I'm doing 26 things
Took the AP Biology exam today. It was surprisingly a lot easier than I expected. We’ll have to wait and see how I did in July, but it felt very good. The only issue I had was I ran out of time with the end of one of my free response questions. Other than that the exam as a whole felt wonderful.

How I did it
It made me
Limitless 
How I did it: Initially, I started out writing the alphabet every night during the summer and then, eventually I managed to get my handwriting good enough to do write my books left-handed. Once I got to that point it was pretty much just sped up progression. I was able to write ample amounts left-handed and now I enjoy switching back and forth. Definitely worth it. Read how I did it…
It made me
Estatic
How I did it: It wasn't really me... My parents fell in love with Hong Kong and asked my siblings and me if we'd like to go (finally, after they had been a great deal of times). We booked a plane three weeks in advance and headed out. Read how I did it…

I’m not going to mention it to him until I’m certain, but hope is on the horizon. In recent times I’ve had no idea when I’ll see him again. Not an inkling, but now it’s possible this long distance relationship is coming to an end and becoming the close distance relationship it started as.
I could be moving back home in two months times, but I’m uncertain as of right now if that will happen. It all depends on shipping out pets, job offers, housing… So many factors, I wouldn’t want to get his hopes up over something that could potentially be nothing, but I can’t help but get mine up at the prospect of going on runs with him again, and being warmed by his embrace when it’s chilly, and staring into his chocolate brown eyes that seem to hold the entire universe and pause time…
Even if it doesn’t happen, I feel my spirits sore at the possibility. Only time will tell.
With every challenge I’ve encountered I’ve wanted to give up, I’ve questioned myself, and I’ve even doubted my love of running, but through all of that here I stand. I have yet to accomplish this goal due to injuries (broken leg, slipping joint, constant shin splints) and due to moving to a very non-athletic country. Through all this, I’ve come to realize that if you love something enough, it’s worth it. You can’t ever give up on something you’re passionate about.
For the first time in my running career I’m going to be smart, actually smart rather than just saying so. If I feel the telltale signs of my hip slipping, I’ll take it easy, if my shins hurt, I’ll ice them, if I’m feeling sad about running, I’ll take a moment to realize that I must be doing it wrong because you can’t let the things you love become curses to you. This year, it’s going to happen.
This year, I’m going to run a 5k in 18 minutes.
