There's so much going on in my life, yet to little

I'm assuming it's been awhile, since I haven't had my computer for awhile. Last month, while using my laptop one day, the stupid cord, the little metal part that goes into the computer, completely snapped off the rest of it, making it useless. And my battery was pretty much completely shot, so I had no power in my computer. And I ordered a new battery and charger, which cost me 120 bucks, and I waited. My grandma let me use her computer sometimes, but I didn't want to go on here on her computer. Yeah, so then it eventually comes in, and the stupid cord works for four days. I plug it in one day and nothing. It won't work. So I had to send it back. That took forever, about 2 weeks from when I sent it to get it back. Yeah, but now it's back, and I can use my computer. So I'm updated. However, go figure the day before the cord comes in it turns out my grandpa ran out to Wal-Mart and bought me a computer that was crazy cheap. My one issue with it is that it has Windows Vista, and I'm not too fond of Vista. My old one is XP. Vista just gets annoying, but I won't complain too much, a new computer is a new computer.

And yeah...I move into my dorm and start college in less than a month. Kind of excited. I've gotten in contact with my roommate, she seems pretty nice. When I first saw what she looked like I was a bit nervous- a skinny blond, definitely looks like one of those popular ones. Definitely not my type, I don't think I've ever had a skinny blond as a friend, they seem to hate my kind.But she seems pretty cool, so I hope things work out. My room has so much crap in it for my dorm. I have no room in my room to do anything, there's my bed, and then a walkway maybe a foot and a half wide to get out of my room. Of course, I've never had the entire room, my cousin's crap covers half of it. And now I have dorm stuff covering around 12 square feet of my room, maybe a bit more, and the pile of stuff is at least 4 feet tall, and I'm not exaggerating.

I've been having the urge to go see Mama Mia! again. I went to see it opening day, and, although it was very enjoyable, it didn't wow me like other movies. But after giving it about a week or so my urge to see it has come again, I'm somewhat tempted to go again. Not that I'd really going for Pierce Brosnan's singing again, I don't really see why they cast him for a musical, but the overall storyline was good, and Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried were amazing. I didn't think they could sing. But I guess I'd have to expect as much from the great Meryl Streep. And Amanda was better in this than she was in Mean Girls, which I can't stand, mostly because of Lindsay Lohan.

And I'm so sick of my stupid mouth. I don't know what the deal it, but my mouth has been hurting. A couple weeks ago it was hurting everyday, then it went away, and then last Monday it started up again. It was so bad I was tearing, I couldn't prevent it. Luckily it went away after about a half hour. Then last night around 10 it started, first not too bad, but it flared up fast. So within a five hour period I took two ibuprofen, two tylenol, and a vicodin, and by three thirty it went away, so I managed to fall asleep by four. I have a dentist appointment on Monday just for cleaning, but they're going to take some x-rays to see if there is anything wrong. However, I don't think they'll find anything. Especially last night, it felt as if it was more in my jaw, below my mouth. And it's weird, it's only on my left side when it comes, switching from bottom to top. I just hope this is all resolved before I go off to school.

I'm feeling so relieved and good right now

It's late, but for some reason I seem to do my best thinking and such at night. I just finished posting an extremely long blog on my Myspace, and I feel so relieved right now, so much better. There would be no point on posting it here, since it was mostly directed my friends. But just writing it down, I feel so good for some reason, I don't know why. It could be because of how I've come to appreciate them all, or how, after looking back, I've realized how great they all have been through high school. Even though I won't see most of them again, since we're all starting college in August. Oh well, it's nice to enjoy them and have them while I can.

Life goes on

So, guess what? I graduated! Yep, I have officially graduated from high school. I did last Tuesday, but I haven't updated since then. However, the day kind of sucked. First, I had to go in early for practice graduation, so I was up before 7, which shouldn't have happened, since I was already off of school. And that kind of sucked. No, it just totally sucked, I won't get into details. Then I got my hair done, that was fine. It was actually nice, I've been wanting to get my hair cut for SO long. And I finally decided to revert back to bangs, which I haven't had since 5th grade. It was a good choice, my hair stylist Erin did a really good job, it looks loads better than my hair did before. But then there was actual graduation. We're outside, they force us to wait outside until 25 minutes until the ceremony is supposed to start, and it is so hot outside! And my eye was bugging me, I had an eyelash in it, but I'll get into more detail about my eye in a bit. So we finally get in, and it's really hot in the Sundome too! Plus we have our stupid gowns on. All of my friends, since they were in band, were on the East side, and I was on the West side, with a bunch of idiots. Yeah, so we go in, it just sucked. I was between these two idiots. We had to go boy girl boy girl, but during both practice and the actual thing, I was between these two idiots. The one on my right kept making very rude comments during the top 1% speeches, and to the fact I'm friends with practically all of them...it just really pissed me off. I was extremely happy when the ceremony was over, because my head was throbbing, and I was overheated. Then my parents were going to force me to go out, but luckily I was with my grandparents, and they could see how much pain I was in, so we went home and I went to sleep. That was a weird sleep schedule that day. And then, a couple days later when I was going to put my diploma in the holder, I found out I didn't even get it! They can't figure out how to spell my middle name apparently, and misspelled it, so they're sending me one in July. Yeah, it was just crap.

Then my eye. Even though I got the eyelash out of my eye, it didn't help. It was still very red and painful the next day, so I had to take my contacts out, but it took a few days for my eye to get back to normal. I still haven't bothered to put them back in, I will tomorrow.

