Summer

Last night, I was looking at my calender, trying to piece together my summer. It turns out, I'm barely going to home. I'm only going to be home for 3 or 4 weeks, depending on my dad's planning skills. On the plus side, I am going to be home for my birthday, which hasn't happened the last 3 or 4 years. I don't really mind the being gone so much, but my main problem is my summer assignments. I'm taking AP Lang (which has like 8 assignments), APUSH (which has like 5 assignments, and AP Calc (which will have one, really long, assignment). I don't think I'll be able to do it all. AP Lang has already given me everything I need to do the assignment, so I'm going to try to finish it before summer even starts. I doubt I actually will even get started on it, but I really should. APUSH isn't giving me the books I need yet, and AP Calc we just don't have the assignment at all. It's probably going to be some monstrous packet.
Well, I just went to the library and my mom said I had to finish my homework before I could read and now I'm finished! I probably won't emerge from my room, except to eat, all night tonight. I love it when I get a bunch of new books that I've never read before. *sighs happily*

Celebrity

On Saturday, my little sister had a dance competition. It was cool, but I'm always shocked by the ages of the kids they have performing. They have three-year-old kids in these super-skimpy outfits, dancing all provocatively. It just seems pointless to me. Like, there are other ways to dance, and it's not like these little girls are sexy. They are adorable, but not sexy. I walked backstage to look for my sister, and there was a group of maybe 6- or 7-year-old girls practicing their dance. First, their costumes sort of looked like lingerie. Also, as they're dancing, their teacher starts calling out instructions. The one she said most often? "Use your chests girls!" I was like, they don't HAVE chests, they're 7. It was just weird to me.

On the bright side, there was one other school that was like my little sister's, where there are a bit more modest and the dances are a lot less sexual. Also, my little sister's dance school won a gold medal for every dance they did. And usually they get totally overlooked at these competitions, so that was a very pleasant surprise.
