Downtown

I haven't been to downtown in forever, or so it feels like, and I had forgotten how "wow" it is. I just got out of handbell practice and Daddy drove me to the LAPL. We were driving in the middle of all these streets with the sleek & magestic buildings looming over us; it was really... I don't know how to describe it but wow. Sometimes you just have to remember this simple stuff.

A talk with my friend [this looks really long, but it's worth reading]

I was IMing my friend and I somehow let out a ton of stuff, but it felt okay. I hope i don't come to regret it.... I don't think i will, i'm going to trust again, I'm going to really try.

This took a long time to fix...
I wonder what life is about to bring for me.

Study

Ok, so I studied for the global test (kinda, I guess, Hey! it's better then nothing!) and the damn scripture magazine has been turned in, so I can almost relax. I'm gonna study for English & do the assignment at lunch.
As you can see, i don't have much to say right now. It's wierd really, cuz if you get me started, I don't think I will be able to shut up. That's a problem I have to solve... Then again, I can be the shyest person. Not so shy that I'll shut myself out, just shy or intimidated that I won't say "Hi!" to people in the halls, and then I see someone smiling at me and I'll perk up and say "HI!" to them. And that makes me seem like a total bitch! Hell, I really dont mean it to come out that way, but I'm sure it must. No one has actually, told me that I'm a bitch, and I don't know shit of rumors, so I can't really hope that people are okay with what I do.

*Sigh* Aaaaahhh!

Sorry, wierd title, I know. I just feel like that at the moment. Life is strange, I am strange, I don't know what the hell is going on and nothing is really even happening! Like Ive said before, if I'm not even going through anything, just daily life, then what's it gonna be like when i have real problems? I am too sensitive, and lately i've been having a TON of moods swings. I swear, one minute I'm singing with my friends, the next i'm hugging myself on the grass. I must come off like a total bitch. Oh, I hope not, I like these people. They seem to be real friends. Maybe. I hope.

NO!

Damn, I finally get to log on and start this up and the bell rings! Darn it!

Madrigal Dinner!

So it's been a while since I posted, since I've done anything really, all cause of the MADRIGAL DINNER!!! It's a dinner theatre we hosted at our school, I was in the play, choir, and orchestra, so I was pretty busy. First, I'm in after-school choir & orchestra from 3-4pm, that's Mon. Wed. Orch; Tues. Thurs. Concert Choir. There goes four days, plus play practices were every day until six. It sounds like forever, but in reality it was only four hours... Anyways, when orch, all choirs, handchimes & actors did it together, practice was until 7pm. I'm so used to it though, now it's gonna be wierd not staying.

Thanksgiving Vacation

So, I actually got to stay home today. We had no school today, so that meant no practice till seven, and Mami felt sick so we're at home, and clean up won't start till later, much later (I hope) and OMC i actually have time to use the computer! Even if it's for culture project (although I'm kinda sneaking other stuff as you can see...) ;D

[Late] Happy Halloween!

Okay, so I guess I'm a little late in wishing you all a Happy Halloween, but I'll say it anyway: Happy Halloween!

Me looking a little dishivled by the end of the day. I was supposed to be a spiderweb.

So this was my first Halloween at RC, everything this year will be my first at RC really. It was pretty cool, almost everyone dressed up. I must say the best costumes were: K= a corn and some girl=the girl from 'The Ring', she did the walk and everything.

I told her "Cheese K, your costume is so corny" I just had to say it! :P

Later on that night we trick-or-treated by my 'abandoned nieghborhood'. I say that because we almost never get any trick-or-treaters. So then we went to where the real fun is, at my Tio Javi's, but it was pretty empty there too. At least I went to his almost nieghbor's house. She buys stuff from 'Oriental Express' and gives out these huge goody bags w/ lollipos and such.

I bought an EYE!

Hey, hey, lookit! I bought an eye!


It's this cool pendant for a necklace. I'd never seen anything like it before. It's something that just caught my eye [no pun inteneded if that could even be a pun] and I had to get it. It's kinda surprising actually, it's klind of freaky, but not.

Plus... It looks awesome on me!

Why wasn't I invited?

