of laziness and recommendations

mood: bleh

the first blog entry of august! isn't this special...

sooo, summer has been pretty sweet - dance camp kept me busy through june and the alaska trip kept me busy through most of july.

but now it's august.

and i have nothing to do.

actually, it's not that i have nothing to do; it's more like i do nothing. i've been really lazy.

so lately i've been pushing myself to do something. i've started volunteering, writing, researching, reading, studying economics, and attempting to learn hindi. i actually had a busy-ish week. i just hope i keep it up and i hope that i don't fall back into the laziness-cycle again.

meh. i really disagree with the idea of an almost-three-month break from school. it's just way too long. us teenagers shouldn't be let out to roam free for such a long period of time.

"how did you spend your summer?" you eagerly ask.

"gee, thanks for askin. i'll tell you how."

june: dance camp. i came home sore every day. yyyyup.

july: i went to alaska. we basically packed as much stuff into those two weeks as was possible. we went flightseeing, dog-sledding, white river rafting, cruising, whale-watching, and a whole bunch of stuff. we travelled all over the state and we really had a lot of fun. lot of "family bonding" went on. woot.

august: i just started volunteering at the hospital. i basically carry papers and samples of blood (or heaven knows what else) around the hospital. when i'm not doing that, i'm kinda bored out of my mind. good news: i made some friends. yay.

oh, and breaking dawn came out. twerdd and i went to the release. we met even more twerds - some that were even more crazier than our own twerdd.

also, i read a bunch of books. some were great and some weren't.
