where have I been?

Avoiding my responsibilities, of course! That's how I ended up here, desperately searching for a way to escape the more important ventures of modern teenage life. Here's a quick update of how my life has changed since I last posted:

• I survived junior year (barely) (seriously, I will never be the same...)
• I can legally drive myself, a blood relative, and some other guy (I'm still car-less, but searching)
• I'm 5' 9.75" (not that it matters, because I've never revealed my height to you guys, and also because this blog has an audience of <1)
• I'm editor-in-chief of my school newspaper! (one of the accomplishments I'm most proud of in my life)
• I'm taking creative writing classes @ Brown University (!!!)
• Just got back from Wildwood (I have major jet lag...if that's even possible)
• I visited UPenn, SJU, and UDel (All of which I actually really like)
• I think I can finally consider myself a young adult (for reals this time, not in the bar-mitzvah-you're-a-man-now or girl-scouts-you're-official-now kind of way)

So now it's almost 4:30 in the afternoon, I'm still in my pajamas, and I haven't eaten anything yet. My hair is atrocious, I'm PMSing, and I'm kind of just stranded in the deserted island of my couch. Yet overall, I'm okay. And that actually means a lot.
