Is it just me, or is this weather downright depressing? It finally stopped raining a few days ago and started again today! We didn't anticipate summer for 9 months for it to be rainy! Joe Snedeker on Newswatch 16 is now dubbing it "the year without a summer." I have no choice but to agree.
As for my summer plans, I don't have much going on. I don't really go on vacation because it costs a lot of money and there aren't any money trees growing in my backyard. I'm only looking forward to two things, one of which is in July...the SpongeBob SpongeBash Celebration! (Did I get that name wrong? Sorry if I did!) It sounds like there will be a lot of good episodes, and I hope they're all better than the last batch of new eppies we got. For a 10th anniversary celebration, this should be one of the best batches of episodes yet!
The other thing I have planned is taking place at the end of the summer, when I turn 18! I'm really looking forward to becoming a legal adult for obvious reasons, but the main thing I'm excited about is getting a tattoo! Since I can sign for it myself, I'm allowed to get one as a birthday present. I don't know what I'm going to get yet, but I've heard it doesn't hurt much, so hopefully it won't be too bad.
In my previous blog, a couple of people asked me why I had to tell my best friend we can't be friends anymore, and I never got around to clarifying that. Well, we WERE best friends, but sometime this year she got acquainted to a new crowd of friends (mainly my COLOR GUARD CAPTAIN!) and suddenly I was only good enough when they weren't around. We have 8 periods a day in school, and we had periods 3-7 together. Yet one day in a math course, she said "We should try to hang out more, we don't see each other much in school." My reply was "Uh...We have over half our subjects together!" It was then that I figured our friendship wasn't worth it. I never got around to officially ending our friendship but I won't bother with her anymore. That's at least the fifth person I've stopped being freinds with since sophomore year!
Are there any high school seniors out there? I was wondering if anyone else on this site has taken those awful SAT's! They were really hard, and of course I chose to skip over the questions I didn't know....so I skipped around half of every math section. I really hope I got at least a 1500, because I'm not retaking them!
This site has become a lot less active lately...the total opposite of how it was expected to be since summer. It may just be the forums I visit, but there's only cynical things to say about television anymore and it feels like I'm wasting my time here. I'm not planning on leaving anytime soon, but I wish that the world of television would improve already! If this weird cycle of shows continues televisions may as well become a piece of the past!
So overall, summer has been Ok, I guess. During the day I sometimes go running around with family, but the late afternoon is pretty boring. I just read, watch TV and use the computer, of course. I hope everyone else is enjoying their summer! How has vacation been for everyone else? Let's hope the weather lets up!
