Summer

Summer means different things to different people. What does summer mean to you? For me it means searching for a job, working on school, getting in shape (don't laugh, it's going to happen), juggling schedules of different camps and such, and seeing family. This summer has been insane. (Yes, I know it's only been a day.) Let's rewind a little bit. Older than me one graduated. HE GRADUATED! It makes me happy for him. He's going on to new adventures in his life. It makes me sad. This next school year will be the first of my school years that I have not had him around after school. The other thing that worries me is that makes me the oldest in the house. It's never a good thing. The oldest child in this house usually has the most conflicts with life. And the beginning of senior year also has lots of stress with applying for colleges and stuff. Don't worry, I might die, but I'll be fine. :) The night before graduation, Fat Suit and I went and did a photo shoot together. I did the make-up, and it wasn't all that great cuz it was so on the spot, but it ened up looking pretty cool. I'm in the process of editing them all. It's way fun, but way time consuming. My favorite so far is a picture of just my face, and I look like a demon. It's kinda freaky, but it's cool at the same time. Okay, moving on to the present. Yesterday was Memorial Day, as we all should know, so it meant hanging out with the fam. We went up to a park for a super extended family reunion. It was fun. There are some cousins who happen to be in town now, and they are super duper cute! As well as the cousins who live here who are moving soon. (Their little ones are super duper cute as well.) So the mom thinks it'd be a great idea to invite these families over for dinner. Then she invites the grandparents. Then other cousins from out of town are invited, and pretty soon, 31 people later, we are having a huge party at our house for dinner. It was pretty sweet. I neve would have had the courage to plan a party that big in a couple hours like she did. Go THE MOM! She's pretty awesome. And, that's all for today. Go summer.

Music 'n' Stuff

The end of the school year. Yes, it's torture, but no, it can't be avoided. So, some stuff I've been up to. Remember when I posted a while back about the cello ensamble I'm going to be a part of? Well, my small group met for the first time last week, and I'm super excited. Not only is the music as awesome as I dreamed, but the group really seemed to work well. We were missing one guy, but it's lifeguard training season, and he's a lifeguard, so he was busy. That seems to bode well for him though, a cello-playing lifeguard. It's like somebody took me and older than me one and mushed us together. I'm very excited. We're meeting again next week to get the rest of our music, and hopefully name ourselves and come up with costume ideas and stuff. SUPER 'CITED! I love music. I don't know if I have said that yet. I LOVE MUSIC!!!!! Other happenings, school is almost over. Graduation is this week, so that'll be fun. Plus, I did the math, and I figured out that if I even get a 50% on my last final, I'll end up with an A in the class (unless the points are weighted, which I'm pretty sure they're not). So I'm basically done with school this year. No, I haven't gotten a job. It's hard to find time to find one. And I'm scared. I'll do better at applying soon. Hm, what else? I have a cold. I went shopping for buisness like clothes, and found some really cute stuff. Late birthday present/early back to school shopping. (It was a lot of stuff.) Good times. I'm going to start running with the cross country team this summer. I'm frightened out of my mind. I love life, but it's busy with stuff. I love you all!!! (Especially Aunt Stephanie who comments a lot :D much love specially to you!)

Toothless, Brainless, or Footless

Toothless:
Younger than me one. wow. baby teeth do not come out of that child's mouth on their own. he got 4, yes 4, teeth pulled yesterday. poor child.
Brainless:
as you can tell by my last post, school is very hard right now, and my brain has malfunctioned. if that's too big of a word for you to understand (which it isn't), because today i didn't remember what it meant, mal means bad in spanish. and functioned means worked. my brain worked badly. it was a rough day. they were very nice when they explained it to me though. then i realized, i really do know what it means. so a little bit of brain overload happens at the end of the school year with a billion and one projects, a zillion tests and a kajillion things to do. right now i'm "working" on my inquiry project. i surveyed the orchestra at school. i don't know what to do to present. that's my main problem. so i'm blogging to give myself a brain break. there's a ballroom concert this weekend i'm involved in. the ballroom class i'm in is performing. i just finished learning the second routine today. i missed class yesterday for an AP test, and so my partner taught it to me after lunch. because the dance room had a class in it, we were dancing in the hall. we also didn't have music. it was strange feeling. but now i know the routine for the waltz. the other routine we're doing is a swing/cha-cha medley. it's fun. i like dancing. i haven't performed ballroom for several years though, so we'll see how it goes. in fact, i haven't performed purely dancing for several years. anyhow...i'm brain dead for a little while.

