AP, Going Back, and Gold Award

I'm getting to that point where I really have nothing to say because there are no talking points. I don't want to discuss the latest gossip with whichever celebrity did whatever (because I wouldn't know about it) and I haven't done anything of consequence lately to merit someone hearing about it. I think I'm ready to go back to school, in all honesty - partially for the lessons, but also it's an excuse to have social interaction and get on someone's nerves whose name isn't the same as my mom's, brother's or dad's. I also will have a reason to get off my butt every 50 minutes to go to the next class. It's true that Junior year is supposed to be terrible, but I think I'm ready for it. I just wish I could take more APs. I'm not doing AP English because the teacher is SUPER hard, and if she was bad in 9th grade English, I DON'T want to think about what she'll do in AP English. I'm only taking one AP, which is my first, and probably one less than everyone else. So in senior year I'm going to take a lot of APs - English definitely, probably history too, and hopefully science (if it can fit right). I do NOT want to do AP math, no matter what anyone else says. And I might do AP music theory, just to have a lot of APs. The reason I feel so bad about it's because my brother took about 2 million AP classes (he's off to college next week) and a lot of my friends have done at least one already, and might be doing 2 next year (if they don't already have at least one credit). So I feel kind of left in the dust. So... yeah.
I think the reason I wasn't super psyched for summer at the end of last year was the fact that the Snopocalypse had vacationed me out by February. I mean, I had Winter break, then Winter break of the Snowmageddon, then Spring break... that's a total of about a third of my summer break right there. Enough for 2 mission projects and a backpacking trip. Wow.
ANYHOO, on to more interesting endeavors: doing the annual KnitterWriterBlogger's REASONS FOR GOING BACK TO SCHOOL!
By KnitterWriterBlogger.
1. APs!
2. Friends!
3. FALL FORMAL!
4. intellectual conversations!
5. I heard that we're going to have 2 new freshmen in my lunch group. YAY!
6. I love getting stuff for back to school. I admit it.
7. Chorus! (yes, I know, I didn't get into a good choir, and I know I'm going to shoot something if I do the same thing next year, but whatever)
8. the school musical! I have no idea what it is yet, but I WANT TO AUDITION! (I just really hope I don't get trumped by the soon-to-be sophomores who are in Chamber Singers... I probably will... but whatever)
9. Film class!
10. Creative Writing!
11. My Gold Award Project will be OVER AT LAST!

Oh, that's the turn of events that I didn't mention... or did I? The one about how, through an annoying turn of events, my gold award project has to be postponed?
In a way, I'm glad it worked out that way. I was SUPREMELY unprepared. So... I'm going to go now.

I also saw 'Despicable Me' last night. It was a REALLY good movie. :D

camp, contacts, and writing. :D

Well, after almost an entire MONTH of doing A TON of trips... watching TV, Facebook, knitting, SAT prep, and going to Driver's Ed is ALL I'M DOING. And I'm REALLY BORED.
My next trip isn't until Labor Day Weekend. It's Family Camp with my church. I'm SUPER psyched. I'm SO excited that I'm already planning the video that I'm doing for it... three weeks in advance... I just realized how little of a life I have... Anyhoo, I did a semi-documentary last year (the only reason it wasn't a FULL documentary's because it's only ten minutes long) and I want to do one again this year. What planning have I done? The opening title. "Hug A Ninja Productions." The end. HOORAY!!!
Okay, in other news, I've finally started up my piano and voice practice again (YAAY MUSIC!!!) and I started wearing contact lenses today. I'm doing those two-week disposable ones where you put them in daily and pitch them out at the end of two weeks. It's awesome. I'm not wearing them right now because the guy said that I should only wear them for two hours the first day, and sort of build until I get to a full day, just to get used to them. It's sort of the same thing with my glasses. I like my glasses a lot, though. It's just easier to have contacts because they're not getting in the way. But apparently, glasses look good on me. And I really like them. So... yeah. I guess what I'm most worried about (aside from poking my eye out when I'm putting the contacts in/ taking them out/ forgetting they're there) is... do I have to wear them for two weeks STRAIGHT, or is it a fourteen-time usage or something?
I've also been doing some writing - not a lot, but some. I will post when I have something decent to show. :D
