Crazy and Crocheting

I suddenly realized today that sometimes I sing silently to myself. My mouth moves, but nothing comes out. It's cuz I'm not singing out loud, but I am singing in my mind. Most of the time the lyrics don't make sense, and they usually come from the dark abyss that claims to be my brain. Let me give you an example: "CD players always choose to hate me, but i can't really blame them cuz my stapler is crazy. You wouldn't want a water bottle full of green jello, no, cuz jello that is green is certainly not yellow." ...You get the idea. The great part is though, even though I'm not poetic, the tunes are usually all right. Not sure if I should have posted that to the internet.

Moving on, I learned how to crochet on tuesday night. I made a sunflower shaped wash cloth. I also started another one. I find myself letting my mind wander sometimes, and I'll just be picturing the path of the yarn through the stitch I'm using. If I had actually crocheted as many stitches as I've visualized, I would have a plethera of wash cloths. I really like it, despite that others sometimes make fun of me for being an old lady.

Inspirational thought: You can overcome the physical with the mental if you are really determined to.

Music, Lax, Food, and Learning

Ok, I'll admit it. I had very high hopes at the beginning of the year, but then I got busy and failed. So, I will now relate some things that I find ultra important. Number one, yesterday evening, I was involved in a concert called a Celebration of Cellos. A young girl had a dream to have a stage filled with cellos, and now, with grown kids herself, she's fulfilled her dream. I was concertmaster for part of the all cello orchestra, and I was the featured soloist for The Pink Panther. It was exciting, and I couldn't stop smiling. Number two, what have I said about lacrosse? I'm not sure. I am on the lacrosse team. It's my first year playing, but so far, I have started every game we've played. I play low defense. We won our first two games, but the last game that we played was not so good for us. Our whole team was having an off day. We'll work harder and do better in our next game. Also, our coach really likes to have secret meetings, not sure why, but she really enjoys them. Number three, I've been trying new recipies a lot lately. Yes, strange, but when I'm cooking for myself, I want to know what's fast and easy. And Yum. A couple weeks ago I made meat. I made crock pot Costa Vida style pork. It was delicious and easy, but after I cooked it, I realized something: I'm not a fan of pork. Today, I tried making homeade tortillas. They turned our really good, but I want to figure out how to make them full size rather than itty bitty so that I can actually use them for burritos. I practically survive off of those. I'll be doing some research, and some practice (look out family). What else? School's becoming really trying. Homework that is busywork is just awful! It's not that I'm sick of school, because whenever I'm there, I love it! I love learning new things. It's that I'm sick of homework. I'm sick of taking practice AP multiple choice tests, writing practice AP essays, going to boring concerts, and filling out forms about books I've read. I'm really good at doing the homework I enjoy. Physics homework always gets done on time, and the actual reading of the books always happens fast. But the boring stuff, simply put, is a lot harder for me to do. Is this senioritis? I believe so. If I'm gonna do homework, it's going to be something I enjoy. I feel like I'm getting long winded, so I guess I'll just end abruptly now.
