In July and August 2006, fourteen talented teenagers came together to study the craft of essay writing at a "nerd camp" in upstate New York. This is our blog. Bow.

Merry Christmas/Happy Gift Day!!

Merry Christmas, guys! And/or Happy Gift Day, which is a less well-known name for the same thing except without the religious overtones. Yeah, you guys are right, this has not been a very well-maintained blog.

Well, let's see if we can change that. Ummm.... my life has not been all that busy in recent days, because I've been being extremely lazy and lounging about for vacation. Umm... I'm getting a new desk for Christmas! (it hasn't come yet) so now I won't have to sit on the ground anymore, which will be nice. And I got Stephen Colbert's "I am America (And so Can You!)" for Christmas, which is awesome. As well as a large sum of money in gift cards to Barnes and Noble/Borders, which I shall be using to go crazy very soon and get massive amounts of books. Yay!

Ummm.... well, that's about all. Enjoying vacation, being lazy, it's quite enjoyable. I am not looking forward to going back to school, cause that means I have to do work again. I don't even want to think about it.

So, what's been up with all you quiet people out there?

loooving christmas break

hey guys...man, we've really been lagging with keeping this blog going...although i haven't done much to add to it, so i probably shouldn't be talking haha.

yea, so as you can tell by the title, i am sooo glad that it's break. my schedule probably isn't as crazy as yours miranda, but it's pretty nuts all the same. :) sophmore year is no joke compared to freshman when it comes to homework, and with band, swimming, and soccer all going on at the same time, i'm finding only a little bit of time to shower and get some much needed sleep.

sooo yea, it's christmas eve!!! i'm pretty excited for tomorrow!!! haha but who isn't right? unless you're jewish or some other religion. one of my friends is, so i actually went christmas shopping pretty early this year in order to get her hannukah present in on time...that's probably like the one time in my life that i haven't procrastinated my christmas shopping. it feels pretty good haha.

i'm also pretty excited because i think we're going back to puerto rico in february to visit family. we haven't been to pr in a couple of years, and i'm missing everybody!!! we were going to go in january for three kings day, which is pretty much just as big as christmas over there, but we didn't want to have to take the week that we get back from brake off of school. sooo the trip's been moved back to february.

well that's about it from my end...

Well...

In my attempt to keep this blog alive i guess i'll just post again :P

I've been pretty good, it's winter break so I'm just hanging at home with my family and going to friends houses. We got this gigantic tree at my dad's house and this year because he moved we had to get a shorter tree so we went wide instead and it almost didn't fit through the door. Our car must've looked so funny because the tree couldn't fit through the things they use to wrap it up so we literally had this humongo tree strapped to the roof of our little car :P

Besides that hmm.... my life has really been pretty boring hahaha,m i've been palying spider solitare a lot (with two suits, oh yea) but i like never win hahahaha so anyway, yea. that's my life.... so very interesting i know.

Wow

Well, this is slightly depressing. Although I do realize I'm not really helping much. College is... intense. I mean, I've actually been doing pretty well because I took a pretty easy semester what with intro classes and the like. But now I'm on winter break so I'll try to actually post, maybe we'll actually have posts in december seeing as we tooootally skipped over november and basically september. But hey, it has been a while since we've seen each other.

Which actually, I think we should fix. I mean, we've all mostly kept in touch and it's been over a year now so we should totally get together sometime. I've already gotten together with people from this CTY so... yea.

Ummmm, my life really hasn't been that interesting besides school. I'm working on two new books seeing that people have actually been buying my other one and they're fun to write :P

I got my christmas tree today at my mom's house and I actually gotta go decorate it, but I'll try to write more now that I'm on break!!!
