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!

It's been too long

Sorry it's been so long since I last posted! This time, I have a valid excuse: I've been grounded. Of course, I wasn't grounded in the usual sense: I was still allowed to hang out with my friends and all that. I was still aloud to text and talk on the phone. Because you see, my parents know me too well. They know how to torture me: They blocked blogging from my computer. I haven't been able to view any blogs for a month now. Actually, I don't know if it was a month, but it sure seemed that way...

Anyways, I'm back now! And I'm determined not be be so solemn in my posts. A while ago, I wanted my blog to take on a more mature and composed tone, but what's the point? Yes, I'm sad sometimes. A lot of the time. Why dwell on it? Why make other people feel bad for me, or just feel generally depressed after reading my blog? What's the point in that? My blog is suppose to be a place of randomness, where I can spaz and have fun and other obsessive spazzy random people can have fun, too. Because in the end, I have two sides to me: The random, fun-loving, always-laughing, spazzy side of me, and the solemn, dark, depressed side of me. When I concentrate on one side, I start to lose the other, and that's not something I want to do. I want to find the perfect harmony in between my spazzy and my dark sides. It will be hard, but I have faith in myself. I can do it.

Yes, I'll still be honest when I'm sad. I'll tell you guys. I'll let you know what's going on. But I'm not going to purposely dwell on that. I'm going to try to concentrate on my random side, too. If I didn't, I wouldn't be true to myself.

Well, that's all for now, I suppose.
Geronimo!
