Well, summer is a bit over halfway done, and so far, it's been good ^^ Mostly been working and reading a lot, but I've hung out and gone shopping with my mom a lot, which is usually quite fun.

I've been reading a lot recently; the news (and watching it), science books/magazines (I'm currently reading a book on the brain which I find fascinating), and of course, National Geographic; my all time favorite magazine. Culture, history, science, art; it has everything I love x3. I haven't been drawing much (then again...I haven't really draw a lot since entering high school) or writing much. I've mostly been spending my time watching the Discovery, National Geographic, etc, channels and I've actually learned a lot, which I love x3 Yay for knowledge!

Since I don't update much, I know I haven't mentioned that at the end of August - beginning of September, my parents and I are going on a cruise as a graduation present x3 I don't know the islands off by heart yet, but we're going to be swimming with stingrays/snorkeling, Zip-lining/going to the beach, and visiting ancient ruins x3 I picked the Zip-lining and the ruins. We get to zip-line through the a Rain forest from platform to platform, some being 20-40 ft off the ground, and up to 400 ft away from each other! I'm so excited for it...but we plan on ditching the beach and heading back to the ship xD; I'm also incredibly excited for the ruins; we saw a video from some people who had done the tour, and from the top, the people below looked like ants. This trip is going to be awesome.
