Really, Nature?

As of this moment I have had 5 snow days, 2 delays, and 2 early dismissals due to snow. It's supposed to snow two more times this week. That could mean 7 snow days. In a way that's awesome but mostly it means we won't have a spring break. ARGH.

Also, my family and I have been meaning to go sledding, but literally every single store we went to in order to buy sleds has been sold out. How unfortunate.

Tomorrow I take my last 2 midterms for high school ever. AP Psych and PreCal, which hopefully won't be very difficult. I also have a sort of exam for spanish...which I am not looking forward to at all.

In other news I started reading a book called This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen. I'm almost done and I really like it. But I'm honestly more interested in Remy's friend than her relationship with Dexter (which I know ends well because I've already read Just Listen and they have a little cameo in it).
And I bought The Hunger Games so I'll be starting that probably by the end of the week.

So I don't know about filling that whole poster with drawings. Maybe I can do it. But here's another idea/resolution/goal/whatever you want to call it.
I'm going to read as many books as I can this year. Let's say the least amount of books read by December 31st is 40? 40 is good. At least 40 books by the end of the year. I can do it.

Books read:
1. Othello by William Shakespeare

Currently reading:
This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen

Okay. I need to go take a nap. We had presentations on our Shakespeare plays (mine was Othello) and I got no sleep last night and was nervous all day so I need to sleeeeeeep.

So, BYAHAHUEHYUEYYEYYEEYEYEEEE.
ps. anyone hear that new linkin park song? waiting for the end, i believe. it's surprisingly good.

Snow day...AGAIN

We had ANOTHER snow day yesterday. That's 3 in one week. And today we had a delay.
Since it's my senior year I don't actually mind having to make the days up later in June.

In other news, I've officially sent in my applications for all 4 colleges I intend on applying to (though I might apply to more depending on my financial situation). 3/4 have replied to my emails saying they accept official school reports of SAT scores which is awesome, because doing it through college board would cost $10 per request. Boooo. So, YAY, I'm almost done with the whole college thing.

Also, I have to play timpani in percussion ensemble, which I totally suck at. I guess we'll see how that goes.

OOOOH ALSO It's Buffy's 30th birthday today according to whedonesque. :)

Anyway, I should go. I have to clean my room so some people can come look at the house tomorrow. I really do not want to move but I don't exactly have a choice. :(

Aghh. Alright, that's it. :P
BAHHHYYYEEEE!

SUDDEN INSPIRATION

I often complain about wanting to draw or write something but having no idea what. That's usually what keeps me from actually doing it.
Anyway, about a year ago my dad's girlfriend Louise brought home a somewhat wrinkled GIANT roll of paper from where she works. The fact that it got wrinkled made it so they couldn't use it, so she gave it to me.

So I just decided that by December 31st, 2011, I will fill the whole thing.

I'm hoping it goes well. It won't be just pictures; I'll write stuff on it, have people add their own drawings, etc. I sort of wish I thought of this at the very beginning of 2011, but it's only been a couple weeks.

Better late than never!!
