Lost in the Words

School finally ended today, I only had two classes left. I was so lazy getting up today, I just lied there in my bed for a half an hour after my alarm went off. I spent my time before school reading some of my new book “The Hourglass Door”, and reading blogs on Xanga. I left for school around noon because my Astronomy class didn’t start until 1pm. I walked around campus for a while and picked up a strawberry shake for the heck of it while I was waiting for class to start. All we had to do was turn in our reflection essays and then we could leave. I quickly turned mine in and then just hung around campus for the next two hours. I explored the school bookstore and got some free popcorn that the ice cream store makes every Wednesday. I sat outside of the classroom I had yoga and Pilates in this semester and just listened to music and played games on my phone while I waited for class to start.

We had a test in Pilates today, we studied a little, reviewed and then took the test. I got an 88% the test and ended up with an overall 98% (that’s an A) in the class. We ate the teachers home-made chili and ate dessert after we were all done with the test. We hung out and talked until class was over. Class today was around an hour and a half, but it felt much shorter. I hope I can take another class from my instructor sometime, she was fun to have.

After class was done I decided I wanted to try Rockin Robbie’s cheeseburger. I don’t usually indulge myself NEARLY this much, but it’s the end the the semester so I’ve been having a bit of fun this week trying food at school. I got the cheeseburger combo without the drink (it’s a dollar cheaper). My mom called right after I ordered and told me she was on her way, it was perfect timing. I told her what I was doing and she said she would be there in 5 minutes. I got my order right before she got here. I managed to get to the place where she picked me up a minute before she arrived. I knew RR would live up to it’s reputation once again. I usually loathe fast food burgers with a burning passion, but I knew RR’s would taste better than the others. I enjoyed every bite of that hamburger and the outrageously good fries they have as well.

I probably won’t be eating out like this for a while, it’s not really my style. I finished my food in the car and my mom and brother and I made a quick stop at some place that sold vitamins, and other health stuff. I am not sure what they were doing there because I was busy looking around, but the place was interesting. It wasn’t quite as interesting as the place my mom works at, but it was still pretty cool.

We went home right after this. I was glad to be home and went straight downstairs and started working on writing this post. I am always careful about making it so you can never tell I don’t write these all at once. I always make it look like I write it in one sit down. I tend to get impatient when I try to do that, so I avoid it as much as possible. I am quite picky about the way I present my posts.

I pretty much spent the whole entire evening reading my new book. I am half way through it now, it’s amazing really. I get so into whatever I read I almost become one with the characters. I can feel their emotions. I can understand what they are feeling and why they feel it. I’m so practiced at spinning vivid images in my head and losing myself that burying myself in a book is like second nature. I can very easily become one with the story. Books stir my emotions and calm my thoughts. Sometimes I completely forget about the outside world and my surroundings. Sometimes the emotions that books bring me aren’t good, but I love them just the same. I get so emotionally involved it’s ridiculous sometimes.

I don’t think I’ve had such a thoughtless night like this in a while. I really should try to find more time for reading this next semester. I am just glad I will have a few weeks of free time during Christmas and New Years vacation where I will be able to demolish some of my reading list.

Happy 12/12/12 everyone. Once in a lifetime thing. :)

Braced

Last Saturday was pretty boring, I just did a little bit of homework, it was pretty uneventful. I did go to the store a few times, we bought shaving cream, de-oderant, and some new Spry mouth wash. We also went to Costco and I bought some new camisoles, and bread. I went to the store a third time, but I don't remember what else I got, that part was a little blurry. I spent most of the day watching stuff on Netflix, just hanging out at home and doing stuff with the family. Nothing of much note to write about Saturday.

Sunday I had to wake up around the same time I do on the other days of the week (9am). We had another Stake Conference, it's a special 2 hour meeting we have twice a year in my church, kind of like General Conference, only in a much smaller area. I have no idea why they did another one since we just had one a month ago. I woke up late because I went to bed late, but called someone for a ride, threw on my clothes, and left soon after I woke up. It was just in time, if I had called my ride even a few seconds later it would have been too late. I really did not want to get up at that point in time, I was so tired. When I got to the meeting I ended up sleeping through the whole 2 hours of the meeting. I don't remember anything they talked about, but I'm probably going to ask people what they talked about. It was around noon when the meeting ended and we left. There was crazy traffic getting out of the church parking lot, it took us probably 15 minutes to get out of there.

I was glad when we got home, I took a nap, and hung out with my family for the rest of the day. I spent a lot of the time watching anime, and preparing my English paper. I was so stressed out about the English paper I didn't get much done on Sunday. I really try not to do homework on Sunday, and even though I tried to do some it didn't work out too well. I gave up after a while and just decided to relax.

