My sore throats don't usually last, but this one sure has. I probably shouldn't have gone to Nikki's birthday party in this condition, given that the first half consisted of playing in the park, getting mud soaked through my jeans and playing Red Rover for the first time in my life, but it was tons of fun. I'm bad at breaking through people because ( Read more... )

I wrote long, rather amusing (at least to myself) entry that rather made up for my periodic absences, but it vanished. So I'm going to make a list instead.

1) There's a fellow National Merit Finalist at my school who took AP Calculus her senior year and AP Literature her junior year and just generally has a more advanced schedule than my own, as ( Read more... )

I have been giggling wildly for the last fifteen minutes straight.

Have I mentioned that I have the greatest girlfriend ever? Because, really, tremendous quantities of SHAME on me if I have not.

Another thing about taking six APs? The exams are really freaking expensive, especially when your primary caregiver's current income is zero.

Ergo, financial aid = love. I am paying $175 for all my exams put together. *glee*

On the twelfth day of Christmas, ( Read more... )

I keep meaning to post; I even have semi-interesting things to post about. I just lack the time. This week has been bizarre, schedule-wise. I missed on Monday for the Pomona visit, then spent Tuesday desparately trying to catch up, then had no school Wednesday, then didn't get home until eight at night on Thursday, then left early Friday because it ( Read more... )

School this year isn't quite as quote-worthy as last year. AP Literature, Journalism, and AP Environmental Science are all flush with humor, but nothing really stands out as worth writing about. Except my AP Lit teacher encouraging us to produce a 'kick-donkey essay.'

Yesterday I drove on the freeway. It was spectacularly easy to the point of being ( Read more... )

Reasons I am happy today:

1) I finally have a completed schedule. I didn't have to drop Journalism, but I did have to drop Spanish, which is...sad, but better. Catching up on math was surprisingly easy, though I guess the quiz coming up will show how caught up I really am. I'm no longer in Weight Training, which is lovely, and next semester I'll be ( Read more... )
