I do not have anything interesting to blog about. However, the alternative is keeping a journal for Language Arts. So here are my Goals for the Summer—and moreover the school year.

• Do enough school to take off some in December.
• Do not fail Advanced Math
• Do Language Arts without whining excessively. Find meaning in the books even if they are unintelligible.
• Learn Hayden’s Concerto no. 2. Try out for districts.
• Learn insane cantata thing that is apparently entitled, “Ruft un dies kampft mien dur bitte wienermullen gerbenstrasse wuft un dies stimme”, or “Sleepers Awake”.
• Write thank-you notes.
• Get decent scores on the PSAT.
• Relearn the French horn.
• Do not break my braces.
• Taize!!!!!
• Stop being bothered when people a) ask if my hair is naturally curly; b) call me a name that is not mine such as Sophie, Emily, or Linnea, all of which I get confused with on a regular basis; c) think that I am seventeen; d) ask if I am pursuing music as a career.
• Keep my seat in the orchestra.
• I would say keep my seat in the band, but because Ryan is gone I will actually be advancing by default so that is moot.
• Finish chem.
• Learn to drive. Do not crash, hyperventilate, or scream.
• Begin advanced biology. Do not complain about having to cut up a COW’S EYEBALL.
• Possibly get a job. Maybe. We’ll see.
• That’s all I can think of right now.
• Some restrictions may apply.
