I need to change how I see the world. I've been living by rules created in my head, created by fiction. I need to learn how to play by the rules of the real world. Wallowing in self-pity/misery may be "fun" in the moment but it gets me nowhere. I need to do some work on my own to get the ball rolling in life. Being confident is what helps you feel ( Read more... )

Well, this week went by quickly. We've had lots of school- only got to leave on Wednesday for Toledo (which was AMAZING, by the way). We've been watching Spain vs. US soccer during lunch, and we've visited most English classes with kids from all ages. Yesterday Rosa and I gave some presentations in Spanish for the basic English class. (That was ( Read more... )

Today was a school day. We spent most of the day in English classes, doing activities with the students. The younger ones knew English pretty well, and we wrote stories with them. The older students were a mix- some good, some not. We did word games and asked questions comparing life in both countries. At lunch I sat alone- the other Americans went ( Read more... )

and that means school's out. So I'm officially a junior now. ...Wow, I've been on here since... end of seventh grade? I guess I really like this place. :P ( Read more... )

How can one person affect you that much? I'm used to this feeling, thinking about the real ( Read more... )

I feel so happy right now. Sure, school wasn't the best- (bio was actually.. boring today, I didn't know anything on the history test, art was stressful and we had to read part of the Odyssey in english was made no sense...)- but Meghan responded to the message I sent her on facebook.  She doesn't mind that I've been talking with her.. I mean, I ( Read more... )

Okay, I'm in a bit of a freaked out mood right now. Today was not really a good day at all. Started out terrible 'cause I got a 63/74 on a Bio test and the girl next to me got a full score. I felt stupid ( Read more... )

(Using one of William's icons because I'm happy, but it's still [mostly] me ( Read more... )

Today was... not so good. Started out good- bio went great, global studies didn't suck.. and during iblock I got to go to the library and look in last year's yearbook ( Read more... )

Okay, like I said in my last post, I went to the Harry Potter 7 thing last night at the bookstore, and I said that I met up with some friends. Nathan (the guy I had a little crush on) was there. I hung out with him and two other girls all night. Fun. :)

...But.

Okay, so we're sitting the corner of the music section, ranting about random things, and ( Read more... )
