INTERNET I MISSED YOU.

I mean, hi.
SO. I have a legitimate excuse for not updating for a million bajillion years. Me, your normally socially awkward and beloved Hopeless Romantic, has been busy.

...No, really! Me! Busy! HAVING A LIFE!

I know!!

Since Valentine's Day, I've been going over to Best Friend Rose's house every single weekend, and one of them I basically just stayed there the entire weekend. We had two--count em'--TWO Harry Potter marathon weekends in a row, and then after that we watched marathons of other things like Pretty Little Liars and Vampire Diaries (guilty). Eating junk food and stuff. Yes. Amazing basically.

And then during school weeks I've been basically working my ass off everyday so I can catch up, because I had this ridiculous bought of laziness for like a week a while back and I didn't feel like doing any of my school work. Thanks to my hard work, I'm all caught up, and I brought my grades back up, but I'm definitely never doing that again.

That's one downside of homeschool/online school, there's nobody leaning over your shoulder and forcing you to do your schoolwork and learn. You have to do it yourself. The motivation can run low some days, but in the end you just have to kick yourself in the back and get to work, whether you want to or not.

So anyway, with all of that lately, I've barely had time to relax, let alone get on the computer for leisure. (What's that? This Internet addict staying away from the Internet? Trust me. I could barely even stand to TOUCH Facebook and Twitter.)

BUT. It's finally my spring break, and I'm reveling in it. The moment I finished school Friday evening, I thought I was going to burst into tears from relief.

I finally get to do all that I couldn't for about a month and a half! I can read! I can write and revise for leisure! (Lol.) I can sleep in and watch my favorite Asian dramas! (It sounds weird, I know, but if you ever get curious, Watch Boys Before Flowers on Hulu. So AMAZING. Just. Do it.)

And the best part is, my birthday is tomorrow. I know. Already. Can you believe it? I can't. Internet. I'm going to be eighteen.

It's so weird, because I don't feel that old. Like, I don't feel like a legal adult. Hell, I don't even feel like a teenager, really. I never really have. So suddenly being branded as an 'adult' is going to be so weird.

I'll still be myself, no matter what age I am, it's just going to be weird knowing that I'm a legal adult. Ew. It's weird even typing it.

Being 17 was fun. I enjoyed it, and I grew a lot (figuratively, though. Still only 5'3 and a size 6 shoe, and probably will be forever. That's okay, though. Short is cool. People can pat you on the head and people at restaurants ask if you want a kids menu. Yeah. It's awesome.) I didn't have a boyfriend or even go on a date during my seventeenth year, and I am completely, 100% happy with it.

Here's to eighteen being even better! Say hello to your new 18 Year Old Hopeless Romantic. (Still weird to type.)
