Dare You To Move

Ugh. I don't know why, but I just can't muster up the drive to update in any sense of regularity lately. Part of it is school, but the majority is just me being lazy and not wanting to do anything else other than sleep and read fanfiction all day.

However, I only have three days left of school (Monday is the last full day, then Tuesday and Wednesday are finals, so those are half days), so hopefully, after school ends, I'll post more often. I'll probably be reading a lot, but I hope that will help me post more.

Speaking of school, though...

I can't believe my freshman year of high school is nearly over. I'm not sorry it's over, but it is strange. To think, in three years' time, I'll be a high school graduate! That's a scary thought, but I can't wait. I just want my life to start, you know? To be able to get out, do something, get a job, even though I know it's not as glamorous as I sometimes think it is.

I wish I could concentrate on that, but I've got to concentrate on the last three days of school. Then I can just relax and do nothing. (Wow, that thought sounds so good right now. I haven't really been able to do nothing for so long...)

On Monday, nothing is really happening. In World Studies, we are having a Risk/food day, where we just play Risk and eat food. Then, in French, we are going to have a party, which also requires food. Even though I have to record an oral reading that day in French, I am bringing cupcakes and brownies to both of the classes. I haven't decided which treat goes to which class, but I'll figure it out. And in my other classes... in Accelerated Physical Science, I am just going to work on my final, and in gym, we're just going to play field hockey. So, easy.

Of course, finals...

The two hardest are on the same day: Tuesday. Not that they're overly hard, but I still am not one hundred percent sure what we're going to have to do in World Studies, other than naming 125 things on a world map. Hopefully, it'll be easy. In French, it's written (I will do the oral part Monday), which is something I excell in. In Accelerated Physical Science, it's just a presentation and a four-page paper on a topic of our choice (which is, in my case, nuclear fission and fusion). Gym's final is written, although the physical fitness tests I did Wednesday and today are also part of it.

So far, I am most stressed over World Studies and Accelerated Physical Science. World Studies because I am not sure what's going to be on it, and Accelerated Physical Science because I know I have to get a pretty damn near perfect score if I want to get on high honor roll this semester -- and incidentally, I hate presentations with a fiery passion.

I'll be fine, though. I'm pretty sure I'm one of the best students in our grade. I just have to make sure I don't procrastinate.

In other news (although this is slightly connected to finals, in that it has to do with the physical fitness test part of my gym final):

From the beginning of the semester, I increased the number of ab curls and push-ups I could do by twenty. Each. At the beginning of the semester, I could only do 14 ab curls and 16 push-ups, but now I can do 34 and 36, respectively. So that is definitely really, really good.

Tomorrow, I will probably write book reviews.  If I don't procrastinate, obviously.
