Days 23-28 Birthdays and Esther

Hey so. I just DON'T want to blog. I just don't. I haven't been able to at all this week because school started and I was sososo busy with homework and stuff. And then yesterday and today I just didn't want to blog. I can't bring up the energy. It's not that I'm tired... I'm just... not in the mindset to blog or whatever.

But BEDA is almost over and I feel like I should at least TRY to write SOMETHING.

Soo... school started. It's been hard. So much freaking work, and it's only been a week. Tomorrow is Sunday, and I'm going to be spending the whole day working.

I think I'm going to like this year in terms of school though. I mean, it's going to kill me. But I really like most of my teachers and classes, even though they're challenging. And I like driving to school and stuff, I like being in more control of my transportation and not having to depend on someone else for it.

Mockingjay came out and I've been sososo excited for it, and I have it but I haven't been able to read much of it because of school. But I'm trying. Slowly but surely.

John Green's birthday was the 24th. I always like to mention or celebrate in some small way when it's his birthday, since he's seriously had this huge impact on my life. Also, it's so close to my birthday, and it just feels like an important day.

The day after, Esther Earl passed away of cancer, the 25th. I saw what had happened on tumblr and twitter that day when I got home from school, and I was shocked. I'd heard about her and seen her around the internet, and watched a couple of her videos. But her death... I didn't think that it would affect me like it did. She really was an amazing person. I just... I have no words.

The day after that was my birthday, the 26th. At first it seemed like it wasn't going to be a good day, but then I ended up seeing some friends and it was fun, and I just kept thinking of John's birthday and then Esther and the nerdfighters and everything that had happened and how lucky I am.

It was a crazy week, full of a ton of mixed emotions, and no time to let anything sink in. It's all kind of a blur.

I'm happy for all of the people I saw and thankful for the gifts that I got for my birthday, and I'm thankful for the Green brothers and the nerdfighters and just for everyone in the whole community I'm a part of, and Esther reminded me of that.

And I never met her, but I'm never going to forget her.

Days 21+22

I missed yesterday. Oh well. I don't really care all that much at this point.

Okay so I love driving by myself! Like before I got my license, and even after getting my license when I drove with my parents, it was always like I was going to get critiqued or something. But driving by myself, it's like therapeutic. It calms you down. I don't know. Unless you're lost, then I'm guessing it's not.

Yesterday driving back from my friend's house it was dark outside and I accidentally got on the wrong freeway entrance. There are two really close to each other, going to I think the same freeway, but in opposite directions. So when I got on and realized I was going the wrong way, I had a mini heart attack that lasted for like half a second. And then I realized I still knew how to get home. Crisis averted :D haha

Yesterday was full of firsts! I'm not going to get into it though.

Also, okay so I got my hair redyed yesterday but he did it darker than usual and at first I didn't like it but I don't really mind it now. It's not really a big deal because it's still close to the same red, just darker, and after washing it a few times it will be back to normal. It's just the first time I ever dyed my hair (other than highlights) it was reeeeally dark and almost looked purple, and I really didn't like it. And I was nervous because I didn't want to like relive that. But it's not that color at all. And I got a lot of reading done at the hair place!

This morning my mom, Kelly, and I helped at this back-to-school event thing for HIV positive kids. Kelly and I served ice cream sundaes, it was fun! I didn't know anyone else there, but everyone was really nice, all the volunteers were groups from different churches or schools or something like that.

School starts TOMORROW. It's crazy. I finished all of my homework two days ago, but I have a lot a LOT of reading to do for the rest of the day. It's around five right now, and I plan on spending the last few hours of summer cooped up in my room reading. Or maybe I'll go to the park or something. And read there obviously. I don't know. Also I want to make these things for my binders but I have to finish this book before I do that.

Soo good bye now
:D

Days 17-20

soo..
sorry.
I missed, what, three days?
and this post is going to suck too

I don't know, maybe I should just give up. Nooo I won't do that. It doesn't really matter if I suck.

