Hello, it’s been a while, two months to be exact. Photos don’t count. So… update time. I turned 17. That’s fun. I took my AP tests. That’s not fun. School is pretty much over. Phew. It was bad there for a while.

I’m currently working on my History in a Blender project for AP US. It’s been really fun so far. It’s pretty much a project mixing pop culture and historical events and making fun of stuff. Ours is a historical spoof of Alice in Wonderland. I’m really excited to see how it comes out. I’m doing this with Britt, Lexi, and Emma and the bit that we’ve done has been so much fun. It’s the weirdest sequence of events though. Alice in Wonderland is already bizarre, so adding historical stuff to it just makes it weirder.

I went to the Getty yesterday. It was so much fun. I love that place with all of my heart. It’s so nerdy to love a museum but I can’t help it. It’s gorgeous. The gardens were under maintenance which sucked because they were closed but the rest of the museum was still just as nice. My favorite painting, Irises by Van Gogh, was there just like it always is. So pretty. Some parts of the day were disappointing besides the gardens being closed but that’s a long story.

What I’m talking about shouldn’t have been disappointing but it’s similar to the 500 Days of Summer Expectation/Reality thing. Not going to go into that. Idk what I was expecting to happen.

I have no idea what I’m going to do over the summer. I’ll figure something out to keep myself busy. Or I won’t. Maybe I’ll start working again. I really need to get back to that.

Okay, that’s enough. Bye.

If anyone had access to my webcam right now, they would be watching me have a dance party in my chair while listening to Call Me Maybe and doing my AP US homework.

I started listening to this album 3 days ago and 5/6 of the songs are already on my Top 25 Most Played. Well this is just fantastic. It’s Hunter Parrish’s Guessing Games by the way. So good.

That awkward moment when you find out one of your favorite Disney Channel stars was in your house this morning while you were at school. She’s met my dogs. This is my life. Asdjfasdjfhaisdf.

Another post, same day as the last one. There were just some random things I wanted to note on a totally different subject.


-I’ve been way too into Glee lately, mostly Warblers.
-Adele is fantastic.
-The Fault in Our Stars is phenomenal. I want to do a whole post on this later.
-I miss my brother.
-My dogs are adorable.
-I recently reorganized my closet/dresser situation.
-Grant Gustin’s voice.
-I can’t sleep without chapstick on/my closet door being closed.
-Collage-ing is soothing for me.
-I wish I was a Warbler (The Girl Equivalent at least.)
-I should do this more often.

I had a great conversation with a friend today while we were supposed to be memorizing Hamlet. I asked her if she could go back to freshman year and change one thing, what that would be. She answered about a boyfriend that she had who I had actually forgotten about. She said something like he wasn’t very nice to her and she basically just dated him to say she had a boyfriend. I jokingly pointed out that that was a common freshman mistake. I feel bad for saying that now thinking about it. I feel like I made her statement somehow less valid by saying how common it is.

She asked me what mine was, and I said it was that I didn’t branch out enough and I stuck with my same group I had through middle school. I explained that my friends only ever talk about the weekend and when they can get drunk again. I don’t do that so it’s irritating to never have anything to do on the weekends. My friend is in a different group than I am. She hangs out with the more… Christian group. Maybe that’s a bad way to explain it, but these are the kids who go to youth groups and don’t seem like they drink or whatever. She said that she’s never really had to deal with any kind of peer pressure. I haven’t either, just because my friends understand that I’m opposed to it. It’s just interesting to me how different the groups are.

I think about this kind of stuff way too much.

Another thing that I think about way too often: College/The Future. We talked about this too, probably just because our teacher is constantly talking about colleges and SATs and all that jazz (in order brag that his son goes to Harvard). My mom has been pressuring me, telling me that we should go visit schools soon but I don’t think I’m ready yet. I’ve visited 10 or so schools already, but those were for my brother. It’s going to be so weird to have the focus solely on me and my opinion. I just want to wait a few more months.

My friend said how much it’s going to suck to have to be apart from her friends all the time. We also have such an advantage though over previous generations with Skype, FaceTime, Facebook etc. I’m just kicking myself now for not getting closer to some of these people and not separating myself from some people I’d rather not associate with.
