Christmas 2011

I think all I needed was a little Christmas spirit! Say hello to my Charlie Browns tree! Coming home from college was a little bit of a slump. I didn't have very much Christmas spirit, but when I saw my baby tree, I could FEEL Christmas! Merry Christmas, And a happy new year!

Two people never have the same plan. I have found this through experience, painful experience. You might want somethig badly but there are people who can get in the way, or foil your plans. Some plans are worth fighting for but this one I am giving up on. No more trying, He is not worth it!

What to do???

Three days till spring break, after break I have 38 days left of school. I cant wait for it to be over, it has seemed to be takeing much to long. Footloose is over, but soon we will be putting on a dinner theatre. I have the auction to keep working on but after that I have sooo much free time, I have no clue what I will do with myself.... maybe I can start job shopping again.

Loose, Footloose, kick off your sunday shoes!

Today: I stained four twelve foot benches, smashed my fingers flipping one over, I stained my hands( not because I wanted to but because the benches were so difficult, but it did make my hands nnice and tan), helped paint a set of lockers, and I practically bathed in paint thinner. That is an intresting smell to have stuck to you all day!

FLASHMOB!!!!!!! We tackled Uptown during the farmers market, downtown, Starbucks outdoor area, and Costco. It was a great way to advertise for the upcoming presentation of Footloose.( by the way it opens friday and runs weekends till the 17th, Fri & sat at 7, and sun 3)  now if only I could get my homework finished.......

Yet more lack of grace, organization, a real life..... ready to graduate!

I have not posted since October! Well not much different has happened since October, so you guys are not missing out on much.

I am now a dancer in Peninsula High Schools  production of Footloose. I still have my radio show(although the last few weeks I had to miss it). I tutor first, second, and third graders through CISP, and soon I will be tutoring for Algebra. I am a writer, photographer, and Public relations manager for the Peninsula Outlook, and as of the last issue I now have my own column highlighting local music. I am still a member of CIP( I need to find out when the next meeting is...) I have youth group ( I have to make sure I don't forget this week), and I need to keep going to church. Along with my AP classes I have my Saturday. So for those of you who thought I was MIA, nope I am just the new definition of busy!

Yesterday was the best saturday I have had in a while! Four of my amazing friends spent the night. We all slept on my bed, when we woke up in the morning we stayed up for about an hour, ate a million oranges, Oreos, brownie ice cream, and pretzels. What better to do after being awake for only an hour? Get back in bed and cuddle! We all finally got out of bed at five... in the afternoon. So I had a total of seventeen hours of sleep(the same amount as an average lazy kitty cat)! which apparently was not enough because by midnight I was struggling to keep my eyes open and finally fell asleep.

School takes so much energy out of me! I am ready to graduate and be free of high school and its pitiful drama! I will be at college in six or seven months, depending on which school I go to. There is another issue, fining out which school I will have money to go to! If only I had a money tree or won the lottery, or one of those cliche money obtaining circumstances.

Oh well, life is busy, messy reality. Guess for now I am just dealing with it. Maybe eventually I will become capable of walking down the path of life gracefully.
