Nothing much to say besides Goodbye.

Hello.
Wow it's been a while since I've last posted. I've been pretty busy. Do you think the summer is relaxing? Think again! It's really not. Especially if you have to drag your sorry little butt out of bed before eight in the morning so you can go to swimming lessons. On the morning of our endurance swim, I honestly don't believe I was fully awake until at least the third lap. So glad swimming lessons are over. Until Monday. Then at Girl Scout camp, I get to "learn to swim" again. Like I haven't already graduated swimming lessons or anything. Do you people like swimming? I enjoy it, as long as I don't have to do so many laps in so little time.  I'm leaving Sunday, so goodbye.

Fibich and pictures!

Hi.
So I was going to upload these pictures, like, a week ago. But I couldn't find my camera. I found it maybe 5 minutes ago. Anyone want to guess where it was? It was, *gasp* put where it was supposed to be! No wonder I couldn't find it. Anyways, here are the pictures:

Philip loves having his picture taken.
I had my violin recital Saturday, and Angela filmed me playing, and I think I did pretty well. I'm glad I'm done with that Sonatina, it was getting a bit old. It's amazing how different a song will sound with the piano. Sorry for the bad quality video.





Like it?

After the zoo.

Hello.
     The zoo is a strange place. Very strange. I think it's just as interesting if not more so to watch the people that go to the zoo, than it is to watch the actual animals. And today was a very good day for people watching, because it seemed like every single school decided that today would be the perfect day to go on a field trip to the zoo. This made animal viewing a bit harder. But most of the field trips had finished up about one, so we had plenty of time to go see all the giraffes, hippos, wombats, and tortoises that one would ever want to see.
     I don't want to see another giraffe, hippo, wombat, tortoise, or whatever for a long, long, long time. I don't ever want to put shoes on again. Or tell anyone not to chase geese because they will bite (surprise, surprise). I don't actually really want to do anything besides eat dinner, read manga, and play D&D.
Goodbye.

Is this book reading challenge unreachable?

Hello folks.
I know a lot of people this year are doing a reading challenge. It looked like fun, so I challenged myself to read 700 books this year.
I just now realized that it's a completely unreachable goal.
Let's just add that to my list of blonde moments, shall we? If anyone reading this is doing a reading challenge, how many books are you hoping to read?? And should cookbooks count (for some strange reason, I absolutely adore reading cookbooks)? I know this is a short post, but I don't have much to post about at the moment besides this, and the fact that I have a huge recital coming up. Yikes.

Moushiwake arimasen!

For those who don't speak Japanese, I am very sorry. I really did mean to start posting regularly. But, as always, I forgot. I remember historic dates better then I do posting. Although to my defense, the computer did crash, I do have a huge test coming up that I've been studying for, and I've got my biggest violin recital of the year coming up. But there has still been time for me to post. I just haven't. Instead, I've spent my free time reading manga and cookbooks, playing Sims 3, and drinking tea. Quite productive if you ask me.

I've also been trying to figure out what to give my brother for his birthday.

What do you give a one year old??? 

I've decided to make him a cake. Who doesn't like cake (besides Angela)?

Well, I might be slightly cranky...

Konbanwa.

If you read my last post, you know that I tend to get in a bad mood if I'm tired. Well, I also get into a bad mood if I'm sick. Yeah I was sick this week. So basically, I just stayed in bed, learned how to draw manga (I am so bad at it, it's funny.), and listened to Hatsune Miku (If you don't know who that is, look her up. She's awesome). It got boring pretty fast.

Another reason I may be slightly cranky, I ripped a hole in the seat of my favorite jeans. I didn't know I did. My little sister noticed, but did she tell me? Noooo. Instead she let me go out in public. With a big hole in my pants.

And the third reason for my crankiness, my shoulder rest broke. Again. My mother dearest got me a really nice shoulder rest for Christmas, and about 2 months afterwards, I was playing violin at my lesson, and my shoulder rest broke. The wood literally cracked. So we sent the shoulder rest back, and we got replacement. Yeah it broke in the same way. So now I'm back to the good old Kun.

But I'm not all that cranky anymore. I'm no longer sick, Angela said that she could help me make my ripped jeans into a skirt, and I got a new shoulder rest. I'm also going to go see a play with my best friend in a hour or two. :) I've heard the play is really good, and I know one of the actresses. So goodbye, sayounara.

Victory.

I love sleep. Who doesn't? Sleeping is awesome, and when I don't get enough I turn into a cranky witch. People with even a little sense know to avoid me when I don't get enough sleep. I have Western Civilization on Wednesdays, and since I procrastinate, I almost always end up doing my homework late Tuesday night. Mother dearest insists I go to bed at 11:30 no later, so I have on more occasions then I like to admit ended up working on homework at the crack of dawn, and- I really hate to admit this- in the car on the way to class. I should seriously stop procrastinating. But tonight, I finished my homework in record time. I finished at 8:27. So yay me, I actually get to sleep more then 5 hours!
Yeah I'm going to go to bed now.
Oyasumi,
