HAPPY DAY!!!!

PHYSICS IS DONE! OVER! GONE! KAPUT! NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN (by me, anyways)! A PART OF THE PAST! ENDED! FINISH!
I can't think of any more words, but I think you get the point.


English was good too. 


This is my song

*physics is over, physics is done, never to be seen again, physics is over, done forever*

*physics is over, physics is done, never to be seen again, physics is over, done forever*

*physics is over, physics is done, never to be seen again, physics is over, done forever*

*physics is over, physics is done, never to be seen again, physics is over, done forever*

*physics is over, physics is done, never to be seen again, physics is over, done forever*

*physics is over, physics is done, never to be seen again, physics is over, done forever*

1 Down...

OK, not to brag but, I TOTALLY ACED MY ART EXAM!!! Now if only I could say that for the rest of my exams... I have my English and physics exams on Monday and my chemistry exam on Wednesday.  Might go to laser quest tonight, let off a little stress shooting people with lasers!

Goodreads

Notice anything different? No? What a shame, cause if I don't tell you, you probably won't notice.  But since I've mentioned it, you probably scrolled down and saw the spiffy new Goodreads widgets.  Goodreads is a website with a bunch of books on it (more than a bunch, basically all of them), and you can make an account and track to books you've read, books you want to read, and the books you're reading right now.  So these widgets just let you know what I'm up to reading wise.  That way I don't have to tell you.  The site also has quotes that other users have added and that you can "like".  So those are quotes I like.  At the very bottom I added my 2012 reading challenge.  I'm thinking that considering I've already read 6 books that I might have to change my goal....  It's amazing how easy these websites make it to add stuff like that.  Goodreads has the code all typed up for you, and Blogspot has a place for you to put it, bada-boom, bada-bing!  You've got a widget!

Panic

OMG EXAMS START THIS FRIDAY!!!!!! It's only my art exam (not to say it's less important than the others, but it will be my easiest exam) but I'm still freaking out.  I really need to stop playing TT (I have 29 floor now!) and spend more time studying.  I like to think that I am a very self disciplined person.  If I need to do something by a certain time, I make sure it is done.  When the alarm goes off in the morning, I get up (I used the snooze button once a couple years back and I was thrown off all day).  I know that homework is a priority, but I also think that it is okay to have some time to do what I want.  Unfortunately, with exams coming up, I can't really afford free time.  It's just so hard to sit and study for hours at a time.  I also think that I need to change/add to the way I study.  OK, I can't do this: just talking about exams is freaking me out.  I probably won't post for a week, I'll be studying (with occasional breaks to play TT).  Song of the day is Life After You - Daughtry.  I can't remember whether I've done this song before or not...

...Stuff...

I want to give a shout out to Jeanine who, as far as I know, posted every single day on her blog last year.  I now realize how hard that must have been.  She also took a picture everyday, I would get sick and tired of moving the memory card from the camera to the computer, back and fourth, back and fourth.  Clearly, I am not posting every day.  I really want to change that, but its hard, especially with exams in just over a week. A WEEK!!!  Good news though, my mark in chemistry right now is high enough that if i fail the exam, I will still pass the course! Not that I'm planning to fail....  I've been reading some more of my book, finally been able to put TT (Tiny Tower) down...but not for long.  I've got 20 floors! And I've upgraded my elevator all the way...not that you know what that means.... My song of the day is Distance - Christina Perri.  Really love this song, she voices what I think a lot of girls probably feel.

TINY TOWER!!!



OMG I am obsessed with Tiny Tower!!!!!! It's an app.  And it is so addicting!  And having it right now is really bad cause I should/could be studying... Not much to say... Seriously panicking about exams, but what else is new?  I haven't read any of my book lately, been playing Tiny Tower!  Slowly been working on my application to work at FCC over the summer, I want to be a counselor.

*sigh* Exams

 
I should be studying right now, but I figured I could take a little break.

...........


So I just spent a lot longer doing other various computer related things than I thought I would, so now I really do need to get back to studying...

Quotes

After a long and painful debate about which painting I'm going to do for my final art project (I hate making decisions) I have decided to do Hassam - Sunset at Sea.  I had narrowed it down to that and The Blue House, but overall (given what we have to do for the project) I think Sunset at Sea will be easier.  Instead of the little boat I am going to put in a TARDIS (see picture).  Today my parents bought the Adele concert DVD.  Although this was slightly shocking, I have to admit that it's pretty cool.  She talks between songs about why she wrote it or just talks to the audience about stuff.  I'm thinking of quotes I could write in my Skywriting Journal.  Somewhere along the lines of Doctor Who and John Green quotes.  :)  Gotta love obsessions!

Lazy...

I recently watched Iron Man and Iron Man 2 for the first time, and I loved them!  I hope there is a third one. It's kind of funny, cause the girl on the cover doesn't ever wear that dress in the movie.  I finished putting up a quote on my wall today.  I would show you a picture, it's really cool, but the computer is not cooperating and letting me download photos. So I guess you won't see it, for now.  The quote says "Life is the art of drawing without an eraser."  - John W. Gardner.  I have been listening to music and doing Sudoku puzzles fro most of the afternoon...not very productive.  We went glo golfing this morning, that was fun, I came in second, but still 7 under par (the course isn't very hard and every hole has a par of 3).  I"m still putting away at my essay, at the editing stages now.  I have become obsessed with this site called GoodReads.  It the information about a lot of books on it, and you can make an account, and rate the books you've read, and make a list of books you want to read.  One thing I really like about it is that it will give you recommendations based on the book s you've read and you want to read.  There is a goal for how many books you can read in a year.  I put my goal as 50, but that might be too low.  I've already read two books.  Well, technically I started the first one in 2011, but it still counts towards your goal.

School Is Coming...

I dread going back to school.  This always happens to me on holidays, I get so used to sleeping in and chilling in my pajamas, then the break ends and its is a cold slap to the face.  I am almost done my essay that I had to write over the break, I just have to finish off the conclusion paragraph.  One small problem, though, is that it is almost a page too long.  So I'm gonna have to go through and cut some parts out.  I hate it when that happens.  Although, my friend (who has to write the same essay) pointed out that I have it better off than she does, her essay is too short.  I guess I would prefer to cut stuff out than have to scramble to find more to say.  BTW, does anybody have another saying for 'each other'? Cause I think I've said it about 50 times in my essay and I feel so repetitive.  I also have to choose what painting I'm going to do for my final art project.  Out of these, which one do you like best? Or if you have any suggestions...
Hassam - Sunset at Sea

Chagall - The Blue House

Monet - Impression Sunrise

Marin - Lower Manhattan

Derain - Big Ben
