Summer!!

Well, summer has arrived for those of us in the northern hemisphere of this planet we call earth. Sadly enough, for me it does not mean the end of all things school. You see, they came up with this brilliant thing where when you switch schools, you get gipped out of a class! And of course that class happens to be World History, so I'm stuck doing it alllllll summer long, although not in summer school (thank the Lord), but in Independent Study summer school. Which basically means I do all the work without having to go to school... think of it as 1-subject home school, perhaps? Well anyways, this is extremely boring stuff and kinda annoying to have to do... but anything I write on binder paper or on a wierd note-taking SQ3R worksheets (that confuse me to death... but I have to complete anyways) I can use them on the "test". Do you realize it's been a whole year since I could use notes on a test??? My entire 10th grade year, not one of my teachers has allowed note-usage on tests... and now I get to use a strange amount of excess notes on these "tests".... odd isn't it??? Or is this how most highschools are and I'm just wierd casue of IB???

Anyways, this all affects my writing habits. For in the summer I write really well (in truth any time of the year-- but this only occurs in summertime) when I can be home alone and blast music and write. See the problem with night-writing is that there's two parents sleeping up the stairs who can hear a lot of what I do (which is very annoying, in case you didn't understand). Either way, I'm doing my IS (independent study-- not international studies, you bunch of wierd Mira Loma-program-obsessed-people!!!) during the prime alone-writing-time... so there goes all of that possiblity... *sighs* it's very annoying to have that taken away from me, but hopefully I'll find some time to finish editing chapters 5 & 6 (ToN) so that I can officially post them and really delve into chapter 7... which I so much want to do! But... for now we're stuck with what I got... so.. yeah.

Poems are actually going nicely... they're not too often, but they're not dead either, so I'm very happy about that. LoaP is going... interestingly well... I suppose. Chapter 3 came to a dead halt when it got wayyyy too personal for my own comfort (at the time). It's not supposed to be a fictional biography of my life... and it's almost turning into that... so... I'll have to go reassess some of my ideas and sort it out into the workable, loveable story I started out with.

I think that's all I have to say. I've been playing a lot of video games lately, which doesn't help writing... and reading is hard to do on my own time.. instead of school time... but I'm sure I'll figure it out! Good luck to you fellow Authors... if you're out there.... "Hello!!" *echo* .... *crickets chirp* well... I guess not. Hope your summer is going well... myself? (and I suppose anyone who evenutally might randomly read this...).
