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. :)

The Sandman

     I can’t believe it’s the last week of school already. My time has always flown by too fast. I think father time must be getting impatient. That or he knows my life is complicated so he tries to speed it up so I don’t get frustrated. I know if father time was real, we would get along just fine. I wonder how he and the sand man would get along, funny thought. In a way you could call God father time I guess. I believe in God, so I guess he can play the part better than anyone else could.

I’ve always pictured fictional characters inside my head, it’s a regular thing for me. If the sandman really existed I think he would live in some mysterious candle lit castle in the clouds. The castle would be made of dark glittering stone, and the towers would reach high and greet the stars. It would be on a hovering stand-alone island. The castle would be surrounded by trees and beautiful gardens and he would have his own servants and maids that took care of everything. The grounds would also have various statues in the form of different mythical and historical figures, and they would all be made of white marble. There would be a large mysterious room somewhere in the castle with lots of containers, pots, and other stuff you would find in a laboratory and a kitchen where he would make his mysterious sleeping sand. He would be quiet, but kind and calm and very mysterious like the whispering breeze.

My day has been pretty calm. As my radio alarm clock went off and I started coming back from the land of the dreamers Ronnie was the first thing I thought about before I opened my eyes. I’ve had other people that have had my waking thoughts throughout my life, but none of them ever gave me the amount of comfort that he does. He takes up so much of my heart now it’s terrifying, but yet exciting. Even if fate decides to be cruel and separate us for real I will probably love him for the rest of my life and will definitely never forget him. It’s strange, even though we have decided to not be in a serious relationship right now, just the fact that he cared enough to let go makes me love him even more. The fact that he was able to end it just proves how much he really cares about me and that gives me the best feeling In the world. I don’t think I’ve ever had anyone that has ever cared about me like this before. Its amazing how much you can care about someone who is so far away from you. Just another piece of evidence that proves time and space have no effect on love if you want it to stay the way it is.

It’s been a long time since I have been able to put so much thought into one person like this. My thoughts were so lonely, as was my heart for the longest time. I am so glad I have found someone I can talk to about anything and feel close to. We understand each other so well it’s scary sometimes. I don’t regret even a second I have spent talking to him. He has earned a special place in my heart that no one is ever going to usurp. Thinking about him in the morning gives me a strange satisfaction and makes my day worth living so much more. Every day when I walk through the halls of the University, or go outside, or do anything I have a wish in the center of my heart that our paths will cross and our fates will inter twine someday. I will never deprive my heart of this hope, I will let it burn like a raging fire.

I feel lighter, everything about my life feels lighter now that I have him. We don’t need to be in a relationship to make me feel this way. I am like a breeze that silently moves from place to place. I feel free, natural, open and happy. Everything comes so naturally to me when we talk. I am pretty sure he feels the same way.

As I got out of bed and turned off my alarm clock everything went silent. I turned on my light and walked back over to my laptop that sits on its table beside my bed on the floor. I slowly opened it up and went through my usual morning business where I listen to music, and print off stuff for school if I need to. Today I listened to some music by Nana Mizuki and printed off my final essay for my Astronomy class. I didn’t have as much time to listen to music or do whatever then I usually do. English started an hour earlier, so I only had an hour of free time before I had to leave.

I walked upstairs slowly, my head still drowning in my waking thoughts and was greeted be the sight of a fluffy thin layer of white show on the ground outside. I like to think of snow as clouds that get bored, so they decide to fall from the sky and say hello and just repeat the cycle of falling from and returning to the sky. It’s a silly thought, but I have fun with it. I had Coco Krispies for breakfast and just sat there at the table gazing out at the snow while eating them.

I went back downstairs and made sure all my English assignments were in the folder I put them in so I could turn them in today. I found my jeans, and my black T-shirt with the faded Micky Mouse design on it and got dressed. I decided I wanted to leave my hair down today, but I didn’t want it to get stringy before I went to school so I kept it back in a headband until right before I left.

I got my stuff together and unplugged my phone from it’s charger. I had got the battery all the way down to 6% the night before. Sometimes I just don’t feel like sleeping, so I just stay up watching stuff on Netflix. I put my black boots on and pulled the bottom of my jeans over them and walked out to the car. We decided to take our new car today. It was freezing outside, I had my black jacket with the peacock design on and I wore my soft white fleece hat to keep my hair from getting wet. We got in the car, put our seat belts on and tried to start the car, but it wouldn’t start. We gave up after a few tries and decided to take the other car because I was going to be late if we didn’t. It was just lightly snowing the whole time we were driving. It took us about 20 minutes to get to the University campus, but for some reason today it felt much longer than that. I felt anxious and kind of impatient today for some reason and was glad to get out of the car when we got there. I quickly ran into the school and walked to class.

When I got to the classroom my teacher wasn’t there, but everyone else was. I was a little late, but it didn’t really matter because we weren’t really doing anything today anyway. We all just sat there and did our own thing waiting for the professor to come, but the clock just kept ticking by and she never showed up. A Japanese woman finally walked into the room after about 30 minutes and told us that she could not be here today for personal reasons. We all turned in our English portfolios to her instead and just started doing our own thing. We were supposed to be having a party today, so we brought food. We just hung out for the class period, talked and ate food.

People brought chips, soda, chocolates, popcorn, cookies, cake, salsa and some other stuff. We all had a good time just hanging out talking about random stuff and about our assignments that we had. We took photos before some of us started to leave. The class today was two hours long instead of one. I didn’t talk very much. I just listened to other people talk and ate. I said goodbye to everyone before I left, I only stayed half of the class period.

