Oh, and it's also my dad's 50th birthday today!

9/8/14

Auditions today went pretty well! There were a ton of kids who had never done theater ever before, so it sucks for them since there are only 10 speaking parts and our director is more likely to pick people he trusts and has worked with before...

I'm feeling pretty confident.

Other things from today:
My co-editor-in-chief had a hissy fit today because nobody had their stories completely ready and she was mad at the world for not bending to her will. She started snapping and yelling at everyone, even our adviser. Being around her gives me headaches. I appreciate her skills, but I do not appreciate the way she treats other people: as if all they are are means to an end for her. Preferably an end where she gets all the praise for her contributions.
It's really annoying, because while I'm busting my ass helping people out any way I can, writing my three stories in three days, and editing stories for the paper she won't even take the time to write one! I understand that she does design work, but if she's going to enforce a standard, she sure as hell shouldn't be exempt from it. That's my philosophy. I just feel bad about the situation overall.

Goodnight

I'm too tired to carry on right now. I did a ton of work this weekend, and I know that only more is coming my way. It's super reassuring! Goodnight, don't let the massive amounts of work bite!

9/7/14

It's been a relatively lazy Sunday for me. I've just been working on homework and working on my monologue for auditions tomorrow. I'm pretty nervous. I'm sure I'll get a good part, but it's still a nerve-wracking experience. Just uggggggggggggggh nerves!!!!!

Goodnight, Everybody!

Sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite.

WOO I GOT ANOTHER HOMEWORK DONE YAAAAAAAAS EM YASSS

9/6/14

Today was my last day as an LTE for Famous Footwear. I'll hopefully pick up work again sometime in November, I'm not quite sure exactly when yet. It was a slow day, but I made my sales goal and I think I met my numbers as a whole. Fingers crossed that the district manager hires me back! Now my focus is shifting  to school and especially the Fall play this year, which is Neil Simon's Fools. It's a comedy and a good show, so yay, but there's also only ten speaking roles. I'm sure I'll get one, but I can't help but get nervous.

WOOT WOOT ONE OF MY HOMEWORK'S IS DONE WOOT WOOT

9/"4"/14 (AKA Why School Sucks)

Last night my sister had a golf match that ended at 9:00 and I had a ridiculous amount of homework, so I didn't have time to post anything yesterday.  On the bright side, it was the first of the "late start Thursdays" where school doesn't start until 9:20. It was fantastic. School still was rough because of the ridiculous amount of homework I have to do and all the damage the stress of keeping up has caused me. I've already gained weight even though I'm eating less from the lack of time to exercise, I have constant headaches from tension, I've been having a lot of stomachaches from worrying, and being sleep deprived has been killing me.
     This is the first year that school has had such obvious and negative effects on me physically, mentally, and emotionally, and I'm only two weeks in. I thought last year was bad, with my breakdown in October, but right now I'm in much much worse than I ever was last year.

Thank goodness we're starting "late-start Thursdays" tomorrow....

Oops my 9/2/14 post accidentally got deleted!

Also, in response to the issue of the summer reading essay's and my English teacher- I actually did surprisingly well on the essay! I got a C-, whereas most kids got an F or a D-.

9/3/2014

So today was pretty ehhh, but I had the pleasure of CALLING THE FREAKING WHITE HOUSE during my Honors Government class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I quit. Goodnight!

Welcome to Struggletown, Population: ME

I DON'T WANNA

I DON'T WANNA GO TO SCHOOL TOMORROW AND I DON'T WANNA DO MY HOMEWORK TONIGHT AND ALL I WANNA DO IS CUDDLE ANDY AND EAT MAC AND CHEESE LIKE IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR I DUNNO

Ok, I've done some homework! I did my Economics and wrote interview questions for Newspaper, which is an ehh start. I still have to finish Beowulf and write a thesis statement and study dates for English, then I have a ton of Stats homework, and a worksheet for Honors Government. It's still gross.

Labor Day

I had to work today, and currently I'm procrastinating from both cleaning my room AND doing my mountain of homework. What fun!!!!!

Last night Andy stopped by to visit me and it was the best part of my week. We watched The Spoils of Babylon, which basically makes fun of the soap opera Dallas, and it was extremely funny.

Adventures in Babysitting: 8-29-14

Megan and I babysat for the guests at my mother's friend's daughter's wedding. I had done it before; there was only one little girl there and she fell asleep withing 5 minutes. It was easy money, and that was how I expected it to be the other night. Oh my goodness were we wrong.

We were told ahead of time that the mothers of the kids would head back to the hotel with them to get them in their pajamas and put them to bed. This did not happen. We were also not given any estimate of how many kids there would be. THERE WERE 10 CHILDREN. TEN HYPER UNCONTROLLABLE CHILDREN. Eight of them were relatively docile, but there were two girls who were little jerks. One was 11 and was absolutely determined to stir the pot in any way. She tried to swim in the hotel's fountain, she repeatedly tried to sneak out, and she kept trying to steal money from my wallet, just to name a few things. The other girl was 3, and it was obvious that her parents have never said no to her ever. All she did was scream and beg for sugary things. It was hell.

And you know how much we were paid for this arduous task? $50. That's $10 per child, split between my sister and I. Nowhere close to enough for the ordeal we went through that night.

All I've done today is homework, blargh.
