Seeing as how I've just deserted you all. I'm sorry, but I'm in the midst of hell with finals and AP testing. Today and yesterday I took my economics final, and I think I did ok, but I could just be nuts. It seemed like things went well though....which brings me to my next point. Tomorrow I'm taking the AP Microeconomics and the AP Macroeconomics tests, so I'll be testing all day. 7:30a.m.-4:00p.m. I'm very nervous, because if I can score a 4 or a 5 on these (on a scale of 1-5) I'll be able to test out of my economics courses for my first year at Villanova- AWESOME. But if I can't....:S SO I'M NERVOUS GUYS
LIKE REALLY REALLY NERVOUS
It'll be fine once I get past it though. I suppress bad memories....like these tests xD That way I don't worry unduly.

NOW. Prom at the Shedd Aquarium in downtown Chicago: AMAZING. My date was absolutely stunning (you guys can creep on all our photos on Facebook if you're friends with me)- her dress looked like Belle, complete with gloves and beautifully curled hair. My other friends all looked great too- it seems like the first dance where people dressed in what looked good on them Me and my date didn't like the traditional grindfest in the center of the dancefloor, so we invented/recreated/mish-moshed together a Renaissance type dance involved much spinning, turning, stepping, and the assorted dance moves. Also: I can't dance. xD Like.... I just can't. I need to learn some moves bahahaha D:

The day after prom, we all took the train to downtown Chicago and went to Millennium Park and then to the Museum of Science and Industry where we saw their Mythbusters exhibit It was exciting.

Anyway right after that, we had Monday. *dies* This Monday was kind of the start of hell week for me: I finished my Drawing final project on Tuesday, turned in my Creative Writing Final Project on Tuesday, and started my economics finals (previously mentioned) on Tuesday. Lord. I'm. Tired. Fortunately by this point, I've trained my body to work on only 4 hours of sleep a night. This way I get everything done and keep it all together. Its dreadfully unhealthy though: I have stomachaches and frequent headaches along with bouts of listlessness and inattention. I go to sleep between 1:30a.m.-2:00a.m. and get up between 5:30a.m.-5:45a.m. This has been going on everyday including weekends for the past 3 and half weeks or so, so my body has adjusted all right. During the day its fine, but when I wake up and go to sleep....its hell and I realize how much I'm destroying my health. Just one. more. week. Till. FREEDOM.

Other things: Lacrosse's last regular season game is tomorrow night! Against an old rival- the game will probably be very chippy and fierce. Let''s hope that if I play, I don't mess up. Then next week we start playoffs- I hope we do well. If we win this game, we might just make it into the top 10 teams in the state. We're #11 right now, and we're facing the #12 team. AWWW YEAAH ITS GONNA BE A GOOD GAME
Also last week Thursday we had our lacrosse Senior Night, and my parents both came to see me I even played! MY coach put me in as a midfield though (plays both offense and defense) when my entire lacrosse career I've only played Attack (offense only) so naturally I was terrified. Didn't do too badly though- I even stopped a few passes. The awesome thing tho was that it was the last 2 and a half minutes of the game, and the coach called a time out just to put me in. When he announced it, the whole team cheered (inside I was like SHITSHITSHIT I CANT PLAY DEFENSE IDK WTF I'M DOING) but it was freaking awesome. I'm really quiet on lacrosse because I'm not that good (God-awful xD) so I don't wanna draw attention to myself and be obnoxious, especially in light of the fact of how awful I am, so I hadn't realized that my team really cared for me. It was a great moment.

Anyways: I've been working like hell to get our school's literary magazine out on time this week (recall I'm the President of our Writing Club) and its difficult in the extreme because a great deal of our senior club members suddenly bailed when it came time to work. So......yeah. We'll get the printed copies to sell tomorrow, I just hope that they're all ok.

MAN I'VE BEEN BUSY. I'M TIRED AND I MISS YOU GUYS LIKE BLOODY HELL. Unfortunately I'll still not be online through the weekend, and I won't be back to normal till after next Wednesday. I have finals, and I'm not the sort to let these things go....regardless of the fact that its my last week of school as a senior xD So that's what it is! I'm also planning my grad party and getting ready to choose courses and make housing decisions for Villanova next year. BUSY AS FUCK
Thanks for understanding though guys. I'll try to respond to comments, but like I said: nothing major (deviations/journals/etc.) till next week. If you guys need to talk though about anything, or need comfort, I'm still here, just send me a note or a Facebook inbox and I'll be there.

Wrote this update because I just dropped off the face of the earth and you guys deserve to know what's up. Thanks for being so patient with me.

Can't wait for summer. Hope you're all having great ends of the year!
