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.

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.
