Hello, girls! Today is Tuesday.
Today was the last day of school for me. Hurray! I took my last two finals, and now I am free for two and a half months. It doesn't feel like school should be out, but it's not like I'm complaining. Good riddance. I've been ready for this day for months.
After school, I celebrated my freedom by watching A Goofy Movie. It's a good summer movie. :3
I actually have a busy summer for once in my life. On Saturday, my best friend who moved to Minneapolis last June is flying to Portland and staying with me for a month. The next Saturday, we have a party to go to. From July 5 to 9th, we'll be at a summer camp. Then, I'm going to my older sister's baby shower. On July 14th, I'll be seeing Harry Potter at midnight!~ In August, my other older sister is getting married, so I'll be going to South Carolina and some other places in the south-eastern US for a week or two. Then, we'll be celebrating my dad's fiftieth birthday. Summer ends with a new baby nephew (Vincent!) due on September 4th, and then it's back to school.
And that's not including all of the other odd things in between. For example, I'll be dying my hair for the first time within a few weeks. Ack! Busy, busy.
What is everyone else doing this summer? o:
Welp, my family is going out to dinner to celebrate the end of the year, so I better sashay off. Have a nice week!~

Hello!
Hey girls, it's Monday!
I nearly forgot it was Monday, actually. School has been pretty crazy, but it's beginning to wind down now. Finally. It's not like Friday is our last day or anything. Anyway.
I'm really excited, because next week I'm going to Canada with my French class. It makes me sad knowing that I'll be in the same country as Bridget and Sanja, but still not actually any closer than I am currently. Because I'm going to Quebec and yeah.
I'm not sure what else to say, so here's the first of a series of videos that I've been obsessed with as of late. (I have a problem. I actually enjoy watching Hank play video games more than I enjoy playing them myself.)
Annica, I'll read you tomorrow!

NO TETRIS FOR YOU!
I was about to start up yet another game of tetris when I realized, "Hey! It's Thursday!"
So hello there! Alas, I too have end-of-year-itis. My specific branch of this disease involves procrastinating on every assignment (more than usual that is), leaving bits of homework for the morning before school, and constantly daydreaming during class. This happens to some extent every year, but this year, it's gotten to a maximum as not only am I graduating in 2 weeks but because of my Advanced Placement (AP) courses, I now have a bajillion spare blocks! So I'm constantly in a lazy phase these days.
However! I am very proud to have started going to the gym amid this laziness! I am mega out of shape and have gained a little chub over the past few months during which I had major exams and basketball season ended, so I decided to start working out. It's a weird feeling because I hurt so much but I love it even more :D
Just knowing that this pain means I'm getting more toned paired with the extra bits of energy I have makes me super super happy!
Hmmm. Is there anything else worth mentioning? Well, I have a 6 to 10 page paper on Mao's China due on Monday which I have not started yet. That should be fun. And commencement (when we all trot along in grad gowns to accept our diplomas) is next weekend. And Grad Banquet is the weekend after. And that all makes me extremely happy.
So, what have we determined? Sanja is lazy, is finally exercising, and is very happy. Sounds good enough for me, so without further blabber, I wish you a great week and good luck on any final exams you girls might have in the next couple of weeks. And ummm...yeah. Bridget, I'll hopefully read you tomorrow :)
Current Mood Song: Best Spot in the Lot (Nice Peter)
Currently Reading (well, re-reading): Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Today is awesome because: I did well on both my tests and had a great workout :D

Annica talks briefly about school.
Hello, it's Tuesday!~
It's been a very busy two weeks here on Nerdily Ever After. And by busy, I mean that Jess is the only one who posted in ten days. Thank you, Jess. You're lovely.
How are y'all?
The school year should be wrapping up for all of us, so how about we make that our theme this week.
I think that I'm getting what I like to call end-of-the-year-itis. Basically, I don't want to do anything in my classes anymore. Homework? Pff. No.
Today, I had a presentation in my health class. We're doing our presentations in order of class rank, so I was first. I did okay, I think. My teacher wasn't clear at all on what to do, so I made a few mistakes, but that's alright.
This school year has been okay. It hasn't been my favourite, but I've grown a lot. It's been...interesting. Next year will be better.
Anyway, tell me about your school!~

NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL BRIDGET'S MUSIC: Top 25!
^ Anyone remember these CD's? Anywhoozle, sorry about my absence recently, but let's jump right in! Like Sanja, I have no idea what is going to come up on here because I usually just listen to my iPod!
HERE WE GO!
1. Disorganized Fun - Ronald Jenkees
Not surprised this is #1. Ronald Jenkees is pure legend. As is this song!
2. In One Ear - Cage the Elephant
This has such a great bass line and beat, it's a really rocker.
3. Send Me On My Way - Rusted Root
I love this song because: 1. The natural feel to it 2. It's "our" (Jordan and I) song.
4. Sleepyhead - Passion Pit
Classic.
5. Phamous - Midi Mafia
Maybe it's Shay Carl that made me love this song, or the fact that it's so fun to dance to, but it's great!

