Bad Blogger

I'm such a bad blogger. I always forget to post (for weeks on end) and then I need to do summaries of everything that's happened. So, I've resolved to make sure I write at least once a week, and I'll motivate myself with chocolate. Mmmmm.

So, the weekend before my Spring Break I had a Band/Choir/Orchestra competition in Annapolis/Baltimore, Maryland. Milford High School Music was awarded 11 awards: 1 gold in band, 1 gold in A Capella Choir (my choir), 1 gold in orchestra, 1 silver in Concert Choir (Ben's choir), the "Best Overall Department", the "Best Overall Instrumental Program", the "Adjudicator's Award", and 3 invitations to a more prestigious competition in NYC, Chicago, and LA, and one other that escapes me. I had a great time, I got to talk about the gospel to a few friends, I made a great life-long friend (a person that I knew but wasn't really friends with), and I relaxed.

Then I came home. I hung out with friends for a couple days over vacation, but then I just sat at home because everyone was busy later on in the week. Then I got an allergic reaction to something, shaved and cut all the hives open, and gave myself a infection. So, I had to get oral and topical antibiotics and buy an electric razor so that it never happens again.

I had my National Honor Society induction ceremony, and now I'm technically supposed to be done. But I'm not, because my high school is cool. Just like the school toying with my last day. I've worked hard this year so that I don't have to take finals, but the school thinks that it's best to make me be in the school while all the other seniors are taking their finals. Cool. I really don't want to go, but I will probably have to go anyway.

I took all my AP exams as well. I think that I did fantastic on my AP Literature test, but I d sections of it. My AP Spanish exam was easier than I thought it was going to be and I think that I did well, yet I'm still nervous as to what score I might get.

Now I am attempting to write my eight-page research paper on Anna Karenina, because I need a full rough draft for Monday...kill me. I have written two full pages and I have no clue where to go now...

Until the next post. Peace, love, y que todo vaya bien para vosotros.

I'll volunteer myself to edit your paper. Is it pathetic that my mouth waters when I hear of people writing high school/college papers? Love it!

Almost done...hang in there!

I don't love editing. Maybe because I love to ramble--rambling and editing really don't go well together.

Life has a way of getting busy. Don't get out of the habit of blogging. Your mother will haunt you, or call you at random times to ask you the same questions over and over. If it is in print, it is less likely to get forgotten.
