Not a Good Month

I haven't updated this in almost a month... I've been sick recently (just like everyone else in the world), I missed six days of school and am still struggling to catch up in a few of my classes. Three weekends ago, Pam tackled me while we were playing Frisbee and I sprained my ankle. I know of like 5 other people who have screwed up their ankles in the past few weeks... That same weekend, I came down with some sort of stomach bug. I didn't want to deal with both of those at school, so stayed home for three days until the stomach thing got mostly better. The following weekend, I'm still not sure why, but I developed vertigo and got to deal with room-spinning goodness and feeling like I was about to fall over or faint every time I stood up or tried to walk around. Again I stayed home for three days. I've managed to catch up in most of my classes, but am still behind in Physics and probably did badly on that Psych quiz I made up.

And in the mean time, I've had a shopping cart left in my room, which was then turned into a giant platypus by Carol and left on my front porch, done horribly on a Physics test, aced a Calc test, become a National Merit Semi-Finalist, postponed my SAT IIs until November, and avoided thinking about college as much as possible. I've also come to a few realizations in the past few weeks, but I don't feel like writing any of them down just yet.

Thankfully it's a three day weekend. And as it's half-an-hour until the 7th, Happy Birthday Giulia!
