(Aka, I don't know what to title things sometimes)
I should be working on my book report right now, but I felt like writing a blog post, so that's what I'm doing. I was going to make a blog post tomorrow after I presented my book report, but meh.
Reread (most) of The Way of Kings. It was better the second time through, probably. It might have helped that I skipped some of the less important, more boring parts. I wanted to reread both books before Oathbringer comes out. Gave myself roughly two months to read the 2000 pages, so I figured I should skip some parts to make sure I finished on time. I didn't expect to have the urge to just keep reading. I ignored my homework for a weekend and a few days and basically just read most of the time. Finished way quicker than I had planned for. I'm actually forcing myself to wait a little while for my schedule to clear up before I start the 2nd book. It's incredibly difficult. I'll probably start tonight after I'm happy with my book report.
Birthday's coming up on the 10th. Don't really have anything planned, I'll probably just hang out with friends. Nothing too fancy. Turning 17, which I think is a good age because it's not like people are like "you're an adult", and with 16 they're like "Aw, so young". It's the nice sweet spot.
General Conference this weekend! I'm excited.
Tennis season is wrapping up. We just played our last official season game today. We have team regionals next week, and individuals the week after. We're going in as the number 3 seed, so we're facing South Tahoe. Last time we faced them we did well and the score was 7-11. There were two or three other close matches as well. We just have to play just as well, and win a couple more of those close calls. Plus Sam should be able to play (even though he hasn't yet, which is super annoying (now that I think about it there may or may not be a rule about having to participate during the season to play in team regionals, so maybe he won't be able to, which would really suck, so let's not think about that)), so hopefully he'll push us over the top and upset South Tahoe. It would be the first time the boy's tennis team has ever beat South Tahoe, and the first time ever going to State. It's within reach, and I want it.
Aaaahhhhhhh, book report

What I was going to entitle this reminds me of this one thing
I kind of forget what specifically that one thing was, though.
Wait... I'm pretty sure I remember it's origin now, but it might be from something else, idk. I was going to entitle this post 'Motivation' although it doesn't necessarily have much to do with the post itself. It was actually only going to be this small beginning part in which I mention that I feel motivated to write more for reasons. Yep, that was going to be the extent of how much I talk about Motivation. Felt kind of Clickbaity. Even though I don't really need a quote on quote 'clickbaity' title because the people who are going to read this/the people I want to read this are already going to do so (I mean, I guess I technically might want some random people that are currently in my head to read it as well, but the concept still applies). So there's no need to put a semi-'clickbaity' title.
The one thing that it reminded me of was an anime, I forget which one, which all it's titles for the episodes were just a one or two word thing like "Forgetfulness", "Death", "Understanding" or something like that.
Now that I think about it also reminds me of some vlogbrothers's episodes. One was entitled "On ____" (they filled in the blank, I just didn't because I don't remember exactly what it was (tbh, it might have been "On Motivation")).
The title I chose also has a clickbaity feel to it. What's 'the one thing'??? Guess I'll have to read it and find out! Idk.
Anyway.
That wasn't really the point of the post. The point of the post wasn't to talk about the title, believe it or not. I kind of just started rambling, which is fine. Adds stuff to the post. Adds meat. Having random words that deal with nothing is good, I guess.
The original point was to start of by saying that I feel motivated to write more for reasons, and then go on to ramble about stuff. Because when I don't really know what to write, I like to just write whatever comes to mind.
I basically already fulfilled my goal of talking briefly about motivation, and then rambling, but I could probably ramble some more.
You see, but then you don't know what to ramble about. So then you just end up rambling about not knowing what to ramble about. Which sometimes leads to something. Not really sure if it will this time since I don't have the next sentence planned out as I write this. Although I did just think of this one: Yes, I write the previous sentence and think about the next one as I write. I'm assuming that's semi-typical. Never really thought about it not being normal... soooo...
I'll probably do more rambly type posts in the future. Or more concise thoughts that are quick. Mix it up a little, idk, I'll figure it out later (figuring stuff out later seems to be a pretty consistent theme in my life).
Also, the more I look at my twenty one pilots list I keep asking myself "How the heck did you do that??". Because I feel like the way the list is set up and maintained makes it flawed in some way, idk. I have some basic theories about the idea.
I seem to be saying "idk" a lot lately and it's annoying me.

School Update
Well my plan of how to tackle the school year has gone well thus far. If you don't know my schedule (I don't remember if I've stated it in the past) it's: 1. AP Stats 2. AP Calculus 3. US History (I dropped APUSH) 4. Video Production III 5. Honors English III 6-7. AP Physics.
Anyway, the basic plan was to be really good at math (therefore doing well in Stats, Calc, and Physics) and then survive the rest of the classes. It's worked so far with me acing the past test in Stats and Calc and allegedly doing well on the test in Physics (but we haven't gotten the scores for the last one, so I'm not sure).
My lowest grade is actually in US History with an 85 or something like that. That class sucks. I should turn in more work. You can basically turn in work however late you want so it's decently hard to get motivated, but I'll turn it in on Tuesday (no school Monday), so hopefully the grade will go up to an A.
English has projects coming up that I don't like.
Yep, that's that.
