Camp NaNoWriMo 2012!

Well, the June session of Camp NaNoWriMo has begun. I got into the game a little late. Ahem, about twelve days late. So I'm going to have to write about 2500 words a day rather than 1667 words a day in order to finish in time. But I'm still very determined. I got myself sponsored via www.stayclassy.org and got a nifty badge for my camper profile which can be found here.

And I was just procrastinating, because I am terrible, and I found out that they have little participant badges so here's mine. They're available for all types of internet real state.
So, I must get back to noveling. I shall speak with you later internet.

Summer Projects!

So a couple of posts back I wrote about my busy summer plans. Well, in keeping with the Theresa-is-moderately-insane theme that this blog has taken on over the past few months, I am now going to share with you my Summer Projects for 2012. Yay!

Okay so the 7th of June is my last day of class, but I'm considering the 13th to be the beginning of my summer vacation as I am finished with finals. I have regents on the 14th and 19th and I get my report card on the 22nd, but whatever. And I am considering the 7th of September to be my end of Summer. That's a full three months for me to complete some awesome non school related projects. So shall we?

  • Since I'm going to be traveling a lot this summer, and participating in a lot of events, I'm going to keep a summer trip/event journal. I'm going to put this in a marble-composition-type-notebook because their durable, and easy to carry around. 
  • I'm going to be continuing my Awesome Notebook in which I state why each day is awesome. In the back I've been keeping a list of books I've read for the 50 Book Challenge, which brings me to the next project.
  • I'm going to try to read 15 books this summer, which may not even allow me to complete the 50 Book Challenge. But I WILL complete it. Mostly because I am terrified of failure in any form. 
  • Videos can be expected on my channel: www.youtube.com/theresak419, EVERY WEEK! Oh my Gosh! What a change!!!
So those are my summer project. I'll also be updating this as often as I can, which should be much more often than I have been since I have the Blogger app for my iPhone. But you know. 

So I'm home from PA, and I think that within the next two weeks you can expect a video on my channel with Julia. It would have been up two weeks ago, but I need to refilm because my head isn't in the frame. This is mostly because I have better posture than Julia, despite her being taller than me. 

Okay, Internet, this is the first time I am ever going to say this but, please subscribe/follow me on Blogger, Twitter, YouTube, and Tumblr. It would mean a lot. Also comment underneath this post, or any post. I'd like to know that I'm being read and comprehended. 

Ooh! And in about a month I'm going to be announcing something big that only Caroline and Julia know. Enjoy perusing the internet.

Quarterly Crisis

Every three months or so, I go through this crisis in which I question all of my beliefs, everything I stand for, and everything I want for myself. While I think that questioning beliefs and internal reflection leads to personal growth, I don't this that these spurts of self doubt are helping.

They all start the same: I have a bad throat day or I don't tune my guitar, and BAM I am singer/songwriter/guitarist/actress to walk the planet and my life with never be what I want it to be. Then I fall behind on my work: schoolwork, videos, planning for performances. Then comes my favorite part of all: I decide that all of my friends aren't true friends, that no one will ever love me, and I will die alone from anaphylactic shock or asthma because I live with a hundred cats even though I'm allergic and then they will eat my flesh when I'm dead.
I honestly was going through one of these today. But now everything is okay because I have so much good in my life. I have so many people who do love me, I have great friends because I'm a great friend, and there's always going to be someone I know with a harder life. They could be poor, abused, suicidal, ECT. I'm just a little egocentric at 2:30 in the morning.

I'm in PA right now so I get to add that to the journeys list. Haven't finished any books lately, but I'm reading The Catcher in the Rye. It's good.

Good night Internet.
