Eve of the 'Big Day'

October 13th, 2011

Hola. Hello. Ni hao. It's 10:20 p.m. and I'm exhausted. I feel that every year I get older, I lose even more of my ability to stay up late. Half of the time I'm ready to pass out around nine. 16 isn't considered old.. why do I have to feel like it should be?

Well around 2:40something a.m., I will officially be 16. Yay! I think there is probably a pretty fair chance that I will forget about it myself, but that's okay, it wouldn't be the first time. I just need to let a few minutes set in, and then maybe I'll become sane again. Tomorrow is also the homecoming game, with a whopping high of 64 degrees and rainy, hellloooo cold. But hey, I get to spend the day with my best friends and Casey, how could I ask for a better birthday? And we actually have a chance to win, considering that we are playing St. Frances DeSales, who have the same 1-6 record as us. So let us cross our fingers and wish for the best, yes?

Let's see... what did I do today? I watched Travelogue in Chinese (shocker); took an hour and a half of notes in Psychology, while everyone continued to complain pointlessly; took a quiz in Pre-Cal that I feel pretty good about; and read half of a story in English. Yup, very eventful day. It was actually college apparel day, so we got to dress half out of uniform, woot woot.

Addi had her last game today against Wayne Trace, and her team won. They won the first set 26-24, and the second 25-11, so I'd say that they played fairly well. Then I came home and ate dinner, bathed Toby, and talked to my dad and aunt. My other aunt isn't doing so well, and neither is my grandma, so I guess a lot of things will begin to change over the course of the next year. I'm just trusting that God will make the best out of everything.

Yesterday and Tuesday were actually the more eventful days. Tuesday I had school, took the PSAT (soooo long, sooo hard), and then went home. I went to the fall choir concert and hung out with Austin, Alysia and Nick while I waited for Casey, Mike and Summer to be done singing. Afterwards we went to Happy Dayz and got ice cream.. which may have not been the smartest idea. Summer and Mike ended up getting the ice cream all over each other... and the floor... and the table... along with ketchup, it was just great. Then yesterday I got to have my champagne for my birthday, it was all great until I woke up with nightmares. But hey, at least they weren't reality.

So I'm waiting for Casey to be done watching Jersey Shore so I can call him for a few minutes and then go straight to sleep. I'm exhausted. But staying up is definitely worth it. Facebook no longer catches my interest, all of the post are ghetto, or nagging. So I choose to sit here and write this to no one but myself. Eh.

I guess I should find something productive to do.
Night.

Sunny Days

October 11th, 2011
Well, it's Tuesday, and the weather outside is gorgeous, perfect fall weather. Imagine a fire of reds, oranges, and yellow; put that image on every single tree down Runyan. And it's 74 degrees out. You just can't get better than that. That's why I love Ohio, the weather may be unpredictable, but you get a little taste of everything.

I'm waiting for my friend Austin to pick me up for the fall choir concert. Although I'm not performing, Casey will be. I've gotten the impression that they really aren't that good, but you never know. He's getting me at seven, so I have a good 37 minutes to kill. Most of which will probably be spent on http://www.stumbleupon.com/

School was good today. I was freaking out last night because I could not solve these Quadratic equations, but then I realized that I messed up the equation, and that's the reason that I couldn't get any of my answers right. That and I did not understand the concept of imaginary numbers, but now I do, so all is hunky dory. Other than Pre-Cal I really didn't do anything. English we read. Psych we drew pictures of squirrels. Chinese we watched videos. Yup, that sums up my school day. But we did get our homecoming shirts today which turned out really nice.

I have to take PSATs tomorrow, boo. I can't say that I'm looking forward to taking a three hour practice test, but hey, it should help prep me for my ACTs. Which are the 22nd. Then the 27th I'm going to take my driving test. Then the 28th and 29th are tryouts. October seems to get busier and busier.

Blah.. what else is going on? Today was crazy hair and makeup day, but I didn't do either because I enjoy my sleep and decided it was worth it to sleep in and not go all out. Tomorrow is door decorating day, but I can't do that because I have PSATs and I have to miss Moonbuggy, which is where we would potentially do the decorating. No problem with that though.

I was watching The Lying Game today, so I'm going to see if I can find any songs from the episode that I may like, because the only music I have really been listening to is Lady Antebellum's semi-new cd. Eh.. nevermind.

Well.. I think I'm going to end this since I have just about everything that happened today written down.
Peace. Love. Happiness.

Four day count down!

October 10^th, 2011

I always have this idea that I'm going to write this awesome blog, but it's most likely just not going to happen. So this is what I've decided. These daily(?) posts will be just be who I am, what I'm doing, and where I am in life at the point in time that I write them. There's no 'main ideas' to my writing, more just posts from a soon to be 16 year old girl. So yup.. that's that.

Now, time for today's post. Well it's the week of my birthday! In less than four days I will be sixteen, finally. I know it's suppose to be a milestone in your life; it's the time when you can get your license, get a later curfue, and just overall have more freedom; I just am not sure that I am ready for it all. With insurance, gas, and whatever fixtures my car may need in the future, I'm not exactly dying to drive. And yeah, I'd love to get my license Friday on my birthday, but my mom says that I need to focus on ACTS and basketball tryouts before worrying about driving when she doesn't even know if I'm 100% ready. So I'm thinking that I'll go the 27th and give it a shot.

I had school today, yay. And it was Monday, double yay. Every day at Lima Senior I find why my parents send me there. Yes, it provides a good education, but it always greatly improves your social life. I mean, you see people that you would never imagine having the life that they do. Some you befriend, others you shrug off; they live their life and you live yours. I'm ready for Chinese to be over. Everyday I face the challenge of staying awake, and when Psych. comes I don't have to worry about staying awake. One days like today, where we watch YouTube videos of babies crying, I don't really stand a chance of dozing off.

I really should be doing my Pre-Cal homework, but I figure that I can do it after basketball. I'm suppose to be leaving in fifteen minutes. Tryouts are in two weeks, so I have to work my butt off. Plus I need to get in extra great shape for homecoming this weekend. I'm getting even more excited by the second. There is a downfall to it though, considering that it is suppose to rain both Friday and Saturday.

But I should wrap this up. I have to leave in 10 minutes and I need to get going. Adios.
