Well guys, it's my first day of school. As in, online COLLEGE classes.
For all of you public schoolers who're like, "Dude, she's sixteen!! HOW IS SHE TAKING COLLEGE CLASSES?!?!" The first two years of college are basically review of high school, so chill out. If I need to take a class for something I didn't cover in my VERY SHORT homeschooled high school career, I'll let you know. (-_-)
So anyways, COLLEGE CLASSES. Yes, they're online. Yes, I was assigned to this lady who's gonna be my 'coach' who helps me keep everything together and scheduled and all that, and I'm gonna be talking to her today at 4:30.
That's not stopping me from FUH-REAKING AYY-OUT!!!! Read that out loud if you didn't get it. If you're don't understand Southern accents....then never mind, haha.
Side not, got nothin' against Southern people, love 'em to death actually, but ya gotta admit, they like to add unneeded syllables to their words. But then again, everybody does that sometimes. :D
So yeah. I'm a bit nervous. Sooo if you don't hear from me after this post....I want to be buried in a casket that's spring-loaded with confetti so that one day, I can make an archaeologist's day REALLY interesting. ;D
Or I wanna be cremated so that my ashes can be 'spread over the water'.
^Only some people will get the ashes reference. ;)
Okay, so I probably won't die. It'll probably be a lot easier than I think and I will probably have a lot of fun this year. I'm determined that this year is gonna be much better than my previous school years, and I'm gonna excel so that I can pursue what I feel like God's calling me to be.
Thanks for bearing with me, guys, while I'm freaking out and hyperventilating and etc. And have the best school year you've ever had. That goes for both of you homeschooled and public schooled kids. :) Be the light God's called you to be, to your friends, family, classmates, everybody you come into contact with. You never know when a simple act of kindness will save someone's life.
God bless you guys, and have a great school year!

So, Who's Started School Yet?!?!
So, I have all of these friends who're starting school. Some of them started a week ago, some started this past Monday, some start today, and then others start like, in September.
Well, I have exciting news. I start online college classes the 3rd of September!!!! Of course, most of all you already know that, haha, but hey, I'm still trying to get over the nervousness and posting about it helps!!!
Give me a moment....
AWOJBFJHGRMYNLJGt.jweotlnsbgkgrthljHIJEGNTWRBAJ<mnzVBHEJT;KL.QJJAHJGBMNTBQJAKNFBAL.BNJ/;ALB,GNHMAFBNKLZDVMBLKEM;AHNFGKA.K KGHENAJKEJRGHN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you. Anyways, how's school going for you public schoolers? You homeschoolers? Some of you crazy homeschooled kids didn't even stop for Summer Break.
Do I have any other homeschooled friends who keep accidentally texting their friends in the middle of the day and MUCH later get an angry text back that goes something like, "DUDE I WAS IN SCHOOL!!"??? No? Just me? Haha, oh well.
So, to all of the people who have started school, have a good year! I'm serious. Don't let anybody tell you you're not good enough. Don't let anybody put you down and don't let anybody stop you from reaching for your hopes and dreams and goals. Hey, the sky ain't the limit anymore! You can do ANYTHING you put your mind to.
And to all of you who haven't started school yet, have a great rest of the summer! :)
Dream big, guys. Reach for the stars, push yourself as hard as you can, and don't let anybody crush your dreams. God gave them to you for a reason, and above all, don't forget to stay prayed up and read your Bible. This school year, while you're learning new things and making new friends, don't forget to get to know God better too, because He really wants you to succeed and loves you, more than anybody else.
God bless you guys!! Love ya!! :)

Can't Believe that the Year is Already more than Half Over......
Guys, can you believe that it's already JULY?!?!?! The year's gone by WAY too fast. Not to mention, so has summer. Lemme see...
Camp, for one, was amazing. Life changing. I felt like I had left something behind, and then realized that I had. It was that old dead stuff that we all carry spiritually, and I'd (spiritually) burned it away at the altar. I also felt a heavy burden for my city and my unsaved loved-ones, and I decided that I'd start really praying for them and watch what God would do.
Oh yeah, and the preaching and teaching we had during the morning and night sessions were absolutely PHENOMENAL!!!! I can't wait for next year. God truly did something in each and every camper's lives this year, and it was amazing to watch and feel it too. :)
I also got to hang out with some of the coolest people around. And freak out some guys accidentally. Who knew that double-jointed elbows could gross out a bunch of guys? I guess I'm just weird. :D
Oh yeah, and went to the grandparents' house on my momma's side. That was pretty great, we went shopping, went to the farm, rode on an ATV, had some of the BEST rolls you will ever taste in your entire LIFE, and to top it all off, we had some good music provided by yours truly and some of the other members in her family. :)
This summer has probably been one of the busiest summers of my life, but it's also been fun. Exhausting? Yes. But it's been awesome. Can't wait to see how the rest of it turns out!
Oh yeah, and one more thing....I'M STARTING COLLEGE CLASSES IN THE FALL!!!!! (O.O)
Pray for me, guys. I'm scared to death, haha. They're online college courses, but still. I'm scared outta my mind, haha!!
Hope you guys have a great summer! Keep smilin'. :)
God bless ya!!

