I have a new layout designed but yet to code. Really, it’s one of my best layout designs, but I just hate coding… It’s time consuming, tedious, a puzzle that mocks you by making ugly actions when you forget a slash or number.

My family and I went to a strawberry farm this past weekend. And yes, I did take that picture. Behold my amazing photographic skills of a batch of strawberries! It’s just yet another reminder of how quickly summer is coming, and how badly I want to be out of school. This will be one of the very few years where I’ll actually enjoy a summer break. Being homeschooled, we took advantage of the 1year schooling - it was easier for us since we’ve been plagued with medical problems, moving, and my general procrastination. But because I will be attending an actual school-school in the fall (yay college!), I doubled up on all my work to finish quite early. This is the worst cast of senioritis and spring fever ever. Really, it is. All I have left to do is just one unit in each of my three subjects, and I’m done my twelve years of education!

I’m a little less anxious about the upcoming SAT. In comparison to how I previously scored in my practice tests, I’ve improved by over 130 points. My scores are still pretty low, but I’m happy with the improvement. Grace requires only the scores between critical reading and math, and so far, I’m 20 points below the minimum scholarship. At least I know what to improve on and look at before Saturday.

As soon as this weekend is over, I’ll be able to have stress-free weeks/weekends and courses. With the past two competitions, the SAT and a few other other nonessentials coming together within a span of three weeks, my internal system has gone haywire. My parents have suggested me to relax in order for me to get better health-wise, but… I don’t really know how to relax. I’ve always been like a rabbit in that I’m jumping from one thing to another to another. For me to just sit down, breathe and give myself a break… It’s like asking a computer nerd to quote all of ‘Fergalicious’–it just doesn’t happen!

I’m a hoping a few friends and I can get together again and dual it out with our plastic Star Wars light sabers. Nothing says friendship like a pretend light saber battle in a deserted church gym.

Josh Groban was on American Idol last night. He sang ‘You Raise Me Up,’ and he had an African choir back him up. Mm, mm, mm. I could die happy now.

I was able to get a new battery for my iPod, Malachi, last weekend, and I’m beyond ecstatic. It’s been nice to have Malachi resurrected especially since I had a long van ride with a bunch of kids last weekend. I’m hoping to download some new music pretty soon to get me psyched for the SAT next weekend.

Yes, I just said psyched.

While I’m not to thrilled over taking a timed test that has control over which scholarships I’m eligible for, if I go in with a better attitude, I’ll probably do a lot better.

Speaking of which… It’s college time!

It’s also time for Rachel to pull out whatever remaining hair she’s trying to grow back because of the over anxiousness college picking/scholarship filling/SAT testing creates.

Huzzah!
