Oops: a Summer in Review

As you've noticed, I took a- ahem- brief hiatus from the blogosphere after my post about poetry camp. This was due to the fact that I am a lazypants and, despite spending obscene amounts of time on the Internet, didn't ever click the New Post button. I'm sorry, I really am. But anyway, here's a list of things that happened.

  • French exchange! I hosted my French teacher's niece for two weeks. She's so lovely. It was a great experience, and I hope she'll come back soon.
  • Pink hair, don't care: I dyed my hair pink. And then purple. And then (due to a silly school rule that requires me to have a normal-colored head) back to blonde. Currently I look like a Marilyn Monroe wannabe. But I like it, I think.
  • Work: Yesterday was my last day of work. I spent nearly all of my summer doing maintenance-type stuff for Hogwarts. It was dusty. Glitter Unicorn and I actually spent all of my last day assembling new tables and chairs for the cafeteria. Seven hours of drilling drove us both a little stir crazy. If anybody complains about those tables, I'll probably cut them 
School starts tomorrow. I am less than thrilled. No part of me is ready. It'll be great to see my classmates, but I'm so worried about this year. It has to be better than last year. I need it to be.

Wish me luck.
