Cue the Final Fantasy Victory Music!!

So I'm so happy to say that I'm done with my English summer assignment! Now all I gotta do is print it and I'll be the happiest person in the world!

Now that I'm finally done with my English homework I gotta pick up the slack and work on my Spanish homework that I've sadly ignored since my Yosemite trip. Luckily it's just verb stuff which thank God that I have an entire book with just verb tenses and what not. So I can easily breeze past that and study up a little bit before school which starts in nine days.

Now today me and my sister were supposed to get our Whooping cough shots, but since it's stupidly expensive to get them at Walgreens, our mom's gonna schedule an appointment for tomorrow at a doctor's. And thank goodness for that since I watched Intervention just last night and saw a lady inject crystal meth in her arm.

I was pretty disgusted when I saw that, cause I was like, "What makes people do this?" This woman was picking skin off her face and it was just plain scary. I'm still amazed people consider doing drugs making them "happy" when in the end, they just look disgusting from all the damage it is doing to their body. It's convinced me enough to never do anything stupid like that.

Anyway, yesterday I saw the movie The King's Speech and I just loved it. It's about King George VI and his struggle with his stammer when he sees speech therapist, Lionel Logue. It's a really great historical film and very enjoyable even when Colin Firth bursts out swearing. I have to say though it's really hard to adjust to Geoffrey Rush when he goes from a pirate with a "scraggly beard" to a formal and clean Australian speech therapist. I really recommend this movie for anyone. And other than swearing, it's not that bad of an R-rated film.

So this Friday, me and my sister have our orientations and schedule pick-ups. Hopefully I'll have the same classes as some of my friends so we can work on homework together. And this year I've been told that there's gonna be a newspaper club and I plan to join that and hopefully no one will go crazy on the freedom of speech thing and get the club shut down.

XOXO,

Laziness and Homework

Haven't been having too many events happening recently. My days have been consisting working on my summer assignments and watching Soul Eater via Netflix. I got brownie points from my anime guru Travis for finally watching it. Will get a review on Soul Eater as soon as I can.

As for my summer assignments, I'm slowly progressing my way to finishing them. Mostly focusing on my English 10 assignment cause it's ridiculously long...Kinda reminds me that I need to figure out how to get the computer hooked up to the printer so I'll be able to print stuff.

So next week is me and my sister's orientation and schedule pick up for school. On top of which we still need our Whooping Cough shots. Still not looking forward to that. Oh well, as long as it's being done by a professional who knows how to handle a syringe, I'll be fine.

I still find it funny how our first day of school is on a Thursday and then a couple days later we have the weekend off. Least we get some time to get used to a new year. The only sucky part: Last day of school is on June 8th. Why we have ridiculous vacations, I'll never know.

XOXO,

I am going to lose my mind

Why you may ask? Summer assignments....

So for my sophomore year I signed up for Spanish 3 Honors and Advanced English 10. Both of those have summer assignments. Spanish 3 is no biggie cause I just have to memorize nine different grammatical tenses and their endings... Okay now that I look at it, it sounds like a lot of work. But not as much as Advanced English.

For Advanced English I have to read these three books:

1.Animal Farm by George Orwell
2.1984 by George Orwell
3.Anthem by Ayn Rand

And then I have to write seven log entries for each book, annotate the seven quotes I've chosen for each book, and then for my favorite book of the three I have to find, read, and write a one-page reflection for two current news articles related to the book.

This is me when I found out I have so much work and only two months to do it.


And this is me afterwards.

This isn't going to end well...

Well my first order of action: Get my little brunette butt to the library ASAP.

Adiós amigos!

XOXO,
Liz
