Tomorrow
Oh my goodness I'm going to be 18 tomorrow.... I'm sure a bazillion people are going to forget all about my birthday, but the people who matter will remember and that's what counts! Even though it's my birthday, I'm still going to be having an interesting time trying to balance my ankle, my shows, and my homework. There won't really be much time for celebrating, unfortunately.
Speaking of my ankle, I really need to take it easier tomorrow. It's super sore, and when I have the ice pack on it it almost stings! I just want it to be better and to go back to normal. Tomorrow, I at least won't have to climb any ladders or lift heavy loads. I don't want to return to the boot at any cost, so I'll take what I can get! I'll go easy on the stairs as well and try to take the elevator from time to time.
I also wish really badly that I could exercise again. I really miss seeing the visible results, and I'm worried that I'll gain back the weight that I lost from not being able to do too much. I am basically limited to crunches, arm circles, and anything upper-body, which I don't have to many options for.
So I just want to heal as fast as humanly possible, because I just want to be okay and to get back on track!

I did get pretty far. With my study hall tomorrow and on Friday before class, I should be able to finish the paper just fine, laptop or not! I'm just going to devote my final moments with battery to blogging, and just winding down for the night. I found the power-saver mode on this thing FINALLY so things are looking up a little bit!
I placed an order for not one, but two new chargers on Amazon.com and it should arrive by Friday! It's nice that I only had to pay $12.80 for two chargers, plus it'll be nice to have a backup/spare for when the next one breaks. I have the worst luck with chargers, really. I constantly need new ones or need to replace chargers.It's a pain in the ass, especially since phone chargers and the like are about $25-$30! That's a quarter to half of my average paycheck!!!!!
Welp, my parents weren't too keen on the spreadable items idea for a present because they want to give me something "more permanent" than that. They offered up the idea of a watch, but I never wear anything on my wrists save for a hair tie! It's really a stupid first world problem, but it's far more entertaining to try to think of a gift than to work on my research paper.

School today was fairly ordinary; nothing special happened. I'll definitely get to perform my show at the Area Theater Conference, so I'm pretty excited!!!! It's coming along so well! Also, somebody st my school apparently killed a 10-year-old boy when the kid ran in front of his car. It's pretty sad; I can't imagine the pain that boy's family is going through nor the pain that that student is going to have to live with for the rest of his or her life.
I'm pretty excited for my birthday tomorrow. It'll be nice to get to sleep in on my birthday!

Still not finished...
So I haven't finished my AP Bio take home test, but I have study hall tomorrow to do that in! I *think* we'll be working on our papers for Bio in class, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed there!

Today was my first day at school with my ankle injury. It was interesting, to say the least. I didn't need to use my crutches at all, thank goodness, but the boot itself was very very difficult to get used to. Tomorrow I'll be okay to move into a smaller brace, which will be much easier to walk around with. The boots are so clumsy! I almost fell down the stairs twice today, so after that I started using the elevators. Those are technically for people with crutches, but since I'm a "fall risk" I am an exception. It's not like anybody really guards the elevators anyways. You don't even need a key to use them! I may have broken the new elevator in the school's chapel; and it's the first time it was used! I'm looking forward to downsizing casts tomorrow.
Rehearsal went a lot better than I had expected! The people in my show knew their parts pretty well and were able to seem natural onstage, and those were my two biggest worries. With practices being daily now, that helps everything out SO much more, since the only place we can go now is up.
