Okay, new thing for me is to update blogs on wednesdays.

Guys, I am deeply saddened.

Why aren't you guys asking about the blog or more importantly, me updating the blog?

Don't I matter to you guys? ):

Just kidding, alright.

So, although idle as a blogger, I have been hard at work, trying to prepare for next year.

I am currently creating a day by day schedule for next year. Yep, and I

am planning to have a fun first day, so come on April 11th. Don't worry, we'll just slightly start up, get to know each other, and then I will let you guys go because I know everyone wants to study for AP exams. We are going to start writing speeches in that week, so prepare! Think of subjects.

I am also currently working on a short intro to economics. I need one or two volunteers to help me!

Please tell me by March 16th!
