Yes...I have made that sound before. It's my stressed/annoyed sound, and if you're one of my friends, you've heard it at some point (or some variation of it.) But anyway!

It's almost May, actually tomorrow's May, and I have my IB Math Studies exam next week on the 7th and 8th. Ugh. I'm really nervous about it because I'm not a math person. I'm much more of an English/History/a little bit of Science person. But at the same time, I want to get it over with. It's the only IB test I have to take this year and the rest are all next year. And I have to do my Extended Essay stuff. I have all the stuff typed up, I just need to turn it in. That's the thing with IB, there's all this stuff to turn in and I have trouble with that, and then there are all of these deadlines that I have to meet, while at the same time reading "Anna Karenina" and "Narcissus and Goldmund", and getting ready for quizzes on those books. AND studying for my IB Math Studies exam. AND come up with a topic for my Musical Investigation. AND try and find some free time to do...something other than work. It's all so much. And I have to do CAS stuff and...ugh.

For those who don't understand what I'm talking about...I'm too lazy to explain, or rather, I'm too BUSY to explain!

On a happier note!

I'm getting myself psyched for NaNoWriMo this year...even though it's, like, seven months away and it's probably going to be the most miserable month ever. So, if I email you guys or call you and I sound really, really miserable...show no sympathy. NaNoWriMo is a challenge to write a 50,000 word novel in one month. You guys will be showing how much you care...by making me do it and listening to me complain about doing it XD Doesn't that sound like fun? My friend Kristina roped me into it, so we'll be suffering together.

And I'm not dead on here by the way! I'm going to force myself to draw something and put it on here just for the sake of having something on here for the first time in...forever. Or maybe I'll finish up the next chapter of Garnet that I'm working on. I think it's winding down towards the end soon. I'm letting go and letting some of the characters do what they want, and it's really productive actually. I didn't expect that, I'm so used to writing with a plan in mind. I mean, I still do...but I'm much more leniant now.

And colleges! I have to do colleges too. I have a list and some of them look really interesting, like Longwood University in VA and Virginia Wesleyan and Barry University in FL. I just need to get good SAT or ACT scores...haha, wish me luck. And do college visits, can't forget those.

I miss all of you VA people, by the way. I'm going to try and visit over the summer. Maybe we could even do collaborative college visits...

Well, this has got to be one of the longest journals I've ever written, so I'm going to shut up now.

Byeee!
