Happy Halloween!

I have a party with my Ward tonight, I'm going as a detective.

Also

Cake!






Do you like all the blood I have dripping out of it? I do.

Hurray for medicine

Last night, I ran out of my headache medicine. It was unfortunate because I woke up this morning with a pounding migraine. Gr.

But I got to spend today relaxing! :3 Watched TV, mostly. But I did work on my Halloween costume a bit. Yay for costume!

I had a math exam yesterday, and I think I did pretty well. Not as confident as my last exam, but I'm not too worried either. I did manage full credit on my quiz last week, so... here's hoping for some continued fortune.

Drum roll please

Hallo again.

So that math quiz I took? I got full credit on it! :3 Yee hee! I have a math exam tomorrow--I can only hope I do so well on it.

I slipped down the stairs this weekend and injured my knee again. So I've been limping terribly, and been in a lot of pain. But, I take pain meds and get through my days well enough. I'll rest it up this weekend and ice it a whole lot. No worries.

I also give my speech tomorrow, which won't be so bad. It's only 5 minutes, which is one-third of a talk at church. Easy pickings. I also know my class really well, so it'll be just talking to my friends. I'm not that worried.

Right. Need to get through tomorrow, and then I have a nice weekend. I somehow reinstigated my headaches, so I'm dealing with those as well. Peachy keen.

October goes by...

What the--? Where did the month go? Sheesh...

I realized this evening that next week I have to present my project in Speech. Blah... I thought it was later. I have my sources all picked out, I just need to prepare the speech. Gr. Gr! Whatever.

So my weekend will be busy with speech preparations. I have a quiz in Math tomorrow, too, but that won't be so bad. I just need to review my notes tonight, and then again tomorrow.

To do this weekend:
[ ] Speech assignment
[ ] Costume shopping!
[ ] Write more of the SC
[ ] Start drawing CJ
[ ] Read!

I'm gonna fly on down

*yawn* It feels very early. I did not get enough sleep.

Today is a short day of school, thank goodness. I will go to class and then take a nap. But at some point, I will go buy some puffy paints so I can paint Brady's onesie, per Laura's request.

*yawn* Yesterday, after Anthropology class, my classmate Luka (sp?) decided to hang out with me before out next classes. We sat in the library and he read some book for his next class, and I drew. But we did talk a lot. He's very nice and very bright.

I did, somehow, manage to forget that my Speech class had an assignment due. 20 points down the drain... must make it up by being super in every other aspect. -_-

And my Sociology teacher gave me a book to read. Yeah.

Institute tonight. I decided I need to be more adamant about going--need to really stick to it. So I will. Starting tonight. I won't miss another night!! *determined*

Title! I am lacking one

Awesome. Awesome! AWESOME!

Here's a true story. When we went to England years ago, we popped into a big fancy bookstore and I bought myself two lovely, paperbacks out of the Narnia series. Really pretty covers. I love them. I really wanted the rest though, and for years have pined away for them. My Dad went off to England this week, but it turns out the books are now out of print! Oh noes! So I scoured the internets and found the rest of the books. I ordered them and now they will come to me. Yay!

I also went to Laura's today to help her so she could get some housework done. Brady is cute, as always.

A package arrived for me today, as well. It's the commission Emi did for me! I am so very happy to have it!! I can't even breathe!

*gasp*

Popples

I wish to be a tiny popple.

Anyway, popples aside. School. I had taken my anthro midterm last week, yeah? And I got my score back today--horray for me, I got a 38/40! I am rocking the exams this quarter! Need to keep that up.

I need to be cleaning the house and then going to my sisters. Baby needs watching.

Coming soon! My favorite LolCats!

Needing something to go on

I damaged myself. Again. *vent anger here*

I somehow hurt my legs. Two separate incidents, if you can believe it. On Monday, I wore my fancified new shoes to school. Super cute, life was special. But I carved a thick line of blister into the heel of each foot. Huzzah. So, I am off those shoes until the blisters heal. But, the same day, I did so much walking, my thighs have seized up. They're sore and taught and weak now. And I did something to my knee, too, as a result. I can't walk normal and it keeps giving out. I wore a knee brace today, but it didn't really help. Anyway...

Bad times behind, good times ahead.

Tuesday evening I drove up to Palo Alto and a bunch of us surprised James at work for his birthday. He made his "you're all weird" faces and rolled his eyes, but he totally loved it. We brought him cake and balloons. Both are entirely irresistible. And we all met up at Brian's, and while everyone else watched the debates, James and Tanya and I played Gin. I won.

I had a math exam on Tuesday. I studied really hard and it paid off--I got a 91%!! Yee! I had an Anthropology midterm today, so we'll see how I did next week.

Have some stuff to do this weekend for school. I should get it done soon. I'm taking Brock to the airport tomorrow. He's meeting Laura and my Mom in Arizona.

Time to ice my knee before bed.

