Today.
Was.
Boring.
Hee hee.
See, I needed to know (for planning purposes) how long it took me to read a chapter in my history textbook since I'll be having to get through approximately one chapter a week in the fall.
Six hours, sixteen minutes.
Ten pages of notes.
AHHHHHHHH
Mostly it was boring, but I did decide that if I lived in Colonial America, I would like to live in Pennsylvania. It has such a charming name. It was woodlands (Penn's Woods to be exact--sylvania sounds so cool to describe trees with) and I think I could have gotten along with the Quakers pretty well unless my history book gave a poor description of them. And Philadelphia sounded pretty cool! I dunno how it is now.
Anyway, I've been watching the Olympics a bit, but not a lot. Mostly at night.
We finally got the TV working. Well, not exactly. We took the TV down from the playroom and put it in the cabinet for now. It looks so dwarfy!
Funny thing is, the bass sound is better on this smaller (which isn't actually that small) screen. The very large 3D TV (which hasn't been turning on for like a month and we keep not hearing back from the repair people), has very tinny sound. XD
So I've been able to play DDR again. I impressed myself by being able to read a huge stream of eighth notes, but then later on I couldn't do something similar. It seems that there's a peak to my playing each day and after that it just kind of goes downhill. Maybe my brain gets too stimulated and stops processing as well. I don't know.
Tomorrow, I plan to read The Phantom Tollbooth. I think I can probably read the whole thing. In any case, it will be more interesting than my textbook!
The next day, in August, I will start a sort of NaNoWriMo. I don't know what my life will be like in November with all them classes (but I'm sure I'll try anyway). I haven't written nearly as much fiction this summer as I intended to, and I need something structured to build my routine around for the fall.
Edit: I had my 300th post recently, but this is apparently my 200th just this year. Look at me, finally a dedicated blogger. Maybe I should be making more posts of general interest. Kinda like articles... in addition to my ramblings about my life that nobody cares about except my friendlings.
I like knee socks. This blog has nothing to do with knee socks, except when it does. This was mangapasta from 2009-2013. It's been archived now... sorta?
AHHH. August Nanowrimo! That's not a bad idea…
ReplyDeleteMAYBE I'LL DO IT WITH YOU! 8D Maybe.
The thought is rather terrifying. :F
DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT
ReplyDeleteI am proud of you Claire. You are so dedicated at Blogging you can now tell people that that's your job :)
ReplyDeleteAs for Nano? I need something to do. I need a good idea. For a book. I should do it, since I need to strengthen my writing skills. It'd be good practice for before college classes start, too!
YES YOU SHOULD DO IT TOO 8D