Really awesome sidenote: i learned how to say flamingo in sign language! i'm happy :D

Footless:
ok, so i actually do have feet, i'm just not convinced that they're doing their job right. i have discovered anew talent: falling over spontaneously. not sure why. not sure how. it just happens. i'm sure it's very entertaining to watch because i've been told so. just thought i'd share.
:) good luck to you all in all your endeavors. live long and prosper.

epic randomness

older than me one always knows when he needs a haircut, because he starts to get the "joseph smith" wings on the side of his head. mom thinks they're cute. but, it's also time for a haircut. that's all i have to say for now. thought of the day: smile, it makes you feel good!

i'm baaaaaaack!

so, thanks to my cousin emily, i'm blogging again! yay for emily!!! only, i haven't really figured out what to say today. um...halloween was yesterday. younger than me one was charlie brown...younger than me two was a knight--chain mail and all...younger than me three was the lolipop queen. mom was a bird i think. not really sure about that. she was probably a crow though. we have lots of candy in our house. yum. hm....school. wow. i just got done with a play, closing night was wednesday. auditons for the productions company musical are coming up this week on either wednesday or friday, and i can *almost* hit the note that i need to hit to get the part i want. it's lame. so, if anyone has any this-is-how-you-can-improve-your-range-quickly tips, they would be appriciated. i also took the act for the first time last weekend, and i felt really good about it...now i'm just waiting for my score nervously. i really hope that it's a good one. college is really freaking me out right about now. just because it is. um...yeah, can't think of much to say today. sorry. i'll do better on my next post. i'll probably be more alert. funny story, i didn't know about the time change today. that was fun. ok, in closing, i'd like to give an "inspiring" thought. Everything will turn out all right, even if it's not how you want it to turn out.

END OF TERM!!!!!!

it is officially the end of the term, and i made it through successfully! i'm so happy about it. i was all stressed the last couple days, but now i feel a lot better. also, it's spring today!!!!! i'm ecstatic about that. (i hope i spelled that right, but i've never been good at spelling.) that's all i have to say today. actually, i have a pop quiz for you! what significant event in my life happened on the day that 1) abraham lincoln was shot, 2) the titanic sunk, and 3) the day before tax day? be the first to answer, and you're awesomer than everyone else. :D

stuff

hm. yeah. sorry that it's been a month and a half since i last wrote...just not much stuff has happened. well, stuff has happened, just not stuff i know how to write about. school's going well. yeah. i'm getting better at driving. lots better. i bet i'll be able to pass my road test that i'll be taking in about a month. i went to bed at seven last night and didn't wake up until seven this morning. it was happy. i only woke up once during the night, so i'm pretty sure that the extra quilt i have on my bed (besides the sheets, quilt, and fleece blanket that i already have) is helping. :D it's a good quality quilt, homemade, so it's really warm, and kinda heavy. it's nice. also, i'm such a wimp. i've been doing planks the last couple days (and i only mean couple) and i'm extremely sore. this morning when i was trying to do them, i was sore enough, and my elbows hurt enough, that i was only able to hold them for twenty seconds....yeah, i'm a wimp, but at least i'm doing something. anyway. yeah. that's all i can think of. bye. :D

INSANITY!!!!

yes, i'm insanity...

and i think that people are funny. but i really don't have anything to say, so...

that's all.

Just Cuz I Felt Like It

i'm posting something today just cuz i felt like it. hm. and now, my mind is going blank, and i don't remember what to say. i drove yesterday. i'm getting lots better. i still haven't driven on state street or the freeway, but i'm feeling like that time is not too far away. although, actually thinking about doing it makes me nervous. hm. i like ice cream. and yummy smelling lotion. that's all i have to say for now.

just letting you know

i'm going to post as soon as i can! i've got a great story about burnt cookies that i never told you, and a story about curly fries, losing teeth, and lemonade. it's gonna be good, so just be patient until i have time to post again...but i have not forgotten you! i promise. :D

I'm Determined to Post SOMETHING Today

i just wasted four hours playing risk. yes, i won. yay! NEVER LET ME PLAY IT AGAIN! that's all for today.
:D