I might be crazy

Halfway through my second week of school. Actually, 3/4 way through. Tomorrow being Thursday.

I need to hook up my printer/scanner/BFF to my computer again. I miss being able to print and scan.. mostly print. I want to print my script and start drawing. :o

I saw Gwen today, which was so nice. We got to talk and I gave her her presents. We're hoping to hang out this weekend and celebrate our birthdays.

Laura and Brady were over all day today. Yay! :3 And, Emi (the creater of The Way to Your Heart) emailed me that she's going to start my commission soon! So excited!! Ah, yes. I commissioned her for a drawing. Pretty cool! *wiggle* Thinking about it gets me so excited!

I should go to bed. Tomorrow is a long day of classes and I need to be rested. Sure do.

It's super effective!

What a nice relaxing day today was. Mostly. :3

I woke up at a reasonable time, but lounged a little. I love to lounge. I get to lay in my robe, and PJs and play my DS. It's lovely.

I got up and changed, and scurried out the door to run some ever so mysterious errands (Mom's birthday is tomorrow, hint hint). Took a few hours, cause I had more than one stop. I actually made... four stops. Yeah. I am, though, as a result of said errands, the proud new owner of number 151, thank you very much.

Had a budding headache when I got home, which freaked me out. So I popped one of my headache pills (don't worry, they're aren't addictive, at all) and undid my pony tail. And read some comics for a few hours.

Now it's late, and tomorrow is my last Sunday in the Stanford 1st ward *sob* and then I'm in the Monta Vista ward *yay* so I'll be hopping in the shower in a moment. And... that's about it!

Bye for now!

Hurray hurray

And so ends my first week back in school. I still enjoy it! Which isn't much of an accomplishment, actually. I'd be sad if I didn't enjoy it. And now I feel like I'm rambling.

On to greener subjects! Like... um... I got my Student ID card! Finally! Took two years, but I did it. Ha!

And I have no classes tomorrow, which pleases me to no end. I want to get my homework done, watch The Village (I still haven't T_T), and paint.

Actually. I want to paint right now. Hm! I think I shall. Fo sho.

Dancing with myself

This is weird. It's 9:30 at night, pitch black out, and I can hear birds chirping like the sun is coming up. Crazy birds. X)

So, second day of classes. Phew. Long day! But... good. Anthro was good. Discovered a girl I knew in the class, so I got to sit next to her and feel less alone. Plus the guy next to me was so funny and nice.

And Speech seems good. The teacher is hilarious and raucous. She isn't going to give us a final or a midterm--says the class is about us learning and understanding ourselves. If we're comfortable with ourselves, communication will be easier. I will definitely like it.

Sociology seems like it'll be a battle for my beliefs and personal politics, but it'll be so interesting, and I'll have to think so hard about the world and what affects it.... it'll be really good.

And I got into Trig! Yay! The teacher is really articulate, and interesting. He seems like he'll be awesome. The room is clean and bright too. And rather than a tiny desk, I have a big one that I share with the person next to me. Basically, this class will be the opposite of my last Trig course. Super!

All in all, I like my teachers. They're all bright, good people, who are dedicated to their subjects and determined to help us improve. They're all treating us like college students, not high schoolers, and I respect them. I hope this all keeps up and they don't let me down. But I don't think they will. :D

We watched the season premier of Bones tonight. And though House was also on again, we're all a little tuckered out. And it's still on right now, anyway. We'll watch it tomorrow. I also want to finally watch The Village. While there's day light, of course.

Okay, I should be asleep soon, so.... nighto!

As time goes by

Awesome. I'm finally FINALLY back in school. Golly, it has been so boring without it! Sheesh.

I had Anthro today, which was cool. The teacher is fun, and seems bright and interesting. I MUST stay focused this quarter. I cannot get distracted! >:-[

But seeing as it's my only class on Mondays and Wednesdays, I've a whole day to spend now. Mom and I are going to buy my books, though, which will be nice! :D And then I can study for anthro. And then I will *gulp* watch The Village. While there's day light!!!!!! Or I'll die of fright! T_T

Eek eek!

On the headache front, I have no headaches if I take my medicine on time. If I miss a dose, or I'm late on one, it comes back. Super fun, eh?

Ad Libs

I'm really [adjective] of these [physical ailments]. I'm [1st adjective], too, but I really love [cute male nickname]. I also love [food], but I'm not allowed to enjoy it. Lame!

I didn't do much today, other than [verb] fitfully, take [1st physical ailment] medicine, and babysit [cute male nickname] all day. He was such an [positive creature], hardly [verb], ate all his food, and [verb] galore.

I have suddenly heard a [adjective] sound! That makes me want to [verb] upstairs and [another verb].

Sweet

I may have a big nasty head ache, but when I saw that am number 1 on the wait list to my math class....

