Hello Again

I'm back for the second blog of the day. I spent most of today just relaxing after a long, stressful week.

I don't think I've announced it here on my blog, but I've finally picked which college I'm going to, and I have my housing lined up! After so many months of dragging my feet and deliberating (but mostly dragging my feet), I picked Auburn. It was a strange move for me, since I've pretty much rejected college football and large campuses all of my life. This should be an adventure.

I'm excited to start getting the stuff together for my dorm. I've always enjoyed planning how to decorate my room, and this is a chance to get a fresh start at that. My I've already purchased my comforter for my bed, and a lamp to match it.

Words are Curious Things

Hah. The blog everyday thing lasted... a day. Without Katie around to pester me, it's far too easy to forget. So instead, I'm rewording it to be "A Blog for Every Day in April". I can do that. So today, you get two blogs!

I'm growing a marigold in my windowsill. I've just decided to name it Gerald. His little cotyledons (thank you, science class) popped up out of the dirt last night.

But enough of that.

Blog Everyday in April...

... or something like that. Katie has convinced me to give it a shot, but I don't have nearly enough to say to do something every single day. This should be interesting.

So there's one other event in April: Script Frenzy. It's like National Novel Writing Month, except you have to write 100 pages of script in 30 days. It's not nearly as hard as writing a 50,000 word novel, and I found last year that it wasn't that great of a challenge. I probably won't be doing it this year, just because with graduation and such coming up there are more pressing things. Last year I finished it in... about a week? Mariah finished it in well under a week, so I don't think either of us are doing it again.

Yesterday I bought a new album, Barton Hollow by The Civil Wars. I've been listening to their music for a couple of years now, since I got one of their live albums for free. Most of their songs are duets, and I'm always fond of that kind of music.

Now, today was April Fools Day. April Fool's Day? I'm never sure if there is an apostrophe or not. There weren't nearly as many pranks as I had expected, but there were a few, including some cupcakes that weren't actually cupcakes (cold mashed potatoes and meatloaf in disguise), taped sink sprayers, and the like. This day isn't as epic as I remember it being, but then again, I've never been much for pranking.
