Summer. Yay.

Well, looks like I survived AP. Somehow.

And look, school's ended. I'm so happy. Now I get to spend my summer resting! ...not.

So, what happened to summer vacation being... y'know... a vacation? I have craptons of homework for AP English and AP Chemistry. Thank heavens AP Calc and AP Government decided not to invade my summer. Not that it makes much of a difference. I'm looking at, at the very least, a good 50 hours of homework, probably more, because it looks like I'll need to do extra review for the chem assignment since I last took a chem class two years ago.

What? Me? Complain? Never...

Although, happy things do happen. For one, looks like I'll get to host a Japanese exchange student long-term (a few months, anyway) next year. Very, very excited about that, even if it means I have to help my mom clean the entire house this summer. Plus, I may be getting an online Japanese penpal this summer.

...too bad my email program won't seem to display Japanese characters. Not sure if it's the computer or the program, but so far I haven't been able to figure it out.

Also, this is the Writing Summer. College essays, many. Short stories, hopefully many. Novels, hopefully at least one. I'm setting aside the first hour or three of my mornings for writing. We'll see how well that works out.

Because, you know, the best-laid plans...