Okay so the past couple of days I've just been home and doing homework and other stuff. I've spent waaaay too much time on tumblr. But I have gotten a lot of reading and homework done! Two days left, and about 250 pages more to read, and two more articles to summarize. I'm going to do some of both after this post though.

I got a CAR! I'm so happy. My birthday is in like a week, so it's basically my present. We weren't sure if we were going to get one, but my parents found a good deal on a used car so we did =] It'll be easier on them, not having to always drive Kelly and I around. And of course I'm happy I have a car :D

School starts on Monday, and I'm probably just going to spend the last couple days of summer not doing a lot, just working and reading and stuff. Maybe see some friends. I don't know, nothing much. I'm definitely not excited for school to start, but it had to at some point I guess. The summer has been fun =] it hasn't exactly gone by fast, but not slowly either. It's always weird when something you've spent so much time looking forward to ends.

I'm going to go now because I have stuff to do.

bye!
:D

Day 16

Oh god. School starts so soon. It's crazy. One week from now. Tomorrow we have orientation. Kill me noowww D: I mean, school is okay I guess. Except for the crazy amount of WORK that is going to pile on top of me until I suffocate and DIE. Junior year. yaaaay

In other news, I actually did like half of my homework today! So yay for being productive :D I'm thinking tomorrow I'll do the other half, and then I'll just spend the next five days after that reading. And hopefully hopefully HOPEFULLY I'll finish in time.

My camera is no better than it was yesterday. It's like spazzing out and just... not working properly. I told my dad I think we should just go somewhere and hopefully get it fixed. That'll probably be expensive though. That damn ENERGY DRINK just had to spill in my bag...

Also, the chances of me getting a car are getting higher! My parents and I (well mostly my parents) have been looking at used cars and such, and today they went out and found some potential ones. It'll basically be easier for all of us if I have a car.

I have NOTHING TO SAY like ALWAYS. Because I'm BORING. I mean today I've just been listening to music and doing homework and watching youtube. Oh, and I played piano! That was fun.

10 days until my birthday!
So that's exciting

I'm going to GO now because this post just sucks. Hopefully tomorrow I'll actually think of a TOPIC or something

g'bye
:D

Day 15- work and tumblr and sorry I'm so BORING

I'm just not even going to give an update on my homework. It's just too pathetic to talk about.
Somehow, even though I was PLANNING on staying home all last week to do homework, I ended up barely at home and definitely NOT working.

Basically, I suck. End of story.

Haha soo today, I stayed home all day and managed to yet AGAIN not get anything done. I woke up this morning and went to video ministry. (Basically I help videotape church). And then I came home and went on the internet for a couple hours. And then I fell asleep, and didn't wake up again until like 6. Haha oops

I actually AM going to get some work done after this post though. I know I say that every time, and it's barely true half the time, but I actually am! I swear :D I have to watch this movie for APES and do work that goes with it. And I have the movie right in front of me, which we just rented from blockbuster about an hour ago.

I have nothing more to blog about. I am a boring person. Or at least a boring blogger. Also, a lazy one.

Also I've become addicted to Tumblr. Sorry blogspot, I don't mean to betray you or anything. But I have. And I mean, I've had a Tumblr for a looonng time, but I've always just been a casual tumblr person. But lately I've been spending more time on it, actually checking it like I check twitter (every day), and reblogging and stuff. It's not like I like it more than blogspot. It's just very different.

Alright I'm done. More tomorrow. Bye

:D

Days 12+13+14

I SUCK, I know. I missed two days. I'm terrible. And also I have no excuse. Day 12 I was home all day, trying to work. I just did NOT feel like blogging at all I guess, I didn't really feel like doing anything that day. And then yesterday I was out all day, but I could have written a short post or something that night. Oh well. Didn't happen. Oops.