I walked along the hallways thinking about the snow and wondering what the weather was like where Ronnie lives. I always go into this weird dazed like state between classes where I just walk and think and don’t pay attention to the surroundings around me more than I need to. I am a daydreamer and sometimes I majorly zone out, it’s so like me to do that.

I walked to the school book store and bought the hourglass series by Lisa Mangum. I have wanted to read her series for a long time. There are three books, they are called The Hourglass Door, The Golden Spiral, and the Forgotten Locket. It cost me around $25 to buy all 3 at the same time. After I got done at the book store I walked to my Astronomy class, took out the first book, and began reading it in the hallway. I was 45 minutes early, so this is how I passed my time. I just read a few pages in, very carefully so I got the main feeling of the book. I have a feeling I am really going to enjoy this series a lot.

I thought my Astronomy final was today for some reason. I figured out that I was wrong when I saw a completely different class was going into the planetarium after I went in. I just sat there and tried to figure out when my final was, I was feeling confused right about then. I very quietly went up to the professor that was in the room and asked him where I should go to find out what day my final was on. I found out it’s not until Wednesday. I felt very relieved that I did not miss it.

I decided I was not ready to leave quite yet, so I just walked around campus and watched all the people as they walked by. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to get something or fun even though I ate in English. After walking around for a while I decided that it would be a waste of money for me to eat on campus today. I saw a vending machine nearby though, and I decided that I could spend a dollar on a drink. I usually do not drink soda that often, but I figured I could make an exception today. I opened my cherry 7up and walked to the library. I am really glad I don’t have to stress about papers and other assignments for a while now. I sat down at my usual spot at the 1st floor of the library, plugged my ear buds into my iPhone and started watching some documentary about Star Trek fans that caught my eye on my phone. It’s nice to have something I can pass the time with while I wait for my mom or sister to come and get me.  

I gazed out at the snow through the big windows in the library and just watched as the little flakes landed on the ground. I decided after a few minutes of watching the Star Trek documentary that I would wait until later to watch it. I just sat there and let myself fall deep into my daydreams while I was waiting.

My mom got to the school 30 minutes after I called her. I am not particularly picky about what time I am picked up. I got in the car and we drove home. The windshield wipers on our new car made a loud squeaking noise every time they slid across the glass, it got kind of annoying after a while. We didn’t really talk about anything while we were driving home, this is usually normal for us when we are in the car. I slightly dozed off and let myself drift between the waking world and the dream world. I felt so light, but yet heavy in a strange sort of way in that moment.

When we got home I kicked off my boots, and went downstairs back to my sanctuary. I watched anime and just hung out in my room for most of the rest of the day. I was feeling kind of moody today in the afternoon after I got home, not in a bad way though. I think I might have just been a little over stimulated. I get that way when I am around a lot of people sometimes. My mind just starts to race and my emotions come alive and they try to fly around everywhere, but I can usually keep them in control. I usually watch something dramatic, or listen to quiet music depending on how I feel. Today I watched an anime called “Nana”. Nana is one of my favorite anime of all time. It’s cute, dramatic, romantic, and it makes your head spin sometimes. It’s about music, love, life, it’s just plane amazing. I hope they continue the series where they left off someday, I won’t hold my breath though.

I was so glad I did not have anything else to do today that I did the thing I usually do when I don’t want to do anything, but don’t want to just sit in silence and stare at the wall or the ceiling. I like to just put on music and look at pictures of things or people I like, it’s very relaxing and it frees my mind a lot. I actually do this quite often when I am feeling stressed, and In the mornings when I need to recharge my inner battery. I look at different pictures, and listen to different music depending on what kind of mood I am in.

I crashed for a few hours after school, and slept like the dead. I had started watching the Star Trek documentary again, but started to fall asleep, so I turned it off again and ended up surrendering to the dream world once again.

My mom made minestrone for dinner tonight, she makes really super great minestrone, it really is the best soup ever. I say that about everything she cooks though honestly, it’s all amazing. Haha. It was really nice to wake up to her cooking after a nap. I was pretty hungry, I hadn’t eaten for probably 5 or so hours.

My sister and my nieces put the ornaments on the Christmas tree sometime after my parents left for tabernacle choir practice. I was busy doing my own thing in my own world, I didn’t pay all that much attention to them. I looked at the tree once or twice when they were doing it, but I was so glad to be finally over with all my school work for this semester that I just wanted to relax and keep to myself today.

I grabbed a couple handfuls of pistachios out of the bag on the counter and brought them downstairs with me one of the times I went upstairs to look at the tree. My family is pretty addicted to those things, we all love to eat them. It’s pretty insane how fast we go through them sometimes. I guess you could say we are all a bunch of nut heads. Haha.

Nothing other than this happened that is worth noting, not that I remember anyway. I stalked Ronnie’s profile on facebook for a few minutes earlier when I got bored, he always posts interesting stuff. I don’t think I’ve shared anything that interesting lately on mine, mainly due to school. I should get around to it sometime soon though. It’s usually so normal for me.

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.

Sugar Lows and Party Highs

First off I'll tell you about my Halloween. Halloween was pretty awesome this year. I was a golden queen again this year. I am probably going to be something else next year, I think it's about time for me to be something else instead of a queen again.  Anyway, the first thing I did when I woke up was I got my blond and golden wig out of the closet and tried to figure it out. After fiddling with it for about 15 minutes I got it all straightened out and brushed out and it looked good again. Being in the closet for a whole entire year squished into a corner didn't help it at all. I put my costume on after this, I did it really carefully so I wouldn't have to put the wig on again. I did my usual stuff I do before school, stuff on the computer, listening to music, getting my stuff together. I left for school around 11:30am.

