i finally just sucked it up and finished my correspondence courses (the lessons, anyway). it was absolutely ridiculous how many essays i had to write for government - i wrote like three times as much for gov as for english! i probably should have done it from Texas Tech instead of UT - apparently UT is harder. aaaaaaaaanyway...
now i have to take the finals, but that shouldn't be too bad. after all, this is the time for test-taking! got my compsci AP tomorrow, calculus BC the day after, and english lit the day after...then vergil last. surely i can fit in gov and eco finals in there with the rest.
and after that...there's my brother's wedding. that should be fun. i'm going to be organizer of sorts, plus usher and MC and maybe a couple of other things (like best man, for instance). they've got a good playlist worked up and everything. vegetarian food, slideshow, cake, color scheme, you name it.
and after that...i'm not dealing with that yet. take it a couple weeks at a time. maybe i'll write my speech for graduation. maybe i'll buy a decent computer for my graduation gift from my bro - Sins of a Solar Empire. it looks really cool, but i'll definitely have to get a new computer. and i won't let myself start until my actual school stuff is pretty much done with for the year, anyway. i know how easy it is to let myself spend every waking moment immersed in a new game.
then i'll spend the summer getting my wisdom teeth out, hanging out with friends, getting in decent shape for italy, probably playing Sins of a Solar Empire, sleeping, reading, and preparing for college: talking to roommates, going to orientation, getting furniture, moving, going to New Mexico just for the hell of it, buying clothes (ew), and so on. it'll be busy. kinda like college.
it should all turn out pretty well, though. no worries. just stay chill, and everything falls into place with a little nudging. it worries me a little how much people seem to have no direction in their lives - actually, scratch that. it worries me that people think they should have direction in their lives, but don't. either get one, or just go with the flow! all most of you need is to direct the flow a little here and there, and it all turns out fine. listen to some uplifting trance and stop dwelling on your problems; fix them or leave them, and then move on. it'll do you a world of good.
