Well, I signed up for an on-line biology class in order to fill my lab science requirement back in the spring when my class registration got screwed up. And now I'm realizing I may have gotten into a little bit too much. The class started Tuesday and whilst the workload hasn't been that bad so far, the syllabus says that the workload is "supposed" to be thirty hours a week. On top of working a job starting in a week and a half's time! And that's been about all to happen this week--except that I drove through my first drive-thru! I mean, obviously I've been to them before, just not driving. For those of you not in the know, yes, I'm nineteen and still haven't got my licence! But I'm planning to finally get it this summer. About time!

Not much else has happened--I've been playing Minecraft and that's it. Not that I'm complaining! Although sometimes the days can all blend together. I suppose that comes with summer holiday, but it makes me a bit wary, all this unstructured time--my ADHD doesn't agree with it, I guess. Anyways, ta-ta for now!

Well, today was... a lot! I had my computer science final this afternoon, and before that I had to try and motivate myself to do some work. I had a chicken salad, a breadstick and some fries for lunch, which was really good! I think I did pretty well on my compsci final, and afterwards I sat near this guy I really like in the library! I was reading some of my favourite British literature in an attempt to capture his attention (he's an English major) but I think I failed. Oh well! A friend of mine who knows him said she'd introduce us but given it's finals week I don't know if she'll have time. Why is it that when I finally have a crush who I can trust would be a good boyfriend, and I've gotten to a place where I almost (keyword almost) have the courage to tell him something about it, it's finals week? I'm going to have to see if any of my friends can sus his Instagram account or something. Even though I don't like Instagram. And I haven't posted to my account in like a year, so it might be suspicious. But I digress!

I also had my linguistics final today, which was on-line, so I did it with a friend from my k-pop club (the professor lets us do tests with our friends--I feel like she doesn't care, but in a good way) and then we had dinner afterwards. It was really fun! I think I needed some social interaction today after holing up studying and taking exams for the past few days.

I'm really gonna miss my college friends this summer! I live in this small little town about two or three hours from the city where most of my friends from college live. Thankfully, I'm going to be able to meet up with Blue and Green though! And hopefully Pink (for blog newcomers--a longtime friend since childhood who's now going to college in Europe. Sadly he seems to have drifted away from most of us stateside, though) as well, and some other old friends. And hopefully I'll also finally get a car so I can drive to my friends' house and maybe even drive into the city to visit my college friends!

But yeah, I am exhausted. I also finished my French essay today but I haven't turned it in yet because honestly I really don't want any feedback. I don't want to think about that class anymore! I just want to be done.

I also have a statistics exam to study more for tomorrow, and my English final is halfway done. Hopefully I'll have it done by the weekend, because I'm going on holiday Monday! I'm going abroad to spend a week with family. I'll make posts here about it as the holiday happens, but for now I'll let it be because again, I'm exhausted. I need to go take a shower and get ready for bed. Good night, y'all!

Well, holy crap, y'all! I meant to post this weekend, but my weekend was too jam-packed!

Saturday morning, the two kids I teach English played each other in little league soccer (or whatever it's called. I may be a soccer teacher (does that exist?) but I'm not a soccer mom yet. In any case, I think I might sign my kids up for dance instead.) and since one of the members of my English teaching group is coach for one of their teams, a lot of us went out to support them! It was also a sort of team-building activity, but, y'know, an actually fun one--not a ropes course or crap like that. I HATE ROPES COURSES! Which is why I've always come up with excuses not to go on them. Ha ha ha! Anyways, one of the kids comes from Latin America, and his family had a bunch of snacks from their home country that they shared with us, which was really sweet of them! I don't remember the name, but it was some sort of special bread with chicken, mayo and some various veggies. They were so good! I even got to take one home for dinner that night.

And then as soon as I got home, two of my roommates and I went and had pizza and ice cream! It was really fun, even though I'm always at odds with one of them. I mean, with my three current roommates, I have one I love, that one I have a love-hate relationship with, and the other one that I'm just always annoyed with--but enough of airing my dirty laundry on the Internet. It was a really nice time! And I got them both to like a k-pop song--MAGO by GFRIEND, to be exact.

Then that night, a friend and I went to Wal-Mart! We're in the K-Pop Club together at our college, and we were buying some presents for two of our members, since we have one graduating and one transferring.

