You know by the sounds when the crowd is getting wild, hands swinging high like a chopper in the sk
I haven't updated in forever, I know and I do feel bad about it.
I want to say that I've been busy with stuff..or something but that seems just like a lame excuse I'm not really sure is true or not.
I got sick with strep two weeks ago (or something), which was annoying. I woke up on Saturday, felt like crap and didn't really feel any better until Wednesday, after two seeing two different doctors and being put on two different antiboitics to get rid of it. I missed three days of school, which is a really horrible idea, I just today finished up the last of my back work from being out.
I finished up the contest entry that I was going on about forever ago when I last updated. The whole thing felt kind of weird in a way looking back. It was a better experience than I had built up in my mind..but most things are like that for me anyway. It was interesting and well, even a little bit exciting. I really don't except myself to win. The entire thing was a little rushed and I don't really think I edited a lot of it as well as I should have.
We got report cards on Friday, you can see mine here. I'm mostly happy with it, only a bit upset by how my world cultures grade went down. I still don't really know what happened to it. Though to be perfectly honest, I don't really care; I'm still doing well - it doesn't matter. The class is really, really easy. Though as the year goes on I just kind of stop studying as much for things and shrugging it off more and more, which I'm guessing is probably the reason my grade went down. I kind of wanted her to move me up into honors next year, but she wouldn't (and I have no frecking idea why...I was doing really well), though I wasn't really going to argue with her about it and I don't really care. The class is easy and it doesn't really require much thought..I just kind of do it, I really didn't put much effort in at all to get the grades I did the first two marking periods, and studying for the midterm was pretty easy for the most part except for the map part which I kind of screwed up on.
I went to ikea yesterday and got a desk, which I'm pretty happy with..I'm not over the moon with the fact that it's white becuase white gets dirty quicker and I really don't have time want to clean my room all the time. I got a few other little things, new pillow cases and these boxes. I'm really glad that I have a desk now though, doing homework on my bed was starting to get annoying..and it was even more annoying when I needed a place to edit but didn't have any (hence why I spent most of my time editing at the library/during study halls). So I kind of figured it was time that I got a desk. I'm kind of hoping it means I'll write/work more over the summer, but I kind of doubt it. The only thing I really hate about this is that my new desk is going to go in place of my small bookshelf near the window and I really, really, really, can't afford to lose anymore bookshelf space considering they're all around my room in piles that are usually not so neat looking (or they're in boxes shoved in random places). To top all of that I just spent $35 on books at Target today..
I'm almost finished the school shotting short story turned novella with Ethan and Emily that I've been working on since December 18th. It's now 37,455 words long..now that I'm about 3k or so from the end I'm kind of sad. It's been awhile since I've finished anything besides
the_dead_muse entry that I did awhile ago. I kind of almost don't really want to go back to working on the novel..it kind of just makes me go 'ugh'. So, as of now I'm not really sure what I'll be doing once I finish it up (besides editing it over the summer). Before I really wanted to be done with this and I really wanted to get myself back into my novel...but now I'm really just not so sure. I really can't keep starting and stopping little bits like this..I know that I should/need to get back to working on the novel..I just don't know if I want to.I was kind of hoping over the summer (as I have no idea what I'll be doing next summer considering that there are many things floating around right now..most of which probably won't happen at all) that I could knock out a lot of the novel. Maybe almost get the whole thing done, okay, so probably not get the whole thing done..but at the very least work on it a lot. I don't know, I guess I'll just end up seeing what happens.
on another note; I'm really sick of school and in gym class we're playing kickball which, I really, really can't stand.
Also, there's a concert at the Fiala Building with Koji and Beams on the 25th. I don't really know what I'm going to do if Miriah tells me she can't go. I miss everyone like crazy, I haven't seen Carrie or Emily since school started. The band has changed a ton and I'm wondering who their new bass player is since Kelly left. I was really just starting to come around to her and like her too.
