In all, it was a pretty quiet month for me…school has been super busy, because I’ve been preparing for AP exams and I’ll be graduating in three weeks (WHAT?!). Definitely looking forward to the month of May – I’ll be turning 18 on May 11 and leaving for Italy (graduation gift) on May 30. I’ve got some really great books on my TBR list, and I’m excited about participating in the Teens Can Write, Too blog chain on May 22. 🙂
