Phone calls...

My parents just got a phone call from the school saying I cut class. I was like, what?!

I knew what had happened too. I came late to my seventh period (with a pass I might add), and I guess my teacher never marked me present. So now I have to go down to the office and whatnot, and solve this problem. I mean, come on. This is ridiculous. I was there, with a pass. That should not create work for me. I think that the school should come up with an online pass for students, so that it's not just a slip of paper that teachers don't even look at, and the online pass could go right into the attendence website or whatever they use. I think that would solve a lot of problems.

Anyway, tomorrow will be fun, with getting this cleared.

Weekends

I love weekends. So much. I can just hang out with friends, sleep, sleep, and sleep. It's pretty much perfection.

I don't even have that much homework this weekend!

I think that this will be a really fun weekend, because I'm pretty much just hanging out with friends the whole time! I am really excited because I feel like I haven't seen them in a while because we've all been so busy with school.

I had my speech for English last week and I think it went really well. Although everything that could go wrong, went wrong: someone walked in, the phone rang, my powerpoint misfunctioned. Hope I did well!

Ready to go have a great weekend!!

A Day Without My Best Budday

Yesterday was the second trial for Mock Trial and I was so pleased to my teammates and I perform the best I've seen them. And the best thing, I didn't really need to adapt and could talk.

My point? Well, on the way there, Mckenna and I were enjoying some pleasant song, "Invincible" by Adelitas Way to pump us up. (I sorta forced her to listen because it's good, but it's all good) Either way, I didn't take my iPod into the courthouse simply because I didn't want to lose it there and I have an irrational fear that my music will begin to blare and disrupt the trial. I left it in Rahul's car...after the trial, I was wondering where my iPod was and thought I put it in my backpack, so didn't pay much mind to it. We went to In-n-Out afterwards, but all the basketball players and  dancers and some cheerleaders were there... Eventually, when I got home, I realized that my beloved was lost. Nowhere to be found. I searched it more than three times thoroughly in my backpack and clothing and began to panic.

Everybody says that we're so dependent on technology, but I didn't think I was THAT attached to my iPod. Not only does it have like 25 (no joke, probably more) alarms on it to wake me, but it also has a Pandora app, which wakes me up. But with it gone, I realized how sad it was to not have it.

I feel really bad because I started texting Rahul at like 10:30 p.m. to tell him that my life was in his car, somewhere, lost. It was so distressing!

Do you know how hard it was to get out of bed? I didn't have my usual annoying alarms because Apple has yet to figure out that my alarms should be intertwined with Pandora, though Pandora often makes me angry. ALSO, I had to wake up especially early since I didn't do the AP US study guide, which was due first thing in the morning, but the day before, I had the information as a little note on my iPod. And because my iPod was gone, I had to restart! D:

But alas, Rahul has saved my everyday life! I feel sorta bad because I kept bugging him about it, but I just couldn't leave school without it. It would've been the most boring walk home ever!

Something relating to my best technological friend, I realized my headphones are much more genius than I thought it to be. I kept messing with this little block looking thing on my headphones and all of a sudden my music stopped. I played it again and kept playing with the block when my music stopped, again. But with a little working of my brain and I realized that it pauses the music! How genius. I would've never thought...

Anyways, my baby is resting (being charged) and I'm so glad it's back in my life because it's just too much without its luxury.

I really want a Hot Pocket right now...

I have absolutely no time! No time for nada. This four day weekend was nice, except I didn't do anything except draw (and now I have lots of homework). I find my first drawing to be somewhat disturbing and adorable at the same time, a deadly combination, haha. It's still in the works, I just have to do the background, which is giving me a hard time and some small details at the bottom. And then I'll be done and I'll get the "what the heck did you draw" look from my critics.

I started getting sick last week and I thought it'd turn into a nasty cold or something, but it went away. I'm sorta happy because of Mock Trial, but a little skeptical since my body never defeats an illness before it does it's damage. So maybe it may be lurking, waiting to strike, but for now, I'm healthy.

Anyways, my faith in humanity is lessening. I just want to bundle up in a blanket and eat some Red Velvet ice cream. I think people these days are focusing on the wrong things. Junior Prom? Hah. There were lots of people that took up the challenge to persuade me to go, but it seems they gave up five minutes afterwards. All I've gotten is the "you will go" speech, which doesn't do much for me, since you know, I'm not going.

But! Do not worry, something great has found it's way onto my Pandora, and redeemed all condemnation I have for pop music I have. The worst song of pretty much all time is that stupid stupid stupid "Payphone" song. Then, when it comes on the radio, they play a little clip of some stupid girl with some stupid high-pitched voice asking "So, uh, what's a payphone?" It's an absolutely grotesque situation. However, with my discovery of Fearless Records and their "Punk Goes Pop 5" CD, I have faith that the horrible-ness that is popular music can be redone and molded into greatness. Back to "Payphone," some new band redid the song and I must say, it's a thousand times better. Critics say there's too much screamo going on, but I say, there is not enough! Some band did "Little Lion Man," which I don't mind too much, besides the fact that it's overrated. The girl's voice, just ruined it...Maybe it's because I hate lady singers. They have nice voices and all, but there's something about their voice that makes me shake my head no. Sometimes I think that Pandora tests me, simply because they choose the most worst songs of all time and just throw it up in my ears. I obviously do not like those songs, I can thumb down a thousand songs and Pandora will again, just keep giving me the same songs.

