sigh.

Liking a Miley Cyrus song is slightly demeaning, even though I don't really care what people think about what I listen to usually. She's the one artist that I'm embarrassed of, and I only like ONE song by her. Sad.

I'm not meant to go to sports games.
Sigh.

sunday.

I really really really don't want to do my homework. Namely English.
Which is kind of odd because it's usually math I really don't want to do.
But I'm having trouble finding sources for Anne Tyler's Dinner at a Homesick Restaurant and Breathing Lessons.

It's officially been 2 hours and I have indeed finished my English. Whoo! Now I just have my math homework, which I've already completed half of.
However, I think I may go eat some salty M&Ms and popcorn kernels or an Oreo funstix before starting in on that. Also, I would like to finish that episode of Psych that I forgot to finish forever ago. :)

Today's been relatively stress freeeeee. I even finished my photo assignment already, at like 10. Which was like within thirty minutes of when I woke up. Yay!

So far it's been a pretty good Sunday, despite not feeling all that great.

Realizing that I get absolutely nothing out of my classes is a little sad.

12 years at school, and I've learned mundane things but absolutely nothing worthwhile.

why isn't it sunday yet? :)

So I just prepped four books to release "into the wild" for BookCrossing.com, which I'm really quite excited about. It's really not a big deal at ALL, but I was really amused by the whole thing.

Honestly, that's all I had to say.
Haha!

do you remember when?

As weird as it sounds, I really miss China.

I was only there for two weeks, but I really miss the people I met and the places I saw and just the overall atmosphere of the trip. I think this is a result of a) sharing horror airport stories (14 hour flight followed by a lonely 11 hour layover during which I cried three times in public), b) reading my wall-to-wall conversation with one of my best friends from the trip who I really miss, and c) watching the video I made upon returning home. I still find myself talking about it whenever I get the chance, and I view that as the best part of my summer, hands down. I am excited to see my friends again, even if it is a year from now. If that reunion we talked about (haha) doesn't happen, I think I'll actually be pretty upset about it.

Anyway. I didn't really have homework today, although I told myself I would work on my Spanish homework. Actually, I'm gonna start that right now, just in case. I'm also supposed to finish an economics worksheet, but that should be easy, even though supply is more confusing than demand. I just remembered that I have a Spanish quiz tomorrow. Oh well. I'll probably do okay without studying too much, and even if I don't, I've done well on enough that I don't need to worry that much.

I'm lazy today.

And I definitely just got a 57% on one of my Spanish assignments. Whoo for forgetting accents and switching vowels.

I really should take a shower and read or something, but I think I'll probably play The Sims 3 for slightly too long and then end up not getting enough sleep. Like I usually do.

... I am so lame. :D

Listening to: Rainbow Veins by Owl City, Volcano by Jimmy Buffet, Never There by Cake, Maybe, This Time by OK Go, On the Wing by Owl City, Is There No Truth in Beauty? by Just Surrender

puppies.

I start making mix CDs for my car and forget in the middle and end up with a ton of playlsits named variations of "car cd" on my iTunes. I have a different mood for each different CD; the two I have right now are really varied, and I've been wanting a mostly-acoustic, easy to sing to, summery kind of CD, despite the fact that it's nearing September. I also want a country mix CD, because I find myself craving Brooks and Dunn and George Strait when I'm driving home from school.

Jimmy Buffett's Songs You Know By Heart is probably one of my favorite CDs because of the memories it brings back.

I'm tired but working on my English homework. I really need to study for my Spanish quiz as well, but I'm taking one thing at a time.

I have so much to do... I really need to just DO stuff, but I would rather do stuff that I WANT to do. My grandfather/the guy that talked at a senior initiation kinda thing essentially said that the easier the classes, the better, because if they're too hard, it just becomes work. Which is not what you want. Ugh.

I wish I liked/cared about learning.

Kenny Chesneyyyy. <3

whining.

I should 100% be studying for the math test that I have tomorrow, but instead, I'm trying to rid my computer of viruses and trojans while ignoring my calculus book sitting open beside me. I'd much rather go to bed than read through a chapter about techniques that I don't remember and don't understand. Getting a virus was a much needed excuse to blow off studying - not that I had much time for it anyway, as I've only been at home for about 3 nonconsecutive hours. I really should just grab my book and start reviewing, but I'm stubborn [haha] and haven't understood any of the material we've "covered" for the past 2 days. Exponential functions and transformations just throw me off, although I had a solid understanding of them last year during precal. I don't know why I've forgotten everything [excluding that three months we had off, of course], but I feel like this is just one of my patterns again; freshman year, I took a math that was too easy for me and easily got 100s on almost everything; sophomore year, I took a math that was too hard for me and barely scraped by with low Bs; rinse and repeat.

I think I beat the virus. Maybe I shouldn't say that. Jinx?
It's okay; I knocked on wood.

I'm sleepy and have decided in the time that it took my computer to restart to at least review the precalculus that I don't understand. Sigh.
