Goodnight!

I finished my first album, and I'm calling it a night.
I've decided to go through Kanye West's entire discography through the next week. Tonight's album is My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. I should've gone in order, but I don't mind. I'll start going chronologically tomorrow.
I'm officially done with homework for the rest of the night. Now on to that CD...
Also, I'm getting through my math homework pretty quickly, so I think I'll spend the rest of the night making a CD for my friend Abby's birthday. I think I'm going to do that for all of the friends I had over Saturday. That is, if I can remember/figure out when their birthdays are.

Bright Side

On the bright side, my dad came home with a bunch of snickerdoodle cookies for me from the lady I was supposed to dog sit for. At least I have food on my side when I'm sad and shtuff.
It doesn't really take much to upset me nowadays. That's not okay either.

I am just really really down right now and it's not okay. 

Shoutout to Loyolla

I'm really upset right now because my mom is making me do college visits next weekend when I was gonna be seeing my boyfriend. I'm really really really upset right now and I keep crying and I don't even give a flying fuck about Loyolla but my parents are making me go anyways and I miss Andy and I feel like shit.

Update on Operation "Emily Goes Miss Congeniality on Your Asses": Turns out I applied past the deadline so I can't do it anyways! I'm actually kinda tempted to find and enter a real pageant, though...

Goodnight!

Believe it or not, I actually got a lot of my math done in a relatively quick time tonight. I'm still not finished yet, but I need to be rested for my English exam tomorrow so I'm calling it quits. That's not gonna stop me from doing a small amount of exercise once I'm ready for bed. Especially if I need to be pageant ready...

Goodnight!
Now that I have to get fit, I should probably try to get back on track right now...

So I accidentally entered a Pageant....

So while looking through a list of random scholarships I saw something for "Distinguished Young Women" and thought "oh hey! That's me!" and decided to apply. The only requirements were that I be a U.S. Citizen (check), not married (check), and not currently/never pregnant (HELLA CHECKS). That was easy enough, and AFTER I applied I got a notification about how their state committee for Ohio would review my application and consider me for moving forward in their pageant. Needless to say, I was shocked because this girl most certainly does not have a swimsuit figure yet..

The guidelines in the competition are talent, fitness, academics, interviewing skills, and then general presentation of myself. This should be interesting to say the least...

I FINISHED MY FIRST APPLICATION OH MY GOD OH MY GOD THIS IS HAPPENING!!!!!

I also just finished a scholarship application for the Coca Cola Scholars foundation. I doubt I'll get it, but it's worth a shot and the deadline was coming up quickly!
I'm hoping to work on my essay for the DePaul application tonight. I have to get this submitted before November 15th so that I can get merit-based financial aid. If I get my butt in gear now, I should be just fine.
I just realized that I can change the font on this bad boy and ahhhhh I just wanna keep playing with it!

Look how fun and dyslexia-friendly this font is!!!!! I'm gonna keep using Helvetica from here on out! We use Helvetica Neue for the majority of our stuff in newspaper, as in headlines, bylines, captions, design/photography credits, and so forth. It's a nice font. Normal Helvetica is okay, but it's not quite as lovely and versatile as Helvetica Neue.

Today was really uneventful, yet again! On the bright side, things have gotten less stressful for me in school. Sure, my GPA isn't where I want it to be, but I'm doing my best and I'm coming out in a decent place. Also, having some friends and actually doing things and hanging out with people is very very wonderful and I like it a lot. I don't know why I didn't do this sooner! Also, the newspaper goes to print tomorrow and it actually is on time with relatively few errors! If things keep going this smoothly, I think I'll survive quite well.

Goodnight!

I decided to go to bed early. I probably won't fall asleep right away though, but it's better than trying to do homework when I'm getting nowhere and falling asleep anyways.
I have a splitting headache and I can't concentrate on anything. Oh my goodness I haven't even done my math homework that was due last Thursday... I'm a mess...
I'm so soooooo tired I can hardly function!!!!

Goodnight!

Bonsoir! Buenos Noches! I don't think I spelled either of those right! Oh well! Sleep tight!

Not Quite Goodnight

I'm too tired for my brain to function properly. I'm just gonna pick out an outfit for tomorrow and get ready to go to bed early. Tomorrow I have a luncheon with my scholarship donors, so we're allowed to dress up for it. I'm pretty excited. I get out of a lot of class,I get to look pretty, I don't have to pack a lunch, AND I get free, relatively tasty food. I can't complain about that. Welp, here goes nothing.
I just got brutally murdered by an AP Bio practice test online. I'm sure the real test will be nothing like that at all. I'll at least keep my fingers crossed. I'm way too nervous for this test. I haven't been nervous about a test since ever, so this is really weird for me.
Now I'm just studying for my AP Bio test tomorrow. I'm pretty nervous, especially after the last test. I basically neglected my math homework entirely this weekend, and I don't even mind.
