Updates (5-17-09)

wow, it's been awhile since I've blogged! better get started on some updates.

well, the other night I watched Titanic. oh my gosh, it's SO sad! I was bawling my eyes out. but it is so good at the same time... aren't all sad movies? I think that it's the saddest movie I have ever seen, and I've seen my share of sad movies. I was probably a sight to see, sitting at my laptop bawling my eyes out over this movie. haha :]

well, I'm not really sure what else has happened... but I can recount what happened yesterday, which was a pretty fun day!

well I'll start with a bit of background information. in school we have drama class, and our grades (7 and 8) had two plays: whodunit? and The Scottish Play. I was in the latter, but I had a tinyyyy part in the first (I got to scream and faint, then be carried out on a stretcher... twas fun. haha). so anyway, we had rehearsals off-site (at a church where our performances would be) and the rides could be very entertaining.
So yeah. background info pretty much complete...
So yesterday I babysat in the morning, then awhile after that some friends came over and we hung out, then I went to drama performances.... all after getting 6-7 hours of sleep. So I was majorly exhausted... but performances went great, so that was good! at least what I saw of them. if we weren't in the play we couldn't watch the other ones, so I didn't get to see most of the other plays. But what I did see was good, and I heard awesome reviews. yay!

and now I'm working on finding information on Israel. why? In school we're having a world culture fair, and we have to find a bunch of information on a country assigned to you and a partner (my partner and I got Israel). Explanation over. haha.... so anyway, we have this list of all this information we're supposed to find, and I can't find some of it. like anywhere... so hopefully my partner has better luck than I do on that! I'm getting so sick of this, and we're supposed to have all our information found by tomorrow so that we can start putting it onto poster boards for when we present.... but it's been sort of interesting I guess to find out all this stuff about another country.

well anyway, I had better get back to homework... bluck.

So..... today is May 7. national day of prayer.... also a pretty bad day for me. quite bad really. one year ago today, something changed my life forever. so obviously I wasn't too happy today. But after my friends noticed I had to push it all back, which probably just made it worse. I don't want to ruin their day just because of my own stupid problems.
I mean, the people around me shouldn't suffer just because of something that is making me suffer. instead of focusing on myself, I should be bringing a smile to someone else's face. right? it's just emotions. they're all in your head.

anyway. since I was having such a bad day, I couldn't focus on the bright side.... my friends finally get back from ethiopia tomorrow. I'm so excited to see them, pumped really, but I just can't think about it with what's going on. It makes me feel like a bit of a jerk.

Well that's all. I felt like I needed to write something since I haven't in quite awhile, but I am just not in the mood.

Sick... ick. (5-2-09)

So.... I'm sick. and it totally sucks.

First, we thought I might have strep.... but we sat in the hospital like four hours just to find out I didn't have strep. So I was glad for that, went to school yesterday (I had stayed home on Thursday) and had an okay time (I still felt sorta sick). Then last night for youthgroup we went to a Twins game (which was TOTALLY AWESOME) but I couldn't really enjoy it because I felt sorta sick and tired and my eye was acting up.... I get home to find out I most likely have pink eye. whoo hoo.

So I'm feeling quite miserable. There was so much I wanted to do this weekend, and now it looks like I can't do any of it! :( though I did some research, and if my pinkeye is caused by bacteria (which now I'm hoping it is) I could get antibiotics and it'll probably be gone in a day or two... which would be nice. Because I REALLY don't want to miss more school- plus I have a lot of soccer stuff this weekend (though I suppose I wouldn't be well enough in time for it anyway... :( Ish.)

Added to all this, there was a reported case of swine flu in our county. So now I'm really scared I'm going to get that.

Wow,.... I think I'm turning into a germaphobe....