In other news, I went to the doctor about my headaches yesterday. She thinks I have migraines. Hm. I thought so too. She gave me some prescription medicine to take. I'm supposed to keep a headache journal, too. And take the meds. And come back in a few weeks. -_- Super.

So I woke up this morning in a whole lot of pain, took the meds, and went back to bed. Whatever. My head feels better, but I think it's from the Dr. Pepper I took. Ho hum.

I painted yesterday, too. Been working on a painting for my sister and her family. She asked me to do it a while ago (year) and now I'm getting it done again. Hurray!

A change in plans

Or I would paint outside, if my easel was within reach. Rather than in the back of garage behind a bunch of heavy objects.

I suppose I could appeal to my parents on the stance that my brother painted in the same bedroom, on the same table while he lived in it. And if he was allowed to, why not I? This painting is small detail work, so it's essentially the same. And, my paints aren't in small buckets, open top and watery. Mine would be on a flat tray or in tubes. NOT watery. Not tip-overable. No sire.

But seeing as today does not appear to be very paint worthy.. And I feel the need to be productive... I may read. Or watch a movie. Sheesh, why do I feel like I'm neglecting something important?

Painting is fun!

I want to paint today. I might dig out my paints and canvases and have a go. I need to finish the Temple. I also want to start a project I've been thinking about. :3

I can paint outside. Nice and clean. Yeah. ^_^

Last monday before school

7 days before school starts. ^_^ I'm actually excited!

Best blog post ever!

Ha... Good times.

I slept in way too late today. I got up at, I think, 1:30? Ugh. Ugh! UGH! Wretched. I need to not sleep in that late. No wonder I had a head ache all day. Sheesh.

I went down to 24 Hour Fitness and looked around. I'm pretty interested in joining, for sure. It's so close, and seems pretty good. And it wouldn't be too expensive. :) I found a 7-day trial membership online, so tomorrow I'll go in and work out a bit. If I like it, I'll go the rest of the week. And if that all is good, then I'll really push Dad for the membership. But, I'm sure it'll be good. The employees seems really nice, and they offer free Yoga classes on Monday evenings for their members. It all seems to be so perfect. I hope it works out.

Ran some errands today, too. Wanted get a little something somewhere, but they didn't have it. Maybe I can ask them to contact me if they get one. Or I can buy one online. That seems more likely to happen.

Awesome, well, I'm tired. I've just showered and washed up for bed, so I think I will actually GO to bed. But first...

Happy birthday, Gwen! :3 Yay! Yay! It's your birthday! Hope it was a good one! <3

Your personality test results came back

As I prepared for sleep tonight (which took a very long time, due to my sheer exhaustion), I realized that I really am not in shape. I'm not fat, or over weight, but I'm not in shape. And that's not good for me. I already knew I wanted to join a gym, but now I know for sure. Monday, I'll go check out 24 hour fitness, which is right around the corner from my house. Maybe it's good.

Today, though, was good. Or rather, yesterday was. Er.... hm. Saturday! Was good.

I baby sat Brady in the morning, and he was oh-so-pleasant and cuddly. He ate two bottles, had two naps, smiled, and coo'd. He was marvelous.

I hopped in the shower around 1PM, to get ready to go out. And at 3:30, I was out the door and on my way to Brian's. He, Justin, and I picked up Sachi,and the four of us scurried up to San Francisco to attend the Professional Volley Ball tourney. That was really cool, actually. I was a little lost at first, simply because Volleyball was always a little vague to me, but I got really into it and soon we were all cheering like crazy! It was super fun, and SUPER cold. We were all very numb. Br!

And then, it was back to Palo Alto. We were SO tired, but it was only 9 by the time we got back, so we joined Whit's good bye party, and had a blast! It turned into a dance party, and there was a whole lot of crazy dancing and pictures taken. I was so insanely out of it, I would have thought I was drunk, were I not mormon and completely sober. D'oh! X)

The worst part of the entire night, was the drive home. I was partially bummed about Whit leaving, distracted by my thoughts, tired, and my knees hurt crazy bad. And to make it all better? 280 S was bumper-to-bumper traffic. At 11:30 at night. Not cool! I could see the red snake curving out of sight! And there were three, open, yet full, lanes. One lane--just one--was blocked off. Gr! I had to get off at El Monte, and drive El Camino to 85, just to get home. I didn't even get home until 12:15... Gr.

But, even though that was an entirely too frustrating situation, I'm still very happy and tired. My day was marvelous and I had such a good time in the city.

I'm going to pass out in my bed, before I pass out in my chair.

Hate headaches

Blar. I have another migraine today. -_- Probably from the cake and soda I had at the party yesterday. Lame.

Dan and I went to lunch at this Fish 'n Chips places called "Race Street" on (you guessed it) Race Street. Trés good! I'm nice and full.

Tomorrow there's a BBQ I want to go to, so I'll see if I can swing it.

For now, I'll lay down.
