Where have I been?

My life can be described as someone dropping a bouncy ball on the ground. You don't know where it's going to land or how hard it's going to come down but it will, without a doubt, fall to the ground and stop bouncing. I'm at that point. I've just stopped bouncing, and I'm so done with school. Don't forget that I'm a fully-invested high schooler that works afterschool as well, so I apologize for my recent MIA activity and how the blog has gotten a bit sparse since I've started. It would make me so happy if someone could just make a post about stress and I would read it all the way through. My stress capacity is lower than most people's, if you haven't noticed already. 

Nevertheless, I encourage you all the stick around because I've got some posts planned with Halloween-themed backgrounds. I've got a Wicked Reads tour with Penguin and something else that I'm not going to reveal at the moment (hehe). I'll leave you to the suspense..

I also want to announce that I've got a volunteer job with the Wildlife Conservation society. Other than reading books and blogging, I have a strong passion for conservation ecology and helping endangered species. I applied to this program that protests against the use of microbeads and got accepted! So for the next 6 months I'll be doing some hardcore magic in the conservation business. I'VE LITERALLY ALWAYS DREAMED ABOUT WORKING WITH THE WCS! 

Anyone familiar with this logo? THESE ARE WHO I'M WORKING WITH EEEK!! 

I wish you all a wonderful rest of the week and I'll get back in a matter of days (I hope!)
