is there time to breathe?

Here's the thing. School is over the top and ridiculously hard. There's always something else to do, and I can never get just one break away from everything. It's only been a few days, but it feels like a few months. I hope this isn't the way that the rest of the year is going to go. There is sooo much to do and I'm, unfortunately, neglecting a lot of other things I love. I've just recently started reading my Bible in 90 days, and I've already missed 3 days. There just aren't enough hours in the day. I also love walking. I love to take walks. It's so peaceful to me. It's hard to find time to get out there, and partially because it's still pretty hot out. I love to write songs, and play my guitar. I spend so much time reading and doing homework, I can't find enough time.All I want to do is sit down for a long, long time, and do nothing. And I could eat cookie dough, and skype with my best friend Delaney, and look at TOM shoes that I want to buy, and imagine my life in a land that is half the temperature of my current residence. Yes. That would be nice.

Time to get some more work done...

rant about school supplies

First day of school, and I'm ready to die. There's so much to do! Get your textbooks, figure out your classes, organize your schedule, organize a binder so all your stuff isn't all over the place, get notebooks, pens, pencils, markers, higlighters, glitter (lOtS oF gLiTtEr), pencil sharpener, pencil case, protractor, ruler, compass, calculator, calculator case (for all you weirdos who can't survive without your calculator being in tip-top shape) tape, white-out (for those embarrassingly stupid answers), note cards, flash drive, sticky notes, day planner and anything else you can think of. There's a lot to go into having a a good education, and there is so little appreciation for all those big name companies who provide us with the material. Like Crayola, Mead (if you've never heard of it, they make note-books), Sharpie, BiC, Dixon, and many more.
But I just have one thing to say to them. You work too hard.
I mean seriously!? How many different type of pencils and pens have you run into? There's dozens! And then there is every color of pen imaginable. (not gonna lie, I actually do like that part) There's white board, cork boards, black boards. Pencil cases, Pencil holders, pencil sharpeners. AND ERASERS! I've never seen anything that's more oversold. There's every type of eraser IMAGINABLE! Newsflash: Nobody uses pencils anymore except for a math course and for pencil sketching in the art field.

On a side note, I'll be selling some of my clothes here in a day or so. I need money. So I'll just go naked for the next few months.

three steps to tomorrow

Life is insane!
Tomorrow I have my first day of school. Though I'm not looking forward to all the work, I'm super excited for the new year. Everything moves so slow when there's nothing to do. I'm working towards skipping 11th grade, which will be incredibly difficult and challenging, but I'm excited to start looking at colleges and considering my future. Every chapter is another step forward, and this one seems like it will be about two or three, but I am very excited. :)

Ready to start and move forward,
