Stuff that'll make you bored:
Friday I left after 6th hour...technically after seventh, because I went out to lunch ^_^ ... I momentarily lapsed and forgot Griselda, but I brought her home early. In the car, we listened to the Avenue Q Cd. wow, Dirty-talkin' puppets are amusing. I wish I could actually see the show. Maybe it will come to chicago sometime?
Stupid Saturday took the stupid ACT (again). The only cool thing? I was in a room with tons of people I knew, and during the break, we went downstairs and did a brisk walk around the first floor, which I think kept me alert and perked me back up.
I have cold feet now about choosing schools. I feel like I'm not being...discriminating enough. Edgewood, yeah, sure I thought it was cool, but now *sigh*...I'll be very close to friends there, maybe too close? I don't know. I'm afraid if I don't get far enough away, I'll never grow up. But I don't want to take a hack-saw to everybody/everything in my life either. Is there a healthy balance? Where I'm forced to grow up and become my own person, but keep the things (and people) that are important to me in my life... I'm a bit of a sentimental gal, so I'd like to stay "friends" with people, but not use them as a crutch.
...I still have time to decide about stuff. Maybe I'll even look at some more schools. Chicago has been calling my name for a while, I dunno.
Better stuff:
I love hanging out with my friends. I don't think I say that enough (or maybe I say it too much?). I live for the weekends, when I can just forget about school and relax and chill out. It's the most satisfying feeling, being able to laugh and smile and MEAN it. After my friends leave from my house, I'm happily groggy. I clean up the rooms, rearrange the chairs, throw away the garbage, turn off the tv, and then go to bed, just quietly thrilled. I sort-of cling to those moments/thoughts/memories with friends, just something to get me through the day. Not that school is completely horrible, no not by far. My days just get long and difficult sometimes, is all. There are people at school that make me smile too.
...All I'm trying to saying is, I appreciate my friends, alot.