The next day, another friend and I went to this little Chinese restaurant in town (who had maybe the best beef and broccoli and vegetable lo mein I've ever had!!) and then went to Wal-Mart again! This time we got a prize for the activity we had planned for our meeting tonight (a Kahoot where we guessed who added what song to our group Spotify playlist) and I got some DVDs, and I got a cookie cake (because I lurrrve cookie cakes) for our meeting tonight. And then I called Blue and Green (for any newcomers to my blog, Blue is my bestie for the restie that I've known since middle school, and Green is our other best friend from high school) until pretty late.

And then there was today! We had our last k-pop club meeting of the semester tonight, and it was a little emotional. Both our leaving members really liked their gifts, which was really heartwarming! I'm gonna miss them all so much but I'm so glad I've gotten to know them. :)

Well, I finally have both my final essay assignments, which makes things easier. I started on my French essay yesterday, and I'm going to start on my English today. I also started studying for my statistics test, a week and a half ahead of time--yay me! And I think we're going to review in my compsci class today. I don't know what else we'd be doing--we had better not be covering any new material! I already have a compsci assignment to finish for Friday, which is less than a week before the final when we don't really have much to study either. He normally gives a little study guide, which I really hope is enough! And then there's linguistics, which is an on-line class, and she always lets us use our notes and all, so I'm not concerned about that. But y'all, I'm so tired. Just over a week left!

What can I do but dread the next two weeks? The finals countdown has begun! I have one more mini-assignment each in compuer science, linguistics and statistics, but beside that everything's in full finals swing. I already have my French final essay assignment, and I'm getting my English one tomorrow. I suppose I should start studying for statistics as well today, and computer science later on. But I'm quite tired and wish I didn't have to! But I just have to remind myself that I only have a week and a half left till I can blow this popsicle stand! I just have to power through and probably drink a lot of tea to do so.

The past few days have actually been quite good, however! The calm before the storm, I guess. Friday afternoon, I had my stats test, and I actually think I did well! And then I sat down underneath a tree and read for a while before dinner, which was absolutely idyllic! I felt like a character in a novel, almost. I hope I can catch some more moments of peace like that! I kind of did the next day, too, actually, because I went to my friend's birthday picnic! It was in this cute local park and all the food was really good. It was super fun! Although I did sunburn my nose. :(

Yesterday was pretty run-of-the-mill. I had this really cute outfit on that my pastor's wife complimented at church! She and her husband are both so sweet. I've seen their son, too--he goes to college in a different city--and I thought he was really handsome. :) Sadly, he's graduating anyways, but oh well. Anyways, my English teaching also went well yesterday--it was one of my students' birthdays and so we had a little party for him, and he gave me a few of his duplicate Pokemon cards! The girl who taught the kids before me was right when she said eventually they kind of feel like "your" kids. :)

And that brings me to today. I have to do linguistics homework and start working on my French paper--ugh! I have no clue what I'm going to write about. And there's something else I'm forgetting. And classes, and a club meeting tonight, which is the bright spot in my day, even though it's just making me even busier. But oh well. Now I should probably start paying attention to my French class again. Toodles!

Well, in case you hadn't read the title, I'm now a Panic at the Disco songwriter!

What I actually am is putting off working on my statistics homework. I still have a few more questions on the study guide for the test, which is, oh yeah, tomorrow?!? And I can't remember how to do some of the stuff on here. Thank the good Lord that we get a formula sheet, because I'd be cooked otherwise, and I still might be lightly sautéed nonetheless. But it's only two and a half weeks until I never have to calculate another p-score again, and I'll be p-retty damn glad! Ha. Ha. Ha. You can tell I'm braindead from this stupid class because my puns are even lower-effort than usual.

I'm also mentally at odds with the student organization people at my college, because we can't make any more reservations for my k-pop club until we get approval on some paperwork and stuff, but the problem is that we've submitted everything as of yesterday and they're dragging their feet (or maybe they're just busy, but still) and our meetings are on Mondays, so if we don't get approval by tomorrow I don't know what the heck we're going to do?!? Maybe just hold it clandestinely in a hall lounge.

OK, update later and I only have two questions left on my study guide. But it's ridiculously late. When will I be able to get into bed at a decent hour?!? Perhaps this summer I'll be able to reset my routine--or maybe this weekend? And I've been on the computer all day, and I'm basically braindead, and I've not really had any free time today.

