spring break!

talk about complete neglect. my bad. :P

anyway, in case ANYONE CARES, my spring break has started. THANK YOU GOD<3 seriously. if i had to last another week in school, i probably would have just collapsed.

so i spent the first day sleeping. since i only had a half day, so i went home right after cos. :] which was at like... 10:45. let me tell you: LONGEST DAY EVER.

this year (school year anyway) is almost over! and i'm sosososo excited for summer. #1: LICENSE! (hopefully) #2: PARIS!! #3: HAWAII!!!!!! okay, now i'm even MORE pumped. although i probably won't be able to update during my trips to Paris or Hawaii, i'll bring some kind of journal and then i'll type it up and post it here. in case anyone wants to read about some ACTUAL adventures.

umm, yesterday was sort of interesting. i went to Shoprite and bought a bunch of fruits, cheeses, and a random bunch of radishes. let me just say that radishes are absolutely amazing!!!

after that random shopping trip, i went to figure skating. which was WEIRD for so many reasons that i don't feel like getting into right now. but whatever - i got some practice in and some exercise :P

after THAT, i arrived home and just watched some movies with the family. i know, my spring break is BEYOND interesting.

sooooo. yeah, that's all i got. :P

I WILL UPDATE!! i'll most likely have much more free time now. :D

happy st. patrick's day!

hola! i'm updating despite the fact that NOTHING happened today. like at all. so i'll update about yesterday quickly:

so for history, my teacher brought in someone from the Holocaust named Fred Spiegel and he talked to us about it. but he spoke REALLY fast and i couldn't really understand him because he had a heavy German accent. however, he was selling his book for $10 so i had to borrow Danielle's money and buy it. the book was so great! i read it all yesterday and it was basically about his life. i love reading about stuff like that for some reason. :\ like, it's interesting. i don't like reading about suffering or anything like that. wow that sounded so bad. anyway, it was really cool hearing from someone who was actually there and yea. good experience. :]

that was basically the highlight of yesterday... i guess i'll move onto today. which FAILED in comparison.

we'll start with cosmetology: we learned how to do layered cuts. which i find quite easy and far less stressful than blunt cuts considering everything is uneven and it's SOPPOSED to be like that. anyway, that's basically what we did the whole time.

umm my classes went by as usual. nothing really stood out. except in algebra, my teacher was saying how she found some things hard that most people find easy. so she asked us if we've ever felt like that, and this one kid goes, "like Yu-Gi-Oh!" for some reason i found that really funny!!! xD that event actually happened days ago but i just remembered it now so. :P

after school, i had to hang up posters for literary magazine with Gab... even though she's not in the club. thank GOD she stayed after with me, because i was the only one who showed up so if she wasn't there, i'd have to hang up alllll those posters by myself. it took us about a hour with NO HELP. thanks guys. >:P

anyway, i want sleep noww. so i'll update later!

PS - Happy St. Patrick's Day!
as you can tell, my day wasn't very Irish-spirited. :P

sarah~~

hellooo! this weekend we (my family) went to pick up my sister AGAIN. seeing her 3 weeks in a row is great<3! yesterday she came home and made us a bunch of vegan meals. they were good but strange hahah.

then today, we went shopping! because she needed things for spring break. we went to Target, where i saw Evan and some other kids from my class that i hid from xD, then we went to the mall and bought a bunch of clothes and food. i had this really delicious mango smoothie<3

after THAT, we went to Best Buy (CDs) and then Kohl's! it was quite an adventure. while we were in the Kohl's check-out, there were these 2 kids behind us and the one was talking about all this alcohol this other kid is bringing to the party they were having, and his friend kept trying to say something and he just kept going on and on about the alcohol. my sister and i were laughing to ourselves xD.

anyway, after we were done shopping, we ate dinner and then Sarah's friend Alex came over and we watched my sister make more vegan deserts and stuff. and then we just laughed a lot about stupid stuff. like i think all we did was laugh.

so now my sister is at her friend's house and is going to Florida for the week for her spring break. which i'm soo jealous of hahah.

umm, that's all i got for you right now so...
i'll update later!

HPU & what not.

i'm so sorry! i promise i didn't completely forget about thisss. xD;

i've been really busy with the standardized testing for juniorsss. i had it all last week and it was extremely easy and i definitely passed! :] i heard that the test is on an 8th grade level but.. i don't know. :P

this weekend i went to PA again to visit my sister. but we went to this college orientation thing for Hawaii Pacific. it seems like a wonderful school!! and it's in Hawaii.. where it's sunny... and NOT cold. although i shouldn't be complaining, this weekend was surprisingly warm. however, it's supposed to drop down into the 40's this week. >:[

AHH. summer can't come fast enoughh. well, spring break can't come fast enough. i really want to go some place REALLY WARM for spring break. like Florida... or.. Bahamas.

anyway, my figure skating lessons start soon! i'm really excited<3 i'll finally have something to talk about. xD

alright well, that's all i got.
i'll update later, i promise!!!!

my lovely weekend~

my weekend was simply amazing! i didn't plan on bragging, but i'm totally going to. it was SO MUCH FUN! i went up to my sister's college and i stayed there for the whole weekend. not only was i able to completely get away from all the stress at home, i got to experience a little bit of what college is like!

when i arrived, the family went out to eat at Olive Garden. it was quite delicious. and usually when i hang out w/ my sister, she's never hungry or she never eats much since she's vegan, so i figured i might as well stuff my face while i have the chance. HOWEVER, as soon as we dropped off my things in her room and said goodbye to madre and padre, sarah goes, 'wanna order some Chinese?' SO we ordered Chinese food and ate it and it was tasty~!

after that, we watched 10 Things I Hate About You. that was a VERY GOOD MOVIE!! i highly recommend. and then i think we watched Lord of the Rings since TNT was having like the trilogy playing every day of the weekend. that was actually really convenient because we had something to watch every night. xD

we went to sleep at around 2am.

