I must admit, I am angry, even enraged, with myself. I have only 10 days, even less than that, but I am unprepared to the exams; I wanted to keep a nearly regular journal, but I haven't written in a long time. But no matter what, chastising myself will do no good.

So what's up? How's everybody doing? In my life everything is still the same. Soon enough,though, I will not be waking up and frantically rushing to school, and only one word gives a simple, but sufficient explanation: graduation. Of course, it is kind of nice to finally see the twilight of the 12 years in high school and the dawn of something new, but at the same time a nostalgic worm gnaws over these same 12 years. Especially over last two years at Grandview, which I will sincerely miss. Perhaps it is true that we should not develop in ourselves any feeling of attachment to any place in this world, but we are all merely humans.

So any exiting news?Nope. Except approaching AP exams, ELA graduation party on Friday, baseball's final game of the season tomorrow, and bunch of tests, practices, and things to turn in to check out, to check in, and etc. 还有下个星期三有一个考试在我的中文一级课。In my English class I have to read Plainsong by Kent Haruf. Mr. Batt, my teacher says it has some profanity in it. Well, I want to read it anyway. Besides, I want to raise my grade in that class, and since it is AP course they give you extra credit. Not that I would worry about my credits, but I guess it is a natural greed for better grades)))

So here are some vocabulary words for you, chicos. All taken from my AP English vocabulary packet:

• erratic- lacking in consistency;

• errant-straying outside of proper bounds;

• erroneous-incorect;

• implausible- highly imaginative, but not likely to occur.

I did not provide any examples here. I hope they are all quite clear, but if you need I can elucidate their meaning for you,ok? Have a good time guys. While we all can...
