Hello from Crazytown! Not to be confused with Crzytown, the fictional village in which my Animal Crossing character lives. Crazytown is where I seem doomed to live this semester. I have so much stuff going on, it’s like it never ends!!!!! Of course, most of that is homework and class stuff that would bore you if I went into the details, so I still don’t have much to tell you guys about the past week. I did have my WinShape interview. It was supposed to be Wednesday, but I got my time zones mixed up and missed it. Luckily, my interviewer was really understanding and let me reschedule for Thursday, so I was really relieved. The interview went fine, I think. But I won’t find anything out until the end of the month. So now I have to be patient. *sigh* Other than that, I went to fencing, and D-group started Thursday, so that was fun :). I also wrote a book on Sunday! That’s not entirely accurate. I did come up with the words, but the main thing I had to do was illustrate it, since it was a picture book for my Literacy class. For anyone who doesn’t know, I can’t draw. So it took me a very long time to draw very bad pictures and I don’t even want to look at another coloring pencil for at least the next decade. Hopefully I won’t have any more assignments like that any time soon… And now, on a happier note, I believe Ambah has asked me some questions!
Age- by law, I think age stops mattering when you turn 18. Like, a 22 year old can’t date a 17 year old (unless parents approve in some states), but the same 18 year old can date the now 23 year old. (I’m pretty sure that’s how the law goes. But it’s also possible that I’m completely wrong. If so, sorry!) When it comes to high school-undergraduate-graduate I think the max age gap increases as you get older (obviously). For a high school/undergraduate relationship, I’d say maybe a year or two? Beyond that, though, it gets kinda iffy. Undergraduate/graduate wise, my first thought is if they were both undergraduates at the same time and the older one just moved up, like freshman/senior to sophomore/graduate, I guess. High school/graduate- absolutely not! Obviously, this isn’t a set in stone type of thing. I think that until you’re out of high school, you should stay within a couple of years of your age, but after that it depends more on maturity levels and personal preferences than actual age differences, so you can’t really set rules that will work for every person in every relationship.
Waking up- well, mom, one way to make sure you can wake up on time is to go to sleep at a reasonable hour! Like, 3 hours of sleep? Are you serious? You could be doing some serious damage to your health! Not to mention limiting your ability to actually do all the stuff you have going on (I just split an infinitive for you! That’s how much you worry me!). Is there any way you can find a better means to manage your time? Like, sit down and plan out a schedule. One where you can get your work done AND get adequate sleep. And hang out with your friends. But no sitting around watching TV or wasting time! Lol, I feel like I’m being the mom right now :). If you absolutely must function on minimal sleep, though, you could invest in one of those cool alarm clocks that will roll off your bedside table and hide from you so you have to get up and find it to shut it off. Or I think they have some where you have to answer math questions to stop the noise (you can adjust the difficulty level so that even a math whiz like yourself has to wake up to answer the questions). And if the alarm clock just isn’t doing the trick, see if you can get a friend to check on you at a certain time and make sure you’re out of bed. And I’m not talking about a nice, polite friend, either. Get one of your loud, obnoxious, shout through the door and won’t leave you alone until you answer friends. Can you find someone like that? Or did you lose her in St. Louis…
Leprechaun- excuse me, I believe you spelled LEPRecon wrong. And to answer your question, I would be the happiest Artemis Fowl fan in the world, that’s what I’d do! Though… I would also probably be really bad at it… with all the gun shooting and large vehicle flying and all… maybe I could just be a consultant or something? That’d be cool, and I could still be a fairy! Hmm, what kind of fairy would I want to be? Probably a pixie. Except not an evil-crazy-bent-on-world-domination pixie like Opal Koboi. Just your average, adorable, super genius with magic pixie. That would be fun! I could rival Artemis and Foaly!
