busy!

we are nearing our 100th post, but at the rate Jacqueline and I are going, we'll probably never get there. It's like we're secretly playing that game where you pick out 1-3 marbles from a pile of... a lot and you try not to pick the last marble. Let's see who gets that cursed 100th.

Let's see... second semester is horrendous. I've actually never felt so stressed and anxious in my life. Even my junior year was a lot (a LOT) more relaxing than this. Not only are my goddamn AP classes trying to drill me to a desk, chain me to a wall, and rape me to death, but these college decisions are leaving me in a state of clueless surreality. What, where, how? College? That shit was always foreign to me. I thought I'd spend my second semester living in the present and living for the future, but I have spent more time thinking about the past- the things I could have done differently and the things I'm glad I did. I mean, it's too late now, but maybe I'm just trying to reminisce.

Enough of that. I've added another two TV shows to my healthy collection. I have to admit, though, that Kings was a slight disappointment. I started it to fulfill my secret fantasies of watching a show based on tyrannical monarchies and elite nobility, but I guess that stuff is best in Elizabethan England (or even before! King Henry VIII and his six wives? fascinating!). It was way too modern and unrealistic for me, but the acting is pretty impressive and it doesn't hurt that the main character looks like a younger, fresher Matt Damon with a splash of James Dean's sultriness. Castle is also interesting, and I rarely say that about ABC shows (adult Disney channel). I was so excited to see Captain Mal Reynolds back on the small screen, this time playing a flirty but sharp writer. I'd tel you I started watching it because of my sister, but I'm pretty sure my subconscious was won over at the word "castle." And I do not have a fetish for anything royal.

I made myself a schedule for this week, but I am already killing it. I should actually be doing gov homework right now. SSS, forreal.

I also recently discovered Nature Valley granola bars. I always pushed it away after some bad experience with energy bars in general, but my eyes have been opened.

Trust nobody.
