What an interesting past couple of weeks. I've spent my time mostly with Michelle and Kim, something that never gets boring. Yesterday we went and looked for dresses for formal at Parkway, and of course..no hope. So we're trying again today at Fashion. Michelle had to go to dinner with her grandparents, so Kim and I had Paolo pick us up and take us to In N' Out..which I'm super happy we made it alive, considering his tire was about to fall off, and was making this loud thumping noise the whole entire time. and plus I saw grik(!!)
Kim and I were talking about what we're going to do after high school and where we're going to go, where we're going to live, etc. I'm so excited to move out of the house and live on my own, no matter how scary it will be. I'm ready to have my own job and responsibilites. But at the same time, I don't want to leave my comfort zone, and high school where I know everyone, and have my parents to fall back on. I'm slowly growing up, and it's craaazy. We had articulation the other day, and these are my classes as follows:
1. English Lit (AP or no?)
2. Government (AP or no?)
3. AP Statistics
4. Yearbook
5. Art of Film
6. ??...either Physiology or AP Psych,
Ceramics, Photography or something.
Valentine's Day is coming up on Wednesday, and even though I have a valentine, it still does not take away from the hate I hold for this holiday.
Every year, it's the same commercialistic excuse to sell crap. If you really love someone and care about them, why tell them only on this one day? Shouldn't you be telling them often anyway? I don't get the point of it, and especially for people are single..it just all around sucks. Maybe I'm bitter because Alex is going to be out of town, and the one chance I did have someone around this time of year, we can't do anything.
On the topic of Alex, he's been out of town since Wednesday, and is coming home late Monday night. I'll see him at School on Tuesday/Wednesday, but then right after school on Wed, he's leaving again for another 5 days. It's been hard, and It's going to be hard next weekend not seeing him. Then I start thinking about March, when he's going to be gone for like 2 weeks straight. Then I can't help but think about next year when he's completely in the East Coast for college. of course I know I cannot think that far ahead, considering I don't know if we're going to be together still by then, but I still think about it, even though I know I really shouldn't.
I'm happy with Alex...I feel so worry-less and I can trust him. My family adores him like no other, and it's just an all around good relationship. But every relationship still has it's struggles (although they are all just in my mind)
I'm really excited about formal, (even though yes, Alex will be out of town) but going stag can't be too bad I don't think..I'm really to dance like crazy with Kim and just have fun! I am not wearing a strapless dress this time that's for sure. Kim and I have been going insane the past few days, just dancing and booty shaking whenever we get the chance, hahaha. yesterday we were driving back from parkway, and I turned 93.3 on really really loud with the base like blasting and michelle was in the back seat, but kim and i were dancing like craaazy and just having a blast, "smacking" the steering wheel and everything(jokingly of course, haha) and sure enough not only do we get hit on by these black men in the car next to us, but Katie Ryan and Alex Occasion(I have no idea how to spell his last name) see us and they basically just look at us and shake their heads back and forth. hahah.
I've been eating so much lately, I don't know what's going on. But besides the point, I need to start excersizing though..I've been wanting to for awhile, it's just my will power that's shot. I'm going to do this though..I need to.
I'm off to church with my Mom now. I haven't written in here in a long time, whee.
oh, and here's some pictures from
grant, colleen, me, and christian.