But that brings me to TWS! They had a comeback on Monday and I like all the tracks on the album! A lot of people have called it a sort of "Plot Twist 3.0", which makes sense as it sounds like the child of "Plot Twist" and "If I'm S, Will You Be My N?", but I still like it! Nick of the Bias List actually made an extended edit (as mentioned in the comment here) which he sent to me, and it inspired me to make my own! So maybe watch out for that soon when I get time?

And that's all, because it's getting late and ya girl needs to get in bed! Toodle-oo and talk to you soon!

Well, today my only class was cancelled, so I've been having a relatively chill morning in! So far, I've finished my statistics and compsci homework (with some struggling, especially with the stats!), and I've had four cups of tea. (Or rather three and two-halves--one cup of Earl Grey got lukewarm too quickly and this blueberry lemon tea I tried for the first time tasted like cleaning supplies. Yech.)

And I'm not talking normal teacups, either, or even normal mugs, but this bigger tumbler-like thing I got from Starbucks ages ago that my parents found in the back of the cupboard at home. I'd say it's probably a mug and a half-sized, so that means I've had (humanities major struggling to do math) six cups of tea today! (And some nice biscuits--thanks, Mum!) And so when I was making my last thing of tea, I had a flashback to that scene from the first episode of Gilmore Girls:

Me: Please, Lizzie, please, please, please.
Also me: How many cups have you had today?
Me: None.
Also me: Plus?
Me: Three. But the fourth is better.

Well, shall I start shopping scripts out to the networks? I mean, my principal in fourth grade did compliment my comedic timing in our class play on the fifty states... maybe I've just got that magic touch.

Anyways, I'm going to have some Chinese food and Gilmore Girls (very topical, eh?) for lunch as my reward for a (relatively, consider I kinda slept like crap) productive morning, and then onwards to Citation Station to finish up my English essay.

Current Mood: productive

Things are busy and bustling around here, while at the same time more dead. For some reason, a lot of my friends are leaving early for Easter weekend and making themselves a long weekend, so only a couple of my friends are going to be on campus after today and I won't have many people to hang out with. Which is probably for the better, as I'm very busy. I've still got to finish an English essay for hopefully tomorrow, but before I worry about that I have computer science homework (which really should've stayed a hobby!) and a French assignment.

Which, by the way, sent me on a wild goose chase for about 45 minutes last night because I thought one question was about a different poem than it was, because my professor's headers on his assignments kind of blend together. So what should've been a simple question I remember the answer too off the top of my head turned into a 45-minute expedition through the entire French and English Internets to figure out what "traditional/canonical form" "Au lecteur" by Baudelaire is. (Hint: none. "Correspondances", on the other hand, is a sonnet.)

Hence why I say "agh!". Well, I have an hour before French class, so I should at least try and get something done this morning, I reckon.

I went home this past weekend for tax reasons, and was able to get back into my family's Netflix account (apparently, if you don't log into it at home every month or so you can't use it when away from home) and so today I sat down and watched some Gilmore Girls with my lunch! And it struck me that I feel very Rory Gilmore-esque today. This whole week, even, I feel like I will be very Rory-esque. (Except the fact that I'm writing this in my statistics class right now instead of paying attention... but I'm too busy for that today, in my defense!)

Well, to start, tonight I have to lead a club meeting, as well as an executive board meeting beforehand, so I had to write up an agenda and send out an e-mail, and this, that and the other. And for some reason, after having a very lovely and unstressful week last week, everything seems to have cooperated to make this week busy. I have a big essay due later on in the week that I was too exhausted (something to do with my allergies/allergy meds, I think?) to work on much over the weekend, like I had planned to do. And I have to do exec stuff for one club, and planning, and sign up to run for exec for another next semester. And I have some statistics assignments to do, and a French take-home quiz to do (which was also supposed to be done over the weekend, but my professor didn't send it until almost midnight on Saturday night), and a movie to watch for linguistics, and AGH!