Activism speech is coming up for me. I hate speeches. I just know that my cross examination is going to go horribly since people be tripping. I understand murder is murder and all that, but when you're a child, do you really grasp the situation? They must have felt that doing that was the best option (which it obviously wasn't), thus reinforcing my point that they can't handle their own brain processes. Urgh. Ugh. I've been meaning to blog more often, but my time budget doesn't allow for it. It's as if all my time is being sucked down the drain. Like money, time is!

AP Lit

Is it weird that I'm really really excited for AP Lit? Considering I pretty much read a book a week, I don't think the reading will be an issue, so I'm kind of excited to read all these books that I have always heard of, but never really wanted to read.

It'll be cool in twenty years to say, "Oh yeah, I read Antigone by Sophocles and Candide by Voltaire in high school."

Anyway, I am so excited. Yup. Looking forward to summer!!

Do you still believe in love?

For those out there who don't know, I am a recovering lovesick dumped gal on Valentines day(but I'm not complaining) I dated a guy seriously for a year and 7 months just to see him dump me last month(while we were on a date, at my favorite reastuant...) and then get with someone right after. Yes that isn't cheating but it might as well be called cheating because you KNOW they had a thing while you were still together. But that is not what this blog is about, I am getting over it because my heart breaks and heals slowly with time like most peoples...but rather this is about how breaking up is a wonderful thing. It has changed my life. Breaking up has helped me see my life anew, I see friends, family, and everyone I never really payed any attention to in an entirely new way. I don't need that complicated equation to be happy right now. Because I don't have the correct variable yet, haha :) But really though, I have silly simple conversations with strangers, with people I never used to talk to, with my family/friends, and that makes me so happy. Amazing people are out there, love is real, and sometimes love can live within a lot of other people and that is how people are happy being single. I am still getting used to it. I haven't been single since the 1st semester of Freshman year and now I'm almost a Senior. That is CRAZY. I really just need to focus on myself, prom dates are overrated because all I need is my best friend to have a good time. Ladies and gentleman, watch out. I just started doing Swim and I love it and it really helps get my mind off of things... I just swim and feel healthy and eat. My grades are still recovering from the downfall , but once I reached rock bottom the climb up is so healing that by the time I get to the top again I will be 10 times stronger with nothing holding me back. Love is so special, but heartbreak is something no one can avoid, and even when you think forever really means forever, life always has other plans...I know I deserve better. I know that I can't be with someone that holds me back, and I hurt a lot of people being with him and I didn't realize it until now. AKA FRIENDS OVER BOY/GIRLFRIENDS PEOPLE. Friends are FOREVER. Not your high school relationships. So stop mistreating your friends just because you have someone to say 'I love you' to. Because friends will be there for you when your heart gets broken. Friends and family are the real FOREVER <3

I don't know

I could not for the life of me create a fantastic title for this blog. I'm pretty sure no one other than me will read this either, because of my boring posting and title. I just figured I have a small fraction of free time so I decided to blog. Its raining today! I'm kinda happy because I like rain, in small amounts that is. I like it when rain is just kinda misty or only little drops of water fall delicately on your face and you don't have to wear a hood. Its just sort of peaceful, in a way, I like it. Today in my English class we got three tests back (talk about stressful!) I got back a vocabulary test, and two Night tests. I did surprisingly well! I'm so proud of myself. I only missed one on the vocab test, got an 84% on the first Night test and 91% on the second one! I just about freaked out and wiggled in my seat with happiness once I saw my score. I couldn't believe it, haha! I thought I did really horrible on the second Night test because there were some parts on the test that I didn't study enough, so I was really worried. I proved myself wrong though! I love that feeling. It doesn't happen very often.

Swim...

So swim started... I was at school at 5:30am this morning for practice. I usually get up at 7. You have no idea how tired I am right now. At least it's not like I spend hours getting ready, and practice cuts into my morning routine.

I actually like morning practice better though, because at least it's over with, but walking around all day with hair smelling like chlorine is not a good thing. And I'm not dreading it all day.

Having not swam since freshman year, like not actually swimming a single lap for two years, I am so sore. My shoulder joint area hurts just because it is not used to much use. At all. Karate uses very different muscles than swimming, and I can tell. Ouch.

Hopefully further into the season, swim will bring less pain.

Another problem that I'll have to deal with is balancing school, karate, and swim. I guess I'll have to sleep a lot less. Or just manage my time better somehow.

I feel like this semester is easier than last semester so far, so hopefully I'll be able to balance it with sports. But AP testing is this semester, so I really have to start studying. Only 16 weeks left!

BBQ Chip Microwave

I am extremely hungry as of now. I want something simple, something easy to make. So of course, knowing my mother, she always leaves her coffee in the microwave, which I don't particularly like because first of all, coffee doesn't smell that swell. I mean, I'll enjoy it sometimes, but other times, I can't handle the smell. Second, it's just eh. Either way, I took her coffee out of the microwave and left the door to the microwave open so the smell can dissipate or do whatever smells do.

What's weird was that, I smelled something really good. And I was like oh man, it smells like BBQ chips. And BBQ chips are just AMAZING. Like oh my, it's one of the foods that makes me the happiest, besides refrigerated glazed donuts. :O I'm so hungry... Anyways, kept smelling the delicious odor coming from my microwave and now I am craving like no other.

Nothing particularly dampening happened within the past few weeks or months really. Trying to get blog integrated, which I'm sure people will hate me for, but come on out and hate, because that's what I love to blog about. But let's face it, blogging is the easiest thing to do, literally, all you guys have to do is talk about your day, bad or good. It's kind of like having a peer counselor, except everybody that knows about the blog can see it.
