Goodnight!

I finished my homework surprisingly fast, so goodnight!
I made it home from work, and needless to say I'm beat. I still have homework, which is just fan-freaking-tastic!

Oops I didn't explain the Newspaper Mystery!

So what happened was this: last night I was checking twitter and saw a tweet from the school paper regarding the classwork. I screenshot it and sent it to Natalie and my co-editor Sarah and we were all steaming. Sarah is the only person with access to the twitter, but she didn't send the tweet. We figured it had to have been a member of the returning staff, since all of the passwords for accessing newspaper-things are the same. Anyways, we confronted the staff today and nobody knew a thing.

Senior Year Day 2

Today was slightly worse than yesterday. I was just incredibly tired through it all and that didn't help me one bit. I missed my lunch because I had to reformat my summer reading essays and my essays from the night before, which sucked big time. At least I know better now! Everything is a lot of work and I'm just not in my best shape for doing it.

As for the mystery of the hacker, nobody even knew that the newspaper had a twitter account and they were every bit as annoyed as us, so the mystery still remains unsolved.

I have work tonight from 5-close. I don't have much work to do, but I just hate to be working until 10 or later when I've been awake since 5:30 and busting my ass. Because of work, this is probably going to be my only post for the day.

One essay down, one to go!!!!

First Day of Senior Year

First thing's first, it wasn't nearly as awful as I expected! Stats was easy, the 2 English essays are hardly "essays," just "getting to know you" type things; Economics seems interesting, Morality class is blehhhh, Honors Government seems like a blast, Newspaper is still ehhh, and AP Bio is going to be very very fun!

They started the day off with a surprise pep rally complete with donuts, a juggler, and breaking a world record! That's right, we broke the world record for most people simultaneously thumb wrestling!

AND ON THAT NOTE, GOODNIGHT

Dun dun DUNNNNN

SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW AND I'M SUPER SCARED LIKE I AM NOT READY FOR ANYTHING THIS SEMESTER FROM SCHOOLWORK TO EXTRACURRICULARS TO THE VISOR TO THEATER TO MY JOB TO COLLEGE APPLICATIONS I AM NOT MENTALLY PHYSICALLY OR EMOTIONALLY PREPARED FOR THIS I CAN'T I CAN'T I CAN'T I CAN'T
On the bright side, my mom is making Chicken Parmesan so it's a solid night.

Summer Reading is Officially OVER

I finished annotating my book, although I'll probably go in and highlight a few random things before class starts. And I still haven't finished my Honor's Government homework, but I still have my lunch period to work on that. And now, I'll be making a CD for the car and then winding down for the night! I think I'll do some Pilates then clean out my drawers to see if there's anything I could donate to Goodwill. I just need to distract myself from my worries about tomorrow and the semester in general.
I really don't want the night to end. I'd do anything to not have to go to school tomorrow. I'm nervous and scared, even though I ought to be excited since it's the first day of my senior year. I'm nervous about how I'll be able to hold up with all of my stress. I'm nervous about how I'll make my schedule work with me. I'm scared by all the work I'll have to do, and how alone I'm going to be without Andy. I don't want the night to end at all. I'm so so stressed and worried, I don't wanna do this.

Sneeze post

My allergies are acting up today and I can't stop sneezing!!!! It's really obnoxious. I'm struggling to type this between the watering of my eyes and my need to grab tissues every thirty seconds. It's ridiculous! You can call me Emily the Red-Nosed Reindeer for now.

Oops forgot to switch out the laundry like my mom told me to oops

Since I finished my essay, I started cleaning out my closet finding stuff to donate to Goodwill. If there's one thing I don't have, it's closet space. It doesn't matter that much since a year from today I'll be moved in and getting ready to go to college, but it's still annoying.

Cooking Adventure of the Day: Eggs

Eggs are probably my favorite breakfast item. They're wonderful any way you cook them, and there's infinite possibilities with them! You can scramble them with cheese, meats, and veggies, you can make an omelette, you can make fantastic breakfast sandwiches with them, you can fry one and put it on a burger, you can poach, fry, bake, and boil them and they're fantastic! My all-time favorite breakfast food is Eggs Benedict. Just ohhhh my god eggs are like the potato of protein (potatoes are hella versatile, which is why I say this)! I even got Andy, who disliked breakfast food until he dated me, to fall in love with eggs! He makes sunny-side-up eggs almost every day!

Even though I can do almost everything with an egg, I simply cannot figure out how to cook an egg over easy or sunny-side-up. Every time I try, I'm left with at least one third of the egg being raw and inedible. It's definitely something I need to work on.

IT IS FINISHED

I FINISHED THE DAMN ESSAY YASSSSSS EMILY YASSSSSSSSS I HAD 1,007 WORDS THIS IS GREAT I'M FREE I'M FREE I'M FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

39 WORDS LEFT ON MY ESSAY I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS!!!!!

I have a really bad headache and the right half of my face hurts like crazy. I tried aspirin and taking a brief nap, but neither really helped at all. I'm starting to think that I get stress-induced headaches, but that doesn't really explain too well why half of my face hurts.

Work Last Night

Last night I got out of work at 11... It's looking like it's gonna be that late on Tuesday, too.... I can't have that going on, I'm gonna lose my mind!!!!! There was a really adorable little girl who came into the store dressed as Elsa from Disney's Frozen and she was precious! Apparently she wears her Elsa dresses every day: they had to buy her four dresses because she'd never take them off! We had some Frozen character socks, but we sold out of them the week before she came in! Funnily enough, two of my coworkers were arguing over which movie was better, Frozen or the Fast and Furious movies. I think that girl settled that argument pretty well.

I'm heading in to work now. Wish me luck! This is probably "goodnight," too. Oh well!

OOPS JK I HAVE 817 WORDS THIS IS BETTER THAN EXPECTED

I got 801 words on my essay, WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got some annotations done, but I can always do that on my break or later tonight by lamplight or something. All is well in this girl's world! It's just such a big relief to be almost finished with this homework. That was one of my biggest stressors.

I FINISHED THE QUOTE REFLECTIONS OH MY GOD YASSSSSS

I'm so mad that I have to work tonight! At improv, our fearless leader Bob is doing the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge along with two other players who were nominated on stage! All the proceeds from the show are going to ALS, and they'll be matching donations. Personally I just wanna see them get buckets of ice water poured on them!

8/23/14

Good morning everybody! I'm off to a solid start this morning: I ate a healthy breakfast and exercised a little. It wasn't much, but it's a great start. I have a lot to get done today. My goal is to finish my quote reflections and annotating my book before I go to work at 4, and then to get to at least 800 words on my essay. I would love to just enjoy my last day of summer break tomorrow, so the more I get done the better. I also plan on exercising at least a bit today. I've gotten in such bad shape since I was in New York, and I need to do what I can to get to where I ought to be health-wise.
