Why Hello There.

Guess what? We are coming in on the one year anniversary of my blog!
Yay! Break out the party hats!
...you forgot the party hats?
Oh well.
It's gotten to the point where I haven't posted in so long that I totally forget what my last post was about. Sooo...I'm just going to ramble on for a little bit. And shut up Dad, if you want better blog posts then that's too fricken bad. *makes raspberry noises in your general direction*

Homework still sucks, but it's a new trimester, so it's only slightly lighter. I actually have a fun class this tri (if you consider health fun...), which involves a lot of work I don't really have to think about. Yay for required classes! And screw you, spell check, yay is totally a word.
I just finished a really lengthy and frustrating World War I project that involved a lot more work than I thought it did, so the fact that I started it at like 10 last night didn't help a whole lot.
What should I be doing right now? Reading Heart of Darkness for AP Lit. But that book is as dull as my aunt Mertyl's childhood, and I don't even have an aunt Mertyl.
Also Forensics season has started, and every week I am SO FRUSTRATINGLY CLOSE to moving on to semifinals. As in, out of the 12 competitors in my category that break, I am number 13. They should make an action movie about my Forensics life. It would be called I Am Number Thirteen, and I'd get to meet/gape at Alex Pettyfer. It would be about this girl who is pretty decent at performing her Prose piece and gets a lot of laughs from the audience, but she keeps getting beat by this girl who acts out getting raped in a closet. Okay, okay, she ALMOST gets raped in a closet. But then, Number Thirteen miraculously triumphs over Number Twelve and her closet rape, and beats that diva kid with the ridiculous name, AND WINS!
Because that would be a totally legit story.
Except for not really.
And the thing that really bugs me is that I put a lot of effort into this. I cut my piece myself (though I'd never have been able to get it where it is now without my coach, so props), and I really, really like it. Like I feel all connection-y with the characters. So yes. I should be breaking into at least semifinals. That would make me happy.
