Wow, what a last couple of weeks. (stops and catches breath) I guess I just wasn't as ready for school as I thought I was, and it was pretty hard to get caught up. Last Sunday I was still pouring over my hw at 11 in the morning. This Sunday I'm happy to report that I finished my hw yesterday at about 5:30 in the afternoon.

That's the good news.

Unfortunately, I have some really bad news too (in my opinion, at least). Taylor's talking about dropping out of school. I'm doing everything I can to try to talk him out of it, but he's not listening. He stayed home sick everyday last week so he could wake and bake and screw around. Now he says that he doesn't think he wants to go back because it's too hard. I just wish his mom and dad would put a boot in his ass and MAKE him go to school. I don't care how big he is. He drives a friggen Q45 and gets everything he wants. They can sell his car or something.

I know he'd be pissed if he read this, but I don't care. He says stuff all the time about wanting to be a cook. If he drops out of school, he'll can be a cook alright: at McDonalds. So anyway, I've been telling all of our friends to be on his case and my dad and stepmom are going to get on his case too, but they said NOT to try to talk to his mom and dad because they know what's best for him. It just tears me up because he's my best friend and I don't want him to do something stupid that's gonna ruin his life.

That's the drama

Ok, so now I have some story updating to do. I'm still not sure about the anthology. I have plans to write a story, but I don't want to neglect the stuff I'm already working on, so I won't promise a story. What I will say, though, is that I definitely have an idea for a story, and if it doesn't go in the anthology, it'll still go up on my site.

Also, in case you didn't see it in the sneak peak section of the forum, I'm working on a new chapter story called If By Chance. I sent chapter one off to Talonrider already, but I don't have beta readers for this one. Journey Back To The Yellow House is on hold indefinitely until I can make a better plan for how I want that story to turn out. In the meanwhile, I posted chapter 5 of What's The Difference Between Me and You, Book II. So yeah, not much going on right now but it's gonna pick up again. I just need to let things calm down around me for a couple more weeks.
