I DON'T WANNA DO ANYTHING

As much as I despise the song, "Lazy Song" by Bruno Mars basically sums up my day. I have no motivation. I want to nap. I don't want to go to school tomorrow. I wanna jump off a cliff when I get to Honors Government... I wanna jump off a cliff just because I can.... 

Welp, my biology homework passed by surprisingly quickly! Now I just have to work on my Stock Market project for Economics and my domestic violence research paper for Morality! Aaaaaaand all the chores my mom has lined up for me...

I also want to try to get some exercise today. It just occurred to me that I'm going to be in Aruba over spring break, which means swimsuits and beaches and stuff... 

I wonder if I can match the pageviews I had last month.... I need about 100 more by the end of the day to get there, but I think I can handle that! Maybe. I really don't know. I guess it doesn't make much of a difference in the end, all that matters is that someone, somewhere is reading my blog and knows that I exist, and that's pretty freaking cool.

Oops...

Ohhh yikes I feel really bad because I've basically ignored my other two blogs all through the past week. I've gotta try to be better about posting on those blogs, but I've just been so so so so busy over break. I mean even my personal blog (this one) hasn't had nearly as many posts on it as per usual! Holidays always kinda mess me up when it comes to my motivation and stuff.

Also, I completely forgot that December is tomorrow and I still need to get some presents for people... oops.....

That shows how much attention I've been paying to the time all-around. 

I really need to kick my ass into gear with my homework- I haven't done a single thing that I had planned to do over break as far as the essays and projects go...

Yesterday

Yesterday I spent the day with Andy which is why I didn't blog at all. It was a fantastic day all around, and I already can't wait to see him again over Christmas break!

Black Friday

Today marked my first Black Friday working, and ohhhh boy was it something. I'm sure it's nothing compared to what workers at larger retailers like Walmart and Target or electronics/toy sellers deal with, but overall there was just a huge amount of people that I dealt with today. Nobody was really rude though, as I had expected them to be. I think a lot of people realized that "Hey, maybe these people have been here since some ungodly hour working and dealing with shitty people so I'm not going to be one of them!" It was pretty sweet. 

I got sent home early THANKFULLY. I'm not remotely in the mood to do any work, I'm beyond tired out. However, I need to do SOMETHING since I haven't done a damn thing all Thanksgiving Break.

Thanksgiving

Yesterday was long, but filled with food and overall very enjoyable. After eating Thanksgiving Lunch/Dinner with my family and celebrating my cousins' birthdays, I napped for awhile and then my dad and I drove home. My sister and mother went Black Friday shopping last night and then this morning. It snowed a ton overnight. 

When my dad and I got home, I went and filled my car with gas. Craving a Starbucks chai, I caved into my protest of the Starbucks where I used to work and went in and got one. It was delicious. I also tried it with soy milk and that was also really good! The craziest thing for me was the realization that a year ago that day I had been working the evening shift on Thanksgiving. It was kinda surreal; I've wiped a lot of my experience with Starbucks from my memory. They had a completely new staff working there, so now I don't really need to avoid going there since nobody there knows me anymore. 

When I was officially home I took a long nap/played Kim Kardashian Hollywood because I am an addict with no shame, washed some dishes, then made myself mac and cheese with bacon bits. Overall, it was a solid night.

Goodnight!

I really don't feel like going upstairs right now, or even moving for that matter.

What I'm Thankful for this Thanksgiving

Since Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I'm in a procrastinating mood right now, I want to go over all the things I'm ever so thankful for. I know I complain a ton, but I'm still very happy with my life. Here is the list, at least off the top of my head.

• I'm thankful for my family, especially my sister, for always being there for me. I'm really gonna miss my sister next year. Even though she annoys me a lot sometimes, she still is my closest friend no matter what.
• I'm thankful for Andy. No matter what happens, he's always there for me and always takes out time in his day for me. He cares about me more than almost anyone else on the planet, and he still is always trying to do more and more for me.
• I'm thankful for "fam," Abby, Dylan, and Tony. They keep me sane and for the first time in my life make me feel like I have constant and consistent friends. Not to mention they're all fantastic people!
• I'm thankful for all my activities and clubs at school. Even when they're stressful, just being a part of Film Club, Theater, Art Club, Food Club, and Newspaper is such a gift and an amazing opportunity.
• I'm thankful for Jasmine, the girl I tutor. She's the absolute sweetest girl on the planet and she makes tutoring so so so so worth it.
• I'm thankful for *most* of my teachers like my AP Bio teacher, my AP English teacher, my Newspaper adviser, and then the teachers who I no longer have in class but still check up with me whenever they see me in the hallways or before and after school, like my AP Euro/APUSH teacher. They make all the sucky things about school suck infinitely less. 
• I'm thankful for my roommates from Envision. Even though we don't talk as much as we used to, they're still always there for me whenever I'm having a really difficult time in my life.
• I'm thankful for Netflix and mac & cheese because duh!!!!!
• I'm thankful for my pets, Molly and Oreo. They're hella cute and their cuteness makes even the worst days infinitely better. 

