   Focus, FOCUS!
I've got to think of something to post about, and I've only got about an hour to do it, and write a post about it. What doesn't help is this IM window blaring at me every five seconds. *turns volume down*

Another random person that I've never spoken to before has come up and IM'd me. ^__^ It's always a fun experience to have that happen, but I wonder what drives a lot of them to do so. The past few have done so in response to the plea in my signature. I'm looking for people to duel online, and two OB members have answered the call thus far.

Yay...!

I got some more reading done in Flags, and I went to the mall this evening to pick up the book I needed for history. It is over 500 pages long, and I need to read it and write a paper on it in the next two weeks. In addition to the other summer readings books.

(Incidentally, the fourth story I had forgotten about is Billy Budd)

I'm starting to feel the faint edges of panic, for some reason. I've got a whole bunch of reading to accomplish in the next two weeks, and a paper to write on top of that. And yet, here I am, writing in MyO and talking to people on AIM. Where is the panic now?! I'm not feeling it....


In my search for my misplaced summer reading assignment for history, I came across a bunch of letters from colleges that I never even opened. :p

I just didn't have the time for them during the school year, I guess. And I didn't feel that, as a Sophomore, those things were terribly important at the time. Fortunately, my natural packrat instincts saved me from throwing any of them out. ~_^ So maybe if I somehow manage to pull off an ungodly bit of Procrastinator King magic, I can get my summer assignments done and I can look through some college info.

Next Monday and Tuesday are Book Days for school. I need to get ahold of Christina and see what books she's going to need, because I still have mine from Freshman year. (Packrat-itude!) Christina and her mom aren't in the best of financial positions, so I decided a few books would make a great aid. (Considering some of them cost $50-100) Victoria is getting whichever ones she needs that Christina doesn't. I'm calling it a belated graduation gift to the two of them.

With Book Days coming up next week, it gets me wondering: Where the heck is my schedule? I need to know what classes I'm taking, and what books I need for those classes. I'd rather not find out the very day I need to go in and buy the books. For all I know, my schedule is not at all feasible, and I may need to make adjustments. If I do that, I may need another whole set of books. O_o;

So, I called up the Guidance Office this evening, but unfortunately nobody was there. So, I'm going to either call them up tomorrow or head up there with a parent. I'd really like to know what is going on. Additionally, I've still got to turn in a parental consent form saying that my parents think I can handle AP History. It was due June 4th, but my parents were away at the time. So I went and got an extension from Mr. Currie, who teaches the class. He said get it to him in the summer and, heh, the summer is still here. ^_^;;

So, that'll be another reason I need to get in touch with St. B's.

I'm also supposed to call over to the library and make sure that the right person got the copy of my birth certificate. I'd really hate to go in next week and find out that I can't work because my papers haven't been processed. That would stink.

Mmmm....I'm going to go now and prepare some food for tomorrow. All the stuff we have for me to eat needs some work before it's ready, and I won't be patient enough tomorrow when I'm hungry to make it. So, adieu.
