My royal subjects...
I have not been able to muster up the time to post in the last week. I haven't touched my computer for 4 days. FOUR DAYS. Do you understand that? That is a record for Joanna Chiang. BUT I extend my apologies upon you all. I hope you forgive me. But, if you do not, I have a surefast way to get you to forgive me and this is by telling you about my jampacked week and the festivities that filled it.

Well one issue is that I had a LARGELARGELARGE Geometry project due on Thursday. This was a Tesselation Project and I had to draw a scene/picture on a standard sized posterboard. I chose a sun and sky. This does not sound like a big deal, does it? WELL, I had to tesselate 9 different sections meaning I had to make 9 different sections of the sun and tesselate them with different shapes and patterns in EACH SECTION and I had to meet the requirements of Ms. G to the Reco. And this woman has high expectations! And, I had to color each individual shape in COLORED PENCIL. Do you understand how LONG this takes? Tesselating it itself takes approximately 8 hours straight. Now, I did this over the length of 3 days. Then the last day, the day before it was due, I hadn't started coloring. The coloring itself took I am not kidding, 9 hours. I got home that day at 3:15. I stayed up coloring with my Madre until 12:00. RIDICULOUS? I THINK YES.

On top of that, half of my Anne Frank essay was due that same day. That took me another hour.
AND I had Track. AND zero period.

So I'm sure I have convinced you to sympathize with me.
I will make it up to you. I shall post like a posting machine that has 854 horsepower. Okay.
