Due to my recent lack of work ethic concerning my AP summer work, I will be taking a break from the computer.
Unfortunately, this blog has to suffer. I will not be posting anything until I have completed all of my summer reading and activity assignments. It is likely that I will not be able to post again until September.
I am very sorry to announce this, but seeing as I have almost nothing done and summer is already more than half over, I decided I needed a self-applied intervention.

As the days get warmer...
k... well, hotter. The sun beats down incessantly and I've been forbidden to touch the thermostat. So my way of coping is to become extremely lazy and lacking in my duties. Unfortunately, this blog has suffered as a result.
But last night started the first daily practice of marching band, and while that does mean I'll be leaving in about a week for band camp, it also means that my energy is up and I'm not feeling quite so tired and boorish.
So what have I been up to since returning from Blue Lake on the 12th? Well, in honour of the release of HBP, I've been on a Harry Potter binge. I've looked up numerous HP-related knitting patterns, began making some Luna Lovegood inspired jewelry, discovered that I belong in Slytherin house (yay me!), and found numerous recipes from the wizarding world.
I've no idea how long this will last, but I can guarantee it will, probably by the time school starts back up.
The whole thing really started before I left, but at the time my obsession was purely with Tom Felton, and his HP character Draco. Now you know why I was so excited to be in Slytherin!
Blast, it's time for me to leave for practice already! I suppose I'll have to finish up later then...
Okay, I'm back now. Let's see, where was I?
Oh yes! Well, I found a wonderful pattern for Pygmy Puffs, which I am in the process of making, as well as a delicious recipe for (non-alcoholic) mulled mead, which I modified a bit to be more of what I thought Butterbeer would taste like. The recipe I found for butterbeer seemed a bit to fizzy, and I didn't have all the ingredients.
Other than that, I've picked and dried the last of the lavender, weeded my garden, and well, that's pretty much it.
