Woke up incredibly early so that I could get to school and drop my textbook off before everybody else and their mothers flooded the library. Barely managed to get to school right as the library door opened, so I was one of the lucky few to take less than five minutes to put away my only textbook.
The other 150+ people waiting in a line inside the library? Not so lucky.
The rest of the school day was pretty okay. Took my Biology final, which didn't really matter since I had over 100% in that class. Also managed to figure out Dr. Steinbach's wood cube puzzle thing that he gave us before the test started. I think he was pretty impressed by me because he said that it was the first time anyone's ever solved it besides him.

Got a package of bagels from Angela, the best present I've ever gotten from her. I was about to thank her for her generosity, but then she selfishly took them back and gave me an already-opened bag of lesser-quality bagels.
What a punk.
Then, French. The last period of the day. Gave my less-than-awesome presentation, along with three other people. Then came the mandatory after-presentation potluck. I made poutine for the class, which is basically french fries, gravy, and cheese. It was quite delicious and it disappeared in roughly 15 minutes, which was surprising.

Saved a bit of poutine for Angela because she's been wanting to try some for a long, LONG time (she said that she had put it in her bucket list). But when I gave it to her when school ended, SHE EFFING THREW IT AWAY.
Remind me to never give anything food related to the ungrateful Angela.

Practically SPRINTED out of school. Well, it was more of a meander than a sprint, but you get my point. I wanted to leave. BADLY.
Went with Ivan, Khai, Seth, and Daniel to Boba, bought me a mango smoothie which was delicious. Then, went to the neighboring Target to, as you younglings call it, "stir some shit." We saw a group of middle schoolers in the toy aisle. When one of them cracked a joke, they all laughed, but one kid caught my eye in particular.
Why? Because as he laughed, he did a mini squat down and picked his wedgie in one fluid, seamless motion. It was elegant, almost with the grace of a dancer. So fast, so smooth, like a magician with incredible sleight of hand. Nobody in his little group seemed to notice.
But his back was turned to me. Which means I noticed.
But don't worry, kid. If you're reading this right now, your secret's safe with me.
Actually... come to think about it, there were a lot of middle schoolers at Target. Jesus, there were... there were hordes of them everywhere! In every aisle, outside the store, and I'm pretty sure I heard a few in the ventilation shafts. It was ridiculously middle-school dense.
After that, we walked home and talked about surprisingly deep, scientific topics. Topics such as the conscious implications of teleportation, why twins don't share the same consciousness, and how ridiculous the Xbox One is.
We also half-explored some canyons, one in particular looked extra horrifying, so we stopped, in fear of a rabid wolfman coming out of the bushes and mauling us to death. Or getting raped. But if anyone was desperate enough to try and rape us, then they would actually deserve my pity.
Oh, and Ivan modeled next to a few shopping carts too.

We're a strange bunch, I know.

Found a GIGANTIC daddy longlegs spider in my bathroom, perched atop the roll of toilet paper attached to the holder on my wall. It's no exaggeration, it was MASSIVE. Two inches in diameter. If you connected two if its opposite legs together and stretched them out just a little, they would be the size of my thumb.
It was disgusting. Even worse was the sickening crunching sound it made when I crushed it with a paper towel. It's like taking six of the crunchiest leaves that ever existed and slowly crumpling them in your hands all together.
I swept up its corpse and flushed it down the toilet. Unused, of course, because even though they're my mortal enemies, they deserve respect in death.
The Michael-Spider Neutrality Treaty had been broken. And the Summer War starts once more.

Woke up from a two hour nap, then quickly (and unfortunately, sloppily) finished my weekly story. Pretty disappointed in how it turned out, but I'll fix it, promise.
Christina's been harassing me to get on Skype for the past few hours, so I'll end today's entry with me playing Minecraft until way, way past dark.
Not a bad first day, don't you think?

Okay, I lied, one more thing I forgot about. I got a letter from New York University advertising me to go to their school, which is pretty insane since their film school's one of the highest ranked in the world.
It's a shame their tuition's so ridiculously high. But whatever. The fact that I've impressed them enough for them to send me a letter is enough for me.
Random Fact of the Day (RFotD): Humans grow faster at night than they do during the day because a small part of the brain, the pituitary gland, releases a growth hormone at night while a person sleeps.
Summer Goals Accomplished Today: None yet.