Monday was pretty good, we talked about how to cite references, I left early to get to Astronomy earlier. In astronomy we talked about stuff like star clusters, more about nebulae, and other star related stuff. In Pilates we did a bunch of stuff with those big round balls they use in Pilates. I have been waiting weeks to get to that part, I love the big balls, they are a lot of fun to use.  We did stuff like balancing, using them to work out, and some other stuff. If I can find a proper video to demonstrate I will post it later.

After class was done, I went and got my stuff out of my locker, called my dad for a ride and went to SubWay and got a sandwich, a cookies, and a Dr. Pepper. I then walked to the library where he was picking me up. I got there just in time, because he pulled up 3 minutes after I got there. The line for SubWay had been long, and I was a little worried I would miss him, but I didn't.  I had also gotten some coconut ice cream before my Pilates class. I always like to have a little bit of fun on the first Monday of every month. I usually do not eat out this much, I prefer home cooked food. We went to the bank when we left the school after we picked up my mom from work. 

After we got done with the bank, I reminded my mom and dad that we needed to go to the medical supply store to get me my brace finally. I have had wrist troubles for years, mostly caused by my Ganglion Cyst that I get from repetitive movement of my wrist. it causes movement to be painful. They go away if you stop the movement enough. I could get a surgery to get it removed, but there is no guarantee that it will not come back, the wrist brace was a better alternative by far. I love wearing it and my wrist is already improving, I can tell that much already. As long as I wear it enough my problems should go away for good. I will probably be using a brace for good from now on. I don't have to wear it all the time though.

Anyway, after I got home I finished my English paper, and did some other things not really worth noting.  I was really super happy when I finished my first draft of my English paper, it's so much easier to do the others when you have the first one done.

I learned just how bad the wasp problem in our house is yesterday, they are getting pretty big in number now, we have had this problem for a while and don't know how to get rid of them I hope we won't have to go to an exterminator for help, because my family hates poison. We killed around 30 or more in the house between yesterday and today alone. There are a lot more outside though. I have had to be careful and keep my door shut at all times so they don't come into my room. I even go as far as to turn off my light whenever I go out, so I don't attract them with the light, they like light.

So today I got woken up by my sister, she asked me if I wanted to go vote with her, we were going to vote, and then leave early for school because she had a doctor's appointment. I had to put on the finishing touches on my English paper and eat and stuff first though, so I declined going with her then. I got dressed, at breakfast, did the final little touches on my first draft, and then printed it. I then watched anime for a while and then just hung out while I was waiting for her. The voting lines took longer than she though, so we ended up leaving late, instead of early.

I was late for my institute class, but managed to participate a lot more than I usually do though. We talked about why some of the people in the book of Mormon acted like they acted and did what they did. It was an over all very entertaining class today. I did leave a bit early so I could get to my English class early though.  In English (we work in the computer lab on Tuesdays) we worked on our papers. I had someone do a peer review of my paper, and then I did my 2nd draft, it didn't take very long. that was pretty much all we did the whole class time. I did peek at my astronomy test score though, I got a 78 / 100! I was and am still very very happy about that.  I ended up leaving English early today as well because i finished my 2nd draft early.

They were giving out free cotton candy when I got out of my English class, it was green apple flavored. I just walked around the school, got a yogurt parfait, and walked through the school store for a bit before yoga. After a while I went to my locker, got out my workout clothes, put my stuff in my locker and went and got dressed. When I got to the yoga studio there was no one there, I guess the previous class was cancelled (someone teaches Zumba before), so I just put down my mat and slept until class started. Today we worked on forearm stand, hand stands, and some other standing poses that you get into from downward facing dog pose.  It was a really fun class, challenging, and got my heart rate up a decent amount.

After class ended I just went back to my locker after putting my pants on over my yoga pants, called my sister, and she picked me up. In the time I was waiting for her I made an appointment with the school's writing center so they could help me with my 3rd draft for my paper. We went to go get my mom from work after we left the school. When we got home my mom got my dad and we went over to our local school to vote. The line was non existent, everyone had voted earlier. I voted for Mitt Romney, and some other people, and when I was done, I gave someone my voting card, grabbed some candy they had, and went home. I have just been hanging around watching the election and stuff. I am bummed out that Romney lost, I hope our country will be okay. Hopefully Obama will give me a good reason to like him this time around. I have my fingers crossed.

Anyway so those were my past few days. I have other stuff to say, but I'll stop here for now. :)

If I forgot anything I will just add it tomorrow.