I'll talk about school later, but I want to mention that not very many people dressed up on Halloween on campus. I was kind of a little bit disappointed. Everyone loved my costume though, and those that did dress up had really good costumes.  I had fun picking out the few people that did dress up.  I went out for ice cream after I was done with Astronomy. I got half pumpkin, and half lemon custard. I decided to ditch my Pilates class for Halloween because I didn't want to take everything off just for that class and then have to put it back on again.  I called my sister and she picked me up and we picked my mom up from work after that and then went home.

After school when I got home I actually took of my wig, tied m hair back and put on one of my bandannas. I had to get my hair out of the way for a little bit, it was starting to drive me nuts and the wig too. I had my hair up in the wig, but it felt a little weird, so I had to just put everything back and keep it out of my face when I got home.  I hung around the house watching anime, playing with my nieces, and just doing random stuff for a while. I was pretty determined not to do any homework that day, so I just took it easy. I got bored and decided to do a candid video of my family, I did it mostly for Ronnie because I wanted him to see what they were like. I won't be sharing that on here though because it's just too personal.

I watched "The Nightmare Before Christmas" in my spare time it's a Halloween and Christmas tradition every year for me, I never get tired of that movie. I actually purchased the manga today as well.

Around 7:45pm I left with my dad to see this really cool house that a friend of my parents decorates every year for Halloween. Every year they decorate their huge house with realistic decorations like a lion that jumps out at you randomly and looks very realistic, a mermaid that is lifelike and tells a story, a fight scene hologram, pirate ship, skeleton playing the piano, a fortune teller, and a lot more. The house is always amazing, or so I have been told (this was my first time going). They even had assorted flavors of mini cupcakes for their guests to enjoy. I think I ate 6 different kinds!

After we were done there my dad took me to a Halloween party my church was throwing at a local golf course club house. The people that organized the party rented out the whole club house, two floors, one dance floor on each, catered with hot chocolate, wassle, cheese and crackers, fruit with dip, veggies with dip, cookies, and donuts. I think the dance  on the 2nd floor was better than the one on the first floor. The whole place was so busy and lively and everyone was wearing costumes. I actually got a video.

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs5wjN_SVDA]

They had a candy table with a lot of candy on it, I just picked out one of each color of those round striped candies though, I didn't need more than that and had eaten a lot of the other stuff so I wasn't craving it or anything. I think the original peppermint striped candy is my favorite flavor out of all of them. I love to collect the colors on Halloween and save them for later.

Anyway, so I was there until 20 minutes before the party, then had my dad come and pick me up. The moon looked amazing, and was covered by a thin layer or clouds that made it glow extra.  I could also see Jupiter as I waited for my dad to get there. At first I wasn't sure if it was Jupiter or not, but my Star Walk app on my iPhone cleared that up.

When I got home I just grabbed a few pieces of candy out of our candy bowl, and went downstairs. I watched anime for a while, and did a few other things. I ended up doing homework until 3am out of a whim. I had a personal conference with my English teacher the day after so I wanted to get as caught up as I could. 

Oh, here is a picture of my costume, this picture is from last year, but it's the same costume. :)

I ended up sleeping in a little more than I wanted to and was nearly late for my conference with my teacher. We just talked about what I am missing and stuff and we went over my last English paper, she was impressed with it a lot. I feel a whole lot better about the class after talking with her. I should be able to to get caught up by this next week. I skipped my institute class yesterday because I scheduled the appointment at the same time I had the class. I think it was worth it to miss it so I could talk one on one with my English teacher.  I nearly didn't notice what room she was in, I had to look through all the private rooms on the 3rd floor of the library in order to find her about 3 times.  I was a little late, but not too late.

I didn't have any classes for 2 hours after this, because we don't have English on Thursdays (I usually have it at noon), so I headed to the institute building to have their weekly Thursday lunch. This weeks lunch was Chilli dogs, and salad, it was pretty good. You always have to pay with cash, so I had to buy a Sobe Lifewater and get 5 dollars cash back so I could buy it. The lunch is always 2 dollars no matter what they are having which is really nice.

After I ate I just hung around campus after putting my stuff in my locker. I put everything except for my purse in my locker. I spend my free time before my Yoga class reading manga and surfing facebook. Thirty minutes before my class started I walked back to my locker, put my purse in it, got my yoga mat, and got dressed for my class. I headed to the class after this. We worked on the rest of our sitting positions, some of them were really hard. I am a lot better at the standing positions than the sitting ones, the sitting ones are hard. I am a little overweight as well, so that interferes sometimes with my performance.  I am losing 5 to 10 pounds a month though, so I should have it all off in a few months, I am excited. 

Anyway, after my Yoga class I didn't feel like getting back into my regular clothes, so I just went straight to my locker, got my stuff called my sister and then waited. We went to Taco Bell on our way home. I usually don't eat out, but I didn't eat breakfast, and the lunch was starting to wear off, it wasn't that big. I got a bean burrito and an ice water and then we went home. 

I just hung out at home listening to music, reading manga,  eating what little candy I had, nothing that interesting happened yesterday after school. I stayed up pretty late watching Futurama on Netflix. I couldn't sleep yesterday night for some reason. I did get to sleep eventually, but I wish I had gotten more time to sleep. I think it must have been the candy I ate, candy does that to me and I get the worst sugar lows after I eat it.

