I'm still here!!! =)

I know, I know! I must have been shipped to another country, devoid of Internet access, completely cut off from the rest of the world, because what other reason could I possibly have for not blogging for practically five months?! Outrageous, I know. Sorry. ;)

Seriously, though, I have been pretty busy and through all that has transpired, there wasn't much I wished or had time to talk about here. :( Anyway, so let's get caught up a bit...

Summer was not as I expected it to be, but not in a bad way, though half of those things on my list I made before summer did not happen. That's ok though, I had a nice, relaxing summer. Camp was amazing, as always, and our family vacation was different, but nice all the same. Summer reading, which consisted of four books was just lovely and made even lovlier when I found out most of my teachers didn't care if you read them over the summer or once school started. That was fine, though, because I was done with them; I just hope I remember what happened in each, when we do work with them.

This year, junior year, the most important year of highschool, has so far been crazy and stressful, and I'm sure it will become crazier and more stressful as the year goes on. I'm trying not to dwell too much on that fact, because I can't control what will happen, I can only be prepared for it, and somethings I won't be able to prepare for. So I will take it as it comes. (=

Of course now we have to worry not only about highschool, but also college. I can't believe I have to send out applications soon! I'm still undecided about where I want to go and what I want to do. I don't understand how some people can just pick one thing and decide "this what I want to do in ten years." It's insane!
Well, I suppose I'll figure it out, eventually. ;)

Back in highschool, I'm still trying to figure out how to fit everything into my schedule, whilst adding even more to my plate. I'm trying not to overwhelm myself and still have room for fun. It's not easy, but hopefully it'll work out. It's nice being involved, though, as long as I know my priorities. Speaking of which, I joined First Priority, a Christian club, at my school. I've only been to the first two meetings, so I don't know too much about it yet, but it seems like something worthwhile.

Today, we received a welcome Tuesday off school. I got to go to breakfast with one of my friends from camp, who was the leader of our group, which was really nice, and I plan to spend the rest of the day doing homework. Such is the life of a junior. (=

Edited: Oh and I found that I did attempt a post twice over the summer, but for some odd reason, I never finished them. Hmm...maybe because one was about Breaking Dawn (which was, of course, awesome!) and I felt the need to read was intensely stronger than the need to blog...hmm... (=