I really don't know how Rory Gilmore was doing this busy extracurricular and studying-all-the-time stuff all throughout high school--I'm in college and it's still such a juggling act. I mean, I literally was juggling just before this class what could I do in class (anything on my computer, because I have the plausible deniability that I was "looking at slides" or something) and what would be gauche (breaking out a book and reading Frankenstein or finding citations for my Jane Eyre essay). I mean, one of the most engaged students in the class (always asking the teacher questions and such) is sitting on his phone right now and has been all class. But still, I do feel bad for not paying closer attention in class--perhaps what's keeping me from being like Rory Gilmore. Although even she had her terrible unacademic, crash-out-y moments during college (I don't want to spoil, but if you know you know!). So perhaps I'm not so unlike her after all, although she isn't a perfect aspirational figure anyway.

I don't know what the heck it was, but something was in the water last week, because it sucked. Monday started off "strong"---I had this weird stomachache all freaking day, and I went to a club meeting in the evening where we were making bracelets. I was trying to put Verivery's name on the bracelet, since I saw posts on-line of people making k-pop group friendship bracelets and it looked super cute, but I kept scrounging through the beads and finding all the letters (not an easy feat) only to realize that the string we got (which was the thick glittery plastic kind) was too big to fit them!

Repeat this twice, and two hours later, and I finally find the right size beads with all the right letters. I make a really cute bracelet, but I didn't have that much string left to tie it off, so I had to do it as much as I could. But I was so proud of that bracelet! And so when I went to take it off when I got back to my room, and I couldn't find it on my arm, in my pocket, anywhere... well, that on top of my stomachache (which made me have to skip my afternoon classes and catch up the next day) made me crash out. I went back to the classroom where we had had our meeting, and the bracelet wasn't there, or even with the trash (Yep, I dug through trash, which accelerated my crashout), and wasn't there either when I scoured the path back to my room, so I was done. And then a miracle happened.

The next day, I was coming back to my room after lunch, when in one of the hallway windowsills in my dorm building, I found... guess what? THE FREAKING BRACELET. And I thought that I had lost it before I had gotten to my building, so I don't know how that happened. Well, that about made my day, and so the next day, when it went with my (bomb-dot-com, by the way) outfit, I decided to wear it. And then I was on my way to my second class of the day, having already been all over campus, when I realized that I had lost it. Again. Or more accurately, since the thing seems to have a mind of its own, it had lost itself. AGH!!!!! When I go home in a weekend or two, I'm commandeering my mum's bracelet-making supplies to make myself a makeup bracelet.

And that was a foreboding of the week that was to come. I was stressed, my mental health wasn't the best for some reason, and nothing was really going my way. But today has been better! I'm still tired, but I got to meet up with some friends for lunch, and so on, and I'm having a better day. And when I woke up this morning I had some energy---I was happy to start my day! Barely any time to wake up in bed, no dragging my feet---I was dancing around the bathroom to my iPod getting ready. I can only hope and pray that A) that's a foreboding of a better week to come and B) that I've not just jinxed it. But that's all for now---my next class is starting in a few. Toodles! :D

So I had a double-dip of cool stuff to do today. First, this afternoon, I did a cool little Bob Ross art class with a local organization. I have three more classes this week, and we're making one painting per day, so that'll be super cool! Second, I volunteered with some other people my age to make meals for the Ronald McDonald House and it was super fun! There were lots of jokes amongst us and stuff, plus we got to taste test bits/eat excess bread that couldn't fit in the pan when we made garlic bread. I'm doing it with the same organization one week from today, and I'm super excited. Plus, as a bonus Shut Up and Dance and Total Eclipse of the Heart, two pretty good songs, came on the radio on the way home, so I had a nice time jamming to those.

Also, yesterday, my mother and I travelled to her hometown for my grandfather's family reunion and we stopped off at my grandparents' house for a bit afterward. My little cousins showed me their paddleboat thing and my uncle showed me how to drive my grandpa's golf cart-like thing. I even got to drive it on the gravel roads that my grandparents and uncle live on. It was technically my second time doing that, but I'd rather count it as my first official time driving on real roads for some reason. The only side effect was that between driving the golf cart, plus like an hour and a half each way to get there/get home, and probably half an hour on the merry-go-round thing thanks to my cousins make me spin them, my head was spinning slightly all day.

On the annoying side, though, apparently my grade has to go on a "team-building" day retreat this autumn, which I'm dreading. At least we don't have to spend the night there and sleep in weird, uncomfortable beds like the last retreat, though.

Anyways, that's pretty much all that I have to talk about right now, so I'll talk to you all later. Bye!

