Legally an adult now! Man, that sounds weird.

So the end of term is next week. Lots of tests, no sleep, lots of essays. Last Thursday I stayed up until 3 writing a paper due Friday and trying to get as much homework done before I passed out, only to come into school Friday and learn half my teachers were missing and nothing was due until Tuesday. Had a birthday party with friends the same Friday, and slept until 1 PM the next day.

Right now we're basically prepping up for Chinese New Year's. Cleaned out the curtains and stuff yesterday, and got all the groceries. Tomorrow will be more cleaning an essay-editing. I should probably get my hair cut soon.

Back to studying. Just need to get through next Friday...

Submitted the first round of applications last night! *punches fist in the air*

Six supplements to go. I got this.

Oh, and uh, happy new year. xD
Resolutions? Do better in physics, that's about it.

Half of my supplements done!
Common App done!
Personal essay done!
BAM.

*latches on to a pillow* sleep, I've missed you so much.

So I've been off as of last Friday for Christmas break, which means a solid two weeks of just college applications and not having to get up before dawn. Getting my head together for the show was a nightmare. Between coughing my lungs up and everything going to pieces, I think things were managed okay, but I'd be glad never to do that show ever again. The concert went well, all things considered. We had a day-long field trip that day and got back to school at about 4, and I basically spent the time between then and the concert sleeping in the senior locker room while Eileen tried to keep me conscious. Between the show and the concert, I was down at the Brown University Latin Carol (and you should all go, because there is seriously nothing cooler). Aside from that I've basically been trying to get by school running on very little sleep and way too much homework. We got the Christmas tree and decorations up a few days ago, so all that's really left is wrapping stuff and lots of cooking. Goals for vacation include college apps, learning physics, and hopefully cleaning my room at some point.

I'm alive!

So quick recap: I had a whole bunch of Fridays off because school's kind of awesome like that. I somehow ended up sick with bronchial pneumonia and missed last week's classes, but that's okay because we only had two days of school anyway and I'm more or less better although I have a persistent cough. I had a fever bouncing around between 99 and 106, and went to the ER Sunday night and came home a few hours later. The antibiotics made me all kinds of miserable. I spent Thanksgiving at my grandparents' and my brother made a blender's worth of whipped cream. The bathrooms at my house are currently in the process of being torn apart. College applications are in full swing. I need to make up a biology test and physics lab when I get back on Monday. Hell week begins this week. I'm missing props all over the place and my director won't email me back. My concert is two weeks from now. The end!

I won a book in English class today? xD

My English class has a running gag revolving around the phrase bonbons because of all the time we spent on Chopin's The Awakening. My English teacher went shopping yesterday and it turns out there was a book on sale titled "Angry Housewives Eating Bonbons", so she couldn't resist picking it up. She raffled it off during class today and as luck would have it, my name was drawn, so here I am. xD

In other news my music got changed again and we only have a month until the winter concert =~= I might as well save some time and duct tape myself to the piano bench right now. xD

I have a physics retake tomorrow, plus bioethics and pre-calc tests on Thursday and a bio test on Friday. You know it's the end of the term when...

Ingredients for essay writing:
- 5 cups of highly caffeinated tea
- fear of flunking
- 12 hours

Directions: mix well. Pray for decent results. Add blackberries. Staple together and hand in Monday morning.

I never want to close read poems ever again. That last one was gruesome. x_x

Anyway, not much else to report. Had a cosplay thing at anime club last week and I think my young!Walter cosplay is probably my most successful to date. Probably pulling an all nighter tonight to finish physics and bio and study for Latin. But hey, my paper's done. xD

and this:
Kai: Notice how it's 1 in the morning, we both have piles of stuff to do, and here we are talking about zombies.
Dave: stop talking to me about zombies.

Edit: Guess who scored an A! :D

Wahaha, school, stop trying to break my brain. Oh, wait.

I've been up to a few things since however long ago it was when this thing was last updated. I managed the open house for the anime club and met some cool folks, plus it was my parents' anniversary/mom's birthday so there was much rejoicing and eating and cake-ing abound. We had the National Honor Society induction last Thursday, and the school got set on fire (again, this time due to faulty wiring in the science wing) during practice, which was a nightmare. I've been up to my eyeballs in tests and homework and generally trying not to eat my own arms off. In Physics we had a project to design a model that would keep three eggs intact after being dropped from a height of 15 feet. My partner and I had an awesome model....and then we realized that we had miscalculated the volume because we had forgotten to take into account the weight we had strapped to the bottom, so we had to get rid of it, so our project flipped over and smashed to bits. I had a math quiz yesterday and my calculator malfunctioned in the middle of it *shudder*. I had to reset it in the middle of the quiz and just barely finished @_@ Anime club is getting kinda messy. We had an issue with another club because they took our room and didn't tell us, then got offended when we walked in there after school yesterday, so I need to go talk to the adviser of the other club....who happens to be my bio teacher and isn't all that fond of me. Grumble.

