Summer vacation has been here for a week, and I'm already swamped with work. Of course, my family went to Japantown for a few days, and that was really fun. And my friend from Vegas visited and we got to hang out! But, because I'm graduating a year early, I have to complete two ten credit classes over the Summer: U.S. History and Chinese 2. I had thought it wouldn't be so...well, I'll just come out and say it, HARD! It's a tooooon of work! My independent study packets are HUGE (30 pages) and I get four of them each week. Of course, I know I got myself into this, so I really have no right to complain. *sigh* Oh well, it's just busy work. I also have summer work for AP Comp, but that is very fun! (Anything to do with English is fun.) I can't wait until I get to leave for my two week summer program at Hollins University! I get to take Creative Writing and Digital Storytelling, and if I complete the program, they'll give me $1000 towards college! So, I guess that's something I can think of to cheer me up. That, and llamas...they are such silly creatures.