Yesterday I stayed at V's house after practice. We were bored so we called some friends We called them and they were all "Hi V!" So she said hi and mentioned that I was here. Then they suddenly said "I have to go, call you back". V was all "Oh I said you wer here and they hung up!" She were just joking, but I can't help but wonder if she's actually right... V's cool, I just keep wondering how we became friends. I mean the more I think about it, the more I realize how different we are. Don't get me wrong, she's a great friend and I really like her, but we have so many differences. She's one of those girls that just calls people on the phone to talk. Yes, that is normal sounding but I can't explain it better, sorry. She knows everyone, at our school & at other schools, in our grade & and above our grade. I know people at other schools (because they were from my school, how LAME am I? :( ) and other grades but not like her. She can get along with evryone but they don't even say hi to me when we pass in the hall, so I feel uncomfortable saying hi. Why are some people that way? And why aren't some?

32%

Yes people I am 32% zombie proof. That means

32%

I'm so Dead.

:P I was just taking some blogging tests, they are so wierd and random, you gotta love it! It's at justsayhi.com/bb !

Lunchtime

So, it's about the end of lunch right now. My legs feel a little better, but it'll be right back. It's wierd, because at the begining of F block, I was all *ugh*, but by the end I was having this debate on 'The Lady or the Tiger'. [She sooo sent him to the tiger!] I'm worried about how that looks though. What if people think I'm just some moody B? It's not like I'm going to go around telling them why I'm like this. How would that sound? "Oh yeah, I'm on Tom so I'll be totally in cramps, mood swings, fever, aching legs/stomach, about to barf, ect. Don't mind me." I really am in need of some Midol.

Before School

So here I am in the computer lab before school. I didin't feel like staying with the other girls right now. :/ I figured I could print something for a class, but it won't load. >:/
I feel so sick, Tom is paying me a visit. :( I don't like Tom. My legs and stomach hurt like heck.

Confirmation

Tomorow is my first confirmation class. Well, i went [late] to orientation, missed the first class, and now i'm going. It sounds boring, not that I think it's unimportant. I just figure they'll be talking about all the stuff I learned in religion class during middle school because the other ppls where in Public and didn't know it. By the way, the class is co-ed, yeah it not at RC. Maybe I'll meet someone there, I am trying not to be shy there, I sat next to a pretty cute guy last time. Ack, why do I care?! I am being brainwashed or something because I want a boyfriend. Why? I dunno. Ugh. Stupid high school.

They gave me a Big Boot

So I went to the doctors on Friday, so they could actually take a good look at my foot. And guess what? THey gave me a BIG BOOT! It is so... big!

the big boot

I'M IN PAIN!

I AM IN PAIN. A lot of PAIN. Guess what? I fractured my ankle. Do you know how hard it is to go around at RC in crutches?! VERY, very hard. OMC, it is in a hill, one of the steepest around; it is basically all stairs. I have to hop up the stairs! Literally, I am not abusing the word, ask any of the girls. I either must have looked really pathetic or just everyone here are really, really nice, because girls I didn't even know came up to me and helped me or at least offered.

So, you're probably wondering what happened. Daddy had tasken me and Dea to Souplantation. [I love that place! Their food rocks!] Outside their are some cement steps, and Dea climbed on. I was scared that she would fall, so I got on the bottom step. She didn't fall, but instead ran at me and accidentaly pushed me down. So I don't know how it happened, I just felt pain; then I opened my eyes and I was in the ivy bush. Daddy took me home and I put ice packs on it, but the swelling wouldn't go down. I went to the emergency room, got x-rays, and it turned out to be a fracture. There was this wierd crack in my bone [fibula] right where it connects toi my ankle bone. Ouch...

Update

So, I'm back from the retreat. Yep, the RC Frosh Retreat, cause I'm a freshman in High School now. [!]

As much as I hate to admit it, RC doesn't suck as much as I thought it would. [Don't let my parent's hear that! :D] It's just such a great enviornment.

Even though it will barely be a month since I started at RC, I'm already so busy. I am already in Mode, school magazine, the Madrigal Dinner [Concert/Choir/Play], all aspects of it: choir, orchestra, and I tried out for the play. Also, I'm in the book club, look at me I'm brown and nerdy! ;), book buddies, I go read to the first graders at Marg School, and art club. Here, you have to actually sign up for CSF, it's not a given. I have to get that from Ms.Tears.

So people. People. I've met a lot of people, and I've become friends with them too. I just don't know who to hang out with. I like them all, but what group should I stick with? I can't just be constantly rotating. Welll, I guess I just have to see what happens.

