Being sick pretty much sucks old disgusting lollipops. Thankfully I’m feeling way better than I have these past two days. My fever is mostly normal and my chest doesn’t feel like it’s on fire at the moment. It sucked to miss school yesterday, but I’m getting the work down thanks to Janessa getting my work and Jackie’s help with the essay.

I’ve been very busy with scholarship and college apps along with regular school work. I think teachers shouldn’t give homework out the whole month of November so we could concentrate on apps instead. Psh…never will happen though. There’s so many parts to different apps…papers are everywhere. I don’t know how I’m keeping things organized. I just have a couple more sentences for my USC School of Annenberg letter of intent..and I can send that one in. Then I just have a small section of my UC app..and then the journalism app for SFSU. Then I’m done! Almost there. phew!

I have to write a speech by next sunday also. I’m going to the Good Tidings luncheon and I have to speak at it. I still can’t believe I won $5,000. 600 applied and 20 got it. I’m still doing a happy dance on the inside.

What I want to do over break (besides school related things):

• Find time to spend with Sam (such as celebrate our 5 month which is on Thanksgiving)
• Watch movies
• Chill with friends
• Refrain from eating TOO much
• Learn the new covers for TBA
• Get well completely

I really want to buy “Up” too, but I’m running low on funds. With christmas, dances, shows, and other stuff coming up. I need money! “Up” was mine and Sam’s first date. I still remember him asking me to go like it was yesterday =)

Shoot, I need to buy some new albums too (ie. FTSK, Kris Allen) geeeez. Money should grow on trees.

Saturday was my last marching competition. I was sad most of the day because Sam was sick and couldn’t make it. I haven’t been able to spend anytime with him because of his sickness and our clashing schedules. It’s quite depressing, but at least he’s getting better and cell phones are extremely helpful. It’s sad when I have to stand like 2 feet away from him. He might as well not be around at all. Now I feel like I’m coming down with something. BOO. I hope it’s nothing too bad. I need to be able to finish up my last essays.

Good news! I won a $5,000 scholarship. 600 applied, 20 won. I’m so pumped! My grandma and mom were crying. lol. Should have seen my victory dance.

I’m pretty happy with my Myspace satire also. I worked hours on it and it was almost 1,000 words so I had to work on cutting it down. Sam enjoyed it, so it must be somewhat funny. (crosses fingers)

I can’t wait until Thanksgiving Break. Being in school is such a downer sometimes. I feel like sleeping in and stuffing my face with pumpkin pie. YUM.

Ok, back to work.

Although I was able to sleep in and stay away from school, I feel like days off are never truly complete. With college apps and homework still cluttering my room, I can’t escape it. Oh well. It has to be done. I am finally starting round 2 of my Spanish also. BS.

The first part of my day was great though. Woke up not feeling terrible under the warmness of my blankets. Then Sam picked me up and we took a trip to the mall to buy our FTSK tickets! STOKED! I’m kinda sad that I’m not going to Not So Silent Night though. How could I not know about it for so long?? Oh well. Winterball better be fun. Anyway, we left the mall and went to have lunch with my mom. YUM.

Now I’m home and about to start getting to work. Already finished Grendel and math…but I have to write up my Poli Sci stuff and do those college apps. uggh.

Is graduation and summer here yet? Didn’t think so…darn.

What can I say about my life right now? It’s basically the same as always:

• I’m stressing about school
• I’m stressing about college apps
• I’m tired most of the time
• I’m wishing for more free time
• I’m in love with my boyfriend
• I’m realizing that I’m happiest when I’m with him and the rest of the wolf pack
• I’m realizing that I’ve felt that way for a while
• I’m getting through everything even if I’m not sure how

Life is crazy right now. A lot of ups and downs. I hate the downs..just like in a roller coaster.

Band is also crazy right now..and sorry to say it..but things don’t sound so swell anymore. What happened to us?

Recent highlights:

• Halloween: Got lots of candy and collected 75 pounds of food
• I gave out over 50 bags for the food drive….did you guys do your part?
• Falcon, Black taco, and Bacon thigh jokes. (yess..all from Sam..haha)
• I have the whole fast part/rap for Zebrahead’s song. yesss

hmm…g’night tumblrs. Don’t you just hate this get darker early thing. bleh

But real life has taken over. I use to update everyday. Now I barely go on. I miss this place even if a lot of it is no use to my life. Things have been extremely busy. Why?

• Trying to do my best in school
• Marching, concert, pep band, and now drum line
• Organizing the food drive
• CMW music and lyrics
• College apps
• Finding space to spend with Sam
• and all the other little things life has going on

I think there should be more hours in the day. Oh well.

I’m looking forward to Saturday because it’s HALLOWEEN! It’s going to be a SUPAH fun day.

1. I’ll spend it with Sam (by tomorrow..it’ll be two days since we haven’t seen each other…we rarely go over the limit of one. haha)
2. I’ll get money from recycle
3. Maybe a movie or shopping?
4. Dressing up as a plug and socket with Sam
5. Trick or Treat/ Trick or canned goods(for food drive)

Fun fun! I won’t think about school. It’s time to relax a little.

(yet I know stressful things will be hidden at the back of my mind..boo)

Oh yeah, go to Taco Bell on Halloween and get a FREE BLACK TACO from 6pm to Midnight. If you don’t know the joke…you won’t understand how funny that is to some of us. black widow…black dog…black belt…..hehe
