Day of the Black Sun

Last night I climbed up onto a hill with an observatory to watch the solar eclipse.
We didn't have sunglasses or fancy shoebox contraptions so I just watched when clouds moved over the sun.

It wasn't a full eclipse so it technically wasn't the Day of the Black Sun, but it still looked like a moon.

 The entire time I felt like I should have been preparing my attack on the Fire Nation.

Also, how strange are these yellow raspberries? I ate a lot of them because I'm addicted to eating berries but they're much more bland than regular raspberries.

Since AP tests are over I am going to have a serious charm making day tomorrow! It's been awhile since I've made any charms, but here is what I've been up to in the past year and a half I was away from the blogging community.

My Life is Back!

AP tests are over!
All my preparation and hard work for the past eight months have finally paid off!
I'm done spending my weekends writing outlines, taking tests, quizzes, and essays, and drinking cups of Tension Tamer tea!

I finished my tests on Thursday. I took AP Lang and Comp on Wednesday morning and AP World History on Thursday morning. I'm not feeling very confident about how I did, but now I'm finally free. Taking these classes were the reason I haven't been able to craft very much or start blogging again.

Audrey cramming the day before

I actually planned on writing this post right after I turned in my AP World test on Thursday but I decided to spend my extended lunch period (we finished at 12 and lunch is at 12:20something) with Audrey in the library looking at comic books and things with interesting covers. I spent my weekend in bed. It was wonderful.

Audrey and I have English together after lunch, which we spent sticking our AP barcodes on our friend Joseph's back.

We had a decompression day in history in which we watched It's Kind of a Funny Story and 50 First Dates. It's Kind of a Funny Story I really loved, but I didn't appreciate Craig's school friends at all and I didn't like Emma Robert's character very much until the end.

sorry it's upside down. i guess that happens when i upload things from my phone.

My friend Sarah showed up to class with a bag of fried chicken, so we also had a fried chicken party.
No pictures of me here except my hand down there hehe

Flowers on my head

Today I had a creative day for the first time in a very long while!
This is the first weekend where I haven't been doing homework for most of the day. Although I do have to study for my AP tests and write a rhetorical analysis essay on Kim Wilde's Kids in America, I'm feeling considerably less stressed today.

I made hair clips today.

Audrey and I found some flower wreathes at Daiso. I used jewelry glue to glue the individual flowers to bobbie pins.

I also made myself a trashbow. This is the first one I've made since middle school. I'm really proud of myself!

I'm wearing the flowers tonight to a My Little Pony art exhibit in LA with Audrey and our brony friend Terry~
