I apologize for my lack of posting in the past several months, but life gets crazy. And when life starts slowing down, sleep deprivation, stress, and all those other fun things catch up. I currently have a dozen drafts for posts that I never finished, and at least five of them will soon be finished and published. Plus I have plans for a few more. However, now that I have a smidgen of time to myself, I lack the energy necessary to care. I think I pulled my final three-hours-of-sleep night for this school year this week, and I only have one paper, a few tests, a few ceremonies, and exams to live through. I also have my birthday to get through. I'm not really all that fond of my birthday. I'll probably explain that a little more when it comes in eleven days.
If I were to start posting now, I would have to pass everything that I wrote through examination to help cut down on the evidence that I now think in biology and French with a hint of physics and english. This paragraph doesn't flow here, and that upsets me. I added it in retrospect, and there's no smooth way to work it into the previous paragraph.
Today, I am literally burned, but by the sun rather than by stress and fatigue. I spent the day at Kings Island (or is it King's/Kings' Island?) for math and science day. My school took three buses of seventh and eighth graders, a high school math intervention class, and ten of the twelve out of over forty students who have managed to keep straight A's in honors precalculus. The people with my class ended up splitting into two groups: all but one of the guys, and the two girls and the other guy. It was fun. Tim, Sara, and I rode The Beast, Vortex, Flight of Fear, The Son of Beast, Top Gun (or rather Flight Deck, as it is now called), and Shake Rattle and Roll or something like that (that one isn't a roller coaster). Vortex remains my favorite roller coaster but the others were good as well. I really love going upside down. We wanted to ride Firehawk and Faceoff, but the lines were too long. If I ever go there again, I will make a point of riding those two. Then I will have ridden all the roller coasters at Kings/King's/Kings' Island.

It is King's Island, named for the once almighty King family. If I am wrong, then the park's punctuation is bad. The King family owned the mill of Kings Mills, Ohio. One tends to know these things when one lives within a mile of the park and went to school in view of its structures. Check out the Google Maps and you will see a sad little road leading out the back of the park where I live.
It is King's Island. It's just one of those things that I know. The last time I went to King's Island was for the Math and Science Day in 8th grade...
I was invited in eighth grade, but I was in South Carolina instead. The last time I went there at all(before Friday, obviously) was for Math and Science Day in seventh grade. I remember seeing Katie Siragusa there.
