So recently, my life has been good (contrary to my last post, which was not about me. sorry for any confusion.). My social life is booming, my academic life is... Well, academic. And mentally, I'm more than 80% stable. Which is pretty fabulous.
So here's a recap of things that have recently happened in my life that I've been too lazy to blog about;
I had a massive project on Italy, the first in my advance/IB history class, and so I was pretty much spending every moment at home working on it. And then I could not find the right outfit to wear for the presentation, and I did my presentation notes last minute, and my PowerPoint slides would not work with my partner's, etc. But In the end, my stress and hard work paid off, because I got an A. Which I am very, very happy for.
General Twilight pandemonium. A ton of the guys at my school have been reading them, as well as us girls, and I've been having more and more really interesting discussions with them. They point out all kinds of things I did not notice.
The Green Mile (based on Stephan King's serial mini-series (or whatever you call it) The Green Mile) was on TV, and it's the only one of his movies that I like. So I got the book at my library, and am reading it. And it's really really good so far. Yay!
NaNoWriMo hasn't actually been going so well. I plod along, not making my word count, but I'm still having fun. I might not win this year, but I'll try again next time. My plot is still very, very, very hazy.
The second issue of my school paper is in the works, and I got assigned the story I really wanted (The Negative Effect of Video Games on Society) and it's... Coming along. It's due Wednesday, which brings up the next good thing...
Four day weekend! Thank you Veteran's Day!
I've been talking to Ben (of the 1107 variety) a bit more recently. That's always really nice, if not a tad bit depressing.
Dan (co writer of my other blog. well, he would be if he actually POSTED now and then!) came over again, and we hung out and were awkward and ate salad (some of us more than others) and walked around my neighborhood and talked about Monty Python a lot. He's a pretty rockin' dude.
Possibly the best one:
One of my best friends turned 16, and her birthday party was at a dance studio, for open swing dance lessons. It was possibly the most fun I have had in a long, long time. Because I was a 'follower' (aka chick), I rotated around the circle, dancing with every guy in the class. Sometimes this was cool, when there would be a guy who I could laugh with about how much I sucked at swing dancing, and not so cool when I had to dance with this older creeper type guy who wouldn't take his eyes off my face. Which is probably the best place he could keep them though...
And after the 1/2 hour lesson, it was just free-dance time from 8:30 to midnight. Which was terrific. I danced with all the guys in our group, and got picked up and dipped so low my feet left the ground. And I taught all the guys the girl's part, which they enjoyed. The best part though, was when the dance instructor just randomly came up and asked me to dance. And obviously, he was super good at it, but he was so good that it actually made me look good. And I had a blast dancing with him, and he said I was a very good at 'improving as a follower' because he would do all kinds of tricky moves and i guess I just followed his lead well. I'm totally going back and bringing more friends. It was really, really, really fun.
But yeah. I think that's all I needed to update. I'll try to do it more often...
