Blahhhhhh

I am running on very little sleep. I have been at school for approximately 14 hours each day so far this week. In Monument until 10 PM. each night plus baseball practice and I have to find a time to do my homework. I need some free time to catch up on homework. I am considering telling coach that I can't come to practice today so that I can catch up on homework. I am very sore because I am going from working out to sitting in a chair for hours. I tighten up and can't get good sleep because of it. I have to write a 3 to 4 page data collection paper by tomorrow. I am really stressed and just need to sit down and finish everything.
I have not had time to work on my "Thirteen Days of Musical" lyrics and don't plan on working on it for at least a week or two. So many things going on right now that I can't think straight. So this is my weekly check-in, I hope it is sufficient. Going back to working on homework.

If I was standing in front of seven doors that read Hogwarts, Camalot, Narnia, Neverland, Wonderland, Middle Earth, and Westeria, which would I choose?

I would probably choose Hogwarts. There are many reasons why Hogwarts is the place I'd choose. First off, it's freaking Hogwarts, who wouldn't want to go to a castle for school, seriously? Second off, I would love to actually meet all the professors, especially Snape. Thirdly, who wouldn't want to learn how to fly on a
broomstick? Possibly having Potter leading the lesson. I have seen every movie, and I am finishing every book. I would like to meet all the characters from the novels, learn magic, go exploring through the castle, find hidden chambers, and get into a little trouble. Hanging out with Hagrid, and his pets. Playing chess on a giant chess board, or even just wizards chess in general. Taking a potions class and mixing various chemicals with professor Snape. Or dueling in Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Meeting the Weasely twins, and buying some of their paraphernalia. Using the Marauder's Map to avoid people you dislike, or being able to find the people you never can. Play in a Quidditch match. Use the Piertotum Locomotor spell in the same way that Professor McGonagall uses it, (but not under the same circumstances). There are so many more reasons I would choose Hogwarts, and I could go on an on about them, but I am not going to. Because that would get very boring. These are just some of the reasons I would choose Hogwarts over the other six doors.

Week of the 13th March

I am about to go on a rant, so please do not take anything personally. Thanks

I am going to be so busy the next couple of weeks. Baseball starts next Monday, Spring Musical Tech, starts this Friday, I am helping out at school tonight and tomorrow night, I have a ski banquet on Thursday night as well. Then the next week is more Tech for spring musical, and baseball practice at the same time. And then, not to forget, Friday the stage lights are loaded in. And we then spend the ENTIRE weekend hanging and focusing them. It is going to be a long weekend. And following this weekend, Tech Week begins, 5 days of being at school from 8 am-8 pm,(that is all the actors, and tech people, EXCEPT for me). I stay until 10. That's 14 hours of being at school for an entire week. The week after Tech Week, is the week of shows which is a lot of fun. Until Strike on Sunday, where everything gets cleaned up and put away. The worst part of strike is that a lot (not all) of the actors leave early in the process. I would just like to say that I am very grateful for everyone who stays until it is finished.
At least this week,(the 11th-16th) I get to spend the last period of each day doing Yoga, super relaxing. Blah!!!!

I am about to embark on a journey of a 900 page novel. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. "John Clark is used to doing the CIA's dirty work. Now he's taking on the world... Rainbow Six."... "At its heart is ex-Navy SEAL John Clark, now the newly named head of Rainbow, an international task force dedicated to combating terrorism. In a trial by fire, Clark is confronted with a violent chain of seemingly separate international incidents. But there is no way to predict the real threat: a group of terrorists like none the world has ever encountered, a band of men and women so extreme that their success could literally mean the end of life on earth as we know it....."(quoted Clancy inside front cover)
I started this novel two summers ago and never got around to finishing it. I had read approximately 350 pages, but have forgotten what has already happened. I am going to start it over from page one and be taken on the journey one page at a time. I will be posting some chapter summaries, but will not be giving away anything to vital to the ending. I hope. I am going to dive in head first and power through the engaging plot.
