A Realization

Today wasn't a bad day.  I got a little before noon, worked out, went to the doctor's, read a book, and baked cupcakes with Emaline.  A nice, normal summer day.  Without my brother, who is going to be gone the next three weeks.

However, something dawned on me.  We have a little over a month of summer left.  And with that comes all the summer work that I still need to do.  And...it's A LOT.

There's:

• QB work
• APUSH packets
• AP Lit reading
• Running and practices for field hockey
• My sketchbook for art
• My projects for art (at least three of them)
• the fact that my dad is getting surgery on Wednesday, so I'm going to be doing all his typing for him, since he'll only have one hand.

It just feels like SO MUCH.  And it's been hard to do a lot earlier.  I've been gone a couple weeks.  Ugh.

I'M STRESSING OUT!!!!

Summer's been busier, and more fun than I thought it'd be.  But I have all this QB and AP work to catch up on.  And hockey mileage to put in.  Oh, and planning for AugNo.  So much to do, and I'm on vacation instead...

I'm camping with someone who speaks Spanish.  Maybe I'll brush up on my skills (what skills?).

It's supposed to rain part of the week.

However, I get to go home at least a day early.

Oh, and this whole trip isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

No, Samantha, this is not a pre-set post.  As you can tell by my facebook, I have creepy access to internet all the time.

On a side note, I feel like playing sardines at IKEA.  And shopping.  I need office furniture, dammit. Too bad Mackinaw Island has no IKEA.  Shame.

There are Diseases, You Know

John Green should write a new novel: "An Abundance of Cool."  Because Bianka and I are just that.  So completely awesome.   You know why we are?  Because we go to B-Dubs.  And you know why else?  Because we go to the library afterwards.

And because we are currently talking.  Via facebook chat.  Yet, next to each other.  Well, we are at the library after all.  You're supposed to be quiet in here.  So, SHHHHH!!!

Bianka and I will be going for ice cream too, at some point.  She just doesn't know it yet, apparently.  Or maybe we'll go for a run.  Well, Axel and I will.  She'll just sit and watch, because that's what she'll do.  I prefer to run with a eight-inch metal rod over a person any day.  Well...maybe not.  I'm not sure if Axel is really much of a talker.  Maybe Bianka knows.  They're attached at the hip!  (Not exactly, more like the spine.)

AP Scores

So...all that freaking out about AP scores?  Not worth the stressing.  What is done, is done.  And I certainly managed to benefit from Volansky, somehow.  And of course Ms. Bryen. I dones goods.

"C" is the Way it begins

"C" is the way it begins, 
and "H" is the second letter in
"I" is the middle of the word
and "C" you've already heard
"K" is a kind of hen
and "E" you are nearing the "N"
C-H-I-C-K-E-N
That's the way you spell "chicken."

This is part of a song from Chicken/Rufus Raftus Johnson Brown, a song that always is stuck in my head at camp.  It's not particularly a favorite song, but it's catchy.

I'm supposed to be either leaving for camp tomorrow, or already be there-I have done so for the past seven summers.  But I'm not.  And it's weird.

 I have all this extra time now.  A couple extra weeks of summer at home.  It sucks.  Here's to camp and all the wonderful people there, all the wonderful times.  I'll be back soon, Cedar Lodge.

Rufus Raftus Johnson Brown, oh whatcha gonna do when the rent comes around?  Whatcha gonna do or whatcha gonna say, can't make the rent 'til the break of day.  You know and I know and everybody else knows you can't pay the rent if you ain't got the dough.  Rufus Raftus Johnson Brown, whatcha gonna do when the rent comes around?

Summer is:

• fun
• crazy
• fun and crazy busy
• filled with books (will grayson,will grayson!)
• full of drawing
• running for field hockey (I cut my three mile time down by four minutes, twenty seconds!)
• all about too much time on the internet
• focused on Samantha (yeah, right.)

Yeah, summer is awesome.   I even like the running (WTF?!?!)

But I have to go to bed early, it's not even 2AM...sigh...

I'll never know how to do some things.

But I'm learning to do things that I never thought I could.

Perhaps not properly.  But...my way's better.  It's my own.

I'm sorry.
