So, I'm really sorry Brandi and I haven't been very active for the past few months. We've been very busy, but I'll give you guys a short run down of what has been going through my life recently.
- Junior Year - As some of you may know, it is rumoured that junior year in high school is the most stressful year out of the four years in school. I am here to put those rumours to rest. Junior year has been by far the most stressful year in my eleven years of education. Between my dual credit courses, regular classes, and extracurricular, I am finding I have far too many things to do with very little time. I haven't read many books lately, besides Upton Sinclair's The Jungle and Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter for my American Lit class, I haven't had time to do the reading thing.
- ACT's and College-Type Things Alike - Another lovely benefit to being a junior, is that you should probably start applying to colleges, taking ACT's, SAT's, filing out job job applications so you can have money for said college applications, it get's to be a bit much.
- Holiday Things - Yes, 'tis the season. The time period between Thanksgiving and Christmas has been living hell. See reasons above. ^^
- Relationships - Lately I've been realising that in about five months, nearly all of my friends ((including the Lovely Brandi)) will be graduating high school, and some will be off to start their first year in college. So I've been dedicating a lot of time to hang out with these people before they leave me. Deal with it. I have also been busy with my private relationship lately, because my parental units aren't exactly savvy with the whole idea of me having a significant other.
- Other News - Right after Thanksgiving, I received a call from my mother in which my mother told me my grandmother had cancer.... again. I've been going over to her house whenever I can, spending time with her. She finished her last radiation treatment last Wednesday, and I was ecstatic. I still go over to her house after my night courses on Wednesdays, and we'll sit around, drink coffee, and talk about the world.
- Work-Type Things - Woooooot. I've been an assistant DJ at Select Entertainments for a while now. Moving up the echeladder. Money for college. Wooooooot.
This is how the past few months of my life have gone. As you can see, there hasn't been much time for reading. However, Christmas Break starts on Tuesday, and I plan to read four books before the end of 2014 so I can complete my reading challenge for this year. This has only been my past few months, lord knows what Brandi is going through, with her seniority and all.
Look forward to a few book reviews relatively soon, and I will see you all later.
Until next time,
~ Josh