I was like a zombie when I woke up this morning, my hair was a mess and I was a mess in general, and I could hardly keep my eyes open. I proceeded to take one of the longest showers I have ever taken (an hour and a half), it felt great thought and woke me up. My English teacher was still doing conferences today, so I didn't have an English class, so I took my sweet time in the shower. I felt so good when I got out and so relaxed. I brushed my teeth before I left the bathroom and rinsed with mouth wash. I then got dressed put Pandora Radio on, and surfed through Instagram on my phone for a while and did a few other random things that aren't really worth of noting. 

My sister and I left for the school around 11:30am. I didn't have an English class at noon, but I decided to go anyway. Since I didn't have a class for another hour and a half my sister took me to Arby's for breakfast. We both got french dip sandwiches, a shake and some curly fries. I didn't eat breakfast at home, so I am glad we went there. My shake was this new peppermint ones they had and it was amazing. It had little peppermint candy pieces in it and whipped cream on top, so heavenly.  I really enjoyed the French dip sandwich, it was great, and I loved the dip stuff you dip it in. It wasn't my favorite, but it was nice.

After we were done my sister took me to the school. I spent time in the school store looking at the books and stuff. I also walked around the campus a little bit outside the store for a while. Twenty minutes before my astronomy class I decided I was just going to go sit outside the classroom until the other class got out. I uploaded some new pictures to Instagram in my spare time, and they quickly got some likes. My new Instagram username is Phoenixplumes. You can follow me if you want, if you have instagram. After a while the other class got out and I just went in and sat down.  I sat back in the comfy chair, made sure my signal was strong enough and then updated my iphone apps. I dozed off part way through class, I wasn't asleep, just partially dozing, but I was awake enough to hear what my professor was saying. This is a talent I have been perfecting for a while, for when I am at school, but tired. I can be partially asleep, but still hear what the teacher is saying and remember it. My brain also knows when it's time to open my eyes and look at a visual aid or something and when I can close them.  My brain usually sets off the que every new slide he shows. I momentarily wake up, look at the slide, my brain takes a note of it, and then shuts off again. Sometimes I am only asleep for part of the class period depending on how tired I am, and then sometimes I don't sleep at all.  It always works out fine, it's a good ability to have. At the end of class I wake up completely and end up being refreshed.

Anyway, after class I made another trip to the book store and bought "The Nightmare Before Christmas" manga I mentioned earlier and the 2nd book in Brandon Mull's "The Beyonders" series.  I headed to the library after this and started reading the manga, called my sister and just waited for her there for a while. She didn't take too long to get to the school today. 

We went to Petsmart after and she got some stuff for the cat and for the 2 fish we have, then we picked up my mom from work and went home.  I passed out not to long after I got home and got a good nap.  I have just been here typing this (taking my sweet time doing so) and listening to Nightwish's new album while doing so.

That's what has been happening up until now over the past 3 days.  I haven't written anything for almost 2 weeks not only because I wanted to go premium on here first, but because I have been pretty busy. Last week I was studying for my 2nd big Astronomy test, i think I did pretty well, I knew most of the questions, and I'm sure I'll get a good grade. We reviewed chapters 6 to 15 last week for the test in Astronomy, and this week we have been talking about nebulae, and the sun. It has been pretty interesting, I love everything about Astronomy.

Nothing that interesting has happened in English except for we watched this movie about illegal chinese immigrants and did a movie review on the documentary. If I remember correctly it was called "Golden Venture" or something like that. I am still trying to get caught up in English and should be caught up by next week. Things should get easier for me after I get caught up and less confusing. I was having some minor confidence and motivational and procrastination issues which is why this happened.  My English professor gives us these calendars that map out what we are going to be doing, so I know what I need to do. The calendars really help when you are behind.

In my Pilates class we have been taking some detours and doing some yoga stuff instead of the regular pilates stuff. Last time I was in the class (on Monday) we had a substitute, he is the guy that teaches the yoga class before the pilates class I have. He had us doing some really painful stretches the WHOLE ENTIRE class period. We held each stretch for 5 minutes or more, it felt kind of good, but it was also painful at the same time. I have been a little stiff this week because I didn't practice last week, never making that mistake again. I'm not sure what we did on Wednesday because I skipped the class. I always have a lot of fun in my Pilates class.

In yoga we have been doing the sitting positions like I mentioned before. I still have to get my study guides in in my yoga class, I've been do preoccupied with my other classes I never got around to that.

Anyway, so that is how I am doing in my classes. I think this semester is going to turn out pretty well. I'm not going to get perfect grades like I got last semester, but I'm sure I'll pass.

Ron Paul visited our school last week. I didn't go to the thing, but there were a lot of other people that went to see him. I am not a Ron Paul fan, but apparently a lot of other people that go to my school are.

I have gotten to talk to Ronnie a little more the past couple of weeks, I love talking to him a lot, we always have the best conversations and we have so much in common. I've been showing him everything I have in my room and stuff, I love sharing stuff with him, like what I like and stuff like that. I think I talked to him today more than I have in a while. A lot has been going on where he lives, so we haven't been in constant contact like we used to be. I'm hoping that we will be able to be around each other more sometime in the future. :)

Anyway, this is long enough, if I forgot anything I'll just add it tomorrow. :)

I still have a lot to say, but it can wait. :)

Kind of Cranky Today

Today has been just a normal Sunday, it was cloudy and a bit gloomy. Nothing really of not besides for the 2nd day in a row no one told me about dinner when it was done and I almost didn't get any AGAIN! It happened yesterday too. We had grilled cheese and tomato soup. This tomato soup is a lot better than the Campbells soups though and it usually goes pretty fast when we make it. I hat it when I am almost left out of stuff like that, it gets on my nerves.

