Week: 50
Songs to Remember: Hot n Cold - Katy Perry

        I mistakenly thought yesterday was the start of week 50, also thought it was Monday sorta. That's what I get for doing posts really late at night (or past 12).

        So I think about the future a lot. Like, what's to come. I thought about, this upcoming school year (not just for the new series), how people are taking summer classes right now while I'm sitting in front of my PC, applying for colleges, my cousin's High School graduation next year, AP classes, and the SAT. I was like "F***. I'ma have to take the SAT soon".

        This has got to be, one of the worst, and one of the best, series/school year, for me. Not sure how college is gonna fare for me, but, hopefully better than Junior year. I know that by Senior year, I'm already gonna be applied to a college (hopefully) so I don't have to worry as much, just relax, and let the good times roll. Before college that is.

        In other news, Em contacted me today (well, Facebook messaged me) about what we talked about last time. We then sorta got into an impromptu interview about me and what I think of my crush (or, if I were to have one, whatever). It was for her story okay? She writes, uhhh, fan-fictions on certain anime. She gets a fair amount of reads on 'em, really.

        When she told me it was for a story about an all boys school, where a dude likes this other guy, but the guy turns out to be a girl. She asked stuff like "What makes you attracted to someone, are you jealous, do you get jealous easily, what I'd do if I was in that situation, etc". Basically she wants a guy's point of view on all this.

        I guess my answer choices were spot on because she's like, and I quote, "Are you single? Like wtf you are every girls dream guy XD lol wow, that's so sweet!! Awwww, okay continuing, if there is another guy into the person you like, what do you do to get your crushes attention?" or "You are a friendly approachable person!! c: like Jfc this world needs more people like you! I'm not even joking." Everyone needs a cool person in their life like Em. Fun fact, I still don't know what JFC means. John F. Cennedy? (slash sarcasm. But really, what does JFC mean?).

        Skyped with my cousin, did not play Terraria today or League surprisingly, I wanted to read that book today, "The Joy Luck CLub". *sigh*, but looking at how many pages, the plot, I was like "Ummm, I'll get started on the poster first, then I'll read in the meantime". And uh, I got a good chunk of the poster done, by that, I mean around 30%. Still need the quotes and pictures, but I'm sure those will be easy to do. I'm just worried about the whole design/concept of my poster, after seeing someone else's online.

        It was posted on deviantart, by a guy who I presume to have attended Honors English at my school. Because the assignment and poster were the exact same expectations. He's also presumably (presumably a guy) 19, so, fairly recent graduated from my school. His poster was hand-drawn, a lot of white space, not the best I've seen, but, there's clearly effort. I just wanted to do something involving digital so I can put on the poster. So, I decided to create a template with patterns, print it out, cut it out, glue it on the poster, make border lines with black construction paper (as it's the only color I have), then go off from there.

        And uh yeah. Gotta say, one of my most productive days this summer so far. I'll leave a picture of the poster in progress below. See you tomorrow.

The gold trim accidentally worked great to represent riches. The scroll making and printing took about 50% of the time, the other 50% was spent cutting and measuring/trial and error the black construction paper.
