First Delay of the School Year

It snowed for a good portion of the day today, and we already have a two-hour delay for tomorrow.  I'm so excited to sleep in.  It seemed like I was doing a ton after school today.  I had a lot of homework and other things that needed to get done.  I haven't had time for anything else really.  This is going to be extremely short.  I wanted to post something longer, but I still have a couple of things I want to get done.  There may be a two-hour delay tomorrow, but I don't want to stay up later than normal.  I want two extra hours of sleep!

Snow and Presidential Candidate Speeches

This has been one of those weeks that just seems to drag on forever.  It's felt like Thursday all day today, and I've constantly had to remind myself that it's only Wednesday.  In other news, we apparently have a winter storm warning for tomorrow, and it's expected to snow.  It's felt like mid- or late fall for a while now, so it'll be interesting to see what happens with that.

In current events today our teacher showed us a speech Ron Paul gave the other day during the New Hampshire primary.  That guy has some crazy ideas.  I'm not saying whether I agree with them or not.  (I don't know enough about them to really say one way or another.)  But they're definitely things that make you think, and it's all stuff that I've never heard any presedential candidate say in the past.  It makes things interesting, I guess.  If you haven't heard one of his speeches or don't know what his campaign is, you should really check it out.  It's a lot different from the other candidates' that's for sure.

The only way I'm going to make it through this week is to keep reminding myself that it's a three day weekend after this.  (Maybe four day if we get enough snow and they don't make Monday a snow make-up day, but I'm not counting on that.)  I still don't think I've fully adjusted to school again after break.  I honestly spent most of today in a half-asleep daze, and I had to force myself to pay attention in class.

A Lazy Last Day of Break

Today's the last day of my winter break.  On one hand, break seems to have flown by, and on the other, it feels like forever since school ended.  I'm a little excited to go back and see people again.  I'm even excited for some of the classes I'm starting this semester.  On the other hand, I still have an essay I have to finish writing for AP U.S. history, and I'm not too excited about homework.

I'm spending my last day of break being lazy.  My brother and sister went to the movies with my grandma, and I decided to stay home and do nothing.  I had a lot of trouble sleeping last night, which led to me sleeping in way too late this morning.  I just hope I can fall asleep at a somewhat decent time tonight, so I can wake up tomorrow feeling at least kind of awake.

I did manage to film a book review earlier that will be edited, uploaded, and posted here later today.  I want to watch an episode of Naruto later today, so I can review the story arc soon.  And, of course, I have to finish that essay for school.  So, I'm accomplishing some things today, but overall, it'll be lazy.

Tomorrow is the first day of my last semester of high school!  I can't believe I have less than five months of school left.  That's just insane.

Oh, and it snowed today and actually stuck to the ground!  That's the first time this year!  It's very light and melted quickly, but I still got to see it.  It might still be snowing actually.  I'd have to look outside and see.
