This is what I want to be when I grow up

Doctor Whooves

And that basically sums up why I love "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" so much.

Two finals down, five to go!

I just finished my Geometry final--yay! Math has never been my favorite subject, so I'm glad to have it over with. My theatre final was last Thursday, and it was actually really fun--not to mention a kajillion times easier than last year's theatre, which required a decent set, costumes, props, and memorization of many lines--not to mention, unlike my peers, I wrote the script myself. This year, I simply preformed a 30-second monologue from Doctor Who (the Stonehenge Speech). Since I memorized that particular monologue over a year ago just for fun, the final was effortless.

Does PE count as a final? Not really, we're just watching a movie. That's what I've got next.

So, in my pre-final procrastination frenzy, I finished "The Son of Neptune," a book that I SHOULD have read months ago when it came out. IT WAS BRILLIANT, and completely reinforced my love of the Percy Jackson world. My copy of the book came with a map of Camp Jupiter, which I'm not going to look at until Hanukkah, since the book was SUPPOSED to be my Hanukkah present, but...yeah, that didn't happen, I read it ahead of time. :P

I'm SOOOOOO tired, I could not sleep at all last night. And I wasn't even nervous--I just couldn't sleep. It's been like this for a few nights now. I'm tired every waking minute of the day; I'm even tired in my dreams. Normally I forget my dreams, but for the past few nights I've remembered them. I've noticed that they're based off of whatever I was doing that day. That means that last night's dream was a confusing muddle of Percy Jackson (from reading Son of Neptune), Doctor Who (okay, ALL my dreams are fairly Doctor Who-centric), The Clone Wars (I was writing a Doctor Who/Clone Wars fanfic before I fell asleep), and studying for finals. Seriously, I was studying for finals IN my dream. Is that creepy, or what?

I've started yet another story. This one is about time-echo ghost. The plot is kind of complicated. I'll explain later, maybe.

I'd better go--my math teacher is passing out stickers. YAY STICKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Academic Torture

As you might have guessed by the title, NEXT WEEK IS FINALS WEEK. My brain hasn't quite gotten to the "ohmygod-finals-soon-im-going-to-die-i-need-to-study-to-death" phase yet, but it's right around the corner. Currently, I'm in the lovely "finals? What finals? I don't have finals next week. Hahaha. WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME WE HAVE FINALS NEXT WEEK???" phase of total denial. So what am I doing? The only thing there IS to do, of course.

I'm procrastinating.

On the bright side, I've started two new original stories and a fan-fiction, edited the writing submissions for my school Literary Magazine, checked my email, commented on all my favorite blogs, established myself as a true Whovian on College Confidential (a website all about--you guessed it--college. My mom is obsessed with it. I'm not so obsessed, but there are some really nice people online there, and the conversations are pretty interesting, so I check in from time to time), added several items to my Hanukkah wishlist, and updated my iPod. On the down side, I've got finals in three short days, and I've barely studied at all.

But again, looking at the positives, procrastination is a great cure for writer's block. I've written more this week then I have since I wrote that 27-page-long "short" story for extra credit in English. Of course, I've also missed the submission date for the Scholastic Young Writers Award, so maybe procrastination isn't the BEST cure after all...

Ah, well...I'd better get to studying, or at least finish up my submission for this month's Lit Mag. I probably won't have time to study until after Finals, so wish me luck!
Geronimo!

I'm Back!!!

Hello, Annabeth713 here, elated to tell you that I'm BACK!!! See, the very day that I was ungrounded (see the post below for details) I was REgrounded. Which is the reason I haven't blogged in so long, or looked at anyone else's blog. It looks like I have a lot of catching up to do!

I'll start by saying that I've recently read the Hunger Games, which I loved. You can find me on Panem October under the name "Alani-Sky Pond" from District 7. Please send me a message before friend requesting me. Thanks.

Second, I am EXTREMELY excited for the Doctor Who Christmas special!!! It looks amazing!!! Just fourteen days to go!

Third, I'm working on a new novel called "The Dark World." Details to follow.

I hope you haven't all forgotten about me! It's wonderful to be back!