Storms, Rain, and Other Forces of Nature........
Well, guys, I'm gonna update today just because I ain't gonna be here next week to write another blogpost, 'cause I'll be AT CAMP!!!!!!!!!
adefgbhtuij34nwasflokijbh3QEGROI348YU672498UJHBKNGUWGH9gubjnt3rquhsbvg12rjn
Anyways. It's been raining and storming a lot, the perfect kind of weather to curl up and:
1. Read a book
2. Play a video game
3. Surf the internet
4. Listen to music and think about life
or,
5. Write a book
I've mainly been doing all of those things, off and on haha.
But I noticed something kinda crazy. I absolutely love 'bad weather'. Blizzards, storms, etc. bring it on!!!! I especially love to dance in the rain, or simply sit still and feel the drops of water fall on my face and soak me to the skin. There's just something so cleansing about it.
It's kind of like when we're going through hard times in life. Most people absolutely hate it. But we can either hate it and wish it away, and just 'get through it', or we can learn to enjoy it and dance in the rain. Because good times are great and all, but come on. It's how we react when we're under pressure that really makes us who we are and builds up our character. It's how we learn how to truly trust in God and praise Him when it's hard, and, as my pastor put it, "sleep in the boat while the storm's raging".
So next time you're going through an especially hard time in life, just remember: Rain cleanses.
And if the pressure feels like it's getting to be too much, pray to God for strength. Motto to live by: "God's got dis!" There's no force of nature greater than someone who is really pushing to get a hold of Jesus Christ, and hey, He created nature. Who better to run to for help than The One who created everything in the first place?
Hope I could lift you awesome people up with that thought. Have a great summer, and I will try to remember to blog about how camp was in terms that don't include something like this:

It's June and I'm Excited
Well, for just about EVERYBODY school is out. People are going to camps and are away on vacation, chillin' at the pool and a million other things that people do during the summer.
Me? I'm packing for church camp next week, writing, trying to get back in shape, listening to music and chilling in my basement. Fun stuff, chilling in the basement. It beats the way-too-humid weather outside right now, haha.
Oh, and we had our IL Bible Quizzing State Finals. We got 2nd. Which means we're going to Bible Quizzing Nationals down in Louisville, Kentucky in August!!!!!!!! Yeah. I'm excited. And then there's North American Youth Congress right after it.
You know what? 'Excited' is actually an understatement to how I feel about this summer. It's already been pretty awesome, and I can't wait to see what else is gonna happen.
Oh yes, and because it's June, I need to kick my procrastinating backside into high-gear and make sure that the book I wrote for NaNoWriMo last November is ready for publication......
Love you guys and God bless!!!!
--Sonya :)
P.S. Have an AWESOME summer, people. :) <3

Writing Shtuff......:)
Well, I can't wait until school's done. Gahhhh, parents won't be nagging at me to get up and whether or not I've finished my schoolwork, I really cannot wait for that.
Anyways, been working on various projects, school assignments like writing books for history. Extremely fun, actually, except when it comes to writing a fictional short story about someone during one of the plague-outbreaks of the Middle Ages. YEECHH it's disgusting, what some of those diseases did to a body. Word of advice, unless you have an insanely strong stomach, DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT look up '*insert plague name here* victims' on Google Images.
So anyways, yeah, it's gross. But hey, I get to kill people, right? So there are pluses and minuses....
People, before you reach for that phone and report me to whoever puts people into insane asylums or whatever, do not check me into a clinic, I'm fine. I'm only writing about it, not actually going out and killing people. Good grief, calm down....
Anyways, been writing my other projects (the ones I actually dream up, haha, not the school ones) and jammin' out to TFK. If you need some intense tunes to write to, or just need some new tunes in general, and you happen to like Christian Contemporary/Rock, check 'em out. Pretty sure I've already mentioned them, but who cares? :)
Oh, them and Owl City. His stuff is pop/electronica/synthpop/indietronica music. Epic? You bet it is. Perfect for getting your imagination juices flowing through your brain, haha!!!
Ugh. It's the middle of the week. Wednesday. Don't worry, guys, WEEKEND IS COMING, AND SO IS SUMMER!!!!
Well, until the next time!
Sayonara!!!

It. Is. MAY!!!!
With May, there's supposed to be flowers, sunshine, great weather, and basically just SPRING. The funny thing is, it has been winter, summer, fall-ish weather and spring all within like, the past week! We have had frost, heat waves, and rainy chilly weather in the past week! And to all my friends from MN, snow about two feet one day, and then suddenly you've got 103 degrees the next!!
But hey, that's weather for ya. And it's been pretty nice out recently, nice enough for me and my sister to start doing daily 15-20 minute jogs/walks.
Another thing about May: school is almost over!!!!!!! For some, it ends the last week of May, others, the first/second week of June.
Which means studying for finals, looking for summer jobs, scrambling to make sure you got your schoolwork for the year done (can I get a "hoo-rah!" from all my fellow homeschoolers?) and of course, getting ready for having a great time this summer.
My summer plans include Bible Quizzing State Finals/Nationals (if we make it haha), Church Camp (SO EXCITED AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!), catching up on sleep, and one of the biggest UPCI youth events ever: YOUTH CONGRESS!!!!!
What're your summer plans? Hit the pool with some friends? Go on vacation? Go to camp? Sleep?
Whatever they are, I hope you have a great summer. And to all of you who're still slogging through school, thinking summer will never come.....STAY STRONG!!! SUMMER REALLY IS COMING!!!!! :)
Ciao!!!
