Getting Into the Christmas Spirit

Hey there!

I absolutely can not wait until Christmas.  It’s what, 21 days away?  But only half of those days are school days.  I’m currently listening to Charice’s cover of Jingle Bell Rock and it’s quite good.  I love her, like, so much.  We have the same birthday, and that makes me feel special.  Well not really but it’s really cool!

Anyway, umm.  Yesterday I went to the mall with Brooke, one of my best friends who I haven’t seen in a couple months because she went to a different school.  Our friend Rachel was supposed to come, but she went over her grandmas instead.  Being alone made it kind of awkward, but it was still fun.  We saw a ton of people we know.  Like, I saw this girl that I went to elementary school with before I moved, and now she goes to school with Brooke, and she wanted to talk to her, but I wouldn’t let her because she will probably try to talk to me and I’m wicked shy.  Also, I saw at FYE that they sell the Charlie Brown Christmas tree, the really small pathetic but adorable one!  It was only like $35 and I wanted to buy it so bad, but I bought a CD instead.  It felt kinda nice to buy a CD instead of buying songs on iTunes.  I don’t really know why.  It was Lungs.  Florence + the Machine <3.  Thank you for telling me about them Naomi.  You now deserve two cookies.

Today started off really weird.  I woke up at 11:30 because my parents needed me to watch my siblings while they go shopping.  I felt like it was 3 in the afternoon, so I was oblivious to the time.  When my parents got home at 3:30 I thought it was like, 7, because I never cared to look at a clock.  That’s my story of the day.  That was totally pointless.  Sorry you had to read that disgrace of a paragraph.

Right now, me and Naomi are discussing music taste of a specific person who I will not name just in case.  I’m not going to go into that.

I can’t think of anything to say tonight, I am so sorry.

Midterms and Goth Doctors with a bit of Christmas

The title of this post may make no sense since I said I pretty much love my life, but not right now, oh no.  It’s not drama, it’s much worse.  Midterms.  They’re tomorrow.  I know I’m going to fail, but I’m going to worry and complain until they’re over.  Oh I’m actually going to go study now.  So bye.

(The next day…)

Midterms were SO easy!  I completely, and I mean COMPLETELY, over exaggerated.  But I’ll get to that later.  So, school yesterday was fun up until English. 

In French, we went to the language lab and looked at random French websites.  There is this mall, and it’s underground!  And it has a movie theater which makes it a million times cooler.  But I live in the United States so that has no effect on me at all.  In Science we took our chapters 6&7  test and everyone was mad because we didn’t get to use that class to study for midterms which was the day after, so today.  In English, my teacher was mad, for the very first time.  We had this really bitchy sub who turned out to be the head of the english program at our school.  She told the groups that were filming their skits they couldn’t film because she didn’t want them in the hallway.  But instead of midterms we are performing these skits, and they needed the day to do it.  So my teacher came in yesterday and said the director lady yelled at him and embarrased him at a meeting and he kinda hates my entire class now, but he said “The only group I’m not worried about is Sarah’s group,” and I’m in Sarah’s group, so that made my day, kind of.  In Foundation Studio, which is basically Art, my friends case manager showed up and made her switch seats cause she was distracted, so me and MT had to sit alone, but we still made the best of it.

Ok, so midterms.  They were easy!  At least easier than I expected.  For physical science, everyone, no matter what level class you take, everyone’s midterms were the same.  I found that to be strange because if level 3 and level 1 have the same test, a lot of the level 3 people probably failed.  And probably, the level 1 kids studied a lot of what wouldn’t be on the test.  But there’s really not much else to say about it.

In English, we decided that when I’m Paris, I need to be goth, for no reason.  So I bought black jeans, a gray button down shirt, and a black tie.  It’s gonna be awesome, I think.  My Capulet costume that’s supposed to be a combination of Juliet’s mom and dad isn’t finished yet but my group thinks it is, and when it’s not done for Tuesday they’re all going to kill me.  Though, I kind of wish I didn’t have to be both, because I’m going to look like an idiot if I’m up there talking to myself wearing a half dress half suit outfit, with half a mustache and half lipstick and eye shadow.  I already know I’m going to look ridiculous.  At least Pond’s idea of it being a musical didn’t go through well with the rest of the group.  I’m an ok singer, but I would never sing in public unless it was with my friends and no one else could hear. 

Lately, I keep forgetting it’s only November, and I think it’s winter break.  I’ve spent this entire day in pajamas, except when I took a shower, then I put on clean ones because they were comfortable.  And during this lazy day of mine, I keep listening to the preview of the Glee Christmas album and it’s not helping with trying to get a grasp on the fact that Christmas is over a month away.  As much as I love the warm whether of summer and stuff, I love the snow.  I could spend hours just lying down in my front yard in the snow.  “For we need a little Christmas, right this very minute, candles in the window…”  I’m going to kill myself before Thanksgiving even gets here waiting for this holiday.  Now I’m in the mood for fruit cake which I’ve never even had.

TWO MORE DAYS UNTIL GLEE!  That’s not long at all, but every time I post I’m going to make one paragraph dedicated to Glee with a countdown to the next episode.  This is a special episode because this is one Kurt meets his possible boyfriend, Blaine.  Blaine sings Teenage Dream and it’s kind of awesome.  Sometimes I feel like this show is my entire life.  It actually may be, since I spend my free time looking up spoilers for it.

Hmm, music… Lately, Kesha has bene really annoying.  It seems like she always has a song on the iTunes Top 10 thing and she’s not even good.  Her songs are so autotuned it’s ridiculous.  I heard her live at the Kiss Concert, and the only reason I thought it was so good wass because she’s a good performer.  I will admit her songs are catchy, but that’s really it.  When they’re played at dances I’m not one of the kids jumping up and down.  Umm, yeah..

This post was still short for me, but I had planned to post yesterday and then my uncle was here from 8 until past midnight so I didn’t have anytime to blog, and now I’m just tired.  So expect a post Wednesday, because Tuesday is my Glee night and also I have CCD that night right during the show.
