New Blog!

It took three hours and almost some tears, but I've done it! You'll now find me at www.howtohackhighschool2.wordpress.com. Make sure you add the 2, because otherwise you'll go to nothing. Possibly a site I ended up deleting because I messed it up. ANYWAYS, just go to that website from now on, and everything will be dandy! Thanks folks, and sorry for the rough transition.

I Am Literally the Worst

I am so, so, so, so sorry I haven't posted in so long. I've been so busy, which I'll tell you about in a minute. However, I think I've figured out a way to change that. I've set a weekly reminder on my phone that'll well, remind me to think about if I have anything to post about or not. If I do, I'll post- if I don't, I won't; it's as simple as that. Additionally, I'm considering taking this blog and running it via WordPress. Honestly the only reason is the fact that WordPress has an app, and for some reason Blogger doesn't anymore. I love using Blogger, but being able to blog from my phone would be much more convenient. I'm not positive that that's what I'll do yet, but I'll let you know when I've made my decision.

I've been babysitting about 40 hours a week- a little more than I'm in school. I babysit every weekday, and will continue to until school starts August 25. It's been really fun, I absolutely adore the kids, but it does take away a lot of free time. It's worth it though, because the money I'm saving up is going towards my school's fine arts department's trip to ORLANDO! Disneyworld, Universal Orlando (only Harry Potter world, which is obviously going to be my favorite.), it's going to be a blast. On top of babysitting, I am also taking weekly lessons with my band director over the summer, to start prepping for All State auditions. I also have softball two night a week, for an hour each night, but on Tuesdays and Thursdays, sometimes I'm out there for more than an hour, as in sometimes three hours a night, watching games for my brother, my nephew, and 2/3 of the kids I babysit. Again, I love it, but that also takes up a fair amount of free time. However, softball season ends this weekend actually, so that shouldn't be an issue. Band camp starts August 8 (I'M SO EXCITED BECAUSE I'M GOING TO BE ON PICCOLO) which will take up most of my time too, but there will be a couple weeks I only have to babysit until band camp starts. I signed up to take AP English Language and Composition, and I got some summer homework, so I've been quite busy working on that too. I have to read A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway, as well as The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, and then answer some questions about the characters, a plot synopsis, the theme, etc. I'm almost done with TSL though, so I'm looking forward to that. I finished AFA a while ago, and I honestly did not like it.

Anyways, the main point of this post is to explain why I've been such garbage at posting, and what I plan to do to fix it. I'm going to go look into WordPress now, so I'll let you know how that goes. Thanks for not giving up on me!
