My dad and I went to the Dive Shop and bought all of our diving gear today. Ick, I hate wet suits; they feel horrible. Our lessons will be in June before I leave for Honduras. It will be really easy since I've already dove three times; it's just to get our official certification. I'm rather excited. I can dive in my own pool! Hahaha.
My sister comes home Wednesday. It's going to suck beyond belief. Not that I dislike her (that much), but I like being the only child. It's much more laid back and I get a whole lot more alone time with her gone. This summer is going to be weird, but I'll be gone a lot so that will help.
I also bought two new books and Tegan & Sara's CD today. I seriously have a whole stack of books I've bought and not had any time to read. That's what bothers me so much about school. They give us these lame classic books that are way past our time to even understand. The thing with required reading, for me at least, is that even though I literally sit there and read the whole book and still make terrible grades on the tests. I think it's because I'm being forced to read something I have no interest in whatsoever. I also think it's because most of the authors they choose are not that great of writers. Honestly, I'd rather read Beverly Cleary books than Charles Dickens. I love reading, just not that books they give us. Anyways, back to the CD-- it's so much more than amazing. It's very different and the lyrics are beautiful.
Did I mention tomorrow is yearbook assembly?!! One of the best days of the whole entire year. I love this day.
Bleh, I'm really procrastinating. I need to do the loads of homework I have, that I never ever do.

I feel the same way about required reading. Starting senior skip day, I did nothing but read. I've been reading like crazy because I get to read what I want to read at my own pace and time. I mean, sometimes I am in the mood for a depressing book, sometimes for a happy book, sometimes for a mystery; rarely does my mood match up for the book we are required to read at school at whatever time we must read it. The time restraints don't help in the enjoyment of the book either. I'd rather read when I want to read, not when Ms. Phipps wants me to read. I guess I have no right to complain about outside reading right now, though:)