COME ON COME OOOON, I KEEP RUNNING TILL I BURN OUT THE SUN SUUUUN~

11. Ever So Slightly - The Title
Another completely electro song, but really catchy chorus.
12. Here It Goes Again - OK GO
CLAAAAASSIC.
13. 00 Gringo - Urban Delights
This was my jam for the longest time, still kind of is. I love the grudge feel.

Imogen Heap is both a lyrical and melodic genius.
15. Hey, Soul Sister - Train
WHAT? NON INDIE MUSIC? Yes, this is mainstream. Still good though!
17. Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO
I hope to see them, they are supposedly coming to my town. That would be such a jam!

This is such a great song. Listen to the lyrics! SO funny.

Current jam. The beat is delicious.
20. Electric Feel - MGMT

A trip down memory lane - music style
Hey there everyone! I'm coming at you at mid-day today; isn't that odd? Well, I've got a spare so I figured I may as well get my post up sooner than later :)
So, while my iTunes takes its sweet time to open, I think it's worth mentioning that I have no idea what is going to come up on here because I usually just listen to iTunes on shuffle and honestly, I rarely do listen to it at all. It's always on the iPod!
Alright, well it looks like it's about ready so let's get this started :D
1.Grace Kelly (Mika)
Hmm. Didn't expect this to be first. I honestly didn't think I listened to it that much...this should be interesting..
2. Papa Don't Preach (Glee Version)
LOL. OH GLEE!! I did enjoy this song from Season 1 and quite frankly I enjoy many of the Glee covers. I mean, they even managed to make Rebecca Black's song sound alright
3. Watch This Space (Britannia High TV Cast)
Oh yeah, so last year I got really into this British TV show called Britannia High. It was pretty much like Glee except a lot happier and cheesier and starred Mitch Hewer as one of the main guys which is what initially got me interested because I just loved him in skins ( <3 Maxxie)
4. Wake Up (Britannia High TV Cast)
Another Britannia High song and probably my favourite. Or at least it's got my fav quote: "Take a breath like the world is out of oxygen and use it just to laugh"
5. Proud (Britannia High TV Cast)
Oh my, now I'm thinking that this top 25 is more accurate of myself a year ago when I was obsessing over this show. I love the songs, but I don't think I've listened to them that much in the last while
6. YES (LMFAO)
LOL. This song just amuses me so much :)
7. Hard (Rihanna ft. Young Jeezy)
Wouldn't have thought that this made the list, although it is a cool song
8. Chain (Back-On)
Also known as the theme song for the anime Air Gear. I got really into this anime and manga a while ago and they have an awesome song
9. Tik Tok (Ke$ha)
HAHA! Kesha. Truth be told, I do enjoy her music. It gets me pumped :D
10. Ravers Fantasy (Tune Up)
This is an all techno/electronic song and I really like it
11. Your Man (Down With Webster)
My fav line from this song: She's as hard as AC/DC, she gets my thunder struck :P
12. Give Him Up (Faber Drive)
It's an alright song. I don't think it's amazing. I honestly don't know how it made the list
13. Defying Gravity (Glee Cast Version)
This song is good on its own but I really enjoyed how they did it on Glee
14. Waking Up in Vegas (Katy Perry)
's cool. Don't know what else to say. Didn't think it was a top 25 but whatevs
15. Body to Body (Britannia High TV Cast)
LOVE THIS SONG! It's another Britannia High one but yeah, it's just AWESOME
16. Jam (Michael Jackson)
I am a huge Michael Jackson fan. I think his music is just so amazing no matter what anyone says about his personal life
17. They Don't Really Care About Us (Michael Jackson)
Another Mike Jackson favourite <3
18. Anonimna (Slobodan Vasic)
Oh yeah. So, I'm Serbian if ya didn't know. And this is one of my favourite Serbian songs :P
19. The Con (Tegan and Sara)
I used to listen to Tegan and Sara A LOT! But now, it's sorta faded out of my life. Except for their newish song "I Feel it in my Bones"
20. Jump (Van Halen)
This song makes me happy :D
21. Grease is the Word (The Bee Gees)
I LOVE Grease. It is one of my favourite movies and John Travolta is so awesome in it!
22. Shipwrecked (Chameleon Circuit)
YAY CHAMELEON CIRCUIT! I'm surprised that more of these songs aren't on here because I honestly don't listen to this one that much. I really like Count the Shadows, Blink, and An Awful Lot of Running the most
23. True Colours (Glee Cast Version)
I really really like this song. Again, I love Glee and I thought they performed it well
24. Like a Virgin (Glee Cast Version)
HA! This song makes me laugh and I really like it
25. D.A.N.C.E. (Justice)
Ohhhh, that's a classic. I don't think you can have a partay without this song :D
LOL, so this was a funny experience because as I predicted, these songs don't really reflect what I listen to now. These would be the playlist of my former grade 11 January of 2010 self, who was obsessed with Britannia High and Glee. Don't get me wrong, I still love all these songs but since last year, I've downloaded more music by Alex Day, ALL CAPS, MoM, Charlie McDonnell, Nice Peter, and Starkid which definitely would have made the list if I had actually played 'em on iTunes :P
But chyeah, that was that! Read ya tomorrow, Bridget :)