THE NEXT DAY, (i didn't get ANY sleep because it was ridiculously cold but if the window was shut, it gets ridiculously hot) we woke up super early. like 9. which is early for me on a weekend. we got ready and then took a train to Chinatown~!!!

Chinatown was a BLAST! we bought so much food (of course). despite it being kind of cold out, i don't remember being cold at all... i don't even know why i mentioned the weather.

SO YEAH, basically we just shopped in Chinatown. when we got back to the campus, we ordered Chinese food again (surprise, surprise) and we ate it in the lounge and watched LOTR on the big screen. :3 these other people from the college came in and joined us. i felt awkward at first but then the awkwardness kind of just went away. all of their friends eventually came and left so we had the place to ourselves.

we were EXTREMEMLY exhausted from our adventures that we fell asleep at 11:30pm. xDDD

and SUNDAY, we went to this mall that was HUGE! we spent a lot of money in Chinatown so we didn't have much left over. we went to Sephora and got makeup<3 then Claire's, Bath & Body Works, Starbucks, Hot Topic, i don't know why i'm listing all these stores we went into but YEAH. it was pretty fun!!!

then we walked to Barnes and Nobles which was down the street but it took us SO LONG to cross the road i was friggen FROZEN! and i was drinking an iced coffee so that probably didn't help... at all. we stayed in there for a long time because we were both reluctant to go back out into the weather. legit, i think we spent like 2 hours in there. sarah was looking at some vegan recipe book and just bought a book recently so i didn't look for anything. but we found this corner to sit down in while sarah observed her recipes, and it was in the "romance" section, so to occupy myself, i started reading some of them, and they all SUCK! they sound like some retarded fanfiction that 5th graders write. we poked fun at some of those for awhile.

EVENTUALLY, we went back to the mall and looked for some essentials. and took pictures by a giant pikachu plushie. good timesss. :] luckily for us we didn't have to take the bus back to the campus. mom & dad came and picked us up at K-Mart... which is right next to the mall. go figure why they didn't pick us up AT the mall but okay.

and then yeah, i got my stuff and came home. i made some tea and ate some pocky and i'm quite happy because I DON'T HAVE SCHOOL TOMORROW! because of all this snow ! it came out of no where! and i'm quite excited to see what it's gonna look like tomorrow morning!

anyway, i'm currently watching Sahara and waiting for National Treasure to come on~. i like watching movies if you haven't noticed. :P

stressed.

gah, i'm so stressed out. not only do i have to write this ridiculous research paper by Friday on top of ALL my other homework, but i'm also buggin' out over my friends. like, when my friends are having an argument and/or "drama," it kind of affects everyone and maybe i'm the only one that feels this way. i think everyone just needs to grow up and just be friends with EVERYONE instead of having cliques or whatever. gah, i'm just so emotionally drained. :[

so moving on to a happier subject, i'm almost finished with my research paper that i was just complaining about! i'm trying to think of a clever title for it... but my brain's just stuck. so i took a minute to stop and think and i ended up like, falling asleep with my eyes open or something.

oh yeah ! on the way home from vocational school, my bus driver and i were singing to I'm Yours by Jason Mraz. lmfao, it was really random but fun nonetheless! ;]

i also had an IMPOSSIBLE math test today. luckily my teacher let the whole class work in groups. but.. it didn't really help out much. after like 30 minutes of struggling with like, every problem, we finally got some speed and answered quite a few questions! we didn't finish, but we're getting time tomorrow so i'm DEFINITELY going to study tonight.

after school i went to the SADD meeting. it was really fun actually! my teacher for that told me about this website to go on (http://www.twloha.com/) and i bought a shirt from there to support that organization thingy. :]

ugh, tomorrow's only Thursday. THIS WEEKEND CAN'T COME FAST ENOUGH! okay well, i guess i'll update later!!

<3amy

Oscars! and my day.

ugh, back to the normal day schedule of waking up at 5:50 and sleeping until 6:10 and then rushing to finish getting ready. fun. :]

i actually have cosmetology this whole week. i walked in, after being absent for 2 days, and she made me take a test! (i know like.. get over it, right?) BUT NO. i was really nervous to take it but the questions were so easy so i really lucked out :P. i actually don't remember /anything/ that happened in that class.

umm, i did take an impossible quiz in English today. whyyy do i struggle so much in that class? English is my favorite subject, and i'd like to think that i'm pretty good at writing and analyzing literature and what not, but whenever i take a test i'm like, 'AHHH WHAT AM I DOING?'

on a happier note, i'm almost finished with my research paper! i started it yesterday and did my first two paragraphs and then my works cited page. and i'm going to write one paragraph every day this week so i'll be able to finish by Friday... it's not due until March 2nd BUT i'm going to my sister's college next weekend! (or this weekend) I'M PUMPED!!

ah, the Oscars. how i miss watching them every year. i actually /did/ watch them last night. i've never seen the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button but they showed so many clips of it last night during ALL OF ITS NOMINATIONS that i don't think i need to see it. i was quite surprised to find out that Brad Pitt didn't win Best Actor. anyway, i'll stop being sore about Benjamin Button. SOOO, Heath Ledger won an award for Best Supporting Actor i believe. i was quite satisfied. :P

so yeah, quite an interesting night/day. i finished my homework very very early tonight so i'm just going to CHILLL. :]

i'll update later!