Creativity Classes

Ever since I was little, my parents would put me in all kinds of classes, and I mean a lot. I was in Karate class. My dad always wanted to be in Karate, but he's too embarassed to go now. I didn't like it much, I only went to one session. After me, he stuck Dea in it too, but she didn't stay either. :) I was also in Piano class. I started when I was 5. I was doing okay but, as always, I hated to practice. I stopped practicing after classes, and I comletly forgot how to play. :( My mom's side of the family likes to draw. It makes sense, when you consider my grandpa's job. My mom and I took Art/Painting classes together starting when I was 5. Then came Singing classes. I started when I was young, in Miss Kitty's class. There, I discovered I liked to sing, I liked it a lot. I am a shy person. Compared to a few years ago, I am outgoing now. My parents, wanting to help me be less shy, enrolled me in Acting classess. It was Stageworks, I liked that a lot too. One of the things that facinated me most was the improv. The people could come up with something funny and exciting right away! I always wished I could do that, I tried...and failed mostly. :} We have a music program at school and part of that program is the Choir. I never joined the children's choir, but Honor Choir put on a musical once a year. Thanks to my parents [They dragged me to many, many plays, and I liked it] and acting class I love Broadway and acting on the stage. I decided to join. Going hand in hand with the honor choir was Handbells. It's hard to explain what they are, so google it and you'll see. Also, I've always loved guitar and piano [more recently drums has been added to the list] so I wanted to learn how to play it. Since piano didn't go so well, I began taking Guitar lessons last October, it's great. Basically, those are the creativity classes I remember most.

It's too Hot!

Oh my God, I am going to fry. It is too hot here! I just checked the temprature and it's 105 farenhiet right now! How will I survive at school tomorow?!

On the way back from the airport, my cousin began to read Dea a Barbie book. It was just too funny. I don't know if the video is just funny to me, or if it's one of those "You had to have been there" things.

Pics of the Week

This is a pic from great new blog I found, you'll find a very funny post if you go to this web adress!

High Schooler

I have just finished my second day of High School. It's not too bad so far, though it is wierd to be without all the guys. [RC is an all girls school 'member?] Yes, the uniforms are ugly, because of the colors. They are pink, grey and maroon. *Yuck* I like the school pretty much, if you exclude the uniforms, lack of putting me in the class I wanted [Bio Honors, yes I qualified.] and lack of boys. I am not some boy-crazy girl, but still. Anyways, I'm sure I will want a boyfriend sometime, and then what'll I do?!

Today

Today was the yard sale. Yes, I have yard sales. What I don't sell, I donate. But I might as well make some money before I donate. Which in a way is donating, because they get it cheaper from me than the goodwill store. [25c, 50c or 1.00 for the most "expensive items] Their prices are pretty high. Actually, I'm not sure now, it's been such a long time since I went, there are no good ones by my house any more. Yes, I go to second-hand stores. Ever heard of the saying "One persons trash is another persons treasure"? [Okay so it's "one man's trash", but why be sexist?] I find great fabrics [So they don't really sell "fabrics" per say, but cut the shirt and you got fabric okay?] and stuff.

It's Saturday night. Tommorow is Sunday.

The day before Orientation.

High School Orientation. For High School. So that I can go to High School the next day, Tuesday.

Aaaaahhhhh!

This looks like my guitar...

Smilebox SeaWorld

I like to scrapbook, but since I don't have a scanner I can't publish my creations here, so I found SmileBox! I'll be putting more on in the future.

Blogs of Note

I was looking through all the "Blogs of Note" blogs right now, there are some pretty cool ones.
The ones that caught my eye:

• Keep Me In Suspense [yes, I'm in suspense!]
• 1000 Days Non-stop at Sea [can they do it?]
• TLLT [5 stars from me]
• lowercase L [explore the "phenomena"]
• Strangers Among Us [takes pictures of people yet manages to not come off like a stalker,]

Hot, hot, hot!

I love Orlando Bloom! He is HOT, and don't you dare say he is not! ;)

What a Dream!

