Back to School? Already?

Hi all! Just a quick update on the night before school starts up again. At the beginning of the summer I kind of couldn't wait for school to start again, but now I have mixed emotions. In a way I'm glad schools starting because that means more friend time, more memories to make, drama club starting up again, and all that good stuff. But now it seems like I rushed my summer and I didn't enjoy it as much as I should've. I feel like there's more summer things to do and it actually doesn't feel like I'm going back to school tomorrow. It just feels like I have plans or something. I am dreading school because of the fact that I hardly read my books and I'm sparknotes-ing the rest. I hope it doesn't screw up my grade in my class if I don't do that great on my test and oral report. OY! I'm not even in school yet and I'm still stressing! This can't be good..

Well, I just can't wait for the fun things from school to start happening.
It should all turn out good, right? Hopefully? Maybe? I'm praying it does.

I'll let you know how my first day goes...

Until tomorrow, bye all!

The Woes of a Procrastinator

Hi all! Just wanted everyone to know that my party was so cool and I plan to do another murder mystery party again near Christmas time :) If anyone is wondering where I bought it from here's the link:

My friends Hillary, April, and Coy won the mystery by guessing that my friend Courtney was the killer. Congrats guys!
Picture Time!!









Here's the thing, I like to read. I'll admit it's not my most favorite thing to do and at times I'd rather be watching Youtube videos, but on occasion I sit down and read what I consider to be a good book. With that said I have to admit that I also hate to read. That is, I hate it when I'm forced to read a book that I would have no interest in, reading a book on a deadline, and only reading it for grading purposes. The required summer reading for my honors English class is still not done. And I have about 24 hours to get it done. I've said it before and I'll say it again and many more times after that, I am a procrastiantor. I hate being one and I wish I was a person that got everything done early and way before the due date. In my mind though, I always tell myself, "Why do it now? You have plenty of time! Just sit back, relax, and watch Gilmore Girls, or go surf the web, or take a long nap". Then a week later when my history project is due I slap something together and whine about the 'C' I got even though in my mind I know I could have done better and I could have gotten it done earlier. Even as I type I'm procrastinating. I'm supposed to be reading my books, but no I'm blogging! Ugh, I need to go to a Procrastiantors Anonymous program or something, but the meetings would probably always be put off...

Ug! Talk to you guys later..

Promise..

It's amazing to me that a week from now I'll be back in school already. Don't get me wrong, I'm one of those weird ones that actually enjoys school. It's just that I don't want to go back just yet. This is my last summer as a "child". This time next year I'm going to be getting ready for college. God, that is so scary to me.

Just a few moments ago I received a birthday card in the mail, also some E.L.F. makeup and a Ben Nye product for my 1920's birthday makeup. I'm really excited about this birthday. This is my first actually birthday party that I've had in a long time. I usually just celebrate my birthday with my mom, dad, and brother. Even though they're great, it's nice to have friends back in my life again after my horrible first two years of high school. Which I won't get into right now. I know this is a blog about a high school senior even though I keep going on about my birthday and all of that. I promise it will actually be used for what I said it would be used for. Just give it a week..promise.

My day of birth

I've always hated the date of my birthday. It's so close to when school starts and after my party is all said and done it seems like I have to rush and get things done before school starts on the 26th. I was due on the 10th of August, but of course being the lazy person that I am I had to be eleven days overdue and inconvenience myself. Ah, well. I guess it's kind of cool that when it's my 21st birthday I'll be 21 on the 21st. Better than 10 on the 10th, anyway.

So after a year of wanting one, on my 17th birthday I am having a 1920's themed murder mystery party! Very exciting! Bad news though. Today, I found out that one of my guests is unable to attend and her best friend is now not allowed to go either. It may not seem like that big of a dilemma, but in murder mystery land it is. See, the game needs a certain amount of characters and some characters need to be grouped together or left out completely-yes, I know. Quite confusing. I'll just put it this way, since the two people have dropped out, it supposedly doesn't work out. And as of right now I have no idea what to do about it. I'm completely stressing.

Speaking of stressing, this year I am in honors English, as well as a few other honors classes. Since I am in honors English there was some summer reading that is required. Well, for me there IS summer reading. See, I have yet to read the two books that I had 3 months to finish. Well, actually, no that isn't true. I got to page 5 of my first book. Did I mention that I'm a procrastinator? Yeah, well I am. It's a bad habit that I can't seem to break. I told myself that I would set aside 3 days to just read nonstop. Well, those 3 days started on Sunday and no reading has been done. I hate doing this to myself. I am my own worst enemy. I always think that there is so much time during the summer to get so many things accomplished, but as it turns out every summer, there's not. It all flies by too quickly and you blink and all of a sudden the summer is coming to a close and all of a sudden you're seventeen. Even though the memories you had as an eleven year old feels like it happened only a few months ago.

Wow. I'm a senior. How did that happen?
