Well, right now I am in a terrible state of distress and I'm a bit shaken up. Here's the story, I know most people will stop reading by now once they see how long this will be...but that's ok. I don't mind if you don't read, afterall, I use this space as a place for me.
So today, after I finally have a day off of work, and although I am still a bit swamped with school work, I decided to have a fun day with my friends. My car is still breaking down, and the night before I was sleeping at my friend's house and while we were both in the car driving to her house from work, my car broke down for about an hour. So, that next morning since I knew we would be using it all day, I decided to try and do a temporary fix. It worked! We ended up having a grand time together. I
First, I picked up my friend Heidi, and my friend Jessica was already with me, and we went to Rock Springs to swim for a while. It was slimy, I cut my foot on a rock, and the water was cold. I guess I was happy that I looked skinny enough (I know, so vain...blah blah blah :) But anyway, I got out of that bug jungle and we headed to my school's open house which was absolutely amazing and exciting. I saw so many of my friends that I haven't seen all summer, and I talked with all my teachers and I recieved my schedule. I am so happy with it.
These are all the classes that I am taking next year.
AP Psychology
Medical Magnet Clinicals (takes up two periods)
Ap Environmental Science
AP Englsih Literature
AP Statistics
AP American Government (online)
AP Micro Economics (online)
(Economics Honors - still taking online)
(Personal Fitness - still taking online)
(Physical Education - still taking online)
AP Comparative Government
And lastly, my choice of sociology honors, ecology honors, or VCC Humanities.
Overall I am pleased and I hope to god that I make it into the colleges that I want to.
Moving on.
From Open House, my other friend Paige joined our crew and we all ate a Denny's then went to see John Tucker Must Die. OMFG that movie is so freaking hilarious. I loved it. Great movie. Basically, I went to drop everyone off and on the way coming home after I dropped all my friends off, right when I was about 15 minutes away from my house, my car began to overheat and I kept going to see if I could make it home. WELL....when I get to the most scary, dark, deserted place on 441, my car completely gives out and I am stranded on the side of the road. My cellphone battery is dead, my car is smoking and not working, it's pitch black and the only is coming from my headlights and my hazard lights along with the lights of cars as they pass by me at 60 miles per hour and I feel the entire vehicle shake. Well I managed to get my battery to work in like 2-3 minute sessions until it would cut off and my phone would die, and in about 10 or 20 of those sessions, I managed to call my mom who didn't answer the phone, to call my friend and give her my mom's cell number and to advise her to call my mom until she wakes up to tell her what's going on. By now it was 2:30am. I know. I broke down about 1 1/2 to 2 hours before then because I spent time out there by myself in fear, and trying to fix my car, and trying to call my mom.
Well, she finally managed to come out to where I was and she was so pissed at me. She is essentially right though. She said that I shouldn't have used my car for any other purpose than for work, and that my temporary fixes were not enough to get me far. So, despite what I think or what I could be done, the fact is that I have too many things in this world to get done on my to-do list.
Getting a TB shot, and scheduling a time when my mom can take me, when I am off of work, and out of school Finishing my summer assignments before the 7th; reading a book, making a project, and doing another project. Trying to find transportation, figuring out what to do with my car, planning for college, tests, scholarships, events, clubs, and just so many things. I really can't think straight now. I really can't.
I am distressed, shaking (well was), and I am just worried to the max!
So, I just let myself know that things will work out. I will work things out. There's a lot of things going on in my life right now and I don't know if things will get easier. I am just happy that I am able to keep myself motivated, and I am able to try to balance all things in my life. I refuse to breakdown, though it might be for my own good at this point. I wonder if people always have this much stress, and I wonder if they can manage it and handle it well. From my perspective, I see myself as outlasting the people that can't handle a hard time, I like that quality of being a strong-willed person.
Well, I don't give up. That's my motto. Bring it on LIFE...whatever you have for me. Bring it on....
