 minute left. I started to panic and when you panic, you can not concentrate. I felt like crying right then and there. I like to get good grades because it proves to ME that I actually try hard. I don't have low self esteem, I just like doing well. Dont get me wrong, my parents want me to get A's (especially when I have a genius as my sister. My I-got-A's-in-Ap-Euro sister). And the English tests. I laugh right now because I totally forgot we were going to have the JLC test that day and yes. Bennett lectured about the chapters when I was out having fun at good ole' Disneyland. So I didn't too well on that quiz/test/whatever. And I wish I got 100% on my vocabulary test, but I am at least happy I got -1. I really need to get off AIM, Myspace, and IMDB. I need a hiatus from all that, and hard to say.. my daily Jonas Brothers gossip. T_T My grades need love. I'm lacking sleep. I feel like a zombie. Sometimes I wish I was naturally smart. Or I just didn't have to care about my grades. That would make my life so much easier.. For now. The 2nd progress report week ends tomorrow, and my parents will see my 4 C's. I really don't want my dad to see, so I think I'm going to hide it. But my sister would want to see hers, so they would ask where mine is.. -sigh- I really want to sleep until I die. (not literally)

Two teenage sisters who had just left a holiday family photo session were identified Saturday as those killed when an Illinois state trooper lost control of his car and struck their vehicle.

Jessica Uhl, 18, and her sister, Kelli, 13, both of Collinsville, were killed in the crash about noon Friday.

The sisters were heading west on Interstate 64 near the Scott Air Force Base exit when Trooper Matt Mitchell's patrol car crossed the median and struck their car.

State police say Mitchell, 29, was responding to a vehicle crash with people trapped inside. His lights and siren were on, police said.

Another car cut in front of the trooper's car, causing him to lose control, police said. State Police Lt. Morrie Fraser said Saturday that his agency was still looking for the driver of that vehicle, which did not stop after the crash. They are hoping that a video from a dashboard camera in Mitchell's car will help identify the vehicle. Anyone with information on the car should contact Fraser at 618-223-3089.

Jessica and Kelli died at the scene. Mitchell was taken to Barnes-Jewish Hospital, where he was reported in good condition Saturday.

A sport utility vehicle also was involved in the accident. Police have not identified the man and woman in that vehicle, but said their injuries were not life threatening.

Jessica and Kelli had just left the home of their father in Mascoutah. They were taking part in a family photo shoot with about 12 other relatives on their stepmother's side, including grandparents. Jessica and Kelli had a younger half sister and a younger half brother.

Jessica, driving a white Mazda sedan, was planning to drop Kelli off at the Collinsville home of their mother, Kimberly Dorsey, before going to work at a tanning salon, one of two jobs she held while attending college.

"The girls were so sweet and kind," said their stepmother, Wendy Uhl. "Jessica loved her sister. They were a lot alike, looks and demeanor and interests."

Wendy Uhl said the State Police had briefed her husband on the accident.

"The trooper said it's a no-fault situation. It's just a tragic accident."

Jessica Uhl graduated from Collinsville High School in May. She was a good student and active in leadership positions such as the student executive board, which plans class activities such as the prom. She was living with her mother while attending Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. She wanted to, one day, work in public relations, said her longtime boyfriend, Jordan Varner.

Kelli was an eighth-grader at Collinsville Middle School.

Ashley Kusmierczak, 18, who had known Jessica since the fourth grade, said she started receiving text messages Friday about the fatal crash.

"Everyone is just so shocked and can't even begin to fathom how this happened," she said.

Kristen Deterding, 18, of Maryville, was Jessica's best friend. Kristen's younger sister, Kaitlyn Drost, 13, was Kelli's best friend. On Saturday, Kaitlyn and Kristen mourned the loss of their friends by sharing stories and putting together photo scrapbooks.

"Jessica was all about happiness," Kristen Deterding said. "She never let anything bring her down. She and Kelli were the exact same. They were always having a good time."

