Happy Memorial Day.

Memorial Day.. Thank you, soldiers :D! I'm against war and all that, but still, what they do for our country is just amazing. It's not often that you can find people with passion like that. So, to all in the army/navy/marines/whatever, thanks. And there's my spill of patriotism. And it's pretty much all that I have of it, too. Haha.

My dad's coming to get me in about thirty minutes to go eat lunch, and then I have to come straight back home to continue working on this monster of a paper. It's for the AP World History class I'll be taking next year. It has to be between 700 and 1000 words, focusing on five topics (the Ancient World, the East and Asian World 1400-1800, the Renaissance and Reformation, Africa 1800-2009, Latin America 1800-2009), with two credible resources for each topic, typed in perfect MLA format. Goodness. The topics: you have to pick an important figure from each time period and argue why they're important to study. And all I've gotten so far is that I think I want to choose Hatshepsut for my person for the Ancient World. She was a pharaoh for Egypt. I just thought it was kinda cool that there was a female pharaoh. Anyway, enough boring history talk. Oh, and the paper's due on Friday.

Oh yeah. And I'll be having a test on the second day of the 09-10 school year, requiring me to label a map of the world with all current geographic countries. Sounds exciting, doesn't it? The worst part: I'm bestowing this all upon myself. I don't HAVE to take the AP class. But I want the college credit, and I know that I'm capable of doing the advanced classes. I don't even know what I'm going to have to do for Honors English 10 over the summer. Ohhh Lord.

I need to go and get ready for when Dad comes.. God forbid he'd have to wait until 12:01. But I love him to death. :]

Oh yeah, the picture. It was taken on our last day in Cancun, Mexico. We went for Spring Break this year in March. It was really fun, and I was being kinda crazy with the souvenir sombreros my sister got for her friends.

Later, xoxo.