As expected, it's been hot recently. Unbearably hot. It's supposed to be a whole 33 degress Celsius here on Tuesday, and it's 28 right, which, coupled with all the humidity that we got last week, makes for purely miserable weather. What a joy!

Also, I have to get thinking about summer reading. There's an assignment from my school, which is at least better than previous years (we only have one required book, for my AP Human Geo class), but we also have to make videos for all (or at least some) of the books that we read this summer. There's a shared Google Drive where we're supposed to put all the videos, and checking it, literally nobody from my grade has uploaded one yet. My mother keeps trying to get me to start working on it, and I finally started to think about it today, so I guess I'll have to work on it.

Anyways, other than that, I'll talk to you later. Bye!

School's out for summer! So yesterday, I got out of school. Yesterday was also field day, but thankfully it was rainy so we did it indoors. Double win! And we only had to do a marginal amount of sports, which amounted to dodgeball, which I barely participated in. We also had an activity where my grade went to the cafeteria and the teachers or whoever showed one of those weird 7 Second Riddles videos about crime scene cases. Thanks to my marginal crime-solving skills from watching Murder, She Wrote (and the fact that the teachers made us fill out a multiple choice form) I only got two wrong out of like 20.

But the highlight of the morning, by far, was the half-hour, and later another hour or so where me and my frenemy group played Apples to Apples. My personal best play was when I won the card "rubbery" by saying "The NRA". I also liked the (somewhat bittersweet) part where my frenemies and I went around to get our favourite teachers who won't return next year to sign our yearbooks. This included probably one of my favourite teachers of all time, my old English teacher who inspired me to get into writing, so that was particularly sad for me. But thankfully, though, my Latin teacher gave us some leftover worm-on-a-strings which had been hanging in her room, and I walked awat with two because one frenemy didn't want his, so I took it in. (My first one is named Lizzie, and the other is Charlotte, in case you were wondering, both after Pride and Prejudice.)

My mother and I also took a trip to Target yesterday because I had to buy some new clothes for a get-together an acquaintance of mine is hosting (that was going to be today but was moved right around the time my mother and I got home from Target). But long story short, I insisted on browsing through Target, sidetracking our mission, and found a Britney Spears t-shirt!

So yeah, for that alone, I'd consider the trip a success. Today was my first full day of summer holiday, and I've mostly been relaxing. I finally got some time to write again after not writing for over a week, so that was very welcome! I also finished filming for two new vlog episodes (I'm stockpiling episodes before I start uploading them, I'll tell you all when I do upload them), and I'm going to try and edit them tomorrow. I also had the immense satisfaction of sleeping in until 8:30 (!), something I've been unaccustomed to for quite a few months. I also somehow kept all my A'/raised my B's to A's! So yeah, it's been a pretty great two days. Here's to an even awesomer summer holiday!

Finals update #2: Sorry I didn't update you guys more this week, but I was super busy. But other than that, finals are final-ly done! I had my history debate this morning, and then got to leave early because I didn't have a final in my other class today (My school has a half-day thing for most of finals week, except for the Friday of the week before when we have our first final. Anyways, my team was somewhat ill-prepared (thanks in no small part to my teacher giving us too little time, as is customary for him, plus the only time we had to prepare after we got our groups was during FINALS WEEK), but somehow we won our debate (my class of 16 split up into two debates, with teams of four each). I somehow got an 83 on my algebra final, which pulled my grade from an 88.3 to an 89.9 somehow, so I narrowly have an A. I also got an A on my physics exam (!) somehow. The only one I feel inconfident about is the aforementioned history debate. I started off oddly confident due to my team winning the debate. However, I was slightly late to turn in my annotated bibliography (ugh) which is worth 50% of our final (UGH!), and then had an awkward e-mail exchange with my teacher about it in which he seemed oddly passive-agressive. But I just hope and pray that I keep my A in history after the final is graded.

The other main thing that's happened in my life in the past couple days is that I finally got a new phone! My old Alcatel was chugging along, nagging at me constantly that its storage was full, and so for my birthday I got an iPhone SE as a gift. It's a welcome upgrade to be able to escape the low-storage complaints, and I finally have a phone with battery life worth a damn. The only thing is that it took ages to get Microsoft Edge on my Mac to sync with my phone, and even then it only did it on its own whim, without me doing anything. But overall, I'm super satisfied with my new phone so far. But most of all, I'm super relieved that finals is over. I finally have free time again! My last day of school is tomorrow, and it's Field Day, probably my least favourite day of the year because I hate team "sports" (aka dumb relay races) with a passion. But at least after that, I'll finally have free time to read and write and work on my site and SLEEP IN FOR ONCE. I've been feeling pretty burnt out recently, so it's amazing to finally be able to do what I want. But yeah, I'm sorry that this post was kinda ranty, but I've just been confused and emotionally tired recently, so yeah, hopefully my next post will be happier. Talk to you all later!

