I'm not going to apologize for not posting. I'm not going to apologize for not posting. I'm not going to apologize for not posting.
It's not like anyone reads this, anyway, so it doesn't really matter. Which is why I'm not going to apologize.
I've neglected my blog terribly - in truth, I quite forgot I had it - but life has gone on regardless. Things have changed since February, as they have a tendency to do. Chances are, I'm a slightly different person than I was then. But, of course, you (whoever you are) don't know about any of those things, because you haven't heard from me in months. So, let me sum up.
I took the AP Biology final. I took the AP Biology test. I did very well on the final. I may have failed the test. The stress that built up before this test was suddenly relieved when it was over, like a valve being opened, and now life is calm again.
I went on Search. That was a big deal. One weekend - just two nights - but it changed my life. I can't say anything about it here, of course, in case little eyes are prying - let me just say that it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.
I took the SAT. Also a major event. I do not think that I failed it. That is good.
I went to State. I acquitted myself well in Expos (although not well enough to reach the finals round), if not so well in Oratory. Overall, the results were more or less what I expected, and at least I enjoyed myself. I'm ready to return with a vengence next year.
I finished the debate season. Tournament time is over, and now we simply must sit in class and wait for the end of the year, doing pointless assignments in an attempt to scrape out something that could be called learning.
I went to the JCL convention. Despite my lack of preparation, I came out with multiple awards - probably more than I deserved - most notably first in mythology. That's definitely an achievement.
I've failed to get a job. Still working on that one. I've applied everywhere that's come up, but nothing's come of it yet. We'll see.
Those are the highlights of the last few months for me. I've grown and changed, and I'm getting ready to head into Senior year. Time's flown, but I think I'm keeping up with it. I'm going to have a go at keeping this blog up, so we'll see what happens with that. See you soon!