Dennis Craft, superintendent of Collinsville Unit 10 Schools, said that the district would have counselors on hand Monday to meet with staff and students.

Visitation for the sisters will be held Tuesday November 27th from 3 to 8pm at Kassly Mortuary in Fairview Heights. A funeral mass will be held Wednesday November 28th from 9:30 to 10:30AM at St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Collinsville.

Repost if you actually have a heart, we all need the support right now,
this has been a tragic accident. Even if you didn't know Jessica, or Kelli be respectful and pass it along, it may change the way alot of people look at life. Nobody never wanted them to go, they didnt deserve it. If you were close to either of the Uhl sisters, i'm truely sorry, i can't even imagine what its like right now for you.

I've been so lazy.

So tomorrow is the last day of Thanksgiving break and I'm extremely sad.. :[ 1 more month until the next one!
But I hate hate hate hate second semester because it has NO holidays. They should spread it out.
I'm excited because yesterday, my mom and I went shopping and we bought clothess! I was kind of sad that AE didn't have the gloves I wanted. And guess what? They played SOS in the store! I was singing and dancing to it, but my mom said, "Please Kelsey, not in public."
:]
I went up to the TV (not THAT close) and was watching the video and this man was looking at me and the TV. I guess he was wondering how I was smiling at the TV for. So he started to watch the myusic video. Haha
Well this week overall was good.
I hung out with my friends AND family. Going to Costco with my parents was very fun and happy. :P I love my family. Better than friends actually.

So anyways, this is procrastination so I need to go back to studying for Biology.. =(

And I found this list interesting so I decided to do it...

11 truths/opinions about 11 different people.
Don't name names but the truth is adamant. Pass it on.

1) Your little and spontaneous jokes make me laugh and admire you. although, disappointing you is the worst feeling in the world. weird as it is, you were my boyfriend in middle school. :]

2) it seems like we are so alike. we seek eachother for opinions, and we like to do things indirectly. although i am not as crazy as you, i feel like we are one.

3) the constant laughs, cries, and jealousy (for me) we have shared together. i havent seen you for a few years, but the bond we built feels so strong. in the summer, lets make our dreams come true. <3 i respeect you so much for understanding what i like and not avoiding me for that. 4) your opinions and suggestions make me a better person. i dont know how you do it, but whatever you tell me, it comes true or it is true. i high respect everything you say, and you truly are my best friend no matter what. i will love you forever even if we are far away from eachtoher. but that wont happen. 5) You're one of the greatest opinion-givers I know. I don't ask you for your opinion much, but when I do, it helps out a lot. keep your head up high, because you are worth so much more than you think you are. 6) I totally respect you for pointing out your flaw and saying sorry to me. that is something i wish other people could do. although the flaw was something bad, i understand where you're coming from, and i apologized to you greatly for that. and i hope that you will achieve your wish because action speaks louder than words. 7) you are a complete gooffball, but i love you for that. i like to hear what your problems are, and no. i am not right about some things i say. listen to your heart, and even if one person's heart is broken, its part of life. and annoying me in class makes me mad and laugh at the same time because your motions are a complete joy to watch. 8) you are the cutest person i have ever saw in my whole life. i dont even know you. haha 9) you guys are the worst and the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. you make me wait for so long, and when that day comes, it never happens. i finally realized that i will never meet you but i still will like you. 10) 5% of me misses our laughs and talks. but the other 95% part of me feels relieved. 11) although we get into fights and whatnot, you still are my blood. and i enjoy talked and fighting about our obsessions. you are one person i cannnot forget.

I think all of mine are very obvious. Lol


PS. I've always wondered if I will ever meet and hang out with my Highschool friends ever again?

Enchanted! <3




I'm getting really bad at updating this thing.

But fear not, I will.
I watched Enchanted today,
and it was actually good.
A bit corny at times, but I liked it. :]
McDreamy + Gisele (Amy Adams) = AWWW! Hahaah

Happy Early Thanksgiving!

