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?
