Wednesday, July 14

Segway and Segue are not the same, even though they sound the same.

Alright! So I've set myself a goal, and this one I'm making an effort to meet. I told myself back in June that I was going to do the impossible- I was going to finish all of my summer homework by the beginning of July. Like I said, I knew it was impossible, and I failed to meet the goal. So now, I've given myself until Friday, July 30 to finish everything, and so far, it's looking like I can do it. So I'm kind of excited for this. Hopefully, my easily distractedness won't get the best of me.
Speaking of being easily distracted, I've downloaded Plants vs. Zombies, one of the best games ever! It's so much fun, and it really provides a challenge. During the summer, I really don't know why, but I tend to do more things that work my brain than I do during the school year. I guess it's because when I'm at school, I already use my brain a lot, so when I don't during the summer, I tend to lean towards watching Cash Cab, and playing strategy or word games. But the weird thing- I love to read, but during the summer, I really just can't seem to sit down and read a book like I can during the school year. Maybe it's because books become a better distraction for me during the school year, while in the summer, I have plenty of other distractions. I don't know. It was just a guess.
And, while I'm thinking of Cash Cab (I'm segueing quite awesomely), I really have been watching a lot of TV lately. One of my favorite shows is America's Got Talent. It's really a lot of fun to watch people do amazing things :) Anyway, right now the top 48 contestants are preforming live in Hollywood, and these are the three I voted for last night- Future Funk (so adorable!), Fighting Gravity (mind blowing!), and Nathaniel Kenyon (this is his Las Vegas audition- he was sick during the top 48 one, and besides, this one is better. He's pretty good). Can't wait for tonight's performances!
And, I almost lost my ability to segue. But I just remembered where I was going, so I stopped segueing and just changed topics :)
So I've been listening to a lot of music this week, and I've decided that I enjoy The Fall of Troy, Go:Audio, and You Me At Six, along with kind of... rediscovering, I guess you could say, Cute Is What We Aim For and Attack Attack! (not to be confused with Attack! Attack!). I'll just put one of my favorites by per band up here...
Panic Attack! by The Fall of Troy
Liquid Confidence (Nothing to Lose) by You Me At Six
Take the Floor by Go:Audio
Bro, Ashley's Here by Attack Attack!
Loser by Cute Is What We Aim For
yup. Right! I was going to talk about my ant bites next :)
I'm really allergic to ants, so when I get bit, the bites swell up a lot. Which kind of sucks. Anyway, so I got one right below my big toe, and it swelled up and conquered my entire foot (this is not an exaggeration), and then I have two on my other foot almost right next to each other, and while they haven't expanded too much, they're super itchy. So, yesterday, while I was working on my homework, I started drawing (it's actually very hard to draw on your feet. Who'd have thought?!) I drew ants attacking my feet where the bites were, and then, I drew one stick figure per ant, complete with it's own sword, shield, and angry face, and called them the Anti-Itch Warriors. Yesterday, two of them were battling it out with two ants, while the other one couldn't get past the giant force field that safely contained one huge ant. Today, that force field was destroyed, and the ant is on the run. On the other foot (heh), the ants have been destroyed, and the Warriors are in the process of containing the poison from the bites, and will (hopefully) finish the job tomorrow >:]
So kids, the moral of that story is, "don't stay inside too long. You could go crazy." Maybe I'll go to the park tomorrow.

I think I might try and finish my homework by then, too...that would be a good idea.

See, I've decided to do history, then english, and then sometime during one of those, write my review for a movie in spanish to finish that up as well. But this one section I'm on in history- uh... Colonization, I think it is- it's SO FREAKING LONG! I started working on it at like, 10 this morning, did 3 sections. Then I just did another like, 4 sections, and I just counted and I have THIRTEEN MORE! It sucks. I hate it. On the bright side, it's a little bit better than the books because they're shorter, but still. It's boring, and I've been trapped inside all day long. I'm not liking my plan for homework right now. But it's gotta get done some time, ya know? :/

i've got the book or english, and i started reading it, but it's really boring, so i stopped. i'm on that stupid colonization part of the history thing too, though. i think i might try to finish it today...

Rian said...

Tomorrow (... or today...), I'm gonna finish the cornell notes, and then I'll have the history done by Monday.
I kinda figured that the book was boring, but then again, so is every other friggin assignment we have to do, so I guess I'll just have to suck it up and concentrate, huh? I really don't wanna do the research, though- I feel like I might go overboard and spend a whole day researching random stuff that doesn't need to be looked too deeply into...

Kris said...

yeah, i'm almost done with the cornell notes, but the vocab part, which I kinda started a while ago, seems like it's going to take a very long time as well...
and the english research just makes me mad. it's really pointless.
