So school's moving along.
I've only received my AP Government textbook so far. And AP Biology but it's so big that we're allowed to leave it at home, and use another one in class if need be.

But my classes are pretty cool.
In the sense that they have cool people in them.
It still seems weird to write "12" under "Grade" on the first-few-days-of-school general information sheets that we all fill out, though. It's like I'm still in denial or something. A senior? Hah. Feels like a few months ago when I was a freshman. I mean, I dont know, I still remember 9th grade lunches pretty well. The rest of my schedule I COMPLETELY forget. lol :]

So life's good. I have a parking permit. I've seen my friends again. Yup.

Derek, you are like
a lifesaver.

If not for you, I wouldn't be updating this thing. Because I keep forgetting about it nowadays.
Ok maybe "lifesaver" isn't the word. My life doesn't depend on xanga or anything. lmao. But y'know. You keep me on track, haha.

So I drove down to school today to talk to a guidance counselor about my schedule. I'm missing a 3rd period, but that's because the study hall I intended to take is only offered 1st and 7th period. But first period I have A.P. Biology, which is ONLY offered then. 7th period I have A.P. Calculus BC, which is ONLY offered then. So I ran all around the school trying to find some teacher to aide for, so that I'll have a chill period where I can sometimes help the teacher but sometimes do my loads of homework.
I found Mr. Boxwell chillin' in front of his computer. I was like "MISTUH BOXWELLL."
He was like, "Oiiii Marikaaaa!"
I explained the situation, so now I'm aiding for him. YAY

Then I went to the library and saw Zach on the computer.
After stealing his sunglasses (normal procedure), I went to the information desk to ask a lady about some book I had to get.
Then all of a sudden Kyle's there and he's like "Marikaaa!" Turns out he was at the computer directly in front of Zach, but was hidden by the little cubicle wall thingees surrounding it. So I went over and leaned on the back of his chair and talked to him and Zach. Then I had to go talk to the info desk lady again. And some boy around my age was gawking at me from behind a glass window in the computer lab. Wayyy too interested. So I escaped and hid by Zach and Kyle's computers.

Then I went home and attacked my summer homework, but I still have a shitload. Wonderful.
I have to pack cuz I'm going on a mini-college-tour thingee until Saturday. ajfladsfjasf i have too much to do.

Derek brought up a good point the other day.

I have not updated this thing in ages!
I just get sucked in with myspace and vampirefreaks now. Which I never thought would happen.
Well, a vampirefreaks addiction was predictable.
But myspace?!

I guess it's just the addictiveness when you actually talk to enough people to be entertained.

But life-wise, things have been fine, I can't complain, but I'm going to anyways.

I have so much summer homework I don't know what to do with myself.

I really don't!

I have to write 2 extensive essays about 2 english books, one of which I haven't even read yet. I have to familiarize myself with some biblical and greek mythology terms or something (also english class) and I have to read a book about literature analysis, and I have to do my report on my biology book, then read another bio book then repeat that process, and I have to do my entire calculus assignment for level two calc next school year, and I have to continue to rewrite the entire constitution of the united states, then rewrite the 27 amendments.

Never use the phrase "I am taking ONLY" with the phrase "five A.P. classes."

So I haven't updated in a while, but school ended June 8th. It was a half day anyways. The last few days of school are always fun cuz nothing happens. There was just an awards ceremony on the last day. We spent 3 hours in homeroom, because the freshmen awards assembly was first, then the sophomore awards assembly, then finally our assembly. So my homeroom teacher let me go to Stephanie's classroom since next to no one was in ours. And I took funny videos and a lot of my friends besides Stephanie were in there and it was fun fun.

So this week (Monday thru Friday) was the first official week where we normally would have school but because of summer break, we don't. So that's exciting. I finished my A.P. Spanish summer work already, and I'm working on my A.P. Biology. I have to read a book about anthrax, and while it's pretty scientific at some points, it's actually really good. So I wanna try to read that in a week and hurry up and get the write-up for that done. But we'll see.

So yeah. As of now, I just need a job. I have to turn in my application haha. :)

I FINALLY got my license today. I was way overdue for it. Gosh. lol

Remember these?

Well, "remember" is the wrong word. Those "Take a penny leave a penny" things? Yeah.

When I was little, I thought that if you put a penny in there, you had to take one out too. And it confused me because if you did that, nothing changed. There were still the same amount of pennies in the thing as when you started.

And just now, I was studying some physics, when I re-remembered that if you put one in, you don't have to take one out. But I would feel bad taking one out and not putting one back in, because I"m just taking it. But it's only a penny, so I guess that's the point, because it's so trivial nobody cares if you snag one from there, or donate one.

I think of irrelevant things when I do my physics work.
