Ugh I still suck at updating. I'll probably continue to suck at it until something interesting starts going on in my life (which... probably won't be for awhile).
I'm STILL sick, which is driving me crazy. I started getting a sore throat on Memorial Day and it lasted a week but then finally this past Monday it felt fine and I didn't feel like coughing every 5 seconds like I had over the weekend. So I was like "Good, I'm finally over being sick!" And then I got back from hanging out with friends on Monday and I realized suddenly that I felt kind of woozy and headache-y and then I started sneezing, and by Tuesday I had a full-on cold. ugh. I'm still a little stuffy now, but it's loads better. Stupid being sick during summer.
I guess now that I'm not sick anymore, I should look for something to do over the summer. It just feels so stressful, and when I get incredibly stressed out about something, I basically just try to block it from my mind and distract myself online. It's not really the best technique, especially during school because then it takes forever to get anything done, but I guess it's worked for me so far. My mom is totally not helping, though, because I was talking to her about how I was going to start looking soon but I just needed to stop stressing and realize it's not the end of the world if I don't figure out something to do this summer, and she was like "But it would be the end of the world. You can't just spend all summer sitting around the house." I was like MISSING THE POINT. I looked around for stuff yesterday kind of. There are some tutoring volunteer things, but I'm going to try first for any sort of volunteer thing that involves mental health so it'll be something I can actually put on a resume for psych internships/grad school. They all want personal references, though, and it's so difficult being here rather than at school. I would just ask professors, but most of my professors are on vacation or don't check their school e-mails over the summer, and, I don't know, I just feel kind of weird asking over e-mail? I feel like that's something I should ask in person, for some reason? But I'm weird. And at this point, it's weird to ask old high school teachers. My professors probably know, remember, and like me better anyway. blah. I'll figure something out, I guess.
Anyways, now that May is over, I watched 158 TV episodes, 3 movies, and 0 books. I seriously need to start reading more! I mean, I read a couple of chapters of a book, but still haven't finished anything. Maybe this month. And at least I watched a few more movies. It'll probably be even more this month.
