Cheers for Rampant Updates
It's such a lovely irony that when I have the least time to update my journal, I write the most. Cheers for limited time.
So, today, overall, wasn't that terrible. The morning, however, was.
I got myself all prettied up... makeup... large, floofy hair... nice outfit...
And I neglected to take in the rain. Or how hard it was raining, for that matter. Soooo, I grabbed an umbrella, and realised I can't carry my makeup bag, keys, textbook, binders, cell phone, lunch box, messenger bag, and umbrella with two hands and a shoulder. Then, I accidentally opened the umbrella inside. From this point on, I realised the day was going to just suck. So I ended up taking all the loose items first, running back into the house, hauling the messenger bag to the car, then get in.
So far, so good. But I did expend a lot of effort in trying to keep my hair dry with the umbrella. I did, however, succeed. Unfortunately, I did not take into account that I can't take all of my stuff into the school in two trips.
Well, I COULD have, but I had French class at 7:30, this morning.
Sucks.
So, I start my car. Or, atleast, I try to. Took me about four minutes, but I finally got it running, and drove down the driveway, and stopped to turn right at 42. Well... as soon as I hit the brakes... I learned that there is a sporadic leak in my sunroof. Water POURED down from the sunroof, and my hair was no longer dry.
Sucks.
Well, the traffic was really spread out, and not heavy at all, so I made my way onto 42 pretty easily, and made it to school without incident. Alright. Trying to run across a flooded parking lot, in high heels, with a (broken) umbrella + all aforementioned items=not a very easy task. At one point, the umbrella caught the wind and ALMOST flew away from me. But, for the split seconds that it WASN'T over my head, I got drenched. Then I splashed my way through an unseen puddle. Eventually, I made it into school, then into French class, where everyone looked at me strangely. probably because I looked like I had just jumped into a pool with all of my clothes on.
sucks.
Rest of the day went by pretty smoothly, I guess. Boring, but smooth. Senior superlative charts were handed out, today. What fun. Plus I have to do a senior quote. Any suggestions, anyone? I had one a while ago, but I forgot which one it was. In any case, I had a decent amount of homework, tonight. Actually, it's still unfinished, but I need a break right now. I'll probably go make waffles in a second. hmm.
OH, ALSO! Can anyone help me with this? The Middlebury supplement essay prompt is REALLY stupid: "Describe an experience in which your values were tested. How have you grown as a result from this experience?" I'm almost tempted to cop out and say my values are tested every day because of the bigoted, anti-homosexual environment in which I live, but I REALLY don't want to do that. Does anyone have any ideas? (Rough draft of the essay is due in AP lit by Friday).
Je suis finis.
