orientation

so i had orientation on wednesday. it seems i'll be taking math five days a week. for all of those that don't know how much i love math... it's gonna suck. i'll be doing spanish which is awesome cause i've been wanting to learn it. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand i have to take liberal arts which i don't really want to since apparently i won't be learning much. ah well.

woo for bagpipes!

i'm sick of bagpipes but.... our band won! in our grade. for one competition. but still, it's a big deal considering we've been getting second to last place lately. it's such a good feeling. i'm so sleepy. i haven't updated this in forever. sigh. yay for life!

contact improvisation. ????

haha ok sooooooo today i discovered something called contact improvisation.
it's the most bizarre dance i have ever seen. words can't even describe it. instead, here's a video.



is that not the randomest thing you've ever seen?

!!!!!

soooooo today i graduated. and i'm now officially out of high school. (but not really since i'm still doing school. still...) it's a good feeling. it's not like they can um, ungraduate me or something. it's an exciting feeling. i'm FREE! but not really...

pig

well, basically right now i'm going through pictures of my fetal pig dissection aaaaaaaaand after a while it's like "ok, is that a pancreas or a bladder?" it's hard to tell when everything's the same basic colors.. i would post pictures but.. i don't wanna gross peoples out. :)
anyhoo. i'm almost done with high school. it's a weird thought. i like high school buuut... i'm glad it's almost done. :)

paintball!

ok so maybe i'm dumb for being proud of my humongous welts, but they're my first big ones and the important thing is that even though they hurt, i didn't care too much. i was scared that once i got hit hard i wouldn't wanna play anymore but it's not true so w00t!

sigh...

I, my dear, cried a little today

When I saw how you’re throwing your life away.

Wasting it on petty things

Holding a match up to those wings

That took such a while to grow

COLUMBIA COLLEGE!

i heart columbia college. it's amazing. i'm not even going there and i think it's amazing. i went today for an honors thingie and i got to sit in an English 102 class and we got to discuss poetry (which i love) aaaaaaaand lunch is amazing aaand um... oh yes they were doing project hair care which means they cut off hair to give to people with cancer and i SO wanna do it! in two years... when i actually have... hair... and something else really awesome happened and i totally forgot what....uh.....OH YES! the bookshop sells BURTS BEES PRODUCTS! WOOT! i'm in love with burt's bees and pretty much that made me happy. even happier than i already was. yips!

ok, so take a wild guess at how blonde i am...

well, i'm pretty much something. idk what. yesterday i had to deposit a few checks so mum's all like "if you go up richland from huger st, then you just take a left into the drive through bank." easy as pie. i could do that. so i turn onto richland i'm driving along and all of a sudden there's a big house right where i want to drive. ya know, that big white one that the governor lives in? well, it's not like there's any thru way or anything so i have to go around it. this turns me around slightly, however i manage to find my way back to richland. so i'm driving down looking for a drive through banking area on the right this time (cause i'm coming from the opposite direction. how smart am i?) and i drive into the exit bit because there's an arrow pointing into it and i don't see the exit sign. i back out and go into the entrance and with a sigh of relief take out the canister and put in the money. the lady on the other side of the window looks at me funny and says "ma'am, i think you're looking for bank of america..." and i'm like "??" and she says "this is security federal" and i'm like ?!?!?!?!?! so i have no idea how i managed to go to security federal... i did finally manage to find the place however... yay for blondes! except for i'm not. alas...

oh MY GOSH! here is the cutest video evah!

it's like they're saying "hmm, he's jumping, and he's cool, so maybe if i jump, i'll be cool too..." notice the total peer pressure going on here peoples. but still precious anyways. :D and it seems i am bleeding on my forhead... hmm... bandaid...

SHOWER!

i love hot showers. especially after i've sweated gallons. however, i hate when i don't notice that someone's left up the little thingie that switches it from bath to shower. whatever it's called. so i turn on the water and i get blasted with (usually) freezing cold water. it's pretty annoying. and you'd think i'd remember to check since certain people (*cough*dad*cough*) leave it up ALL THE TIME. ah well.
go working out and burning calories then coming home and eating the same number of calories in m&ms...

death and tags

my trip to NJ was amazing btw, but i shall (maybe) say more about another time. i've noticed recently that i have a morbid sense of humor. for example, i like watching Happy Tree Friends
and watching The Last Duet on Earth totally cracked me up. idk what's wrong with me. alas. ok, i was tagged so now i have to tag um, 7 other people i think? so if you've been tagged already... forgive me. especially if you have no idea who i am. thanks! :) i just realized, idk even how to tag so yup. it shan't even matter.

super excitedness

wow. wowowow. i just got an email from Columbia College and they told me that i have received a scholarship that only goes to 5 of the top students in the freshman body. i never expected to get it because i was so quiet during the interview but now i'm like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was literally running around the house crying and screaming from excitedness. God is good.

monster house

for those of you who haven't seen the monster house next door that's totally ruined a perfectly good lot (once full of wonderful clover and grass) here it is. 

