our last summer
I always tend to put up monthly layouts a week early.
This one isn’t as bright and colorful as the others—it’s more calm and peaceful. I finally made the font size bigger, too. While making this layout, I re-organized the site. The portfolio and resources page look so much neater, and I put the tutorials under Resources. I also added in some CSS3. I’m still new to it, but the text-shadow property looks so pretty.
I’m finishing up my summer homework. I need to re-read Old World Encounters because it’s so boring that I can’t remember most of what it talked about. I just know the very general subject: how cross-cultural encounters impacted society in pre-modern times… Now I have to go back and highlight passages because I didn’t pay attention much. I didn’t expect it to be so immensely boring. I mean, I read A History of the World in 6 Glasses (for the same class), and it wasn’t boring at all. After reading the first chapter of OWE, I want to kill the book. I also need to read The Great Gatsby for Language Arts. And maybe definitely go on Spark Notes afterwards. I have tests on these two books on the first days of school, dammit. At least I finished those double-entry journals, article summaries, and movie reviews. When do my teachers even get the time to grade all of this?
Two weeks of summer left. I wish it would start over. It’s going by so fast.
Oh, and those of you who wanted pictures of the chicks that my friend got, here they are. I actually had to copy and paste the photos from my friend’s Facebook account. The second photo is Fran…who looks like a silhouette. xD
