Sooooo I don't really want to work on my essays and stuff, so I'm taking a break to work on scholarship applications for DePaul!

Ugggggggggggggggggggggh I don't want to work..............

I can't concentrate at all, so I'm going to take a nap. It just dawned on me that I ought to go over my lines some more. I haven't looked at my script since Christmas break...

For now, sleep is just fine.

I'm currently struggling to find the motivation to at least outline the paper I have due Wednesday for English. If I can finish the outline by the time I go to bed, I'll be in excellent shape! Honestly all I want to do right now is make some art, but I'm out of canvases and low on paint and I'm too disgusting to go to JoAnn Fabrics right now. Maybe if I shower I would, but I'm super sore and not even remotely in the mood to move.

10 days until I'm 18..... Wow....

Welp, I've already goofed up on both of my diet goals for today. I've only done 44 minutes of Wii Fit exercise, and I had a TON of sugar during lunch thanks to an insatiable chocolate craving. I'm going to have to exercise some more later on today so that I can get back on track. I'm also going to cut back a bit on dinner that way I don't use up as many calories. Maybe I'll do some pilates or get back into Wii Fit again. I may just do my own thing; it all depends on how much time I have left in the end!

It's really snowy and gross out today, so I don't know if I'll actually be able to go to pick up art supplies. I guess that's all the better for my wallet for the time being! I also have gotten a few more likes on my dorm art picture, but that isn't exactly "conclusive" so I shouldn't really be going crazy buying stuff anyways. 

Diet Update

Today I weighed in at 161.1 pounds!!!! I'm so close to having lost 5 pounds, it's driving me crazy! Just to help myself lose it more quickly, I'm going to avoid sweets for the day and exercise for at least one hour on Wii Fit, in addition to doing my daily plank, squats, and whatnot. I'm excited!!!!!!

Goodnight!

I have a bit of a headache right now, so I'm going to head to bed. Hopefully something comes of the art business. I'd really love that! So far I've gotten a few likes on the photo, so we'll see how things are going tomorrow. If I don't have anything by 3:00 tomorrow, I won't get a TON of supplies, just a few canvases and some stencils for myself and for making some "sample work" to put online. I'll still have to do some work exercising and then working on my essay for English. No matter what, I'm going to make sure that I have a productive day tomorrow. 

TA DA

Les Grosses Bises

Welp, that's the Art I made! I wish I had a stencil for the letters, then they'd look SO much better. They kinda ruin the work, otherwise. I'm kinda interested in possibly creating a lot of simple yet cool dorm artwork for myself and other potential DePaul students, so I posted this picture on the DePaul Facebook page, and hopefully something will come out of it! I really miss painting and everything, even though I wasn't really good at it. However, if I can get my hands on some stencils and other tools, I could make a nice little business making simple and relatively cheap artwork. I'll have to calculate the price of a custom painting based off of the cost of supplies, shipping, and profit. I really hope a few people would be interested, because I'd really like to develop more!

Today has been reeeeally dull... I just want to relax for a bit, but I also feel a creative surge coming on. It's kinda weird. I had a really good idea for some artwork, but right now my dad is in my art space which is kinda annoying. I may try to grab a canvas or something and take it back to my room. I also want to work on my collage that I've been putting together since middle school. I just want to be left alone to do some art shtuff. Blargh.

Everything's better with David Tennant

1/11/15

Today has been pretty uneventful. All I've done is work out, watch Hamlet, and get roped into running errands with my dad. I'm pretty tired out. I'm just glad I don't have school tomorrow!

I've been trying to get through Hamlet, but reading it alone isn't doing much good for me. Sooooo I'm watching the BBC version with David Tennant on YouTube instead!

Last Night

Last night was a ton of fun! Andy and I went into Medina and went out to dinner at the restaurant that I went to with my family about two weeks ago. It was pretty lovely. We had about 5 different waiters/waitresses, which was kinda funny but also kinda annoying. After that, we walked around downtown Medina for a little bit (it was freezing cold so this was not the best decision), then went back to his house and had a Parks and Recreation marathon. It was really wonderful. 

He's actually heading back to school on Sunday now, but I'm happy that I was able to spend some time with him before he had to leave. I don't really know when I'll get to see him again. Next Saturday I'm going to be heading up to West Side Market in Cleveland with the Food Club, and if he wanted to he would be welcome to join us. I don't know if he would want to, though. He may be coming down to visit me for my birthday weekend, but that's not quite certain yet. I really hope he does. My birthday wouldn't be as special without him. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, though. Other than that, I don't know the next time I'll get to see him. Hopefully in February I'll finally be able to go up to CPH College and then see him afterwards, but I don't know; my mom always seems to have things scheduled the days that I would head up to Cleveland. Coincidence? Yeah, probably.

Regardless of when I get to see Andy next, I had a really wonderful time with him last night and that's what matters.

1/9/15

Today was the last day of the semester (FINALLY)!!!!!! It was alright, we didn't really do too much in school. Mostly, we just watched movies or talked throughout the entire period. If every day was like that, school would be a lot more bearable.

After school, Dylan asked me to come to "Philosophy Club." I didn't even know we had a philosophy club, but it was a really fun meeting! It didn't really feel like we were talking about philosophy so much as we were chatting about movies and personal experiences and the like. I'm definitely going to go back. I'm leaving now to head to Andy's, and I'm pretty excited!

Goodnight!

Tonight was pretty relaxing. I'm not really looking forward to the whole "going back to school" bit again. I'll have to make do with it, I guess. On the bright side, I get to see Andy tomorrow night before he heads back to school on Saturday! I'm looking forward to that. 

I managed to hammer out two and a half essays, and my teacher pushed back the deadline so I can quit working on that! Woo!

I really don't want to work on these essays right now, but if I don't I'll be struggling to finish them Saturday Morning and that won't be good. If I can do two and a half essays tonight, I'll be in great shape. If I completely finish, even better! Ugggggggggggggggggh I just don't wanna work at all...

I was able to breeze through my column like it was nothing! Now I'm going to do some chores for my mom before I work on any of the other essays or get back into reading Hamlet. I really ought to exercise some today, so I'll take a break to do some Wii Fit or some Pilates after I finish one essay. I want to do at least two today. If I can completely finish the work, I'll be overjoyed!

Snow Day #1

Ahhhh thank goodness for snow days! I loved being able to sleep in, and I've had a fairly laid back day. I had to take my car in to get some service. Turns out there was a dead chipmunk inside of my heating system! That was quite the surprise. After that, I came home, made myself a grilled cheese, and did some of my homework. I finished my AP Bio homework and I worked some on my next reading assignment for English. We're supposed to have finished reading Hamlet by Monday. I still have to work on my religion essays and my column for newspaper, but I think with the extra time I have I'll be okay. This definitely helped with the whole "waiting until next semester starts" thing. I'd love a snow day tomorrow, but I still have a project to present in Economics which I won't be able to do after Friday. 

Welp I've been Netflixing to my heart's content, and my sister brought me all kinds of chocolatey ice cream goodness! The night has definitely turned today around!

I GOT A SNOW DAY TOMORROW PRAISE BE TO THOR

1/7/15

Today was ehhhhh and I'm currently avoiding my homework by checking over and over again to see if I'll get a snow day tomorrow. Fingers crossed. If I do, I'm just not going to do anything tonight! 

I did pack myself a solid lunch and made a bitchin breakfast for tomorrow, though. I made an egg white omelette!
