I pretty much gave up on my Beowulf essay! I'll be at school so early tomorrow that I can finish it easily enough before school.

Even though I got a lot of rest today, I still feel really tired and bleh and sick. I just need to finish and tighten up this essay, then I'll be in good shape to get to bed. Hopefully early; my sister needs to get to school early so it's not really a late-start Thursday for this girl. I just want the week to end.

Today was easily the best day of the entire school year for me. My mom let me sleep in and go to school around lunchtime, I got Chipotle, did my nails, and finally finished the first issue of the newspaper and sent it to print. Newspaper was the only class I went to today, thanks to round 2 of the Revolutionary War Day. I wish every day was like today!

Goodnight!

I officially give up for the night! I got pretty far on my essay. I just have to finish one body paragraph and the conclusion, and then read through it and fix my errors and clumsier language. I'm pleased, but also beyond tired. Sleep tight!

Tomorrow is going to be a ratchet day for me- glasses, no shower, hair up, no jewelry, minimal makeup, sleeping in a lot. I NEED IT!!!!! I have to get better by Saturday when I go up to Cleveland and visit Andy and do my workshops. If I get as much done as possible now, I can get to bed super early tomorrow night. I'm talking like, 9:00ish. That's be a miracle.

It's kinda sad that I've reached a point in my life where getting to bed early is a dream come true, literally. This must be what getting old feels like.

The math wasn't too painful. Now back to the essay...

I have to step away from my English essay to work on my math and other homework. I really should have done what I could last night, but I was just too lazy... I have to get better about that.

Also, I just changed my domain name because I was beginning to think that the "foodandstuff" was pretty inaccurate since I hardly get to posting recipes. Oops!

Today was a very interesting day. I spent most of the day outside with the majority of the senior class for the "Revolutionary War Living History Day." Basically, all the Honors Government students and anybody who had the Honors Gov. teacher last year gets together and sets up a bunch of stations to teach area fourth and fifth graders about Ohio's only Revolutionary War fort (Fort Laurens). The program is really elaborate and fantastic. This year the teacher got a $50,000 dollar grant from the state of Ohio, and believe me, he put it to use. The program has authentic costumes, equipment, guns, EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN. They have a printing press, a trebuchet, a working cannon, muskets galore, all kinds of authentic tents and furniture, and surveying equipment. They even brought in a horse this year! One cool thing that they're doing with the program, starting this year, is taking it on the road. They'll get to go to Marietta, Ohio, Cincinnati, Columbus (performing in the lawn of the Statehouse, no less!), and possibly Mount Vernon.

My station was "writing letters home to Ma and Pa," which was the easiest station to work because you didn't have to interact with anyone and you pretty much just stand around all day. It was still so interesting seeing everything going on at once.

I'm ridiculously tired right now and I have a terrible headache. I'm gonna try to get to bed early.

Today was pretty slow. Not a lot happened except I found out that I'll get to visit Andy this Saturday! I'm pretty excited about that. Also, I'm thinking about restarting the school's film club since I don't have to worry about play rehearsals and stuff. It'll be nice, if I can do it.

I'm kicking Homework's ass!!!!!!!

My sister left her driver's license in my dad's car, so it looks like I'll be driving her to work and can get myself some ice cream! One craving down, one to go!

I'm really really really craving ice cream and Biscoff cookie butter. That's all I need right now. Just that...

I feel much better after having left the show. I'll miss my theater friends and the thrill of performing, but I know I'll be okay and better off in the long run. Yesterday I did a fair deal of homework, but I still have a long way to go.

Last night was also my dad's big 50th Birthday Bash, and it was pretty fun excluding the fact that we were outside and it was cold and it made my sickness worse. We rented the Swenson's (a local drive-in burger place that is fantastic) food truck and it was glorious! There was a little mix up with the fry cooks where they gave my grandma jalapeno poppers instead of chicken nuggets, but it was wonderful to get all that food!

I've done it

I quit the play. I can't believe I did it.

9/12/14

This is one of the worst days of my life. The cast list came out, and I was completely blindsided. The director didn't double cast the show and I got a really shitty part. I felt really really awful, and I think I might quit the show. I want to talk it through with the director, but I just don't know. I'm already overstretched as it is, and my health is turning to shambles and I don't think I can handle the time and the effort for something I don't care about.

Goodnight

I'm done, I'm defeated, I give up. Goodnight. Hopefully tomorrow will be ok. Just not terrible, that's all I want. Just a day where I don't want to cry my eyes out and I can actually concentrate on something. I wish I had the power to give up everything, but with the classes I'm taking that is not an option. My only hope is to make it through this semester. Then I know that I'll survive this year.

I finally finished the lab report for AP Biology, but I still have a bunch of work to do tonight alone.What's even worse is that I don't even get to enjoy sleeping in tomorrow because my mom scheduled a dermatoligist appointment at 7:45... That and then getting bagels with my sister was the only thought getting me through the week, and now it's gone.

I did another homework! It was a big one, this time!!!! Now onto the next one...

I did ONE homework... that's gotta count for something...

9/10/14

Today was a pretty boring day as far as school goes. Just a lot of bleh. On the bright side, tomorrow is a late start Thursday, so at least I'll get to sleep in!

I had callbacks after school. I'm feeling fairly confident about the play in general, so yay!

After callbacks, I went to my sister's golf match. There was a tornado warning so I was trapped there for quite some time with her and her team. I'm glad to be home now, I just have zero motivation for working on my homework!

Goodnight, y'all!

Don't let the bedbugs bite!

Goodnight, y'all!

Don't let the bedbugs bite!

Awww the showmance in my improv group ended and they're both really sad and it's bleh. Breakups are the worst, whether it's your own or friends breaking up.
