Finally! Now I can stop procrastinating and actually get things done! Hopefully.
I've made a list of things I've been putting off and, huh, it's a lot longer than I thought it would be. Oh well, I've had my share of fun for this break, so now it's time to crack down on the important stuff; like reading my Princeton Review, so that I'll be partially prepared for my AP exam! Oh joy! I can hardly control my enthusiastic eagerness!
Anyway, aside from being stuck on "going green," my interests lately have included reading/watching movies of the eighteenth century, particularly in England. It was really an interesting age, from what I've gathered, which isn't too much. Right now, I'm reading Pride and Prejudice, and it is so much better than Wuthering Heights, let me tell you. Well, they're both good, but there is something about Pride and Prejudice that is just intriguing. And if you really comprehend everything that is said, it's quite humorous. The movie with Keira Knightley was also really good. It was ironic because I had wanted to start the book over the break and on Friday night I was looking for something to watch and it just happened to be on. Although, if I wanted to watch it again, it's not like I can go to the Blockbuster that used to be around the corner... or the next closest one, because they closed them down. Right when I needed them most :-( Oh well...
Oh yeah! I forgot to mention the best news of all! I may be going to EUROPE next year!!!! I can't wait, I'm so excited!!! I know it's not until next year's spring break, and I'll certainly have to get a job to help pay for it, and my parents are still not giving me a definite answer (although it seems like they are leaning a lot more toward the 'yes' end), but it should be an AMAZING experience and I've always wanted to go to Europe. By the way, it's to London, Paris and the Alps. London, with Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and those double decker buses; Paris, with the Eiffel Tower, the Lourve, and Versailles; and the Alps' fairlytale castles, beautiful countryside and mountains. And of course, neutral Switzerland!! Hopefully, complete with snowfall!! :-D
I don't think I'll mind the year wait or the eight hour plane ride.

P.S. I don't know if you have noticed, but I'm very meticulous when it comes to grammer and spelling, so if you see something here and it's just bugging the heck out of you, let me know and I'll fix it. I felt compelled to mention this because I was just reading over all my blogs (wow, it's been a long time since I started), and almost every one had a mistake in it. I know, only I would care, but seriously. I saw this guy on the news the other day and he travels all around the U.S., finding advertisments, like on restaurant signs and such, that have mistakes in them. It was good to know there's someone else out there who's more obsessed than I am. lol
