Today I have managed to get the worst part of my summer work out of the way. You can be I happy danced! Now I just need to finish Sometimes a Great Notion and read One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest before it become apparent that I haven't already. I think that I can pull it off.
I start school tomorrow and I'm having mixed feelings about that. I'm excited to have structure to my day, and relieved that I won't have to sit around doing nothing. But I also am not prepared to enter what I hear is the worst year of high school: junior year.
And to start off my fantastic schooling I get to write an essay this weekend! Oh boy! That's what I get for putting off my summer work for so long though. My friend is going to come over Sunday and we're going to work on it together and proof read each others essay so that we can make sure we're not turning in anything too crappy.
I'm really happy that I'm going to be able to see all of my friends again and see people whom I haven't seen in months. It'll also be nice to see my teachers. One thing about my school that I love is the teachers. They actually care if you do work and try to teach you. My favorite memory of last year is one day after school, this kid Chris and I went to talk to our English teacher and after talking with her our global teacher came in and we had one huge conversation about pop culture, media, the internet, our families, and anything else that came to mind! I get really attached to teachers, to the point where I consider them to be my friend and I actually enjoy talking to them and finding out about their weekend. It also helps me learn and pay attention in that class if I share a connection with that teacher. It makes me feel as if what they have to say is more important.
I guess that relates to how I model my behavior to match those that I look up to which I talked about a few blog entries ago. I've been working all day again and need to get to sleep at a decent time tonight so that I'll wake up at a decent time tomorrow so I guess this is goodbye until I post another blog post. Tomorrow's post will hopefully be interesting and full of how much I love school! Although I severely doubt that.

Damn, Two Hours Late
I have been doing the summer work that I've put off for months all day. This books are painfully horrible. They eat at my soul. They are making me hate reading which is a really hard thing for me to hate. Tomorrow will be the same, me reading the worst books in the history of books. Sorry this sucks so much. I've done nothing all day but read shit, my brain is mush.

Holy Smokes I Left My House!
Today I went to a back to school party. It was a lot of fun. I kicked ass at Jenga. That game is so addicting. I normally have no patience for board games and I can't play them for very long, but I played five or six games of Jenga. They were good games as well, not really short crappy games.
Other people at the party were playing Rock Band, and doing it very, very loudly. Well I suppose it's all right because it is a party, but none the less I do not like loud things.
I'm not entirely sure why I was invited to this party. I'm not good friends with the person who threw it. In fact I have only seen her once in the past two months because I ran into her getting Chinese food. It was still a pretty awesome party and got me out of the house which is a good thing.
I barely got any sleep last night because my sister had a friend of hers sleep over and they thought that it would be a good idea to do the cliche put shaving cream on the hands thing. They did that at three A.M. and I was awake until about six A.M. but it did give me time to get some of my summer work that I have been putting off for months done. For some reason I work best when I am ridiculously tired. Maybe because I have no idea how horrible what I'm actually doing is.
After that I slept for a few hours and then attempted to do even more of my summer work, because for the next two days I am going to have to work constantly if I want to get that finished by the time that school starts. Even if I do that I am doubting my abilities because I have to read three books in two days. They aren't even entertaining books. They're incredibly boring and I don't understand why anyone would want to read them.
www.goodreads.com is letting me track my progress with the books and I update it constantly when I'm taking a break. It somehow gives me inspiration. It also depresses me when I see how much more I have to read.
Well right now I'm going to go watch Buffy and give myself a few more hours of freedom before I start attacking my summer work with more ferocity than ever. (I feel like I'm awkwardly ending an IM conversation with someone.)
Hopefully I'll find time during my summer work frenzy to blog again tomorrow.

New Blogs, Wow!
Today I have created both a tumblr and a blogger. Why, you may ask? Because my life is boring and why not share it with the world.
Today was comprised of me sitting, watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I'm finishing season 3) and listening to Lauren Fairweather and Hank Green. Then my cousins, who have been coming over once every other weekend came over and are now on my couch sleeping. It's 12:30 A.M..
There have been a few things that have bothered me today and now I get to go into angry rant time!
Tumblr: Why do some people think that it's a social networking site? It's not. It's not a way for you to talk to your friends and send messages back and forth. Frankly it's really annoying to your followers when you post something new every two seconds. I created my tumblr primarily to follow people and with that comes the obligatory follow your friends. However there is a reason there is a queue feature. So you don't clog your followers feed.
During my angry rant about tumblr I forgot what else I was going to rant about. I feel like it was a good rant as well. Oh well.
There is however something else I want to talk about. How the things that you idolize and the things that you are inspired by affect the way that you act. For instance, I just watched all of the vlogbrothers youtube videos. One of the people who vlog in that site, Hank, is really outgoing and he is really crazy and out there, and flails his arm a lot. After watching all of their videos, I found myself acting like Hank and using crazy arm gestures to go along with everything that I say. Then, after catching up with the youtube channel, I picked up Buffy the Vampire Slayer from where I dropped it for a few weeks and continued watching that. I then found myself acting and thinking like Willow. Which is completely different from the way Hank Green acts. I guess I am a perfect example of something that proves my point? Maybe. I don't know what I'm saying. This entry is done. I don't even understand what I'm saying anymore. Goodbye.
