Helloooo.

It's currently 9:02 AM and I'm wearing my pajamas, which are raglan sweatpants and a soft shirt that has a ton of constellations and their names printed on it. All I've done today is solve some linear equations, eat a bowl of cereal, and use my computer.

I AM SOOO PRODUCTIVE.

(Sarcasm.)

Bask in awe at this glorious photo of my succulents. Mom got them at Whole Foods several weeks ago, and they're actually not shriveled up by this point, which is encouraging. I have the theory that they were on sale because people don't want to buy them during the winter. I've been misting them with water once every week.

I can't believe it's been 11 months since I last posted on here! A lot of things have happened since then. My family took a trip to Barcelona and we got norovirus from going on a cruise, so I had to spend the second and third days of school vomiting and absent. Fun.

Here'r a few photos from the summer:

Ahh, the flower market. I bought a satchel of dried lavender.

A colorful water display in Spain.

A sulky-looking gull.

The Coliseum! I bought a shirt there.

Ciao.

Like the new layout? It's kind of nice and Springey, I think. ^.^

Speaking of Spring, it feels like we're far from it. For the past week or two, we've been getting heaps and heaps of snow. On one day I woke up and the roads were completely blanketed in it, but the school superintendent decided to be a lunkhead (I'm not sure if that's a term or not, but it seems fitting) and not delay OR cancel school. So I had to trudge through the dense sheet of powder, slipping and sliding on ice, to get to the bus stop. >:U

Once we got to school, all of the kids were outraged that school hadn't been canceled. We wrote very vicious acrostics for 'SNOW DAY' in English that certainly *cough* expressed our anger. Here's a typical example of one of the acrostics:

S- Superintendant is missing 90% of their brain

N- Now we're stuck at school

O- Only an insane creep would make us leave home in this weather

W- We don't want to be at school!

D- Dopes like the superintendent deserve a punch

A- Almost everyone here is angry

Y- You'd have to be a lunatic to like school after this

Really eloquent, huh? X3

After school, I went sledding on a gigantic slope that about 30-35 other kids were skidding down on their neon-colored plastic disk sleds. Here's roughly what it looked like:

The plum-colored slope represents the big hill that the majority of the kids were sliding down, and the thing that looks like a stick with rungs between that and the pink hill (aka the smaller slope) is the stairs.

The year prior, I'd been run over by two separate sleds at the same time on the plum-colored hill, so I mostly stuck to the smaller hill. But at the end, I went down the plum-colored hill by accident when I was trying to push my brother off of the precipice so that he would go down. I ended up clinging to the back of the disk sled and whooping my head off. XP

A few days later, the top coat of powder that we'd gone sledding on melted away. All of the water that was left froze up into a sheet of ice overnight, so our school got delayed. c:<
