Chapter One

Title taken from a song by Lifehouse of the same name. Kind of a soothing song, because I'm trying to make myself sleepy. I must say... it's not really working out that well.

First day of summer vacation today. I'm so relieved to be done with exams and AP U.S. History. I celebrated the end of the school year with a long nap. Unfortunately, I woke up from said nap with a headache, sore throat, and runny nose. I effectively napped myself towards a cold. Yay, me! I hate it when my entire body aches. It feels like I was hit by a truck. :[ It probably didn't help that the first thing my mum made me do when I woke up was to start cleaning. Still, today was the first day I got to plop myself down in front of my computer, dig out my graphics tablet, and draw. The result of about an hour of me not knowing what the hell I was doing is to the right. There are about five different versions of the doodle, but I like the simplicity of this one. Inspired by the trailers for My Sister's Keeper. Looks like a good movie, despite the fact that I still haven't read the book.

Soon, I have to start working on summer homework assignments and, hopefully, start job hunting. The job hunting will most likely end in epic failure. Denis (sister) has a second interview tomorrow at a Chiropractor's office. I, myself, couldn't believe it. I was sure she'd come off as an awkward person. Apparently not.