Finals update #1: I turned in my final assignment for philosophy yesterday, and I think that went pretty well. My French final also took up my first two periods this morning, plus my mid-morning break, so two hours in all. I ended up getting a 98% on it, so that's great! Also, my class pooled together and ordered pizza from Domino's for lunch. Despite some hiccups (another class had ordered the exact same order without either of us knowing, so we thought it was a duplicate yadda yadda yadda our pizza ended up being delayed until almost the end of lunch), we got our pizza (while I was writing this post) and it was great! Honestly, Domino's might have actually just moved up to be my favourite or second favourite pizza place (Papa John's used to be my favourite).

It's also rainy and I got animal crackers for winning a Kahoot in my algebra class, so overall TODAY IS AMAZING!! And then, just when I was about to sign off and publish this, someone ELSE came into my classroom and gave my teacher some cookie cake, and then left the rest for my class to split up amongst the 16 of us. I LOVE TODAY! Anyways, my Latin class is starting soon (it's 1:03 now) so I g2g! Bye!

The final countdown is about to start, or should I say... the FINALS COUNTDOWN!

Bad pun aside, finals crunch time officially begins tomorrow, as seventh period I have to turn in my philosophy final assignment. I thankfully got my first draft of my English final essay done, and now I only have to revise, and my peer reviewer in class today said that my essay was mostly all right, so I'm almost good to go on that. My physics unit test, which was going to be tomorrow, was thankfully pushed back to our finals period on Monday and our lab that we were going to do then was cancelled, so I have time to study over the weekend. My first official final exam is my French final, which is taking up most of my Friday morning. I'm pretty confident about that, but I'm still going to try and remember to take my French book home tomorrow evening to study.

I also have a history debate during our final period on Wednesday, and I have an annotated bibliography (ugh) due on Friday, which I really should be working on right now, but oh well. I've also been playing the Sims 4 again recently, though thankfully I haven't had enough time to get fully addicted. Also, my birthday is less than a week away, so I've been getting birthday cards and that kind of stuff recently. And finally, the last day of school is going to be on the 27th, and Friday is my last full day of school (Monday through Thursday of next week are half-days.) Thursday is field day, and I have zero clue how we'll do that whilst retaining our social distancing, but oh well. I'll probably avoid participating as best as I can, I've always hated those field day relay races. But anyway, I have to go work on my annotated bibliography (UGH!), so I guess I'll talk to you all later. Bye!

So a lot has happened in the past few days.

First of all, I've worked some more on my philosophy final assignment, which I really should be doing now, but I just don't feel like it.

Second of all, my school decided for some unknown reason decided to host a semi-formal at some outdoor pavillion, and I somehow decided to go. Basically the whole thing was three hours of food and people dancing with colour-changing strobe lights. At least there was some ABBA and Backstreet Boys music later on, and an Emma Bunton song around the start of the party. I still don't know why I decided to go, but oh well.

Third of all, I just got my first dose of the COVID vaccine about an hour and a few minutes ago, and so far so good! And I'm also getting McDonald's for lunch :)

Finally, of course I've been working more on my new WIP, though I wish that it wasn't finals season so I could work on it some more. BUt such is life, and finals season and this school year will both be over soon enough. So now I have to actually stop being lazy and work on my damn philosophy final, so I'll talk to you all later. Bye!

So recently, over the past few days I've been watching a ton of YouTube videos by The Internet Investigator, someone who looks into Internet mysteries. For some reason, I hate most horror/creepy stuff, but I love Internet mysteries and stuff. Honestly, I kinda wanna like make some sort of Internet mystery game. I considered using another site I run (though it's pretty inactive) to set one up, and made a couple Geocities sites and stuff to set it up, but it hasn't really came up to much as it would be a ton of committment.

