Today was the first day of finals, so I got out early, which was the only plus side of the day. Today was easy finals, and tomorow comes the hard ones. Let me express my utmost enthusiams for that -deadpan- Today was Math, which I thought would be so much more difficult, but luckily I have the greatest teacher EVER! Then art which I only had to finish the construction on my beautiful art project, if I do say so myself. Yearbook was Yearbook which consisted of begging the Librarian for my interview. Then Econ. Half way through my econ final, I get a letter from Decathlon, saying there is mandatory meeting after school today, wednesday, and friday. Friday, our day off. I read that, and I can feel my dreams of sleeping late, and lounging in my pajamas fade away, and then Saturday, Competition which means being at school at 6:30 in the morning. Gah. The good news? I get to compete! Two girls from the team have to go to National Debate competition, and while I love those girls, I'm still happy to be able to compete.
For those of you who don't know, Academic Decathlon is an academic competition, that involves studying like mad on one subject, The Great Depression, this year, and then taking a test on every aspect of it.
-Language and Lit
-Art
-History
-Economics
-Math
-Music -and-
-Superquiz.
Sound like fun? Well if it does, you must be just as crazy as me. This of course does not end till 6 at night, and then we have to stick around for award. Needless to say, it's a long day.
So, anyway, there I was in Economics. Taking my test. I'm on number 24, when I'm interupted. I can't help but read the letter right away, but then am so distracted by my lack of freedom this Friday, and Saturday, I can no longer concentrate on my test. Damn you Decathlon.
When I got home, I was going to take the bus, but there were to many people by the bus stops. (One day, I'll give you my rant on the CTA) So after walking home, instead of studying for my tests today, or doing my much neglected AP homework. No of course not. I read a book. Why? Because it is the greatest source of procrastination there is. "just let me finish this page" turns into "just let me finish this chapter" which then further progresses to "Just let me finish this book"
SO I did not study for any of my finals, nor did I do my neglected study guides, or homework, and instead, I read. (ha, ha that rhymes).
Well now that I have succesfully started my blog opposed to doing some of my homework, or maybe finally organizin my econ binder, I might start on that homework thing. Needless to say, It's going to be a long night. Well, at least I have Nora Roberts with me. Thank god for books on tape.
Well thats it for now. I've got to learn spanish before my spanish 4 final, analyze 2 poems for AP lit, and try to figure out whats going on in physics.
Wish me luck
Love,
Sonya