Oh My Cheese! [It's my saying, I have a lot.] I had a dream last night. A good dream. A good, wonderfull dream. A good, wonderfull, awesome dream. One of those dreams where it feels so real that when you wake up you're like "wait, what?". You get the idea? Okay, so I dreamt it last night, so its getting a little fuzzy already. I remember that it started out as a kind of weird POTC thing. It was pretty cool because I was in it, actually doing stuff! I don't rememmber who I was exactlly, but I was either E or Me! That meant that he loved me! The part I remember most though, was the best part. Can you guess? Yes! Okay, so in part of the dream there was this other girl that wanted him, but he didn't want her, he loved me! So us and some of the crew were sitting by this short sea-wall thing and she went up to him and told basically told him to pop the question to her. [She wanted to be married to him] Everyone turned to look at him, I just held my breath and looked down. I knew he loved me, but still. He told her no effin way, in such a kind way though, I don't think he can be mean. She looked kind of shocked. [Then I have no idea what happened to her, I lost total interest in anything else, you would to, just read on] He turned to me and said he loved me and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me! [I don't remeember the exact words, but that was the main message] Then [the best part!] he kissed me!!!!! We held each other and kissed. I could just feel the love radiating out of us, my love for him, his for mine. It was like one of those kisses in the movies where you're thinking, how can they be kissing like that, and for so long? I understand now, in dreamworld anyway. Now, I'm not so sure that it was actually him at the end, I couldn't actually see, I was closing my eyes when I kissed. Not that I think it turned into another person from my dream, but maybe... I didn't know my head could come up with such wonderfull things. You know, I've never had a dream like this before. I wonder [wish is more like it] if it's a sign?

[I'm not just a dreamer, I don't sit around dreaming of what could be, I try to make it happen, mostly. This dream, was just to good to forget though!]

One Week Left!

Oh no! Only one week of freedom is left! Summer is almost over! I start High School on Monday the 27! Actually, Monday is Freshman Orientation, but same diff. I got a "formal" invatation in the mail for it yesterday. I feel bad for the person who had to make all those invites, they were handmade, but she did a really nice job on them. I know it was a she because, my feaky school is same-sex! Yep, RC is all girls. You can imagine my joy when my parents decided to send me there. Ecsatic. Not!

New Blog

So loyal fans! [Hahaha, fans! I don't think one person has read my blog, not that I mind soo much, I write it for myself, mostly.] I have made another blog, The Creativity of an Anonymous Miss. I will be posting my poems, songs, stories, ect.

Vacation Part 9

[Finally! The Last One!]

August 13, Day 9

So, it was Monday, our last day already. After packing up the car and everything, we left J's house. Since La Jolla is on our way, we stopped there for a few hours. We went to the La Jolla caves, with all the harbor seals and sea lions. After that, we walked along the shops. [I love walking along the little shops, and going into the little shops, and buying things from the little shops... :}] I found this really cool shops called Africa and Beyond [Check out their website, africaandbeyond.com] It had [did you guess?] a ton of stuff from Africa! I bought a beaded sea turtle keychain. I loved it because the turtle just looked so happy and free, ready to swim away...

Vacation Part 7 & 8

August 11, Day 7

We slept in on Saturday. [As if we hadn't been sleeping in the whole week...] When we finally got out of the house, we went to Vieja's, the Casino. Yes, I am to young to gamble [Darnit], so no, I did not go into the Casino. There are a ton of shops next to it. Mami and Julie had fun shopping together. Julie kinda brings out the daring in Mami [The teeny bit that she has, that is. :)] enough to buy some actually modern, low cut, nice shirts. It was funny, because Papi walked into the store and saw her trying it on and he was like "whoa". Well, he didn't actually say "whoa", but my Daddy isn't a verbally expressioning type of guy, [I just made that up, but it sounds cool! ;)] he expresses himself through actions. In this case, the 'Double Eyebrow Raise'. It was funny.

I got a cool new shirt and I bought Eclipse the third in the Twilight trilogy! I started it on Sunday and had finished it by Monday!

August 12, Day 8

Sunday we went back to Cabrillo and this time we got to go to the tidepools. They were closed when we went Friday, so we got to go Sunday.

[Me, standing on the edge of the cliff, it was awesome.]

We discovered this hidden cave too. Pretty cool. Lots of rocks.

[Touching the gooey anemone.]

August 9, Day 6

Friday was our last day at the hotel, Daddy's classes were finally over. We packed up and went over to Julie's house. She took us to Cabrillo National Monument [At least, I think that's what it was called. :}] Then we went to Ocean Beach. We walked along the pier and then walked along the beach. I got my feet wet, Dea jumped all the way in.

Vacation Part 5

August 8, Day 5

Thursday was a Lazy Day, mostly. We went back to Balboa Park, yes I got to to the Museum of Photographic Art! The photogrophers were Ansel Adams, Arthur Levine, Harry Callahan. There were some really cool photographs! I loved the work of Ansel Adams, he mostly photographed nature in Yosemite. The pictures were beautifull. Arthur Lavine took pictures of people and places in the city mostly, but something about them just stood out for me. [Harry Callahan was disturbed. I mean that in a bad way. It felt like looking ast pictures taken by a crazy stalker. He just took pictures of people on the street and of his wife, mostly naked. Yech, some photographer!] After going to the museum, we went to the gardens and shops on the other side.