In other news, I finished watching Pride and Prejudice yesterday, and OMG COLIN FIRTH'S MR DARCY IS MY NEW DREAM HUSBAND! (Update: as of 2022, I no longer fawn over Colin Firth. I'm not going to say anymore. 2022 Lizzie out!) (New update: as of 2023, I no longer have my weird grudge against Colin Firth. Again, no more context, LOL. 2023 Lizzie out!)

Ahem. So anyways, it was a super amazing series! Apparently, according to iMDB, the woman who played Dawn in The Office UK was the same person who played Maria.

So back in school type news, one of my least favourite teachers is going to be gone today, so that's always a cause for happiness. But on the other hand, we have a somewhat substantial project for his class due tomorrow and as seems to be the case rather often, we don't have enough time. And it's not even the final project, which we'll probably only have like two weeks to work on. Also, we're getting the prompts for our final essay for English tomorrow, which I'm kind of excited about somehow.

Also, in terms of English, we recently had to do a creative assignment. One group from my class came up with the best idea ever, which I won't say here because I don't want anybody else to steal their idea. My group had to write an alternate ending for Macbeth, which involved dance battles (to the song Money for Nothing), as well as the three witches sarcastically commented while everybody was dance-battling. It was amazing.

But yeah, lunch period is getting pretty close to being over as it's currently 12:53, so bye!

Welcome to my first blog post in the month of May! It's quickly creeping up on finals season, which means that students worldwide are in deep trouble. Thankfully, some of my teachers have modified it from a normal final to something else. Lots of them did the same last semester, but it seems to be less so this time round. For one, my Latin teacher is making it entirely open book and mostly take home. This is pretty great because my class has learned like 20 bajillion verb tenses and conjugations this year. Also, my philosophy class is probably just going to have a writing assignment, as is my English class, my physics (ugh) final is mostly going to be over this chapter, and my history teacher has floated the idea of a project instead of an exam. Really, the only normal ones out of my classes are French and algebra. I'm pretty great at French class, and I'm good at most of the stuff my algebra class has learned this year, except subtracting rational expressions with fractions and fancy stuff like that.

Also, in the week and a day since my last post, I've finished all the books I was reading then and started to read Victoria by A.N. Wilson. It's pretty good so far!

Also, last night I started watching the BBC Pride and Prejudice miniseries from 1995. *Insert obligatory fawning over Colin Firth as Mr Darcy here* (Update: as of 2022, I no longer fawn over Colin Firth. I'm not going to say anymore. 2022 Lizzie out!) As you all know, I watched The Lizzie Bennet Diaries about a month ago, which is another adaptation of Pride and Prejudice told through vlogs, so it's super interesting to see the different ways that the same plot plays out in different time periods.

Anyways, yadda yadda I'm gonna go read, this blog was brought to you by viewers like you. Thank you and goodbye!

Yesterday. Was. Amazing!

I had a halfday at school, so I got out right after noon and I got McDonald's for lunch! I know it's so unhealthy, but I love to treat myself to McDonald's sometimes. I also spent a good portion of my afternoon watching Murder, She Wrote on Peacock. I love it so much! Of course, I've also been writing, as usual!

Also, I've just recently realized that there's less that one month until my school gets out, which means that there's three weeks until finals. Me being me, of course, I feel woefully unprepared. Thankfully, at least my Latin teacher is splitting it up into different sections and making it open-book, and I feel prepared for all the other exams for the most part, except for physics. I mean, what the hell is an ohm? Oh well, I can just teach myself, like I normally do. In case you couldn't tell, I'm not the biggest fan of my physics teacher, he mostly just rattled off stuff and expects us to know it flawlessly.

Also, as of late I've become rather enamoured with the Web site Goodreads. I love keeping track of my progress as I read and reviewing books after I've finished! Lately, I've read/been reading:

Beowulf, translated by Seamus Hearney, for my English class. I finished this a couple of weks ago.
Macbeth by Shakespeare, also for English. I'm currently reading this.
A handful of books by Sarah Dessen. All of them have been pretty great so far! So far, I've read Lock and Key, Just LIsten, and Someone Like You.
Time and Chance by Kim Campbell, Canada's first woman to be prime minister. I kinda want to read books about different famous politicians, and this is my starting point.
Currently, I'm reading Sophia of Hanover by J.N. Duggan. It's super cool so far!

But yeah, I need to do my homework (or at least pretend that I might get around to it) so I'll talk to you all later, bye!
