Last Night

Last night was truly truly wonderful. In the end, only 3 of the 12 people I had invited were able to make it over, but that just made it infinitely better. My homecoming date, Dylan, and my friends Abby and Tony came over. We chatted a lot and talked about a lot of deep stuff, and we also laughed a lot, played table tennis, and watched Rent and teared up. At the end of the night, we decided that the four of us need to do more things together on a regular basis. For the first time in a very very very long time (I'm talking elementary school here), I felt like I had found my own friends and my own niche.

Cat Escape

So while I was calling my dog back in from the yard, our cat attempted to escape the house. He's declawed in the front, so he isn't allowed to go outside or else he'd be unable to fight off predators, climb trees, hunt, etc. He'd probably die if he got very far. Thankfully, I was able to hit the garage door button and block him off from escaping so he was trapped inside. He hid under my dad's car, so my sister and I couldn't get him out. Eventually, with poking and prodding him with a broom, we were able to get him out and then captured him and took him inside. He's mad at us now because Megan dropped him, but that's what he gets for being a lil' shit.

HOLY SHIT I ACTUALLY HAVE FRIENDS COMING OVER TO MY HOUSE THIS HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE I WAS LIKE 12 OR SOMETHING OH MY GOODNESS THIS IS EXCITING OH MY HOLY SHITSNACKS

I'm done with homework for now. I need a break.

Homework

I'm actually getting really far on my homework! I only have AP Stats homework and AP Bio studying left! I should finish at least one of my math assignments before anybody even comes over. This is really relieving and exciting for me. It's kinda lame that so much of my life revolves around homework, but that's just how it is. Last night, I was getting my hair highlighted and cut, and my stylist was telling me about how her daughter in KINDERGARTEN has multiple homework assignments every night and how they have tests regularly. That's just insane and ridiculous, just like the rest of the American education system.

For a second, I looked into the SCAD application, but realizing that I need a portfolio where I have no such thing made me turn that one down!

I'm not in the mood to do homework today, but I'd rather finish most of it than be up late tomorrow doing everything.

I wanna go back to sleep. I have an awful headache right now and I'm not feeling the whole "homework" thing. Better to get it done today than to put it off, I guess.

10/18/14

Today was the first Saturday where I didn't have to wake up ridiculously early to go walking for my dad. It's been glorious!!!! Tonight I have a few friends coming over for a movie night. I'm pretty excited. Over half the people I invited weren't able to come, but there's still people coming and that's what matters!!!!

Goodnight

I'm ridiculously tired now, and my sister is expecting me to drive tomorrow so I'm giving up for the night. I hope I don't screw myself over on these next two tests.

Music From Tonight

This is what I've been listening to all night. I'm still super tired though.

Study Break

I can't focus on my economics. It's boring and uggggggggggggggggh I don't wanna do it!!!!! I really want a nap. I feel like I'm gonna be out cold once my head hits the pillow tonight.

I hate studying so much.

I wanna watch some Netflix

I wish I didn't have to study and stuff now. I just want to listen to music or watch movies or a show on Netflix. I just get so worn out. It's not even an issue of motivation, I'm just tired all the time. I cant wait for my schedule to get more relaxed in college. I wish I could take it easier for the rest of my life, but that's not gonna happen. I'm making it a goal, for my own mental health, to watch at least one movie per week outside of film club. It'll help me de-stress and it'll give me even more of an edge in filmmaking- you have to watch movies in order to know what you're looking for.

I've been listening to the Submarine soundtrack for the past few hours. It's so so so so gorgeous and ahhhhh Alex Turner is a beautiful and glorious man with a beautiful and glorious voice and beautiful and glorious songs!!!!!!

I DON'T WANNA DO HOMEWOOOORK

10/16/14

Today I didn't do much of anything. It was a late start day, which was glorious on so many levels! I tutored some, which was lovely. This Saturday I'm attempting to get the people from my homecoming group together for a movie night. I only have two definite yeses so far, and hopefully a few more people will RSVP soon.

My mom worries about me a lot because I never hang out with anybody outside of school, so this really helps her out as well as me.

I started Cry-Baby. It was rough, so I gave up.

Heathers was so good too! I wish it ended on a happier note, JD was a really cool character and I wish that he and Veronica could've worked it out.

Now I'm watching Heathers, and it's really interesting.

Submarine

Oh my goodness I'm in tears. I haven't felt something so acutely as Submarine made me feel heartbreak. It was a beautiful movie and had lovely visuals, shifts, soundtrack, actors, story, everything. This is definitely a new favorite for me. I wish I had seen this sooner! Now I just want to listen to Arctic Monkeys and stand out on a cold Welsh beach for several sunsets and dusks, no matter how damp and cold it is.

Submarine is really really really really really really really really good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I decided to watch Submarine instead! I mean, I can at least create a document where I can outline my Bio test essay so it's like I'm doing proper homework...

Today was a really uneventful day. I did ok on my Bio quiz, now I'm debating between studying for the test in that class on Friday or watching a movie for awhile. I don't actually have homework tonight, it's a rare occasion. Speaking of rare occasions, I got a 100% on my AP English research essay! It's rare when my teacher gives those out, so needless to say I was thrilled. It's just what my grades needed.

goodnight
