Okay, I had a sandwich and a frappuccino at Starbucks, and I felt incredibly ill after that. It sometimes happens with me and coffee. Then (well, ten minutes ago), my eyelid started itching and now, either because I scratched it or because of an allergic reaction, it's blown up. I knew it was a really bad idea to eat at Starbucks. I'm now typing with that eye closed, because it's easier, but I can take it. One more final left! Math. They're going badly, but all I can wish for now is to pass and then to get on to summer.

The good news it that my cold isn't as bad, although now I have a cough. Maybe it'll be gone by Thursday, because I have to have a doctor's appointment that I need to go to in order to volunteer at a hospital. Except now I'm sick. So I guess proving that I'm healthy won't be as easy.

I'M TURNING EIGHTEEN!

If you send me something through dA, I promise I won't open it till the day of my birthday, July 23. No one should send me any wine. I won't be able to drink it for three years. Bummer. You can draft me though! Totally... preferable... >.>

I WANT THOSE PERKS. What perks could you mean, `WineWriter? I don't know, reader, hmmmmmmmm.... (I'm not allowed to use that emoticon!)

In less hyper-active aging news, I took my SAT today. I have no idea how I did, but I feel good about it, whatever score it may be. I wasn't too nervous, and it went smoothly enough. Six hours of test, then done... and now finals. But summer is so soon! It's been tough to study with freedom so close. I got an 83% on my history final, which I'm relieved about. I'm pretty sure my teacher was lenient in his grading, because I know that I could have easily gotten in the 70s.

My mother's friend has "commissioned," me to paint her a white flower on canvas. It'll be my summer project. I'm in no way as confidant about my art as I am about my writing, but who am I to say no? She says that she'll buy the material and if she likes the result, she'll buy the painting. So, sure, I am willing. I've wanted painting material for forever. I just hope she knows what she's getting herself into, because it's not such a cheap hobby. It's not overly expensive, like a computer, but it's still something to have another person pay that. It could hinder me from picking the best material. I've used bad paints and brushes, and it's awful. I predict that if it's too much, my mom and her friend will split the cost.

I'll be more available when finals end. I would love to talk to you guys. Feel free just to strike up a conversation whenever. Especially if we haven't chatted.

Some of you who read my writing and journals may have noticed that I've only uploaded a couple of things into my gallery in the last few months. Summer starts next week, but in that next week I will have both my finals and SATs. Today I got home from doing a horrendous job on my history final and I was feeling very upset with myself. Then, I log onto dA and see that Mermaid got a DD!

It truly brightened my perspective after the last couple of days I've had. Especially after last night, when I stayed up so late trying to cram (which I know does not work for me.) I may have day after day of finals and tests, but now at least I have something happy to remember from this period of the year.

Thank you so much ^LadyLincoln for giving me the DD, and I really appreciate the comments and faves. I will respond to all the comments in due time, probably periodically over the next week and a half. My finals end next Wednesday! I almost have no time to stress for the SATs. Anyway, thank you so much. I have many plans for the summer and I will update on everything as soon as summer starts.

Schedule:

Wednesday 3rd - Spanish final
Thursday 4th - History final (And DD!)
Friday 5th - Free Day, since SATs are tomorrow (School switched around the schedule for the juniors taking SATs)
Saturday 6th - SATs
Sunday 7th - Studying
Monday 8th - Science final
Tuesday 9th - English final
Wednesday - Math final (Last one!)
