A Week Away Now...

One week away from Spring Break - yes!!! I have good reasons to be excited: more time to write (like editing Sea of Benevolence), more time to sleep in, and more time to...study for SATs and SAT subject tests. How exciting. On the plus side, one of the two subject tests I'm taking is Literature, something I really love. The other is World History, which is pretty interesting too. I just have to make 100 flash cards, probably.

As usual, I'm excited on the JAL front: merchandise is finally available: a cap, band T-shirt, signed posters (yeah right, my parents are going to actually let me get one of those), signed folders (if I got one, I'd never use it because my folders tend to rip - if they're paper- or snap - if they're plastic), and a signed mug. That, I might actually be allowed to get. If not, I'll have to wait another eight months till my birthday before my parents let me make my own decisions) And of course, I can't let anyone else use it because it might break like the last mug I got - and nobody bothered to tell me it broke. 

And...finally, back to writing. I know I haven't blogged in a while - my fault, I'll admit it - but I've been doing a lot of writing, mostly revisions to The Peasant Princess. For once in my life, I'm actually satisfied with my own writing (I'm a perfectionist, I get it from my Dad, unfortunately), thanks to Lyuba Velcheva, assistant to Alyssa Henkin at Trident Media Group. Constructive criticism is always welcome, although it takes me a couple of minutes to absorb it in.