I am a bit behind in school right now in all my classes except Astronomy. I don't remember if I told you, but we have these weekly quizzes we are supposed to take online on the weekends and I forgot to do a few. My professor was kind enough to unlock them and let me do them so I could get the points. They are pretty hard quizzes, it took me a good 2 and a half hours to get them done. That was earlier this week sometime I think.  I have been able to stay caught up lately which I am glad about. I have a lot to do in my English class though. I am sure I'll survive somehow, I just have to pace myself slowly and keep my mind relaxed. I nearly forgot to do this weeks Astronomy quiz, it was only 20 minutes before it was due before I remembered. I was able to finish it in 12 minutes and get 11 / 20. Not the best score, but it'll have to do.

We had a test in Yoga on Thursday, I was the last one to finish and I actually had to correct after class with the teacher because I was so slow to finish. I was a bit embarrassed, but I did try my best. I even tried to study in my two hours of free time between classes, but couldn't concentrate. I ended up giving up and just heading to class and looking up some stuff on my phone before we did the test. I will be glad to be doing actual Yoga in class again this week. I still have a few things to turn in, but I have to worry about English first. I got all thrown off and stuff and now I am in big trouble. I'm really going to have to crack down on everything this week.

Saturday was boring, I just watched Star Trek, hung out, and did lazy stuff all day. I didn't get any homework done this weekend. I know that is bad, but I had to get organized and plan everything out. I have a feeling I am going to have to be extra motivated this week. 

I went out for Ice cream on Thursday, and got Lime Ricky sherbet. I love Lime Ricky sherbet, it is one of my favorite. I ate it on the way to my yoga class, I was trying to calm down and relax, I was super worried about the test.  I had some cherry chocolate chip ice cream earlier this week, but I didn't like it as much as I thought I would so I decided to get the sherbet the next day.  On Friday they were out of the fruit and yogurt parfaits they have usually, but they had these cherry chocolate pudding pie cups and I decided to try one out. It had whipped cream, cake, pudding, and the cherry filling which was pretty good. I don't think I will get it again, much to sweet and strong for me, but it was good for a one time spur of the moment thing. I had woken up late on Friday, so I didn't get to eat breakfast and I was pretty hungry after English.  I usually do not buy so much stuff at school. I think I am pretty much broke for the next week and a half which kind of sucks.

I've been in kind of a bad mood today, I get that way sometimes. It always passes, but I really don't like it. I probably should have payed more attention to church today for sure.  I went out and visited some of the people in my ward today with my visiting teaching companion. For those who are not familiar with what visiting teaching is it's when you have a female companion, and you are assigned to two different people (girls) and you visit them and talk and give a lesson about some gospel topic once a month.  It can be fun, not everyone's visiting teachers come though, like mine for example. Mine haven't come in over 2 months I'm pretty sure and believe me I hate it. I might just have to complain soon.

I'm still talking to Ronnie, but we haven't gotten to talk very often lately for the last month or so. His life has been pretty complicated and tough and stuff. I really wish I could do more, but he lives so far away it's hard. I really care about him a lot he is an amazing person.

Anyway, I guess this is all for now. If I forgot anything I'll just add it into tomorrows post. :)  <3

Brighter than Usual

My day today started in quite a hurry. Right after I woke up I had to get in the car to go to the eye doctor. I woke up about an hour before we were supposed to be there, but it takes about that long to drive there. I didn't even have time to eat breakfast, or change my clothes. I just got out of bed, turned off my radio alarm clock, grabbed my backpack, my phone and my purse and headed out the door. The sun wasn't even up yet by the time we left, the mountains were still blocking it. It was around 8am.

I just took out my phone and my ear buds, and turned on dubstep radio on Pandora. I was trying to wake up. I was still a little dazed, because I had only been asleep for 5 minutes by the time we left. My mom and I didn't really talk very much on the way there. I was mainly half dozing, half sleeping, just caught between being awake and asleep. Everything went by me so fast and time seemed to just zoom past me. The car ride didn't seem that long, but we were in the car for probably 45 minutes driving up to the office. By the time we got to my eye doctor's office the sun was up. 

We went inside, and and told the person at the front we were there, signed a couple things, provided the info for my insurance, and boring stuff like that.  We then were told to wait, so we sat in some nearby chairs. I was doing something on my phone, don't remember now, but I remember it wasn't a game or anything like that. I try not to do anything that can strain my eyes before I go to the eye doctor. I try to avoid anything that will mess with my eye doctor's ability to give me a good prescription for glasses. I don't war glass very often, but it is always good if I have an accurate pair just in case.

I was called into the office about 10 minutes after we sat down. He put that funny contraption up against my face, the one they use to see how far you can be corrected. He used that to do the right eye / left eye test where you read the letters that are a certain distance away first. Without correction I could only read the first letter with both my right and my left eyes. He then did the correction to the best of his ability and I had to go through the process where you hear a lot of "do you like 1 or 2 better". It's kind of hard for me to tell which one is clearer when I look through that thing because of my nystagmus. My nystagmus makes my eyes move around and it's hard to focus. I am glad he knows how to accurately tell my perscription even with my troubles. 

