Random Update of Life

Honestly, I don't even know why I still keep this blog... I'm almost positive no one reads it and I hardly ever write anymore. Anyways, here's what's been going on in my life.

For the past couple weeks, I've been swamped in homework. Yep, who would've ever thought that taking an easy semester would result in so much work? I sure didn't. Yoga and guitar are my favorite classes right now because I don't have any more homework, well, other than pracicing, but I enjoy playing and relaxing, so it's no biggie. After spring break it seems all of my teachers realized the semester was coming to a close and we have to finish the rest of the material. Let's just say this = a stressful life for me.

Also, I've been trying to read the articles my teacher gave me for our independent research lab thing. All 8 of them are really cool topics, but most of them are 20-30 pages and with finals creeping up, I'm trying to find a good balance between reading them and my textbooks/notes. So far, it's not working so well and I'm psyching myself out more than I ought to.

Grades don't even matter to me anymore (at least not right now). I proved I can get my 4.0 and now I just want to get through the psych program while learning as much as I need to know for grad school. Taking the GRE will be a fun experience next fall, eh? I'll enjoy spending my summer studying for that, looking for places to apply, and trying to figure out where I want to go from here. If you didn't sense the sarcasm there, you really don't know me.

Enough about school, that's all I ever seem to talk about anymore. What about you? Are you reading this blog, did you get this far, what's happening in your life? I'd love to know what's going on... I seem to have broken away from most socialization other than a few close friends, and only talking with a few people, as much as you love them, gets tedious. Don't get me wrong, I love my friends and everything, it's just I sometimes feel as though I could be more social and really want to make new friends, which I'm not very good at doing.

So, I actually read a few books recently. I know, I'm shocked as well. I haven't read for fun since last summer and I forgot how much I love it! Two series (both recommended by my 14 year old sister): The Hunger Games, & the Percy Jackson and the Olympian Series. I must say that The Hunger Games books were amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed reading them and was disappointed when the series ended, though I thought the author ended them amazingly! The problems that they faced in the books were far worse than what I've ever faced and it was nice to realize how much I have to be grateful for in life. The Percy Jackson series wasn't quite as good, but it was still well worth my time. It got me through some stressful times and was fun to read.

Topic jump again? I think yes. So, in my family's backyard, we have this pond in our garden. The other day, I walked outside and heard some croaking... like a frog. And guess what?! We have frogs in our pond! There are lots of tiny tadpoles too. Problem with this? We might also have frogs in our pool... I just hope they don't reproduce too fast. I love frogs, but not hundreds of them. But I thought it was pretty cool anyways.

So, I believe that will be it for tonight. If you can think of anything I forgot to mention, just comment it... or call me, or text me, or not..... yeah. That's all.

Until next time.
