Hi guys!! So, I’m totally stealing this from Kellyn because Kellyn is the best.
School starts for me Tuesday, which means this long summer is O V E R. It was a great summer, to be honest. Well, actually, it fluctuated between being absolutely freaking fantastic and being the worst nightmare I have ever lived. Fun, right?
So first here is my list of goals I had for the summer, and what I ended up doing with them! Enjoy!
Upload all of My British Bear to Scribophile and edit it (do that many Scribophile critiques)
NOPE
So, I can assure you that did not happen because I went straight to BETA READERS AND EDITING AND PUBLISHING-OH MY! Heck, I haven’t even been on Scribophile for the entirety of the summer.
Self publish My British Bear
Ehhhh, kinda
I only say kinda because *sigh* it’s still not out and I promised for it to be out yesterday. But I don’t know my tax information and my dad hasn’t been home for five minutes to tell me all of it!! So it’s, like, a 98% completed goal. Should be out this week though. Fingers crossed.
Finish CoSaB or Finding Jackson
*snorts*
No. That’s an even bigger no than Scribophile. I opened Finding Jackson once and scribbled a filler sentence on a blank sheet of notebook paper because I wanted to write on it, and I only wrote, like, one chapter of The Chronicles of Salt and Blood. I have no clue why I thought I could possibly finish CoSaB when there is soooo much to go into it, and Finding Jackson has just hit this giant wall. I dunno where all the potential and story line went, but it certainly isn’t there. I’ll finish it eventually, it’s close to being done, I just can’t do it right now. Also, all the characters being based off of ex-friends isn’t probably making my life any easier…
Apply for 8 scholarships
???
To be perfectly honest I don’t even know if I did or not.
French/AP History/Biology Summer Work
YES!!
I better have, heavens above. I can’t even tell you how many hours I spent on that history work. French was so easy, Biology was a little harder but still easy, and then AP was like *slaps* PAPER! *slaps* 8 PACKETS! *slaps* 80 READING PAGES* I’M NOT EVEN KIDDING IT WAS LIKE TEN HOURS OF WORK FOR A GRADE ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL SO YEAH IT WAS DONE
Clean Abby’s Room
Nah, man
That was a long stretch anyways. Just kinda sad I didn’t get to see her tho…
Go to a Fair
Yeah!
We actually are going Monday! Maybe I’ll write about it!
Fish 5 Times
60%
I went fishing three times! All three times was with the best boyfriend ever, as he took me fishing, although one of the times I got impatigo and that sucked. But I caught a bunch of croppies (who have the nastiest teeth on the entire earth) and some sun fish and blue gills. It was fun. I love fishing. *glub*
Go Riding with Jay
NOT AT ALL
I never even got to see Jay! It peeved me off, because I wanted to see her so bad and go riding, but then we were both so busy we never got together. I’m still grumpy about it. Maybe we’ll go riding at Christmas and fall off a cantering horse again and take pretty pictures or something. Ugh. Peeved.
Hang Out Once With Grace
Yes
That happened because it was literally the last day of school. But no, it was freaking amazing! Her uncle came in his army truck, pulled right up to the school, picked Grace, Nevin (my boo), and I up, picked up her sister, Melody, from the middle school, and took us to go get ice cream at this awesome ice cream place. We played at the park and ate ice cream, then played at her house for forever, then I got snuggles and ate freaking biscuit and gravy chips and they played video games. I spent the night, watched White Girls, and then the next day we went to the mall. It was amazing.
Have a Bonfire
Nope
I went to one. Does that count? Sure. Maybe. IDK. The dude I was planning the bonfire with hardly even talks to me anymore so… yeah, that’s a thing. I went to a bonfire and played Apples-to-Apples and watched fireworks. It was fun, so I’m changing it to a grand
Sorta
Bible Study With Nev
No…
So, I saw Nev a lot over the summer. We went on a couple dates, went fishing, I just went over to his house a lot. We got a ton of quality time together over the summer, but we never ended up doing a Bible study, which is really depressing and should have been done. Maybe over call some time…
Finish RWBY
Nope
The only TV series I finished was Stranger Things, to be perfectly honest, which sucks. I wanted to finish RWBY and Star Wars; The Clone Wars, but that never really ended up happening. I recommend both RWBY and The Clone Wars, as well as Stranger Things, because they are all AMAZING shows.
Finish editing Shadow
Hehhhhhh
Remember the whole ‘I never got on Scribophile’ thing? Well, that sorta played into this. I didn’t even open Shadow, to be perfectly honest, because I think I want to rewrite it and make it ages longer. I never really wrote much over the summer, so this really did not happen.
Read Two Star Wars Books
Nupe
Yeaaaaahhhhhhh, not much reading happened over the summer. I bought a Star Wars comic (technically Nev bought it, it was for my birthday. Isn’t he such a sweet heart? <3) over the summer, and rented one Star Wars book, but the book had many before it in other series and I had no clue what the heck was going on, and I never bothered to get more because I is trash. So, yeah. Nupe.
Summer Reading Program
*sobs*
I am literally such a trash panda I didn’t even finish a single book and read only, like, 10 hours and I completely hate myself so please we won’t even talk about this.
Paint My Room
Yuppers!
Twas done. But now we’re moving. So there was literally no point.
Hang Up Shelves in Room
No
Never happened. And, again, moving. So it won’t until the next house.
Clean Room
Yeah
Apparently I didn’t believe I could clean my room in an entire summer, but low and behold it did actually get done. xD
Make a Halloween Outfit
YES!!!
Yes this happened!! I made a super awesome pirate outfit (pants are still iffy but I’ll work with it) and it looks amazing. I can’t wait to wear it! I’m still looking for rigid collodion to make some scars up, and it’ll be a ton of makeup, and I might sew some extra stuff for it, but what I had was awesome. (Now I just gotta make Nev one…)
Go Walking and Taking Pictures at Silver Park
Nah
Remember the people who are not really friends anymore and will hardly talk to us anymore? Yeah, we were gonna go do that with them, but never ended up happening. Whatever though.
And there was this pretty little graphic…
Did not happen. I didn’t get a job and I didn’t babysit. I earned a whopping total of ten dollars this summer, which I spent entirely on Wish.com. So, yeah, heh.
What I Did Do With The Summer, Though
I took some pretty stellar photos. I went to marching band camp and became an official member of the color guard and band family. I sewed a really nice dress and started a second one. I pretty much completed self publishing a book, I had a blog tour, I completely packed and mostly cleaned my room to move, I lost and got back my daddy, fell more in love with Jesus, and went swimming once.
It was a pretty great summer I must say.