We then went to Marshalls to get a gift for my mom's friend Julie. We each picked out a present for her, Dea took forever trying to find the right present. I wanted to go to the pool and swim but I forgot my bathing suit at home. [Dumb, huh?] I got a bikini there so I could go in. I can't believe it, I actually wore a bikini. :O Yep, it was wierd.

Vacation Part 4; extension

I feel I should explain my feelings on this touchy topic [Hold you horses all you animal activists and PETA people!] Okay, I love animals, [I totally would have adopted a ton from the pound *shudder* but my Mom will not allow it; she doesn't want an "animal" at home. I will continue my evergoing quest of convincing her to let me adopt one... ] but I am still not sure where I stand on the issue of animals performing and being in places for study. The tanks seem so small, how can the animals be comfortable? However, they are doing research, and it could help save the animals. Also, have you seen the connection between the animals and their traniers? Then again, making them perform? I try to look on both sides of the coin [Each side has it's spots] but, I just don't know. On the day I went to SeaWorld, I decided to forget thsi, and just enjoy the day.

Vacation Part 4

August 8, Day 4

It was Wednesday already, and guess where we went? SeaWorld! Dea, Mami, and I had so much fun!

I love manatees, they are awesome! I've always loved going to the manatee rescue at SeaWorld, I actually read the information [Unlike some people] and I think it's so sad. I mean, seriouslly, Why can't we take care of our Earth an of the others sharing it?

Vacation Part 3

August , Part 3

So Tuesday, we went to Balboa Park. It's not really a park, it has a lot of museums and gardens, it's a really nice place to spend the day. Tuesday was free admittance day to the Science Museum and Dea wanted to go there, so we did. I wanted to go to the Museum of Photographic Art, I haven't mentioned it in this blog, but I love Photography. Right now it's one the things I'm considering as a job, actually. Anyways the Science museum didn't really catch my attention, but Dea had fun.
One of the gardens at Balboa Park is Zorro Gardens. No it is not a garden with an Antonio Banderas statue [LOL :P], it's a Butterfly Garden! Planted in this garden are flowers that attract the butterflies [butterflys? butterflews?] and all these butterflies are fluttering around. I had barely entered the garden and a group of Monarch butterflies flew around me. I'm not one for bugs, even butterflies, btu it was soo cool.

[Dea at Zorro (Butterly) Garden]

After Balboa Park, we went to Old Town San Diego. Everything was so colorful, I loved it! We ate a Mexican Place [like I don't have that every day] at the Bazzar Del Mundo.

[Me by one of the colorful kiosks]

Vacation Part 2

August 6, Day Two

Monday was Beach Day! We went to Mission Beach, right at Belmont Park. It was really fun. We looked around the shops, got in the waves, looked in more shops, rode some rides, and watched a beautiful Sunset!

Vacation Part 1

I'm going to put a post for each day, mostly.

August 5, Day One
On Sunday, after going to Mass, we left for San Diego. You know what that means: Road Trip with a whiny little girl [Dea, my 5 yr old sister] whining and being whiny. Fun, fun, fun! Not! Okay, truthfully, it's not that bad, but she can get whiny. And anonying. And she bugs me. And I bug her back. [Hee-hee :P] We have one - count 'em, one - pit stop. Finally we arived at the hotel. It was a nice hotel, Paradise themed, but not too tacky. After we settled in, we went to the Fashion Valley Mall. It's this huge [at least it seemed pretty big to me] outdoor mall with an awesome food court. Unfortunatlly, since it was late already and most stores were closing so we went to eat. We ate at California Pizza Kitchen. Yum, Yum. :) Then, the shuttle was late, :/ and when it finally arived, there wasn't enough space, >:/ so we had to wait again >:(! Overall, it wasn't a bad start to my vacation. :)

