Update Time!

It has been a full month since my last post, but as I don't apologize to my blog followers, I shan't. Instead, I shall attempt to fill my avid readers in on what all has been going on in my life...


I have committed to the College of William & Mary. I'm beside myself with anticipation for college- more on that later. 


I'm in the midst of AP Hell Week.


My job is becoming higher-maintenance by the week.


My friendships have grown stronger than ever.


I've been spending far too much time listening to sad folk songs by neofeminist acoustic guitar players.


The Czar and I are happy as ever.


I turned eighteen, bought a losing lottery ticket, and went clubbing.


So, I suppose that about covers it. I figured describing a whole month would take more effort, but apparently my life is less interesting than I thought. Instead of boring you, dear readers, with more diary-like writing, I'm going to quote some recent emails I have given and received to and from the Archduke. The Czar has sent emails as well, but they are mushy and poetic and not nearly as absurd as the following.


"Kate told me today that currently school is comparable to a lame-duck presidency. This is because anything important in our high school careers has already been done and we're not seeking a chance to return ever again. Thus, we are only looking to the future and all time in school is an utter waste."


"Dearest Dear of Dear Dear Dearness,

At this time, I sit on my unmade bed.  My feet are tangled in my comforter.  My arm and about 10% of my arse are resting on a moderately stuffed pillow.  The rest of my arse has no pillow."

"I now have an iGoogle homepage. It has a hamster. And of course, my facebook, gmail, NY Times, etc. But mostly a hamster. He's cute."

"Do I get to call you the Archgoose?  Since apparently geese and ducks are, in common language, essentially the same species according to certain individuals.."

"I discovered that even were I to major in maths, I would still make no monies, as all monies are in applied and not pure maths."

"During first period, I took a physics test.  This is because my first period is physics."

Every day I attend school lately, I feel like I'm losing intelligence. Sometimes I look back on my high school career and wonder why I can't remember positive things. It's not that nothing good has happened in the past four years; I'm sure good things have come to pass. It's just that so much more of this time period has been negative than positive...all those people who call it the best four years of their lives don't have a clue what it's like to try for Valedictorian. It's stressful and boring and requires far too much commitment and motivation. In one's pursuit of this title, one loses one's best friends, one's Me Time, one's positive outlook, and one's four years. Something I can say, though, is that high school has fostered my flame for sarcasm and bitingly negative wit. I promise to write again, soon, dear readers.
