SO...

My last post was in May. Sorry. One, life has been hectic since May. No, really, it's been REAL hectic. Faire, then the lake house, then SpoCon, and now today. Two, more worried about school and supplies. Especially after today. SO, from where my memory begins...

Faire - You know you're a good faire when you have people jumping the fence JUST to get in. As soon as I heard that, I was giddy. Also, Madrigals on Sunday? Scary. Very scary. I start singing Dona Nobis Pachem, and people are drawn like moths to a flame... Cool, yes. But still scary.

Lake House - RELAXATION. (Lack of exclamation point on ARM's laptop...) Nothing much to say.

SpoCon - Note to self: Con Raves are safe and can be fun. SpoCon was fun, much fun. A pro even commented on my shirt - she liked the design. I am happy.

Today - You know you are insane when you walk to and from school for 20 minutes, in 95 degree weather, and nearly pass out when you get home. And you have a sense of accomplishment at that last part. Then again, the last time I (nearly) passed out was when I was in the 5th grade, so this time, instead of freaking out, I simply told myself, "No, you are not passing out in the middle of the field. Most especially when you have a certain schedule in hand." I was able to remain calm, got into the house, a drink of water, and promptly informed mom of the situation. Thank heaven the basement is freakin' cold...

Oh, and I have a new computer now. We weren't expecting it until Monday. It came today. I did a happy dance in my head. Even signed for the thing. Cannot wait to get it up.

My schedule involves two English classes (Pre-IB English and Journalism, first and last period, respectively), Spanish (thinking about changing it to American Sign Language - I am not crossing the entire school and then going up a flight of stairs just to get to my third class of the day (counting 0 hour)), Chamber Choir (as homeroom), Pre-IB Geometry (if I had gone with normal Geometry, I had a huge chance of being taught by a Greenwood Member), Drafting and Design, and 0 hour Divas Choir. I got the two English teachers I was hoping for, too. I am happy. ...save for Spanish...

...Now I want Dad to get home so I can get that new computer set up.