He put some numbing drops in my eyes, and then he did a pressure test. I then had a few other drops put in my eyes to dilate my eyes. I was then told to wait outside for a few minutes until they dilated.  I went outside the little room I was in and I waited there for what I think was 8 to 10 minutes. By the time I was called back into the little room it was very bright and I had put my sunglasses on. The doctors assistant or something turned the lights down, but it was still pretty bright.  After this we did another pressure test, and the doctor checked my eyes with this really bright light, actually he used more than one bright light, I think he did like 3 separate things. I have no idea what he was doing. One of those times he used that funny thing they use to check what your glasses prescription is and checked my eyes through there. It was at this time he checked to see what my correction was again. I think I only had to answer the 1 or 2 question like twice. He adjusted my prescription a little bit.

We were done after this. My vision with correction is 20/ 300 in one eye and 20 / 200 in the other. My prescription this time is a little bit stronger, but not much.  We left right after this, well right after we gave him this form I needed to have filled out for school proving m vision impairment so I can use the accessibility office at school if I need to. After we gave him that, he said he would fill it out and give it back to us sometime soon. We left after this. I grabbed some of the plastic shades first of course before I did this so it wouldn't be so bright.

I just listened to music and dozed off again while we were driving. When we got close to the school we started talking about where we wanted to go for lunch.  We decided on this little place called "Mimi's Cafe". I had never been there before, and my mom said it was good. I had their french toast a few years back at some kind of food fair, but that was about it.

When we went in they asked us if we wanted the breakfast menu, or the lunch menu. I had been wearing both my sunglasses, and the plastic ones I got at the office at the same time because it was so bright, I took off mine when we got there though.  We picked the lunch menu, and then they brought us to our table.  We sat down and I started looking over the menu. I decided on the strawberry banana shake for a drink, and it took me a few more minutes after I ordered the drink to decide what I wanted to eat.  My mom just got a water, and she ordered some kind of dipping platter for an appetizer. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken meal, it had sweet and sour chicken, rice, and vegetables. My mom got this pot roast dish, I forgot what else it had on it. After a few minutes we were brought our water, and the appetizer, and I was brought my shake. My shake was in a really cool tall glass and had whipped cream on top.  I should probably mention that it was made by a bartender. I thought that was kind of cool.

The appetizer had crispy chicken sticks, and some kind of zucchini sticks.  There was also 3 kinds of sauces, tomato, ranch, and I'm not quite sure what the 3rd one was but it was great. After we waited for a while longer we were brought the food we ordered.  Both of our dishes were great. I loved everything about my sweet and sour chicken, rice, and vegetables, and my mom's dish looked pretty professional looking as well. I was very glad we decided to g there, it was obviously high quality and they all did their jobs well. We just sat there talking and eating for a while, really enjoying our food and talking about a sports team that was sitting nearby us. We were trying to figure out what kind of school they were from. Later after they started to leave we noticed they were from another local school besides the one I go to.

After we were done we put the rest of our stuff in a take home box, paid, and then left. I got out my pair of shades and put them over the plastic ones again. 

We drove to school and my mom dropped me off at the library. I was wishing I had brought my cane right about then, because things were a bit more blurry than they usually are when my eyes were dilated, plus I had 2 pairs of shades on, so it was pretty different. I somehow managed to walk to my class without tripping or running into anyone. When I got to class we just discussed our essay and stuff, nothing that interesting.

Astronomy was awesome today, we talked about stuff like the movement of planets, more stuff about orbits, comets, and stuff like that. What really got my interest was when we went off on a tangent at the beginning of class when someone asked something about warp speed. The professor proceeded to tell us more about how warp speed works, and that they are getting closer to being able to achieve it for space travel. He explained what anti-matter is and how it works and stuff like that as well. My mind was so blown by the time class ended. I have a whole new level of hope for space travel in the future now. We also talked about other possibly inhabitable planets that are 40 or less light years away from us, and a few other space travel related things.

The room that astronomy is in is pretty dim, so I actually took off my sunglasses for a while, the plastic ones were starting to bug my ears a little. I was glad I got to take them off during astronomy, I was a lot more comfortable.  Also, there is usually a chair in the front I sit in, but I decided to sit somewhere else in one of the other chairs. I chose a really good spot and it was awesome the whole time I was there.  We are going to be using the planetarium again on Monday and are going to be simulating more stars and stuff. I think if it is anything like last time we used the planetarium it is going to be awesome. 

After class ended I walked to the library where I usually wait for my ride and called my mom. I was going to go to Jamba Juice while I was waiting, but changed my mind. I was craving a smoothie but decided to make one myself when I got home.  It took my mom a while to get to the school to pick me up, I was only wearing one pair of shades by this time, things weren't as bright by the time school was over. 

I dozed off again on my way back home, I was pretty tired. Nothing much happened after school. I ate some pineapple, and just hung around the house looking through our new cable channels, watching anime, and working on homework. We had bought the pineapple a few days earlier and it was getting to be a little too ripe, I was the only one that noticed this, and it was just in time too! 

It took my eyes another hour or two for the brightness to wear off.I am a little bit behind in English, so I am mostly going to be working on catching up and working on my essay and upcoming astronomy quizzes. I really hope this will not be a boring weekend.  Anyway, I am probably going to go back to reading manga or something, so I'll write more later. Sorry for the lack of updates.

Mixed Feelings

Bleh, I have mixed feelings about today. It's been kind of crazy.

My day started off as pretty normal. I got up and washed my hair, got ready for school, the normal stuff. I actually had milk and peanut butter cookies for breakfast today though, that was different. I forgot to submit a short English assignment for my class, so I did that really quick before school. My sister had a doctor's appointment and she had to leave for a while. I played Destiny Online, listened to music, and submitted that assignment before she got back.

