I come to you all today in the midst of trying-to-do-anything-but-my-homework. I thought I would give an update on all things important in life: Birthdays, Books and Other Cool Stuff.
First up, birthdays! So, good old March is coming along tomorrow and do you even know how many March birthdays there are in this family? LOTS. It's like, the best month of the year DUHTOTALLY. In fact, there is one particular person who has a birthday in March that is very dear to our hearts. She is a magnificent person with incredible good looks, uncanny intelligence and a superb sense of humor. She may or may not be turning 15 or something. Yeah, I don't know her either.
But if I DID know her, she probably would have absolutely NO FRICKIN' IDEA what do to for her birthday considering she lives near a big city with tons of tourist attractions but nowhere actually cool to go to. NO I do not fancy another run of the Art Museum of Natural Boringness, thank you very much. Been there a gazillion times, DONE that a gazillion times. And every other place either decided they were going to hold no events on said birthday date or they were going to showcase the most awful performers or exhibits. AND NO FATHER, I WILL NOT GO SEE MONTY PYTHON'S SPAMALOT SHOW, THAT WAS NOT FUNNY AND THE SONG YOU COULD NOT STOP SINGING WAS NOT CATCHY.
As far as books go, one of my most favoritest book series final installment is coming out on the 13th and I'm SO FLIPPING EXCITED ITS CA-RAZZY. The author is Rachel Hawkins, a.k.a the funniest woman alive, and the book series is called Hex Hall. Since the third book comes out on the Tuesday, serious preparations will have to be made to ensure that book is in my possession by 4 o'clock that evening (and when I say ensure, I actually mean IT MUST BE NO EXCEPTIONS DO YOU HEAR ME).
There are several things that fall under the Other Cool Stuff category, one being that my very first journalism article was published on the online website of my school's newspaper! Being in journalism means that I am learning about the stuff they do in newspaper, a class I will be taking next year. Journalism is a prerequisite, which also means that any stuff I write for journalism is just stuff, like any other class. But I wrote a feature article on Girls and Football (two topics I pride myself in being an expert in. What? Don't look at me like that. It's true.) and my journalism teacher liked it so much she gave it to the newspaper staff and they said OH YES THIS GIRL IS TALENTED LETS JUST CELEBRATE HER AWESOMENESS and put my article uppp! Anyway, if you would like to check that out, here is the link to my school's online paper and my article:

While your there, why not check out some of the other articles up? Most are really quite good and funny as well. Show your Husky support or whatever.
Also on this list, is the fact that I have applied to something. Again.
I actually had completed my application a month ago, but now, seeing as I will probably get the admission results soon, I decided to describe my attempt at trying to get into the Teen Ink Summer Program.
Basically, this is a writing workshop type program that happens for 2 weeks in New York City. Yes, I said NYC. During the two weeks, you get to stay in Julliard dorm rooms with other high school teenage girls and get an awesome writing experience, as well as an opportunity to take advantage of New York City's amazingness. This description is quite vague for now, but if I get accepted I will elaborate for sure.
So? Has spring sprung yet for everyone? It sure hasn't here. Our weather is like a hormonal bi-polar teenager...minus the angst and acne. Ha. That line was HI-LARIOUS.
Oh, speaking of Hi-larious things, I also wrote a very hi-larious article for a journalism opinion assignment. And guess what topic I chose? You guessed it! Teen trends ;)
Well, must go back to pretending I'm doing my homework.
Love,
Danielle
