Piano Guys, One Republic, and Beethovan. Yes pleeease!

I love the Piano Guys. So much. I've listened to this one a few bajillion times today. 
It's okay, you can turn it up loud and dance around the house like a ballerina if you feel the need. I won't judge. 


Aaaah. I love it. 

I'm off to bed now. Hopefully a blog post about some of my summer plans soon!

Studying.

Summer is drawing closer, maybe it's even here for some of you lucky ones. I'm starting to wrap up school, and I'm kind of like really excited to be done with my sophomore year of high school. It's kind of weird thinking I'm half way done with high school. So weird that at times I'd rather just not think about it... 
I heard some one talking to a homeschool mom today. She said something like "I am so ready for school to be over. You're lucky. Y'all get to stop whenever you want." ha! I wish... but I'll save my corrections of common homeschool misconceptions for later. You're very welcome for that.

So as school is wrapping up, I think it appropriate to tell you of some of my study habits. 

Tea. It's a must. How am I supposed to study for a final without tea? And it has to be Earl Grey. Actually I'm even more specific. It has to be Twining's Earl Grey. It comes in a pretty yellow package and tastes better than all the other brands of Earl Grey. (Take my word for it. I've had earl grey taste testing sessions. Obsessed with tea? Ehh, maybe just a little.) :)

And my favorite study snack is probably those oatmeal cookies my mom makes. They are de-licious.

And pencil or pen? I go through phases. Sometimes I prefer pencils, then other times a pen. Right now I'm leaning toward pens. 

Oh, and of course, you can't study without some background music. My go to study music is either John Schmidt (From the Piano Guys) Pandora station, or some Last of the Mohicans / Narnia / Rudy soundtrack.  

Do you have any study drinks, or snacks, or pen/pencil preferences, or music, or anything else that doesn't fit in the categories listed above?

Good luck to all of you finishing up, and congrats to all of you who have finished, and I envy all of you who don't have to go through finals anymore.
