Hah! 6 exams down n four to go - yuck. I finally updated(sheepish look) - I konw its a week late, but i didn't plan on the amount of information I had 2 know for these stupid exams gettin in the way. I'm not entirely happy w/ the update, but oh well- its done. I apologize for any extreme confusion, large amounts of corny banter or sections, or nething else of that nature- i fully blame the 5 hour calculus exam that I wrote most of this after - it was cruel and unusual torture worthy of Voldemort. ug.

Ouch, okay. First off, I love all of you reviewers soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much and I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry. I promise I have a good explanation - there is no good excuse. Here goes. Plainly put, my summer sucked. I tried to update in May during my exams, but apparently it didn't work. I didn't find this out though until 4 weeks later when I got on to a computer at a internet cafe and discovered my story still only had 7 chapters! Ahhhh. Anyways, I was in greece on vacation with NOTHING in way of my story so i couldn't update then. However, as soon as I got back home I spent the next 2 and a half weeks moving 6 hours away...by car. I drove 13 friggin 12 hour(roundtrip) trips loaded down with boxes and packign or unpacking every other waking minute. I then had to pack and leave for the US with all my stuff for college 2 days later.

The day I get to the US I find out one of my good friends that lived elsewhere had died during my IB exams in a car accident. Then I had to have ankle surgery to remove an extra bone growth that had resulted from an improperly set fractured ankle and had my torn muscles in my right knee sewn. 5 weeks of therapy later I was relatively good, but during that time my 'mentor' and favorite teacher (lit teacher too) and adult in the whole world died in a biking accident in MI, where I was. Therefore I ended up going to his funeral and helping his wife and son. I got back from THAT, only to need to have my wisdom teeth removed. Now I'm here in college and have just gotten settled. I hope to update soon, but I'm currently waiting for my computer to arrive and I need it to give you the 4 chapters I have done and a new story :D. Okay, well, you can hate me now - i'm gonna go and write for all you wonderful people...maybe it'll turn into 6 chapters for the old one and 4 for the new one...if I'm lucky.

Love ya all.
