Better Late Than Never!

Happy Halloween! (Said in the very last few minutes of Halloween but whatever. ^^) It's super late (for me) right now and I have school in the morning, but I don't care! :D Because, GUESS WHAT?!

I'm doing NaNoWriMo! <3 In case you don't know what that is, NaNoWriMo stands for National November Writing Month and what you try to do is write a 50,000 word novel in a MONTH. Yikes! Anyway, I've wanted to do it for years (signed up 2 years ago at that), but I've never sat down and DONE it. But I realized, I need something for ME. I need some kind of break from school and college stuff and have an experience. :) So, I'll be attempting to cross yet another thing off my bucket list! To make matter worse for myself, I'm making myself go outside my comfort zone and am writing a Sci-Fi novel based off a dream I had. XD (Yes, I am crazy.) It starts in about 10 minutes (which is why I am staying up...).

Now, to describing my week. Honestly, most of it was luke warm at best. ....Until Thursday that is. :D Why was Thursday better than luke-warm? I got to go see Beavan Collins. X) He's the guy that wrote No Impact Man, and I was so happy <3. So happy in fact, that I made an idiot of myself and couldn't say anything to him worthwhile, but it's ok! Some other college girls were standing there doing the same thing. :P At least he signed my book though <3. On the bright side, I was holding my own in conversations with my dad's peers. They were all impressed that I was doing NaNoWriMo. ^^

On Saturday, we had an AP review session that lasted from 8-2. T-T I'm sorry, but waiting up at 6 and listening to people talk about Bio and Chem is NOT how I want to spend my Saturday! Oh well, 50 bonus points for Bio, 20 for Chem :P. Then I went home and tried NOT to sleep sitting up and do some homework. I did somehow get all of it done by Sunday AND apply for 2 more colleges. (I finished Case Western, then I applied for the University of New England on a whim because they had the CUTEST seals <3 plus, easiest supplement EVER!)

The scariest thing happened today! I was in the shower, testing my water by catching it in my hands then letting it go, just waiting for it to get hot. Suddenly, the water turns completely black. I FREAKED OUT. Even after I dropped the water and closed the faucet, my hands were black and I ran out of the shower. My parents said it was probably just sediment, but SERIOUSLY? On Halloween of all days and after watching a bunch of scary movies the night before?! D:

Argh, oh well. I also kinda screwed up a Gov test that I had forgotten about until the period before it AND my teacher STILL hasn't submitted her rec letter and I dunno if they have to have it turned in by the early action deadline too. :/ Too bad! Well, I gotta go prepare for NaNoWriMo! :)

Bye Byes!
