Hey everyone!

So here are the major events that have been going on - reasons of why I'm not on a lot lately.

1. The tennis semi-finals were last Saturday, so I ended up waking at 4AM and going to bed at 12AM. No sleep throughout the day. Sadly, my partner and I didn't win the match, but we did pretty good considering they were the top 3rd and 4th players from their school and we were the alternatives of our school. Very awesome match - loved playing it!

2. The ACE (stands for architecture, construction, and engineering) competition has been taking up the majority of my time. Our team was selected as one of the top three finalists in the nation so now we get to compete for it. I was chosen in our group as the presenter so I have to come up with a speech and practice like crazy. I won't have internet connection from the 25th to the 30th just for you all to know. Wish me luck!

3. Went to the anime convention over here, which was very awesome. I got to meet multiple voice actors (including my absolute favorite: Vic Mignogna) and I talked to his girlfriend for a while. She is incredibly nice and sweet. So the convention itself took up a bunch of hours, but it was fun. A few of the things I got to do while there was get my art critiqued and learn about the other styles of art.

4. Homework - who knew? The ACE and tennis take up literally hours of my time (usually around 5 hours) so I get very little time to finish up on homework. Thankfully, I'm still alive and kicking so that's alright.

So this coming May, I should be back online and able to post again! Look forward to it and I hope to talk to you all again soon!!
