After Exams

So this is it...the grand finale. The two weeks we've all been waiting for. As the stress engulfs my very being, I'm trying to remember everything. This is not a very good mix.

But this, my friends, is the bright side. This will all be over in two weeks. And it will be wonderful, magical, and most excellent.

I'm excited to have the time to watch Lost again...yes I have become one of the people that I mocked just a few short months ago. I can also spend more time with my neopet, I can finally beat Pokemon: Gold (I'm on the last trainer), and I can finish up on the various books I'm reading. Plus I can finally find a job and perhaps hang out with my friends.

It'll be quite excellent, don't you think?

"Oh Yeah, it's Thursday"

I just finished with my piano lesson, finally giving me a time to relax since 7 AM this morning. I was halfway through typing the URL to The Power Bloggers when asked myself who was writing today. " Oh Yeah, it's Thursday" rushed to me and I promptly signed and wrote this cute little anecdote which has take up a grand total of 68 words of space. Fantastic!

What to write about now? Well.. I could talk about how I attended our high school's 10th anniversary celebration and saw Mrs. Carlson for the first time since she retired. And I could mention how I took a picture with her, and gave her my email. And also, I could tell you guys that she's happy in retirement. Whoops.. I guess I just told you guys all that!

Well, I could mention how stressed I've been. Oh wait- that's what I talked about last week!

- Today is my sister's birthday!-

I could talk about anything, really. I could ramble, forming run-on sentences that go, and go, and go, forming new sentence that lead into newer fragments. that aren't quite. sentences. I could bore you by reciting what I could do. Wait a minute..


Life is reach a quality that makes my early childhood seem surreal. I wish the people who told me, when I was young, that that was going to be the easiest and best time of my life had found a way to make me understand and believe them. My childhood is slipping away as I grab a hold of responsibilities and opportunities. It's not that I don't want to grow up; I just want more time to do the kind of exploration that I used to do as a kid- but instead of searching for four-leaf clovers and inventing new Pokemon species, I'd dedicate my whimsical free time to more serious, interesting, and rewarding subject (like biology). See, already, just writing "biology" has caused my heart to flutter with panic as I remember the test I have tomorrow, my internship application, and any un-finished assignments. Life as a human being is tough. We were both cursed and blessed with the concept of self-awareness.

Okay, enough philosophy for one night. Enough Jonathan for one night.

I'm going to bed. Ha! No, I'm actually going to go study my ever expanding list of subjects to study.

Why Yes, I Am NOT Free!

So it has begun. "What has begun," you unknowingly ask. I'll tell you what, I have no more free time, and I'll break it down into three things.

1. Seussical- Okay, so yes, I am thrilled that I got such a great part- but to be honest; do we really need this many rehearsals? And on Fridays too!? Yeesh! I mean, I'm glad I'll be prepared and all, but it's seriously cutting into my time when the play is still more than two months away.
2. Mock Trial- Okay, so this one is definitely my fault to some extent. We waited a little long to pull this all together, but now that we've met, the ball is rolling- mind you at a breakneck speed. We're scheduling a ton of meetings (though I can't make it to half of them- SEUSS!- so I'm not sure how far I'll fall behind). Fortunately this ends in late February.
3. History Fair- OMG OMG OMG. Due in 4 days. Holy crap. Holy crap. I've done no research and I'm doing a website! CRAP CRAP CRAP. My weekend is shot to hell.

I'm particularly feeling the crunch this weekend, what with a Mock Trial meeting I can't attend due to a Seussical rehearsal from 9am-4pm. I also have my entire History Fair project to do.

Don't expect to see my face around for the next week.
