The End [of May] Draws Near

I was thinking about how soon May will be over. (Actually, I've been thinking about that a lot...) I realized that if I was going to blog anymore during May, I would have to do it today. Tomorrow is Sunday, and I don't like to go online on Sundays if I can help myself. Besides, we're going to be pretty busy tomorrow. So tonight is my only chance. I'm supposed to be in bed by eleven...we'll see how much blogging I can get done between now and then. Especially considering the fact that I am on the computer and will surely be distracted by something else.

Ten minutes later...

May has been busy, but not busy, at the same time. Life is full of conundrums. I came down with a cold a couple of weeks ago and fell behind in school. I am easily overwhelmed, which means that once I fell behind I was too overwhelmed to continue. I still haven't caught up. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever graduate...

But that is better than not wanting to graduate, which were my feelings at some points over the last few weeks. It's kind of scary not knowing what's coming ahead. Four years ago, I knew I would be at home doing high school for several years. The same was true three years ago, as well as two; and last year, I knew I would have one more year. While I know that I'm still going to be at home, it is rather frightening to not know exactly what lies ahead. I wouldn't say that I'm a control freak (who does?), but I do like being in control and I take pride in being "in the know". Still, the unknown can be exciting as well. What did I say? Life is full of conundrums.

I do have more to say, but as it is past eleven, I think I should wrap it up. Maybe I will share a little more about May in June.

Random Thoughts

"Happy May!" 

...I wrote a couple weeks ago. Now that May is almost over, I thought I should blog some more before it passes me by. Most of me wants to run over to Pinterest (I'll blog later), but I'm fighting the urge. Just. keep. typing. Stay strong.

I failed.

I think I'll have to blog again later.........

Happy May!

Is it May already? That means the year is a quarter of the way over! That's crazy. 2015 is going by waaay too fast for me. I think it's because this is my last half year of being a high school student and a kid. I'm going to be an adult in about two months. Gah!!

I celebrated the beginning of May by making cupcakes. Okay, not really. Dad bought a chocolate espresso cupcake mix at Aldi last week and I've been meaning to make them ever since then. Today (finally) the opportunity presented itself. They were quite good. And I think I like baking more than I thought I did. It's important that it's something that I actually want to do versus having to do it. And I think I like baking more than cooking. Maybe because baking involves sweet things like cookies, brownies, cupcakes...all that good stuff.

I actually did some school today. I hadn't done any yet this week. :( Rebekah, you're trying to graduate before June. If you don't do school, it's not going to happen. I can be so dense sometimes.
