A Case of the Nasties

Eeeeeeeuuuuuuurrrrggghhhh.

Anyone know what that sound means? It means, "I have a nasty cold that won't go away." You know that vacation I was talking about in my last entry? Well, turns out that pretty much everyone who went to that conference came home with a cold. It was definitely worth it, but...well... Eeeeeeeeuuuuuuurrrrrgghhhh. I'm hungry but I can't eat, I constantly feel tired, I have a nagging cough, my head is pounding... Blegh.

I actually got bombarded with a lot of stuff when I got home from my totally relaxed week away. My mom had ordered my end of year test, so I had to take that. (I now never have to take one again. Yay to being able to graduate at sixteen.) And I also have my end of year piano recital coming up this Sunday, so I've had to practice extra hard for that. Craziness, I tell you! Craziness!

Things have pretty much died down now, thank God. But now the summer heat seems to be setting in. I friggin' hate extreme heat, and it looks like we're going to have another sweltering summer like last year. My dad is actually predicting that it's going to be worse than last year. -sigh-

Vacational Fun

So for the last few days, guess where I've been? At an awesomely cool hotel/water park in New Hampshire at an unschooling conference. The water park has this cool wave pool, and tube slides that are completely dark and so much fun, and a huge hot tub... So cool. And the room's beds are ridiculously comfortable. And the weather has been unbelievably nice for four out of the five days. And am I making anyone jealous yet?

The only drawbacks are really that I desperately need to update my fanfictions and that's really not happening. My poor readers are going to have to go almost (more than?) a month with no chapter from yours amazingly. How sad. Also the fact that I have a piano recital coming up that I need to practice, practice, practice and have my piece completely memorized for, and I'm going an entire week without so much as touching a key. But I think I'll probably still manage it, and it's almost certainly worth it.

We leave tomorrow morning, but I have to say that this has been an awesome vacation. -does happy dance-
