I finally got my new phone and I am figuring it out. I added my music and I'm getting new ringtones. I am also finding a lot of new useful apps as well. Even tho I am still really busy with work and everything, there are some fun and exciting things happening in my summer. At the end of this month I am going to a concert with my dad, it is called "under the sun" tour and it has blues travelers, smash mouth, sugar ray, and uncle kracker playing. I am so excited. My dad also bought us really good seats so I will be close to the stage. Another fun thing that is happening is that there is a comic con coming up and the costume I am making so far looks really good. I just finished making the top and it looks really professional. So that is very exciting as well, maybe I will win a prize for it. I am dressing as an Orion slave girl from star trek, and I am modeling the costume from the orions from Enterprise, not the original series. As for my riddler costume, I just got the spray paint i needed to make the question marks, now I just need to create a stencil and that will be one step closer to getting that done.

I haven't had the time for much reading. On my days off I am at the food pantry helping my grandparents stock and build shelves for the new food pantry they have. When I am not doing that I am working. Or sleeping. I am never getting enough sleep. I am always tired.

I just finished reading Ch 11 of The Fellowship of the Ring. It was good. Similar to the movie. It was where Frodo ended up getting stabbed in his left shoulder. I liked the books version better, the fire that attracted the wraiths wasn't an accident, it was their defense. The wraiths feared the fire because it is also the weapon of Sauron. I thought that was cool. I also liked reading about Frodo's struggle with the ring, it was way better than watching him just slip it on in the movie.
I am still working at Sonic. I am trying to get out of the morning shift tho. And I'm not sleeping much anymore. Belly dancing class was super fun, wish I had more classes a week but that isn't happening. I finially got to a yoga class yesterday, it was my first class since I have started work. I needed it. It didn't help me get to sleep though. I hope to do another class Friday.
I am also waiting for my new phone to come in. Very stressful. Like this blog.
What else... Oh, yes, I have almost finished my cosplay. I am going to stencil in the details of the costume, then I need to paint the hat and the shoes. Then it is done. Then I start the next cosplay.

I just want to say that this years summer homework is degrading. 
I am not at the same level as an eighth grader, so I should have more meaningful summer work. 
I am not at the same level as an 12th grade English regular student. 
Therefor, I should have more meaningful summer homework.

Read for two hours and one blog post a week.
You could have asked a monkey to do this instead of wasting what little summer I have.

If you are going to give summer homework, then give me something appropriate to my level of English. 
Don't group all the grades together. IB English kids are not the only ones who deserve something meaningful.

I guess I didn't catch you up on my book. Like I said in my first post I am reading The Fellowship of The Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien. I am reading two hours a week because I am a slow reader and want to finish this book so I can start the next in the trilogy. I have read to Ch 11. I have met Strider, A.K.A Aragorn.

Since I saw the movie first, I am constantly comparing the movie to the book. It is a pet-peeve of mine when movie ignore the story line of a book. I am proud of the movies for doing such a good job at staying with the book. Though I wish I got to see Lady Goldberry and Tom Bombadil. Those two characters were awesome.

And right now I am grumpy with my computer for not accepting any of these names as correct spelling. Just accept it in your dictionary already.

Lastly, an update on my summer. I am still working at Sonic. I have not yet successfully had a yoga class that fits into my schedule, so I have had to do yoga on my own time. I have today and the 4^th of July off, thank you very much. Hopefully I will finish sowing my costume then, if I wake up early enough.  Dance starts on Monday. I lost my phone and am going to spend my first paycheck on replacing it. I dyed my hair red.33

I am still very angry at this blog. I have my own actual blog to take care of. A blog I want to make into something. I don’t Like that I had to create a new blog as a summer assignment. This is just busy work. Like my summer isn’t already filled up with enough things, you thought I needed an extra, time-consuming thing.

Well here, let me let you in on a secret. No one needs busy work. Ever.  Just like during the school year when I already have other homework to do, I don’t need your busy work then and I don’t need the busy work now. 

This whole zen I am trying to keep, gets completely ruined every time I have to write a blog post. It isn't fun.
