You talk about day...I'm talking about nighttime

So, SAT? ACT? You both suck. I’ve yet to receive my ACT scores, but I’m sure that my opinion will stay the same. My SAT scores were adequate enough to get me into whatever college I like in Texas, but I’m not really happy with them. I’m scheduled to take it again in December. It’s personal.
Aside from that, things are going much better in Calculus. Kim hasn’t snarked at me recently, so it’s nice. She even has more of a reason to do so. We received our GPA’s, and she’s ahead of me by an entire point, omg. I was actually the one to deliver the news to her, and I wound up giving her a stick of cheese to keep her from squeeing all over the place. Cheese is a glorious thing.
I’m happy that English class is calming down a bit. We’re just focusing on our one uber-essay, or, as the teacher is fond of calling it, “THE MOST IMPORTANT ESSAY OF OUR LIVES”. Saying it like that is a great way to get a class full of honor students to raise their eyebrows, that’s for sure. I’m slightly more concerned about college applications at the moment. The deadline for A&M might say February, but I picked up a hint somewhere that they start the cut-off just after Christmas. I’m hoping to have all of this college preparation stuff out of the way by then. It will make the spring semester much happier. There is the FAFSA, but I’ve already started on that too. Yay.
I’ve been psyching myself up for NaNoWriMo. I don’t actually have one big project to do, but I do plan on finishing my novel. Then I would like to write a one-shot fic that I’ve had in my head for a while, and then continue on with IiG. I made a calendar and figured out how many words per day and how many per week I’ll have to get through to make the 50,000 mark. I’ll be thrilled to make it that far, and it’ll take a sweet miracle from Jesus if I get past that. I doubt I’ll finish IiG since it has a lot to it, but it could use some progress. Progress is good.
I’ve started bringing a book with me to school since Judy isn’t always willing to chat anymore. She’s exhausted when she comes to school because she works at nights. I hope she passes her college courses. I know she’s doing okay in the high school ones. Hm. Whenever we’re in the library, she usually curls up on the floor and goes to sleep. No one minds because she sleeps under one of the tables and out of everyone’s way. I let her use my awesome new trenchcoat as a blanket, and she’s out.
Actually, I miss her company a lot. To some degree, I don’t think she feels the same way about that. She sees her friends up at where she works far more than she does me, overall. We never talk after school on the phone anymore, or on the weekends either. I was discussing something with her and she wound up snapping that we don’t see things the same way very often. I think we do. I also think she was tired when she said that. I could ignore that, but when we had a few hours to hang out up at the Fall Festival Friday evening, I was a bit disappointed that she stayed on her cell phone for the majority of the time or just wandered off entirely. I stayed around Kim’s parents more than anything, it seems. They’re cool people.
I might be random and talk a lot online, but when I’m off in the real world, I speak very rarely. I’m shy, quiet, and just generally stick to whatever thoughts are in my own head. Judy is typically the exception to this, but I’m starting to get that way around her too. I can only try so many times to strike up a conversation. Ah well.
I was thinking earlier about all the things I want to do with my life. There’s far too much, of course, but I don’t see the harm in attempting it all. It ought to keep things interesting. I will invent a liquid sleep drink so that fifteen minutes of sleep will equal a full night’s worth. Side effects will be mild. Yes. And then I will be rich and be able to do whatever I want because everyone wants more time, and sleep is just so time-consuming. I will be able to afford to build my house somewhere secluded, like in the mountains, where I can see the stars at night. I need an observatory. To this day, I have not looked through a telescope. Ah heh. Anyway, moving on.
I think I’ll make a note to take a few neuroscience courses. ^^;
I finished playing Katamari Damacy today. That game is such bright, colorful crack. I love rolling people up because they scream or make weird noises and I know that they’re doomed to burn in the sky for billions of years. Squids too. Mwah ha.
Hm. I think I’m going to go make a Christmas list for my parents to go by. I’m saving my money so that I can go places and visit people next year, so no more buying random things for myself. …You know, not as often as I used to. ^^; At least I won’t have to worry about food. Mom says that she’s going to make dinner plates for Judy and me so that we can just freeze them and microwave ‘em whenever we want. That’s one less bill to worry about. At least for my freshman year. =9
Also, if anyone has an mp3 of the instumental version of "Cells" by The Servant, I would love you to bits if you could send it my way. ^^
