Summer headaches

Summer homework not going as awesomely as it should be. Mainly because procrastination is really really bad and my parents have told me to do tons of practice ACT and SAT tests (3 hours of testing a day! Hooray!)

And I've embarked on Camp NaNoWriMo.

Seriously.
SOMETHING must be wrong with me.

Non-sitting duck

I have been passive for too long. I did nothing really special to celebrate my "middle school graduation" or any other "major milestones" in my life. Perhaps it's because I know that the things of this world are going to pass away eventually, but something inside me still makes me want to commemorate those events, somehow.

So, I will do something really spectacular by the time I graduate from high school. You know, so I can look back fondly and not say "oh crud all I did was procrastinate and eat junky school food man oh man how am I ever going to survive college." A few tentative goals...

1) Write a novel. Yes, I haven't actually FINISHED one yet. It's terrible! But don't worry, I've got an idea and a 12-hour flight (USA to Asia, woot woot) ahead of me, so I should be okay. I hope. The Lord knows.
2) Submit something to Teen Ink. Why not?
3) Knit Christmas gifts for my real-life friends this year. I've got a month of summer time. Let the knitting begin! (small things--I haven't got the time to knit full afghans)

Perhaps more! But 3 is a good number. Cue elementary school musical song time!

Have an awesome active (therefore, non-passive) summer!

TWO MORE half-DAYS LEFT!!!

ONE MORE FINAL-ish test TO GO!!!

HUZZAH!

iSpeed Post (AND SUMMER HOMEWORK!!!)

The last monday of the school year. Kind of ominous. No, not really.

I must study for my two actual finals tomorrow, and then I have a semi-final on Wednesday and no finals on Thursday, the last day of school! Huzzah!

Alright. I should get off blogger and get going on my chemistry fact sheet. Seriously! You can do the end-of-year reflection later! (just don't procrastinate on that...or else!)

Speaking of procrastination/homework, I actually have LEGITIMATE summer homework this year!!!! And I'm happy-excited for it!!!!! So much so that I am writing out the entire word "l-e-g-i-t-i-m-a-t-e" and resorting to Clique-like double word phrases!!!! The assignment: to do a study guide on A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, and then choose another book from the list on the back of the assignment guide and write a characterization essay about it, using lots of textual supporting facts!!!!! Now, before you start thinking that I am some uber-nerd (um, not really, I procrastinate too much), I must tell you that I have never had ACTUAL summer homework before, that was ACTUALLY assigned by my school.


:-D No, smilies do not do my excitement justice. I must post:

"I haven't been avoiding you..."

Sorry for neglecting you, blog! Man, the last post was LAST YEAR! And I am writing this on the penultimate normal school day of the school year! Huzzah! This has been a very bad blog about my high school experience. For nearly all of second semester, I have been absent! I will count that as my hiatus, and then try to be more faithful during my junior year, even if it means a sentence a day. At least during every school day.

Anyway, to conclude the post, I will make the conclusion that watching episodes of As Told by Ginger on Youtube does NOT mix well with blogging.

Adios!