She didn't come back until 10 minutes before class was about to start, we had to hurry to the school. I was feeling kind of neutral abou this situation. I really wasn't that upset about it because my teacher really doesn't make a big deal about me being late. It couldn't be helped today. I was pretty quiet as usual in the car today, I usually do not talk very much when I am in the car. I like to think about stuff when I am moving around like that.  I kind of felt a little bad about having to be late, but it couldn't be helped, so I just tried to ignore this.

I got to my class 10 minutes late, I hurried as fast as I could all the way there and up the flights of stairs. I was pretty out of breath by the time I made it there and made sure I stopped by a drinking fountain right before because my mouth was dry.

The class itself, we just presented these lists, pretty easy lists to the class with our groups we have. We had a question (like ours was "Why is Fast food so popular?") we presented our list of reasons to the class and added details if we wanted. Other groups in class had other questions. It got pretty interesting.

I went to Astronomy afterward, and we talked about the different types of light, and what they effect and how they effect things and people and how they work as well. I accidentally got a little too comfortable for a little bit and almost fell asleep. My friend warned me that might happen haha. The class was really fun though, and interesting as always. We are taking a test in a week though, I'm kind of nervous for that.  I think I will do fine, because I love Astronomy, but I am still a little nervous, because it's a lot of info to take in. Sometimes I forget things. I am always kind of disappointed when class has to be over.

Anyway, today is Friday, so I had no fitness classes, so I was done after Astronomy.

I had a Fruit and nut bar for lunch and took some pictures (I"ll upload them in the morning). I decided I wanted to stay a big longer, so I found a good wifi spot, and watched an episode of Cake Boss. I like the atmosphere at school, so I usually end up staying a bit longer than I need to. I didn't call anyone until 40 minutes after my class had ended. Then it took my dad at least 25 minutes to get to the school and pick me up, so I wasn't home for a while.

I have just been listening to music, watching Cake Boss, playing Destiny online, surfing facebook, and just hanging around the house. After school I found out that one of my friends from Destiny Online was really mad at me for selling a pet he gave me on the game. I had no clue he was the one who gave me the pet, I thought it was just a random person, and so I didn't think about selling it. I felt bad afterwards and I have been trying to contact the person I sold it to to try and trade for a different pet, so I could get his back, but she hasn't answered. Something tells me she doesn't want to give it up and this has been a particular point of stress for me today. I know it is a game, but my friend was so mad at me and I really want to make things right. I once had a different pet on the game a long time ago and one of my other game friends sold that one when I was away, so I know how that feels. I was pretty attached to it as well. I know this sounds a bit silly, but my relationship with Destiny Online has always been unique compared to other games. Alll of us have always been close on the game, and have been through so much the 4 years it's been out. I have a ton of memories on there. I only started blogging on here 2 months before I joined the game. Some of my long disappearances from here have to do with me playing on there in the past. 

Anyway, so I had that to deal with, plus aunt flow decided to visit today **cough cough** , AND I got a really bad bloody nose earlier in the day. I always become kind of drained and a little moody after that happens. That mixed with the other thing made me feel kind of irritated today, and moody and stuff. I've been feeling weird. I guess that is expected though. Oh yeah, not to mention that I hadn't talked to Ronnie for almost 2 days, and this was making me go crazy as well. He is a really cool guy, another friend I met on DO, (If you didn't know that from my previous posts).  He only contacted me about an hour ago. I am so relieved to be talking to him again. I really have been feeling thrown around emotionally today, so I was honestly truly happy to talk to him again.

Anyway, I have pictures and stuff I am planning on adding tomorrow morning. I might add a few other thoughts and feelings too. I am pretty fried today, so I might have to add stuff tomorrow. :)

