Me and my friends had a lot of fun. We watched The Curse of Fenric (with the 7th doctor) and then New Earth with David Tennant (10th doctor)

then after they left I slept for five and half hours.

If it was trapped inside without a food source, I highly doubt it is/was still alive. Wasps I've captured have sometimes lasted only a couple of hours before becoming immobilized or dead.

This morning I made dreamsicle fudge and s'mores fudge. \:D/ First time that I've made the s'mores...it was good. If I do say so myself. ;) It has mini-marshmallows and graham cracker chunks folded into the chocolate fudge. Yum!

I am so insanely exhausted. This week is Vacation Bible School at my church, and I'm a bus leader, team leader (sixteen kids aged 6-7 are under my supervision), and I'm a main character in the play each night. I'm awake until about 2am memorizing my lines, and up at 8am for work, and then straight to church to pick up kids on the bus. Every night is insane. HOWEVER, it is immensely rewarding. Last night I was able to lead 5 young girls in prayer for Salvation. That's the age I was saved at, so it meant a lot to me. ;)

Also, signing up for fall college classes tonight! Psyched! \:D/

Yeah, still a good look at the lifeless body would have helped us sleep that night. Now that one is in Moll's room she wants to help me kill hers. Nope! I deal with enough creepy crawlies at work!

Q. How to tell when your AP biology homework is over your head?
A. When Microsoft word doesn't understand correctly spelled words.

That is how I feel right now (and yes I am doing this at 2 in the morning). For the most part, the class isn't too bad (except for a few way too in-depth chapters) because the only way I can pretty much miss anything is on multiple choice and true and false. Even than if I give a really good explanation for my choice, she sometimes counts it right. This is the reason I have a 99% in the class which is awesome for two reasons. First, this online school counts a 97% and above an A+. Secondly, it's an AP class, so my public school will count whatever letter grade I get two points higher in GPA (so an A+ will be a 14 on a 12).

My finals are Wednesday and I only have two assignments to do in AP Biology (which I am not doing right now and writing this). I did also take an AP Macroeconomics class, which was a little bit harder because I actually had to do work. Except for the two times when the teacher gave an assignment in which all of the answers were either increase and decrease and we got two tries at it. :anxious: I do have a 97% but barely and I think my final will probably drop me back to an A but that is still a 13 on a 12, so I can't be too mad at that.

Sadly, after Wednesday I only have 17 days until school...again. Although, it makes it nice that is my senior year, which is better than your average going-back-to-school time. (Which really isn't saying a whole lot)

Okay, I should go actually finish my biology class instead of ranting and talking (well, typing) on here. :)

This weekend consisted of 72 hours of volleyball, soccer, food, music, and friends \:D/ We were at church/family camp, and today I am so tired (3 hour nights anyone?) and sore in muscles that I didn't even know I had. :P It was so much fun though, but now I'm trying to get back to normal school work and routine, which is not so much fun.

I've been packing and shopping for my trip to Scotland. It's exhilarating, but also tiring :p My plane leaves on Thursday night, and I won't be back until September. I think I've spent over forty hours on the phone with friends for this entire past week. Apparently I'm going to be missed. O_O

40 hours? I've never spent more than 10 minutes on the phone in an entire month. :P

Are you doing summer classes, too or did you already start school?

I never really stopped, I didn't do much school in February or April, and I'm trying to get ahead because I'm probably not going to get much done in October this year. I love the flexibility of being homeschooled, but sometimes it's hard to buckle down in July and August when everyone else is out. :yes:

SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS ME.

Except I was up at 6:30 because the camp I was coaching at was a bit aways, then didn't get home until four... had to be at church to practice for OUR skit, in which I also had the most lines... not really 'main', but I brought the Bible into everything. Then I led the group of 2-4 year olds, went to bed at ten, and DID IT ALL AGAIN THE NEXT DAY.

Best week so far. \:D/

Day camp at the science museum this week! Which means 20+ kids running around and going crazy almost all day. But today, just to make it more interesting, a group of 80 kids, from a school I think, has been scheduled to come in. So at times during the day, there will be 100 kids in the outside park! \:D/

I am going to be so worn out by the end of the day... :anxious:
