I need to write more often

I don't really have an excuse, either. I haven't been particularly busy. The highlight of the last week is that I now have $150 saved for my laptop. I'm a little unsure about which one I want to buy thought, so I've been laptop-hunting. Also, I got my debit card today! Now I can actually put money in my account without the hassle of all of those little pieces of paper. It may be easier if I was more organized, but I'm not. I was organized once. That was a long time ago, though.

It turns out I may not be able to take Publications for a year. I think it's the only way I can get all of my art credits along with Computer Tech and a foreign language. I wanted to take Spanish (or French, if then ended up hiring one), but I guess that won't work. My mom thinks I should take ceramics or sculpting for my arts credits because then I won't get as frustrated. I guess she's right, but it still seemed a little harsh to say. I hate art. Well, not art, just my art. I have no artistic abilities. I'm a writer. Which I definitely think is an art, just not a "fine art."

Only 10 more days left of school. It's crazy. I kind of wish summer break wouldn't be quite as long as it is. I'm excited for break, but I'm also excited for sophomore year. It may make me a nerd in the eyes of some people, but I like school. I want to get out and see the world, but at the same time, I think education is important.

I may get to go to California with my dad over the summer. My mom wants him to go over the summer so he can see his parents and siblings, and depending on how everything goes, I may get to go. That would be amazing. Really. Plus, I'm thinking that maybe my grandpa and I can talk college. Maybe I could even go and tour Humbolt State. I'm not sure if I really want to go there, but it would just be cool to go and look around campus.

The finales of my shows are coming up. It's pretty pathetic, but I always get into tv shows. Tonight is Next Top Model, Criminal Minds, and CSI: NY. I'm not even sure why I watch ANTM, but I do. I guess I got into it cause that's what Emily always watched before Criminal Minds.

My mom says that I should play an instrument, like piano or guitar. It'd be awesome, but I don't really know where to start. I guess I should probably re-learn to read music. I can still remember most of the notes of the violin--where they are, I mean--but I can't read music to save my life. I guess that  isn't all that surprising, since I haven't played an instrument since fifth grade.

I now have yet another pair of ruined headphones. I wear them out. My latest pair of SkullCandys was actually pretty new, but now they only work if I hold the cord in just the right spot. Otherwise, the sound only works in one ear, or goes in and out as I'm walking, which almost makes me feel sick.

Turns out I've got a B- in Engineering. I hate that class. I really need to get my shit together and finish (start) the reverse engineering project. There's no way I'll be able to get a decent grade if I don't. It's not a huge deal to me to get straight A's, I just like getting good grades. It's going to be important.