I am thankful for my family and friends. I'm thankful for having a nice, homemade meal everyday, having clothes on my back, and living under one roof with my family. Most importantly, I'm thankful for having such loving people in my life. And I'm thankful I like the Jonas Brothers.
HAHA. =)

PS. Yeah, I've come to the conclusion that High School guys are dogs.
And I have enough evidence to prove it.


PPS. Do NOT bring a guy to watch this movie. He will die. Unless he likes these kinds of movies. Haha

I'm kinda sad..

I really hate to think about this, but I just realized that we have 2 more months until the 1st semester ends..
And my grades don't look so good right now.
And in December, I'm going to be getting my PSAT score back.
Ugh..

I wouldn't be this stressed if my English grade didn't drop.
='(

Bowling was fun.
But Mica, Ailinh and Sammy kinda got on my nerves.
Mica + Ailinh = Too Asian for their well being.
Sammy = I don't know. XD

Yesterday was..

PS. I'm getting that kind of hat. They're so cool. =) ^^^

FUN!
I went with my family to visit my grandma at her nursery home. That place was depressing. :[ All of the grandparents there were ill and Korean (I think my grandma was the only relatively healthy one there). I haven't seen my grandma in awhile so I was happy that I got to say hi to her.
After that, we went to visit our other grandparents and went out to eat at.. TONY ROMA'S. Man I love that place. I had bread/butter, onion rings w/ barbecue sauce, a Roma rack (ribs) with loaded mashed potatoes and corn on the cob. Hehe yummy.
And it was so random. When I got home and checked my IMs I got on AIM, Sinh IMed me saying that he was sorry and he's been talking behind my back. This is bittersweet because: It's a compliment that he was talking behind my back because he was jealous of me. I was mad because Sinh is a pretty mean person when he's jealous. I already knew he was talking behind my back, but I forgave him. Why? Because he actually had the guts to say sorry to me about it. He's trying really hard to change his habits and ways and I appreciate that to the fullest. Something I wish Christine would do..
I was also talking to Huy on AIM (and 5 other people.. lol) and we were talking about the whole Christine thing. Kayla was over at Huy's house and they were talking about who was actually right in this fight. They think Christine should apologize to me, but I'm 99% sure she won't apologgize to me. She doesn't think this is a big deal. Which is why she doesn't really give a crud. OH well.

Tonight is AMA's. The only reason I'm watching is because of THEMM. Hahaha aka Joseph, Nicholas and Paul Kevin. <3>

BLAH.


I'm happy that Thanksgiving week starts this Monday and one of my favorite Holidays is coming up, but I feel sad.. Maybe because I just looked at my grades. Especially English. Reality just hit. You know how I said I can raise it to an A in 2 months? I don't think I can raise it 18%. :[ I really hate this.. But Happy Thanksgiving to all. I'm planning on going bowling, getting a haircut, having a movie day, going to spectrum (not sure about this because I couldn't go today), going to eat dinner with my grandparents (today), shopping for winter clothes at (of course) AE, and doing a loadful of homework, studying (Euro, Bio, English. OH JOY! But thank goodness the whole week is off :]) and trying to be happy. I want to go to Urban Outfitters. I think I'm going to buy my sister some vintage t-shirts there for Christmas. But they're like 20 bucks! The most I'll spend is like 80 dollars.. XD So 4 shirts? Not bad.. -cough- I want to get a beanie/hat there too. Hehe I like Urban Outfitter's hats. Toodles.

PS. Wish me luck.

OH, and..
No progress on the whole Christine thing.
I guess we're done for good.
I still don't understand why she's acting like nothing happened.
My mom thinks she's a drama queen. And I told her Christine's habits and I told her that Christine likes to work in a fetal position and my mom pointed out that, "Since Christine sits like that, it seems like she receives no love, attention." And she's right. If only she wouuld let people in to give her love. She never opened up. Which makes me sad. For her.
Well if she enjoys having two faces on, then I'll let her be.
I just don't want to associate with her because I know when she is acting fake.
And I hate it.
