College! And...er...more sites.
I also got some new blogs: Vox, MindSay, and Blogster. Now, hear me out: each new blog gives me new features and opportunities to ignore. But this one sounds really fun: MindSay has a wiki. And I automatically have my own page. It requires an account to edit, so i guess it isn't a true wiki, but still. I can't wait to see what sort of stuff people say about me on it.
Oh, and I'm going to be on my own at last. Mum's moving in with her boyfriend at the end of September, and letting me stay here. I'll have to pay the bills and whatnot, but Ill be alone without having to scour the horrors of the housing market. Student loan time! (I also have to get a laptop, since my current computers are going to shit).

Procrastinate now.
I think I may have a semi-finalised schedule, now that my late PSEO paperwork is done:
First hour: Physics
Second hour: AP Statistics (Pelkey)
Third hour: AP Spanish (Qualley)
(A lunch)
1:00-1:50PM Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays: World History Pre-1500 (PSEO)
Sixth hour: AP English Language (Devine)
Speaking of which, today was my first day of CLC studentship. It wasn't that different from a normal high school course: introductions, "why are we doing this?" &c; but I have a feeling it will get to be more APish as time progresses. They already have us writing a paragraph on one person--from before 1500--with whom we would like to dine--and what we would ask them. So, I need to find an interesting, sociable historical figure who wasn't known for poisoning. Any suggestion?
In other news, I saw my dad a couple of days ago. Suffice to say we haven't seen him for over a year--maybe two, we were with Mark at the time--by our own choice. So, it was a happy, albeit awkward event. He was looking as hippie-ish as ever, sporting a pair of braids--he said that everyone tells him he looks like Willie Nelson--a long, three pointed beard, and a headband. He said that he now can't work--due to his rheumatoid arthritis--and he's making too little to live in the US--but maybe in Mexico... Of course, I don't think that he could live off of the US government's disability pay in a foreign country.