Once again, I had a brilliant game plan for getting a ton of my work done, but I haven't even remotely started it. I kinda hate that about myself.

This afternoon/evening

This afternoon was pretty ehh, but I learned a lot of new things. I walked my dog with my sister and got my Achilles' Tendon cut so right now it hurts to wear anything on my feet/around my ankles. I went to a laundromat for the first time and  successfully washed a giant quilted yard blanket thingy. Then, I spent two and a half hours at the local Country Club's restaurant waiting for what ended up being the worst grilled cheese sandwich I've ever had. Now I'm home for the night, and I think I'm just gonna keep on looking for stuff for my Christmas/Birthday list.

I'M DONE WITH MY LOYOLA APPLICATION WOOP WOOP

Shopping Shopping Shopping

I basically threw the to-do list I made for myself today out the window, and I've decided to work some more on my Christmas list/stuff for college list. I should probably finish my Loyola Application, but I'm not even remotely in the mood to do that. I also have a scholarship application to do, as well as a few additional outside scholarships that I can work on. Aaaaand there's always the two projects, homework, and research paper that's worth over half of my grade for the semester that I can do....

Or I can put that all off.

Yesterday

All I can say about yesterday was that it was terrible and I hated every single second of it. On the bright side, I DON'T HAVE SCHOOL TODAY THANK THE POWERS THAT BE! I also don't think I failed my AP Bio test yesterday. That whole thing could've gone infinitely worse.

Everybody in general yesterday was so so mean to each other regarding the whole Ferguson situation. It really upsets me that absolutely nobody can treat people like human beings with dreams, aspirations, hope, and dignity. People talk about the protesters and rioters like they're animals, people talk about Mike Brown as if he's an animal, people talk to other people with differing opinions like they're animals. It's like the whole world forgot that the people around them have value, and that's just wrong.

I'm not even remotely in the mood to do anything; I don't know how on earth I expect to study honestly. It'll be a miracle if I can keep my grades up. 

Apart from that amazing news, today was rough. I had an in-class essay, a test that I forgot I had, and uggggggh Honors Government is the worst. Also, I'm incredibly upset with the fact that there is no such thing as justice since Officer Darren Unarmed-Black-Teenager-Killer Wilson got off scot free. It's just fucked up on so many levels and I can't do justice to discuss it.

GUESS WHAT?!

I GOT INTO DEPAUL AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My parents are still making me apply to freaking Loyola though, grrrrrrr....

GRRRRRR

My bio assignment is both easy and incredibly difficult!!!!!!!!!!!!

11/23/14

Today has been more ehhhhhhh than yesterday; there's no fun online shopping and seeing my friends and stuff and a lot more work/running around. I've been doing AP Bio work all  day. Tonight My family is having a little thank you reception for all of my dad's campaign volunteers, so I don't know if I'll be able to blog later or not. 

Fam Night

Last night was fam night with Abby and Dylan! Tony wasn't able to make it, unfortunately, but we still had a fun night. The three of us drove to Panera in my car and had dinner. Abby had mac and cheese in a bread bowl with lemonade, Dylan had broccoli cheese soup in a bread bowl with tea, and I had a pick 2 with mac and cheese and the Asian sesame chicken salad with a strawberry smoothie and a chocolate pastry. It was a solid meal. 

Through the rest of the night, the three of us watched Bob's Burgers, The IT Crowd, and Skyfall while googling attractive European soccer stars. Overall, it was a wonderful night!

Online shopping is kinda the best when you don't have to pay for a single thing! That's the best part about the whole Christmas/Birthday list making thing. I'm not really being that productive, but.... oh well.

Good Morning!

Right now I'm desperately searching for things to put on my Christmas list- I never know what I want! It's even more difficult because my birthday is a little less than a month after Christmas too, so I may as well just work on both now!