I'm back

Hola ppls, I'm baaaaaack! [Eee, that sounds like one of those freaky tag lines you hear in the horror movie previews...] Well, anyway, I am back and yes, I do have a reason for not writing. Really. Mostly. Kinda. :} Here we go, I got a laptop! :D Yay!!! I had been asking my parents for one for a long time, then I decided I would just buy it myself. I had been saving already, but my parents said if I waited they would buy me one once I started high school. [Being partway through the begining of 8th grade already, I agreed.] So, surprise they actually kept their promise! [They actually do, every once in a blue moon...] Now I know it sounds like a lame excuse, but my laptop which supposedly has internet connection, will not connect! Argh! I didn't want to leave my poor little laptop all abondoned so I just played the games. [Did I ever mention that I suck at Solitare? I have a 20% winning average! >:(] So then, I went on vacation! To San Diego! And La Jolla! And how the hey was I supposed to get a computer [my parents didn't want me to take my laptop, but I didn't really care since it doesn't have internet anyway] with internet over there? I'll have to make seperate blogs to tell all about my vacation, becuase I have a lot to write.

By the Way

By the way, we are going to go book the date at the church for my Quinceanera tomorrow.

I'm not so sure I want one anymore. I'll have to dance...
After that, we'll decide what hall to book, what caterer, ect. We'll need a DJ too.
That means dancing...
My theme is Celestial. Moons and Stars. I can't wait!
On the other hand, the dancing hand, maybe I can...
Jeez, do I have problems or what?

Dancing

I hate to dance.

No this is not funny. Dancing is one of the worst things ever for me. I would rather go to the Dentist every day for a month, no, a year, than have to worry about dancing again. I am a total loser, I know. This is a real problem though. I'm entering High School now, and there will be dances, you know the kind where people expect you to dance. I cannnot have a repeat of the two dances I have only ever been to. I sat in a chair at a table to the side while everyone else was up dancing the night away. I envy my lucky friend that left before the dancing had really started, she didn't have to deal with this. My friends were trying to get me to go dance at first, but I just kept saying no. They finally got me up to the dance floor once, but I was just so scared and nervous that all I did was stand there for a while with my arms twisted.

Then I sat down.

And I did not get up again.

The music was hip-hop and rap. They danced everything all the way. With the ungh, and the ugh, and the sway together.

I listen to rock and allternative, by the way.

Which is music you can't "dance" to.

My "friend" was being really mean, saying I was "boring" and other things. I know I probably am boring, and you're probably thinking "Grow up and get a life", but it really did hurt. One of the worst parts was, this was my Eigth Grade Graduation Dance. This was one of the last impressions that my classmates had of me. They must think I'm a stupid, boring person that thinks she's too good for them, that's not true.

Stupid Me...

Yesterday was my friend JaC's Quinceanera. It was an awesome party for everyone else there, I'm sure.

But not for me.

The begining was fine. I went to her mass and JaC looked so pretty! Her dress was white and poofy with little flowers and purple rhinestones! [I loved it! :}]She had the usual picture presentation of her growing up and at the end there was a video of her and her friends at the Santa Monica Pier. It was really nice. Then her live Cuban Music Band started playing, switching off with the DJ every once in a while. Cuban mostly for the family, DJ mostly for the friends. And everyone was up and dancing.

Except me.

Of course.

My parents have even noticed that something is wrong. They first tried to get me to dance the Cuban music. JaC, her family, and friends were even up there.

But I did not go.

Then, *sigh* the DJ was playing all the rap, hip-hop music and everyone my age and more were dancing.

I just sat.

Some boys were there.

They were not too bad looking

They notied me and sent JaC and her sister to ask me to dance.

Twice

But, I did not go.

How retarded am I? And I am excpecting to get a boyfriend? Not anymore.

How will I deal with the High School dances? I don't know. I can't not go, I want to start fresh. I want real friends and I don't want my old image from SA to come back. What's a girl to do?

Summer School

Yesterday was the last day of summer school, yay! :) We had a downside though, finals. Ugh! :P I think I did okay though. Being that I'm entering RC in the fall as a Freshman, (freshmeat?!), I'm glad I went to summer school. Now when I go, at least I'll know some people there. I'm hoping I will have better luck here than I have had previously. I thought my life was going pretty good. I wasn't a loner, I had a group of friends that cared about me, or so I thought. I guess it mostly happened this year, I guess I should have seen it coming, but I was blocking it out. Sometimes, it feels like ignorance is bliss, but it can hurt you even more...

Oooowww... My teeth hurt! Yeah, maybe you can guess where I just was, -dun, duun, duuun- the Dentist's Office! Not fun! I had two cavities! Uggh, it was painfull.

I will be posting my life on this blog. Nobody knows it's me, here, I am known as Anonymous_Miss. This should be interesting, as I will be spilling my guts here. tell me what you think.
