APs and States and Nationals, oh my!

So I just noticed that I haven't contributed much to this blog in a while. I've left Quail alone to entertain all of you. Yes, all two of you out there who read this. Shame on me.

I remember that I used to look forward to school. Or at least not mind it. Since when has it become this senseless drudgery of memorization? Where did the individualism, the excitement, the spirit of discovery go?

I bet cynics will tell me that I've been walking around with my eyes closed, banging off the walls, for the past sixteen years. I've just realized this now?!

Anyway. The school year is finally starting to wind down along with my self-galvanization capacities. Previously I've attacked school like the Energizer Bunny, with a stupid grin on my face, unending banging noises, and a pink, fluffy, cuddly personality. Oh, and gigantic quads (There's a story behind that involving Walgreen's oddly proportioned plushies, but I digress). But this is when I need my energy the most! APs are coming, my SAT2s are around the corner, and I couldn't care less.

About the title of this post. Well, only the first two are immediate concerns. Oly and APs. Because my teammates are so kickass, I've got the potential to make it to nationals for not one but TWO activities. Exciting when you consider that the two nationals are two weeks in a row. But leading up to them I've got pre-AP qualifiers. Isn't that great?

Goodness. I can't wait for summer. I got into this research program that I'm UBER excited about. Except I need to survive until then.