College stuff is going slowly. I've visited two colleges and I'm not exactly in love with either of them but I like them both well enough. I have two projects and an essay to do, so I won't be visiting anywhere this weekend. College applications....*shudder* good times x_x

On the plus side, Risa sent me her a Halloween package....with GazettE, Miyavi, and Nightmare CDs. *____* so happy~!

Good morning? It's technically morning right now.

So...last ever Heritage Day today. I'm actually a little sad about it, though I can't say I'll miss sitting on the lawn through a two-hour mass. xD

School is stressful. I'm repeating myself, but it doesn't change the fact. I wrote a crap essay for English Thursday and I'm terrified of getting it back because I know that it was possibly the worst thing I've ever written and it will do horrors to the scrappy grade I already have. All my grades are going right down the drain. Could be worse though, I guess. Basically I'm trying to figure out how to get my act together and it's not going so well.

Off to do college-stuffs tomorrow...after I figure out which campus I'm supposed to go to. OTZ

Stressed out? Stressed out.

There's just all sorts of crazy stuff going on. Primarily at some point I decided that going to bed prior to 2 AM is a huge success, and my favorite classes are the ones most likely to kill me. The first anime club meeting was yesterday with an arguable degree of success. I have a Latin project due Monday that I haven't worked on all week simply because I haven't had time to think. It's about halfway finished and drying right now, and I'll resume work on that when it isn't so floppy. I have my first AP Bio test on Monday and I'm horribly unprepared for it. Mostly I feel like an idiot for not dropping the class. I feel like an idiot for taking any of my classes because the workload is insane. I feel like an idiot for bothering with extracurriculars this year because I just don't have the time for it any more. I feel like an idiot for doing everything I'm doing right now. I stress myself out. Other people stress me out. I stay at the school library all the time now because it's the only quiet place to be. I'm tired.

First week of school a relative success! Or at the very least I'm still alive, even if my mental state is a bit off-kilter at the moment.

I'm getting through AP Bio okay. To be honest I spent most of the week in hysterics because the work load was driving me nuts, but I think I've finally gotten myself sorted out and I'm ready for the rest of the year. I love physics to death, even though I can't do half the calculations for the life of me. We all got these little graphing notebooks for labs and it's strangely fun to take notes in them. xD

On that note, I have never really appreciated sleep as much as I do this year. Mental processes start getting pretty weird around 2 in the morning.

So today my old chem teacher set the school on fire.

This fact makes my week so much better.

Doc, you rock. xD

Okay, I'm alive, sort of. School started Thursday. My locker gets stuck a lot. My homeroom is the art room which is kind of cool. I like my classes, but biology and physics will be the death of me. Oddly enough the only class that isn't bothering me at all is pre-calc, which is a complete turnaround from last year. Biology is just all kinds of stressful, and I'm just terrified of physics because math isn't a strong point with me. I love the biology teacher though. I walked into the wrong English class that day but left before anyone noticed. My bio and precalc classes are tiny, which is actually pretty cool. My physics, English, Latin, and bioethics classes are crammed to max capacity, and the Latin class keeps getting bigger because all the AP students are dropping down.

Friday was my first full day of school. The new cafeteria folks set the cafeteria on fire, so I also had my first ever legitimate fire whatever-it's-called. Good thing the fire wasn't big too, otherwise the tech closet and the cabinet full of spraypaint would have caught on fire....xD

I'm really tired. I'm really stressed out. Hello, senior year.

Schedule came out today~!

A: Free Period (Guidance Day 7)
B: AP English, Weinberg
C: Advanced Latin Rotation B, Bedard
D: AP Biology, Simms (labs days 2, 3, 4)

Anybody with me? :D

Got my stitches out today~

turns out the top stitch is the dissolvable kind, so I guess that'll hang around for a while. @_@

I will stop procrastinating and do my summer reading. I will stop procrastinating and do my summer reading. I will stop procrastinating....
