And one more thing

For anyone who needs advice about how to survive a really boring class, just write some fluffy romance fanfiction about your friend and her crush who is literally 3 seats away from you. Or you could just write headcannons about your ships. Because obviously Steve Rogers showing Bucky Barnes how a popcorn machine works is waaaaaaay more important that whatever your math teacher's going on about lol.

Ahhhhh school

Wow, ok it's been like 25 million years since I posted. The last time I posted, dinosaurs were alive. The last time I posted, America wasn't even a concept. The last time I posted, the Sherlock fandom was slightly sane-ok that last one's a bit of an exaggeration. But I realize that it's been forever, and I'm sorry. But this time, I actually have a good and proper excuse. School.

Yup, that's right, for the last almost three weeks, I've been having to endure a special hell reserved for children and teenagers known as "School". (It actually hasn't been that bad for me-not yet at least) Now, this year, the phenomenon known as "Going Back To School" was especially terrifying for me, as I had spent the last two years doing Virtual School, which meant that all my classes were online. Needless to say, having to now go to a real school, with actual other people, actual teachers who might hate me/be incompetent, an actual schedule I have to follow, seven whole classes to navigate and figure out and get used to sitting through, ugh it was horrible. I was so nervous on the first day I was literally shaking.

I quickly realized, however, that even though there is a plethora of idiots, and some annoying teachers, and some horrifically boring subjects, there are a few nice people whom I get along with, and a few teachers who seem to actually know what they're doing. So that's reassuring.

So far the worst part about my entire school day has been waking up, and I don't even have to get up early. whiCH LEADS ME TO ANOTHER RANT!

For some stupid reason, some absolute spork (Yes I am using the name of a decidedly stupid eating utensil as an insult) decided that it would be a good idea for middle schools to start at 9:30. Now, you're probably going "Heather, why would you possibly be complaining? Isn't it great that you don't have to wake up for school insanely early?" It is. What's not great about it, though, is that we still have to be there for 6 hours and 45 minutes. Which means we don't get out until 4:15. Which is WAY TOO FREAKING LATE TO GET OUT OF SCHOOL OMG

Seriously it's ridiculous and annoying and horrible and I don't like it, and I would much much much much rather have to wake up at like 7:30 and get out at 2 because that just seems a lot more reasonable.

As for my teachers, I like them alright, they seem like they'll be ok teachers, if not wonderful people. Not that they like, murder people or anything, just that they're all a little weird. But anyway.

So yeah, I'm sorry that I haven't posted in 50 billion decades, I'll try to post more, I probably won't post a whole lot, because while I'm not in the hellhole :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) I have to do homework. Come to think of it, I'm avoiding homework right now. Whoops. But I will try.

See you later internet.

Go Fund Me, Holy Trinity, novels, and other connected affairs

Ladedadeda I have some words to say.

So I'm in a bit of a predicament at the moment, because I want to go to a certain school in the worst way, but tuition there costs around $12,000 a year, and unfortunately my family can't afford to pay $12,000 for something I could get from public school. So, I've committed myself to coming up with the money on my own this year. 12,000 dollars is a lot for a teenager, I know. I will be doing various things to raise this money, and one of them is by using GoFundMe. You can find my account here. Seriously, any and all donations, no matter how small, are suuuuuper appreciated. Or any sort of publicity for it. Seriously. You give my $5 and I'll love you forever.

Something else I'm doing to try to make money this year is through some books that I'm currently working on. I haven't published any yet, but one's a book of poetry that's close to being done and the other is a novel currently in the planning stages. I'll update you guys with info about those as soon as they're done.

One more thing. If anyone has advice for me on how to raise money (without having an actual job, obviously, because that's considered child labor and is frowned upon in most societies), I would really appreciate hearing your suggestions.

(Insert clever, concise, perfect wrap up to my rambling trainwreck of a post)(Upon closer inspection of this post, I have realized that it was indeed, far less trainwreck-ish and rambling than the majority of my posts thus far)  
Bye bye <3
