Wow, no one cares about this at all, it seems. I only really update my livejournal nowadays, and most everyone on here reads it anyway, so I guess you should be referred there from now on. If you would like access to that blog (it's friends only) let me know and we'll talk.

Otherwise, I guess this is goodbye. I won't delete this xanga out of sheer nostalgia (it's my oldest blog!!) but I don't think I'll check the subscriptions anymore. So farewell to all of you, and don't worry, there's always myspace!! (dear god *wince*)

So I said that I'd have time to update Xanga once school was out. That was premature. I guess I underestimated how much IB really affects you even when you're not in school. Between now and the end of June I will have finished health independent study and (hopefully) have passed Computer Competency, assuming I can figure out wtf Microsoft Access is.  By the end of July I hope to have most of my extended essay written, which is quite probably going to be the most painful thing I ever do. That leaves August for reading three books for English and two for Theory of Knowledge, along with the 24-page packet with the other assignments for the latter. All before the first day of school, which also happens to be my 17th birthday. Lovely.

And that's just homework. Next Monday, early swim practices will commence, which means that at 6:15 every morning I will be getting in freezing cold water. I will be vacationing in San Diego from July 11 to July 14, and in Minnesota from July 28 to August 8 (with Ellen my love!~). Dryland conditioning for water polo will probably start right after I get back. Plus, I need to juggle in my two summer lifeguarding stints.

I can't believe it's only the first week of summer vacation and I'm already antsy about everything I need to do. I guess this summer won't be as relaxing as I'd once envisioned.

So basically, I don't really have much time for anything social, but I don't want to be completely miserable. I know it's hard to see you ML people when you all live 20 miles away, but maybe if we met somewhere downtown? That would make me happy. And leave me some love in the form of comments, people. I've missed you!

As of today shit's just started to hit the fan, so I'm taking a deep breath and plunging in, not resurfacing until the next 11 weeks of torture are over.

I won't be updating this blog for a good while, I'd imagine. If you love me enough you can visit my livejournal which should be updated sporadically. It's friends-only, but if your love is reciprocated by myself I'll find you a way of reading it. Because I know you'd die without periodic updates of my fascinating person.

Good luck to you all with surviving the ensuing hell. See you in 74 days...

Oh my god, this has been the busiest weekend of my life. I seriously think so. Begining a recap from Friday...

it was a rally day, and as we all know I love ML rallies because they are so great. So I didn't go out to my car after fourth period and get in, and Ashveer didn't just jump in and say "where are we going?" And we totally didn't drive off campus to Jamba Juice, then to Taco Bell because we changed our minds. We absolutely didn't get a ton of food and talk about random shit like Girl Scouts and our english class, and he did not prank call the ML office. And we especially didn't get back just in time for Ashveer to finish his english essay, which he had obviously not just started.

Then after school was TWIRP which was a blast. Deuter, Deuter. He is just so amusing and easy to talk to and fun. His mom got me yellow roses, which I love. I've always like yellow roses better than red ones, and as she put it, it's a symbol of friendship, so the night was not awkward in the slightest. Parking at Macaroni Grill was awful. The actual dance was kinda lame because we had to wait in an awful line to get into the gym, and then another for pictures. But we hung out with Janice, Tali and their dates the whole time. It rocked.

The next day I woke up early for the friggen practice SAT (after getting home at midnight the previous night... it sucked) and proceeded to waste a perfectly good Saturday morning in the ML cafeteria. At least there was Thiersten and Ellen to keep me amused. After that I actually was able to relax for the rest of the day.

Today, I woke up early yet again to put up my finished mural onto the wall of the Greenhaven North Cabana Club.  Oh my god my Gold Award is done. I am so, SO relieved and happy (although I won't be all that relieved until I receive my letter of acceptance). The pic is really bad quality, but there you go:

I'm holding a drill, by the way.

And then after that was finished, I went to Shannon's to play DDR, roll newspapers, and watch Hercules (the Disney version!). After that I got the last signature I needed, filled out the application for my lifeguarding class, and here I am now.

So yes, this weekend's been absolutely exhausting, I've had to wake up early every day, and it doesn't get better as I'm taking the real SAT this Saturday. But after that's done, all my March obligations will be over with, and spring break will soon be upon us. Yes.
