going to league for track today. Actually i have to leave like right now... just waiting on Dad. Also just got back from math placement testing for UW. It was really easy... I hope I get into a class that fits my skill level because believe me, there isn't much there.
My life seems so simple and so confusing at the same time. I made a choice last week that is good, that I know to be good, and yet I can't convince myself that it was the right one. Hmm, don't know how to express that. Anyway... I'd better go. No music... i'm in too much of a hurry.

Friday Five time... can't skip a week, right?

1. Would you consider yourself an organized person? Why or why not?
Somewhat. I guess I am pretty organized for school purposes... my papers are always in the right folder or divider, and hardly ever creased or smudged. My room, however, is another story. What a disaster area...

2. Do you keep some type of planner, organizer, calendar, etc. with you, and do you use it regularly?
Yes, and no. I do write stuff in it, but I hardly ever check, and when I do pull it out it's usually at school, where I'm adding stuff that's already happened just because I'm bored.

3. Would you say that your desk is organized right now?
No. Not at all. I don't really work at my desk, ever.

4. Do you alphabetize CDs, books, and DVDs, or does it not matter?
Not in the least. As long as they're stacked nicely, I can call it good.

5. What's the hardest thing you've ever had to organize?
Ooh, good question. Probably my room, seeing as how I never organize it unless I move or something. God, college is going to take a LOT of organizational work.

Side note: what is with all the hookups? Some kind of spring fever bug escaping? huh?
it's been over a week since I last blogged. I really, really wanted to blog last night, but the stupid Blogger service wouln't let me access my blog. Jeez. And I was being philosophical and had all these ideas that I wanted to write down, about my life, about school, about everything. I guess I'll just have to recall it all and type it now. *Sigh* Anyway...

So one week of IB testing over and done with. It wasn't all that hard, really, except for the math, which kicked my butt. Yeah, I'll laugh when I see my scores in July and realize that I failed, because by then it won't matter. Hell, it doesn't matter now. So that went badly. But Bio and English seemed to go pretty smoothly, and since they're HL, that's all that matters (or at least they matter the most of the IB tests). It's actually been somewhat fun, because IB tests give us an excuse to go outside and play Frisbee, or skip class. Frisbee rocks, and soon it will replace track as my main after school activity.

Turns out the knot unraveled itself somehow.. wasn't really involved with that one. Anyway it kind of resulted in some favorable circumstances, at least from what I can see. I guess we'll see what happens. June 7th will be good times.

I think that as bloggers, each of us has a responsibility to find one random blog and read it faithfully. It shouldn't be somebody we already know (although keeping yourself posted on your friends isn't a bad idea, either). Blogs are meant to be happened upon and I think we should assist the process, and read about someone's life on the internet, because that is what they are for. Kind of a karma thing, if the first three sentences didn't explain it well enough.

Been playing lots of cribbage with me daddy... good fun. Helps to make up for my being an hour late two Friday nights ago. I'm pretty sure he's forgotten about it.. it's really just a matter of me justifying why I'm spending Friday/Saturday nights at home. I think it's good for me to get rest on the weekends - being out and about every night doesn't help that. Also, I can let loose a little after IB tests... hanging low until that happens.

well, study group is tonight. Better take off soon, or get ready to do so. More later, provided that my blog works.

you know what's good? a chopped frozen banana, mixed with light whipped cream and walnuts. it's like a cheap version of Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey, but without the chocolate and the extra fat. Probably more potassium, too.

And it's one more day up in the canyons
and it's one more night in Hollywood
if you think that I could be forgiven
I wish you would
