Almost There

Finally taking time to blog some more.  It’s fun, blogging.  I really should do it more often, but it takes up so much time, thinking of what to say and how to say it.  One of my goals is to stop putting so many, “I”s in my writing.  It’s really hard for me. ><

School is almost out.  There’s tomorrow (Friday) and then one week left.  Not even a week though.  Four of five days next week are half days for finals.  I really should be cramming and whatnot, but it hasn’t quite hit me yet.  School seems like it’s going to last forever but end quickly at the same time and finals seem an eternity away.  I did some studying for history and math (taking them next Thursday) but not so much for Biology (taking it on Tuesday.)  Otherwise, I haven’t done too much.

I’ve finished my Spanish oral/writing part (probably bombed the writing, but I did fine on the speaking) and the writing for English.  I probably bombed that too, but I don’t care too much right now.  My mind has been plagued with end-of-school-itis.  Sucks for me.

In the past summers, for most of my life, my parents have sent me to every camp they could fit into my summers and set aside a week or two for a family vacation.  This year I’m only going to CTY (super luff <3), possibly a week of band camp, and we’re spending a week in Disney.  This leaves a lot of free time on my hands.  And I can’t wait.  I’m hoping to get a lot done this summer and I’ve already started making a mental list of everything I want to do.  So far I have: experiment with acrylic and/or watercolor paints, sew a few more hats, start drawing new and/or different poses in my pictures, write more, and relearn all my piano songs so I can fit them into a CD.  And I’m still not done.

Wish me luck~

AHHHHHH. 1 DAY TO D-DAY D:

1 DAY TILL D-DAY. Well, not even. Less than twenty-four hours.

At times like this, I wonder why I even signed up for this.
My biology teacher told us that because we were an honors class, everyone who got an A or B in the class would be able to do well on the Bio SAT. Of course, the class is focused mainly on molecular biology and a few concepts of bio while the effin SATs are more focused on organisms… Honestly, who cares about slime molds? And I digress. Anyway, my point is that I blame my bio teacher for suggesting this awful test in the first place. Oh well, at least it doesn’t have to get sent in.

I let myself back on deviantArt though. It’s relaxing to just look at other people’s art. I must admit, he last few weeks have been rather taxing on me. All this stuff is putting a lot of pressure on me and I don’t deal too well with pressure. It got so bad that I actually got a bit hysterical on the bus today and broke down, but I’m okay now. Oh, and I started actually enjoying studying for during the past two days (which is definitely a sign the pressure is getting to me.) Luckily, the school year is almost over.   The thought of that and CTY keeps me sane.

School

I hate heartily dislike school. Very much. And SATs too.

My work load is mounting up, higher and higher. It’s going grow so high that it falls and drowns me eventually. Even though school ends in two weeks, I have more to do now then I did at anytime during the rest of the year.

The last week of school consists of half days and finals which means I have a LOT of cramming and studying to do. Teachers are cramming in everything and anything that they haven’t taught yet so we can be prepared. The Biology SAT date is coming closer and closer and I’m not getting any studying done. (My practice test scores were 400 and 500. Out of 800. So they’re not even average.) As I said yesterday, my biology teacher decides to dump a 230 point project on us to make up for all the bad ones we got. My history teacher (who can’t teach and hasn’t taught us anything) decides to make us do all the chapter questions we can possibly handle (and more) so we can ‘learn’ from them to make up for her lack of teaching. (Oh, did I mention that she was ‘misinformed’ about a project worth 50% of our final exam grade? And that because of her incompetence, she gave us the wrong due date? And that she made us cram it into two class periods? Oh, did I forget to mention that it’s worth FIFTY EFFIN PERCENT OF OUR FINAL EXAM GRADE?!) My math teacher decided to cram two chapters worth of work into less than two weeks (when it usually takes one and a half to two weeks) so she’s giving us four nights’ worth of homework in one. There’s a computer science test on sorts in Java (which I do not understand.) Anything I learned in Spanish has leaked out of what’s left of my brain and there’s a To Kill A Mocking Bird test on Wednesday.

Pure fun.

Now that I have wasted twenty minutes of life on this post and various other (pretty much pointless) activities, I should return to my schoolwork. Which I really do despise.
