I have three weeks left of school, and the time is seeming to stretch on forever, an endless span of unendurable length. At the end of it, I am going to give a speech in front of my entire class, along with six other of the valedictorians at my school. It's ridiculous how many there are at my school, ten in total, including me. Only one guy, out of all of that. But honestly. The valedictorian ought to be the very top student out of the entire class. If it were like that at my school, as it ought to be, I wouldn't be one. But I'm okay with that. Just being here is an accomplishment in and of itself for me. Especially when I think on all of those days I was willing to simply give it all up and do nothing at all anymore. I'm shocked when I see where I am today. I'm nearly done. I've almost made it. It's unreal.
On another note, I'm rereading the Wheel of Time series. I'm impatient to get through all twelve books, and I cannot wait until the thirteenth comes out in November or later. It's too long to wait. I wish I could read faster, but I usually read this series during the summer rather than the school year, so it is taking twice as long to get through every book. In fact, I'm only on the second one right now. It took two weeks to read the first one, though, admittedly, it is about eight or nine hundred pages long. Nevertheless, I have read it in about five days before. I wish I could this time. Still, I have to remember that I'm going to make myself reread the entire series again when the last book finally comes out. I could roll my eyes at this moment at how ridiculous it seems for me to insist on rereading the series every time a new book comes out. As it is, I've read the series about three times before. This would be my fourth. And it is a very good series, so it truly isn't a hardship, except for the fact that I seem to read no other books for the two months it takes to read the twelve, soon to be thirteen, books. Oh well. Lol. That is life, and what I make of it, no less.
I'm rather excited for the end of June, too. A week after my eighteenth birthday, my sister and I are going to go Oregon to spend a week at the beach. It should be absolutely wonderful. From the twenty-fourth to the first of July, spent doing nothing but watching the sunsets and sunrises, and feeding on the anonymity of being somewhere new, somewhere that no one knows you. *sighs* It sounds perfect - I simply cannot wait.
So my new laptop. I just have to tell you, it's so tiny. Lol. It's the size of a spiral notebook, but about one inch shorter as far as how wide the keyboard goes. The keys are smaller, and closer together, but I don't seem to have any trouble typing on them, so all's well that ends well. It helps that I have such small hands, I imagine. And with it, I can use my camera again. I'm so thrilled about that, you cannot even fathom. Lol.
So, I'm going to upload the pictures I took of the tree outside my house. I've tried to get it on any number of different days, displaying the seasons. It's pretty cool, I think.
The first two are towards the end of March, on the 25 and 26. The first one was a nice day, the next day, not so much. Though, of course, both have snow on the ground.
This next is just over a week into April. I'll tell you what, the snow did not seem to want to leave.
And this last one was taken a couple of days into May. Finally green, and rainy to boot. Will we never get sun here? . . . I doubt it. Lol.
Anyway, that's all I have for tonight. I rather enjoyed looking at the pictures of my wonderful tree. . . well, my neighbor's tree, in any case. Lol. I should go, though. Much to do to get ready for bed, unfortunately, though I feel as if I might shatter instead.