today they started tearing off the sideboards and roof. why don't they just burn it? 

partial pressure and peppermint patties

today i have been reading about partial pressure and respiration and such.

but i get distracted very easily so instead of doing that, or even this

i flattened out a york peppermint patty wrapper to look like this 

i'm so distracted. 

saturdays

i love saturdays. there's something about waking up on a saturday morning and thinking "ah... the weekend" although for some reason even though i try to relax saturdays i always end up doing a ton of stuff. i need to work on my prioritizing... today i got to experience a mcalister sandwich for the first time in a long time. yum..... and i got to play madlibs with abby which was pretty much awesome. and then i got to drive in the rain. and i got honked at cause i didn't realize it was a first come first serve intersection. i thought left turns yielded. i'm a confused person. and i'm addicted to chikfila icecream. i actually went into chikfila to get some and then i got sidetracked talking to peeps and walked out without it... *rolls eyes and slaps forhead* i coulda had a V8.

woot!

well, today for the first time i did the drive through deposit thingie at the bank. it was very... unexciting. plus the driver's seat window doesn't work so i had to get out of the car. and it was kinda hot. by i wasn't wearing hot clothes so i'm good. i think one of my favorite things to do is read about celebrities. but only if it's something interesting. i'm a faithful reader of nash trash at wnok.com cause he usually has pretty interesting stories. i can't help myself, reading about the misfortunes of others is somehow entertaining to me. but i think if they were regular people i wouldn't laugh at them, although some of them do such... dumb things so i dunno if normal people are capable...

PISTACHIOS!

i love pistachios. i got a bag for easter and i've been eating them pretty much non-stop. i'm down to the last few which are the hardest to open, therefor i have to use my teeth to crack them open which can be slightly... painful at times. however, they're totally worth the pain, but super salty so i have to force myself to stop so i don't totally pucker my mouth up and all that. plus, my tongue got an acid bump which kinda hurts... but other than that they're amazing! and my new camera is coming in tomorrow which i'm super excited about, and my debit card came in today which is fun... *evil grin*. today i visited columbia college and became a student for a day (or a morning) and i got to sit in an anatomy and physiology class which i actually understood and i got to meet new people and reconnect with old one and it was an all around awesome experience. i then procrastinated the rest of the day. lovely eh?

PS. i just bit into a completely closed pistachio and it HURT. and then it turned out to be dry and crackly. but still yummy.

God

God continues to amaze me in ways I could never imagine. It's like, I pray for something but I don't expect it to happen, but it does. Why do I continue to doubt Him? I was feeling so depressed last night and I asked Him to take it away and this morning I woke up and I felt so at peace. I need to write it down so that if i feel discouraged then I can read about past experiences and feel good again. Wouldn't life be so much easier if everyone was perfect? Sigh... but we aren't. That is just something I'll have to get used to I guess. God is amazing though, and to not trust Him is the worst mistake that one can ever make. And yet I do nothing about it, there are so many people I know who don't know Him, and they have no idea what hell is actually like. Why can't I find the courage to talk to them? Maybe I shall get the courage one day.... pray for me! And if you have anything you need praying for, let me know and I shall definitely lift you up to our most amazing Heavenly Father.

weird confession

haha ok so here's something i noticed about myself. i don't think i'm conceited, but whenever i walk past a mirror, i'm like a little kid. i have to watch myself. i dunno if i'm trying to subconsciously make sure my hair is still ok, or if i want to make sure there's nothing in my teeth. i honestly don't know why i do it. or if i'm listening to music and singing along, i'll watch to see how i look when i sing. or something random like that. :) i dunno i guess i'm just really weird. well ok, i think that fact was established a while back. but still.

happiness and stuff

so i've been finishing all my schoolwork the last few days. that's a relief. i can actually sort of see the end in sight. 2 months. gosh time goes by fast. and yet it feels like only a year ago that i was a freshman in highschool. i remember back in the days of elementary and middle school i thought that i had so much school and it was so hard. those days i actually had afternoons and weekends free. these days i get to 10 at night and i'm like "yes! i'm done for today!" that's when i'm lucky. alas. we pay a price for becoming older. when i was little i'd look at 16 and 17 year olds and i'd be like "wow. they're so cool. i can't wait till i'm big like them" and now i am and it's like "what's so special about this again?" i mean, there were so many things i didn't know back then. my mind was clean. now it's a mish mash of random stuff, some of which i wish wasn't in there. ah well, i guess such is life. still. being old isn't all it's cracked up to be.

my first ramble

well, i figure i need somewhere to write down my thoughts. so i guess this works just as well as any plus i won't get addicted to it like i might with say, a facebook or something. today was... mediocre. i'm super tired and trying not let myself get stressed out. not to sound whiny or anything... :P so pretty much. hmm.. what else? my hair smells like rasberries..(sp) and that's about all i can think of for tonight so yup. chow peoples.
