Update: August (it's a big one)
Yes, it has been a while, but so much has happened in the past month.
Last month, my family and I took a weekend to redo my room. this included putting new paint on the walls and ceilings and buying some new things. We painted the room for hours. The longest part of the experience was waiting for paint to dry and yes, the expression "waiting for paint to dry" is accurate. We were painting those walls well past midnight. As it was, I ended up having to sleep on the couch. That was frustrating at times throughout the night when I was often woken up by cats (we have three). I did manage to make it through the night.
I finished up the summer semester and only had two short weeks of break before I had to go back at it again for the fall semester (which started this Monday). This is going to be a (possibly) insane semester, and while I'm only a week into it, I don't feel the usual amount of stress that usually comes with the beginning of a semester. If anything, I've got a surprisingly good feeling about this semester. My online classes are going to be the hardest since they have the most work involved in completing them. The only classes I have to go to campus for are physics and Spanish. Both of which seem like they'll be easier courses.
In any event, I only have one more year of high school left and then I can finally start taking classes that I'm interested in.
Another exciting thing is that I've finally managed to start working through my writer's block. After evaluating some of the characters in the story, I realized there were a few changes that could be made. Once I realized this and started working on those changes, I found it much easier to continue writing new material for the novel. Even though I'm only writing little bits at a time, anything being written is better than being at a complete standstill. I'm grateful for the progress, no matter how slow it may be.
Even though I still have the spirit of a procrastinator, I feel like life is going to be a little less hectic this semester. Somehow, things seem organized. Perhaps there's just things I'm forgetting to do. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that this is my last year of high school. I don't know. Either way, I'm enjoying this quiet chaos for now. Things may change once the semester gets into full swing. We'll just have to see.
Until next time, my dudes, peace and good times.