I'm going to try and stay in contact with friends, at least throughout the summer. I'm going to see a Kung-Fu Panda with Janelle and others Sunday. Oh, and I got my red w/ brown stripe belt. I don't know if I said that before. But I'm really close to brown belt, I think I'll be able to get it in the fall. Since spring testing in tomorrow, and I doubt I'm ready. I know I'm not, I still don't know all the one steps.

It's been awhile since I've updated this

I guess it has been a very long time since this was updated. Don't know where the time has gone, although it seems as if it's been ages since Europe. Well, I hurt my wrist, so I'll just say a bit. School is almost over, 8 school days left, then graduation is the 27th, excited. Happy I'm guaranteed housing next year for UA, but I still don't know what my assignment is. I wish I knew if I got the dorm I wanted or not, hopefully. I'm pretty much one AP test away from being done with doing anything big in my classes. AP Bio I have no clue what we'll be doing, I guess we have to do our final in pre-cal, AP English we're just reading a play. AP Gov we're going to be working on our videos for our interest group. Orchestra, concert Tuesday, then nothing more on that. Though I guess we'll still practice for graduation, but I don't have to play Pomp and Circumstance this year, YAY! Oh, and great news!! My English teacher, Ms. Aikman, she's getting married, in October. Abby talked her into letting us, meaning the orchestra kids in her class, Janelle, Abby, Rebbecca and myself, along with Donald, although he doesn't have her, to audition to play at her wedding. We got it! So in October I have to come back up to play for her wedding on the 4th. I'm so happy, because I get to play for something, and also because I get to see those guys again, since I don't think I'll be seeing them after school is over. Well, that's enough for now.

I think Europe was the fresh breathe I needed

Alright, well I've been back from Europe for exactly a week now. I was so happy to get home last Monday. Then by Tuesday afternoon I was ready to go back. My family is so annoying to deal with. Oh well....I guess.

But I think going to Europe was just the thing I needed. I feel like I've been a lot better off since then. The seniors are now starting to include me in things, I guess I'm going to do a quartet with three violins and two cellos for orchestra, just the seniors. I think Latham is going to let us play Disarm. And I guess we're good enough friends now that they keep bugging me about not wanting to go to prom. If they get a bounce house then I might consider going, but I dunno...if I were to go, I'd go with Maggie, since it's way cheaper to split a couples ticket than to buy singles tickets. But I'm freaking about school this quarter. We have an 8-9 page research paper for AP English, and I didn't do all to well on the last one, and it was a lot shorter. And I'm so messed up in AP Bio right now, being gone for two days really lost me. Since I was unable to get onto a computer in Europe, let alone use my Bio disc, I didn't do the practice essay, since there was no time between when I got home on Monday and Tuesday. And we were supposed to do these big group review projects, but go figure I was the only person in 1st hour who was going, so she told me to get together with some of the girls who were going that were in 2nd hour. That didn't work too well. So now I don't have that, so I'm pretty sure I should be failing right now. But I'm going to work my butt off now. Last quarter of senior year is NOT the one to fail. I've worked way too hard all these years. Of course, if I were to fail the class it wouldn't matter. I need three science credits to graduate, at the end of the year I'm going to have five, since I'm doing Chem this year too.

Then there's Lynn, who I'm majorly pissed at right now. She doesn't know it, and I won't tell her. She keeps pushing for chair placement testing again in orchestra, such a bitch. Three seniors in front of her, she wants to get ahead of all of us. It's crap. The last quarter of our senior year, we're all in AP English, so we all have that huge paper to do, plus we all have AP Gov, and I have AP Bio, and AP tests are coming up in about 5 weeks. Then Abby and I are doing the pit for Annie, and that's 30 songs we have to learn in three weeks for that. We practiced yesterday the first fifteen, the keys are murder. I hate flats. But yeah, so much going on, we don't have time to practice. She does of course, she always has time to do whatever. Honestly, she's guaranteed concert master next year, once the seniors are gone, she's the one decent violin player left.

I really need to finish my math homework now, and try to get most of my research done for English, so I'll be done for now. Maybe I'll try to get some pics from Europe up. Got some great ones.

52 hours

Only about 52 hours until I get on the plane to go to Europe!! That's all I can think about anymore!! I'm so excited, so very very very excited!!!!

And I also got my acceptance letter finally to U of A. I knew I was going to get it, but I'm happy it's true now. They're giving me 3k a year for school, which will help some. I hope I get a dorm, I applied after the date for a guaranteed room, but I didn't get the letter until after then.

School is killing me lately. Amazing, week before spring break teachers want to kick our butts with loads of homework. I have two big papers due, three major tests, and have to write a paper in AP English.

Nana- Nana rocks, Hachi pisses me off

Right. So right now, and all of today, I've been watching the anime series Nana. It has got to be one of the best I've ever had. I am literally tearing up here, on the brink of crying. So emotionally crazy. But it's so awesome! I'm hoping I can finish it tomorrow, since I have tomorrow off of school too.

Went to lunch with Maggie today. It was pretty fun I guess. We talked a lot, and I mean a lot. But we don't get to talk that much at school. So many random things were said, we laughed. etc.

Only about 2 weeks until I'm off to Europe. Really excited. Tomorrow is going to have to be work first, fun later. I have tons of homework. Need to read and log a huge book within the next two weeks. I also have a research paper due in a week, and government thesis due in two. And I have other gov hw as well. But now I need to get back to watching Nana.
