<3 SNOW! and Epic Fail.

Namely, physics. I'm hoping I'll get either 3 or less or then 6 - could be either. Boo.

I got my SAT scores a few hours ago. Good thing, too, because otherwise my mood would be even worse. Bio was great, and lit and chem went well too. Goody. Bio rules. Who really cares about higher quantum physics, anyhow?

Now all I need to care about is finishing the damn essay for common app and send my Viksu entry. Oh, and my math, chem and bio exams next week. But really? Who cares? Those are easy sevens.

I saw the cutest ankle boots ever. And only 150e, too. I'll buy them next week when I get paid.

It's snowing! Finally! It was so pretty this morning.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Oh dear. I'm beginning to understand why people say that the IB2 year is hard. As in, really hard. Really, really hard. Only 100 gazillion deadlines, lab reports, math portfolios and lord knows what else. Chances are, I've forgotten quite a few things I should've done. Anyhow, the stress on lab reports and stuff is decreasing. I've got less things to do than six weeks ago - yay! Ok, not that I had too much free time now, either, but at least I have some free time. Goody. All I need to care about right now is my Viksu entry and the exam week. Ok, so the exam week isn't too nice now that I have a slight pressure on getting a 7.0 GPA. It's fully manageable. Kind of. If I get a 7 from physics, it's as good as done. But physics... not fun. Especially when it's the HL physics course on higher quantum and particle physics and digital technology. Yay. Then again, If I manage a 7, the few top-notch colleges should love me. Do I have any options? Nah.


Also, I'm kind of busy with other stuff. As in, cycling. My new training program is kind of hard. But if that means that I beat everyone else (apart from the pros) next year, it's worth it. Maybe. I might even start practising track. Or then not. Probably not. Track has always seemed kind of dumb.

But my dreadful fall full of too much stuff was made a lot better by a random newsletter. I had been really disappointed about my bad luck - one of my favorite bands, Von Hertzen Brothers, has a live tour going on, and the K-18 tour finishes - but of course - one day before my 18th birthday. Yes, one day. Sucky. Talk about bad timing. But when I read my email a few hours ago I noticed that as the last night of the tour had been sold out so quickly, they had decided to go for one extra night. The day after. As in, on my b-day. Ha. Oh yes, I definately know where I am on my birthday. What fun.

Right now I love my life. Apart from physics HL. But that doesn't count.