I'll wait to add the tags tomorrow to. :P

Ten Days Later

School has been going great for me. I am taking Yoga, Pilates, Astronomy, and English. So far over the past 10 days ssince school has really kicked into gear it hasn't been too hard, in my non-fitness classes that is. My Yoga and Pilates classes have really been working me hard, but I am really enjoying it. I have an awesome teacher, he is really fun and exciting, and he explains everything well in my Yoga class. My Pilates teacher has been working us to death, and it is only the third week, so it is still pretty hard for me in both classes. I can tell I am already getting better at those classes.
Astronomy has been fun we have been learning all about orbit, eclipses, planets, stars, etc. I still need to go through the chapters and read 1 to 5 again because it hasn't quite sunk in. I"m not surprised that my brain has taken a little bit of time to wake up, I did just get up off of a 4 month break. In the classroom, in the center of the room there is this big planetarium dome. We just started doing stuff with that. He simulated the orbit of some planets, and solar and lunar eclipses. I think the dome is really awesome, even if it doesn't always behave. The first day something went wrong and the stars started moving rapidly in one direction and everyone felt like they were zipping through the universe, it was trippy. I really enjoy my teacher, he is fun to listen to and exciting and knows how to crack a good joke. He always saves a good seat for me because of my visual impairment, I think that is really nice.  He also lets me be late without docking me because my previous class (English) is so far away. I can't wait to tell you guys more about this class as it progresses.  There is a lot I don't understand right now, but I can get the hang of it.
I am in the bottom English class in the college. I am very rusty in English, surprisingly enough. I'm sure none of you expected that since I write so much.  I don't know how to do a lot of things, like write papers, my grammar isn't the best, and some other things. So far I am liking the class, we have just started out with simple things like recognizing similar words, learning about the different kinds of papers there are and how to write and order them, and some other stuff. The class his pretty easy to understand, but gives enough challenge that I learn, but am not overwhelmed. We have this journal we write different stuff from the textbook in like responses to questions, summarizing paragraphs, and some other stuff.  It's nothing too hard, but gives a healthy dose of challenge. My teacher is pretty easy to understand as well. There are a lot of people from different countries in my class as well, It get's pretty interesting sometimes, sometimes some of them talk a lot though and that can be annoying.
I got a locker for my stuff for when I am in my fitness classes, it is all the way on the other side of campus from where I usually am. I also have to go up a ton of stairs, so when I go to put my stuff in it it's kind of like a pre-workout. I have been loosing a steady 3 pounds a week since school started because of all my activity. I am feeling really good. It's kind of exhausting walking back and forth between two ends of the campus, but it is helping me get into good shape. Sometimes I am tempted to take the elevator up instead of all those stairs, but then I think of all the help they can be.
I have also been careful about what I have been eating. I make sure not to pack anything really sugary or unhealthy in my lunches.  I also make sure I take a lot of vitamins, and drink a lot of water. My mom is a health expert, so she helps me a lot.
It is still pretty hot over here, so most of my days at school my back is completely soaked with sweat. I know that is kind of gross to some people, but there isn't really anything I can do about it ha ha. I am just glad I am getting into better shape.
I made sure not to schedule any of my classes before 11am, so I get plenty of sleep. I sometimes have a problem with falling asleep a little late, so this is good this semester. I am still trying to get my sleep patterns back on. They aren't that hard to get back on a good time, I just don't feel like going to bed early sometimes haha.
For ward Family Home Evening we played games, and ate these really great home made scones, they were amazing. I ate like 3 of them. I had one with powdered sugar and strawberry jam, one with honey, and one with cinnamon sugar and a little bit of butter. they were so addicting. One of the games we played was this one where there was this disk handed around and it had a different thing on it and the person that was holing it had to give clues as to what it was that was written o the disk. The person, or team that guessed correctly got a point. Our team lost, but it was still pretty awesome.
We were supposed to have a pool party today, but then a thunderstorm came, so we decided to just play games and hang out and stuff.  The thunderstorm was amazing though, it produced some of the coolest lightning I have seen in a long time. There were so many long ones this time, and we finally got some much needed rain.

Anyway, I guess this is all for now. I have pictures and stuff I want to show, but I'll do that tomorrow. I'm pretty wiped out. I can't believe I typed this much without falling asleep haha.

First Day of School

So let me sum up my day for you. I went to my first class English, did one class and decided to take a different English class cuz I wasn't sure I could handle that one. The whole time I was in class I just had this nervous, uncomfortable feeling as we were goig over the syllabus. My teacher was pretty nice, but I could tell that that class wasn't going to be the one for me right now. I had to run around asking people if it would screw up anything to switch to the other class. (I was in English 990, but had to downgrade to 890). By the time I got everything figured out it was already 12:46 and my new English class is scheduled at noon. So, I missed the entire first day of my other English class. It took me a while to find the person that clearly explained everything to me, the others were like all so confusing. 

I was upset upset because I was planning on saving that hour for choir.  

I was feeling quite irritated. I then got lost on my way to Astronomy and got there late, had to sit on the floor because it was too dark to see if there was any seats left. My teacher just let me sit there. We took a short pre-test, and filled out a little sheet of info about ourselves. Right before lass I noticed that Darik had texted me, it kinda threw me for a loop, but i'll talk about that more later in my next "Twin Dilemma' part (Part 4)

I had an hour between classes after Astronomy and spent it talking to the teacher of the choir I WAS going to be in but couldn't because of my english conflict. I have Tuesday and thursday at noon open, but he said I couldn't take the class half of the time because it wasn't fair to those people who could take it every day. So I just ended up giving up on that idea of being in the show choir at the Institute of Religion.

After this I ate lunch, I had SubWay with a Mango Mandarin Sobe Lifewater. I then went to Pilates and nothing much happened besides the class was explained. I went to go buy my books from the bookstore after this and the line was SO FREAKING LONG, but I lived. I then called my dad and he picked me up. I just surfed the net on my iphone until he got there. 

Even though my day started out so crazy, I still think I am going to have a great time in school. 

After school I opened Destiny online and started the robot. The game has a training robot that makes it so you don't have to do all the grinding. 

I talked to my friend Ronnie for a while, but he had to go do some stuff with his computer and some other stuff. I actually fell asleep for like 2 hours while he was away. We have been talking for most of the evening. I met him on Destiny Online, he is a really awesome person. We just started talking to each other like last week a lot. We have known each other for a few years though. He is a really easy person to talk to, I really enjoy talking to him a lot. One of the days we talked we talked for 7 hours straight, like way past midnight, it was insane. 

Anyway, other than this nothing much has happened. I unwrapped my books and stuff and put them in my bag, ate dinner, and have just been watching movies, and listening to music and stuff. 

My friend Sarah mentioned this movie called "A Cinderella Story", I was interested and actually watched it. Not my favorite, but I guess it was decent. Sarah is another friend I met online, we are like super close. She is one of the very few people I actually talk to on the phone. I usually hate talking on the phone, but she is one of the very few exceptions. 

I know I haven't written for like 3 weeks, sorry about that. You don't have to worry about missing anything, I'll tell everything soon. I've pretty much organized everything inside my head so I can tell it properly. SO much stuff has happened since my last big post. 

Anyway, this is all for now. I have pictures and stuff I want to put up, but i'll add them tomorrow. :)

One more thing, I always watch this as a tradition  on the first day of school.