Okay so yesterday I went to Universal Studios and city walk with some school friends! It was really fun. Also- I got a Doctor Who patch! Of like the logo of the classic series. I'm going to put it on my school blazer, even though I don't think we're allowed to. Fuck it, if we can put pins we might as well be allowed to put patches. And it's fucking Doctor Who :D

And I also got a Hunger Games tshirt! They had a whole section of Hunger Games stuff at Hot Topic, I'm surprised. I didn't know the books had gotten so popular. Speaking of which I'm SO FUCKING EXCITED FOR MOCKINGJAY! August 24th, two days before my birthday :D

And then today I went with some other friends to Venice Beach. It was funn =] it was an adventure. We kind of got in a car accident and had to wait on the side of the freeway for a looong time and I the whole time I was just trying to stay awake. Also- I rode in a police car!

Ugh a big energy drink spilled inside of my bag. Everything, including my bag, was covered in this like bright pink drink, and smelled fruity. And the worst part is my camera was in my bag. I checked inside of it and everything, taking off the lense and making sure it was all dry in there, which it was, but I'm still worried about it. It's not turning on. My dad has it right now and is trying to fix it I think.

And I REALLY don't feel like blogging right now, so I think I'm going to stop. I get really really nervous for some things that I shouldn't really be worried about at all, and right now I'm just like really anxious and like jittery and UGH it sucks. I kind of feel sick from it. I think I need to just sleep or watch something and not THINK until tomorrow, because I hate this. So I'm leaving. Bye

Day 10+11- ADVENTURES and CELLULITIS

Alright so I missed another day. ssooorrryyyy. to the zero people reading this

Reason I missed: I was at my friend's house. No really I didn't go on the internet at ALL yesterday, except for like ten minutes on facebook at my friends house. And I slept over, and then spent like half of today over there too. Not that I'm making excuses or anything :D

And oohhh boy. It was a fun day-and-a-half. I don't really want to explain it all out but basically it was an adventure :D. It involved a LONG ASS HIKE through like the desert that none of us were ready for, lots and lots of sneaking around, lots and lots of illegal driving, sneaking out at night, GETTING CAUGHT sneaking out at night, waiting for Ryan to finish his FREAKING TACO while we were sitting there in the Jack in the Box parking lot getting in more trouble by the MINUTE, lots of yelling, a couple pissed off parents, lots saying sorry, lots of actually BEING sorry (and also lots of not meaning it at all), lots of silently LAUGHING our ASSES off, lots of "oh hellllllll naaaawwww" from Ryan, lots of bickering from Alex and Becca, lots of watching people fight from me. Haha but it was fun, which is all that matters right? hahaha :}

Also apparently I seem INNOCENT to people. Well, that actually doesn't surprise me. I mean I kind of am. Well, it depends. haha nevermind

Oh yeah and then the next day when Alex and I took the metro to LA we saw Gwen Stephani! We didn't go up to her or anything, we just saw her from like across the street in China Town. Still cool, right? I didn't know if it was her but Alex swears it was. Sooo haha guess it was :D

But anyways, I was going to try to write my day 10 post at Alex's last night, but then we got in trouble and I didn't really want to ask Alex if I could go across the house to the computer when her mom was trying to sleep.

ANYWAYS so what else?

Oh! Okay so about a month and a half ago I my eye got this infection, according to the doctor, called cellulitus. Which automatically makes me think of cellulite, but I don't think it's the same thing. It started swelling up a little one day and then the next day when I woke up my eyelid was seriously swollen SHUT. That's when I went to the doctor, and they told me it was cellulitis and gave me pills for it. It went away in a couple days, which was good because I had my dance show that weekend.

So I woke up this morning at Alex's and my eye, my OTHER eye, was a little swollen. It looked like how it had looked last time, on the first day when it wasn't that bad. But I kind of freaked out because I didn't want it to get as bad as last time, so after hanging out with Alex and all that, I went to the doctor. She gave me eye drops for it. So far it hasn't gotten any worse, whereas last time by this time it had gotten a lot bigger. So hopefully it just gets better and not worse from here this time.

Okay- school work review. Other than a little bit of reading at Alex's house, I've gotten almost NOTHING done since the last post. I have like 400 pages left of the last book I have to read, and haven't done any of the work. Tomorrow I plan on actually getting some stuff done. We'll -um- see how that goes.

I guess that's all I have to say for now. Soo um, bye.

:D
