Senior Year? Bring. It. On.

Why yes, I am horrible at keeping up on writing blogs.

Why am I doing it then, do you ask?

Read the tittle of this post. Go ahead, read it. I'll still be here when you're done.



Exactly.

~~~~~~

This is blog number five that I've made over the past couple years.

This one will be better. I SWEAR!

I figured since I'm going to college next year and life will be changing, I might as well keep track of everything I do and let you guys in on my not-so-crazy-but-still-awesome life and last year of high school. :)

Let's see... what have I done so far this summer?

1) I volunteered at my churches Vacation Bible School.

I was the photographer! Ever day I took lots of pictures and videos and put them all (or most of them) into a music montage that would be played the next morning. They were each about two minutes long, set to one of the songs from VBS, and they each took about two hours to make.

I loved every minute of making them :)

And before you ask, yes they had to be perfect. I have to strive to make everyone of the videos I create perfect or I can't watch it without saying, "I could have done better."

If you want to see one of these styles of videos I made, you can check THIS one out. It's a summary of our past five trips to Disneyland!

...I'm a little addicted to Disneyland.


2) I wrote a book.

Yes. You read that right. A whole book.

Well, ok I haven't actually finished because it's really long... But I only have a few chapters to go! I wrote this book as a part of Camp NaNoWriMo. Those letters that are all smashed together stand for National Novel Writing Month which is actually in November, but it's so much fun that the website that organizes it decided to make an online 'camp' in July! I wrote 51,042 words in July which boils down to 89 pages.

To keep us motivated to write every day, my sister, my friends Andrea, and I made a Facebook called Cabin ACE (our initials) where everyday we would do these challenges relating to our book, i.e. Find a song that describes your book perfectly, draw the floor plan of your main character's home, and make a Facebook page on a document for your main character.

If you plan on writing a book, I highly recommend teaming up with some friends to keep you motivated.


3) I bought a Nook HD+

I know. I don't usually buy things like this. But I've always thought they were really cool and I've kind of always wanted one. I've been spending the last 24 hours trying to figure out how to add book to my library... hm. Do you know how to work this thing?

And both sets of my grandparents have more techy things than I do.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

4) I've watched season 1-5 and almost all of season 6 of Psych.

Wow. Ok. This show...!!

If you haven't see it -- Psych is a murder/mystery/detective/etc show that is SO different from any other murder murder kill kill show out there.

And the pineapple thing? Wait, let me Google this to see if I got it right... Thanks Google. So, for some reason someone decided to put a random pineapple in a few episodes. Trust me, it's hilarious when it shows up but I don't really get-- Wait, what? There's a pineapple in every episode??

...I will definitely be looking for those now.

Well, I think that's it for today... I'm going to go finish editing the second episode of Star Trek: Rogue Faction that I'm working on :)
