I was talking to my parents the other night and my mom was talking about some relative and she was like "She's actually from Shreveport, in Louisiana" and I nearly was like "OMG SHREVEPORT THAT'S WHERE FANGTASIA IS." But luckily before I opened my mouth I was like "...uh, wait. There is a difference between fiction and reality." I got super excited there for a second, though. And I couldn't even express my excitement to my mom because she doesn't watch True Blood. I need more fandom-y people in my real life!

Anyways, I am leaving tomorrow to go back to school. We're driving up again (whenever I say this, people always ask me why, and... I don't know. It's fun? I think my dad likes being able to take 2 weeks off work because he's way overworked. It's just what we do now. And I enjoy it). We are going to Kingman, AZ; the Grand Canyon (my first time! Well, I visited when I was 8 months old, but that doesn't really count); Winslow, AZ; Albuquerque, NM (we're staying there two days with my mom's uncle; it'll be the first time I've met him, other than when I was 8 months old. I'm kind of awkward around strangers, and we're staying at his house for two nights, so I'm kind of... nervous about it? I don't know. I'm sure it'll be fine); Santa Fe, NM; Colorado Springs, CO; Hays, KS; Kansas City, MO; Des Moines, IA; and then to St. Paul. We're arriving in St. Paul on September 2nd, and my parents are leaving on the 6th. Then classes start on the 9th! It's weird that I'm going back already. Well, I guess this has been a really long summer, and May does seem a really long time ago, but I still can't really believe that I'm going back already.

I'm going to do my best to keep up with my flist and update occasionally while I'm away, but the likelihood of that actually happening is minimal at best. I always say I will, and then I get to the first night and it's 11 PM and I just want to go to sleep and then there's just too much to catch up on. And I don't know what sort of internet access I'll have, either. So I'll do my best, but no promises. I don't know for sure what my internet situation will be once I've moved in, either (there is internet, but no wireless, from what I remember Li telling me), so I'll have to figure that out.

Posting to say I'm leaving tomorrow at the crack of dawn (actually, I'm pretty sure it's before the crack of dawn) to go to Minnesota and won't be back until Monday. See you all when I get back!

So, when I said that I would be answering that picture meme I was going to do this week, I forgot that this week I was going to start seriously studying for APs. Pretty much all week all I've been doing is studying for my final in AP Euro (a week before I take the AP), the actual AP exam, and SAT II's (Math IIC and French). The only time I've really spent not studying for them was last night when Soan and Emma slept over and we watched 10 Things I Hate About You (my 500th time) and Knight's Tale (1st time) and became puddles over Heath Ledger.

Anyways, tomorrow I'm going to Boston for spring break to visit colleges and won't be back until the next Sunday, and then I'll only have 2 weeks for APs and SAT II's, so basically I'm going on hiatus. I may pop in to write a brief post now and then, but I'll be pretty much entirely gone from now until May 6th. See you all when I get back!

Final semester 1 grades: AP Euro, A- (!! all the studying paid off!); HChem, A-; HPre-Calc, A-; French 4, A-; HEnglish 3, B+; Wind Ensemble, A (...I'm hoping, at least. It'd be sad to get a B in Wind Ensemble). Woohoo! I am happy. :)

I think I fail at returning to LJ, and I don't know that I'm going to today (...other than this post, of course), either. I'll probably be back this weekend, because otherwise I'll have absolutely nothing to do and go bored out of my mind.

Today is a Veronica Mars day! Yay! :D
