Exhaustion of a Saturday

Work was crazy busy today. I did a good amount of homework. As a result of these two factors, I am exhausted. That, and the fact that I once again decided to wait until it was late to post on here. Well, despite me being exhausted, my day was fairly productive. Right now, though, I'm just dreading this week. Grrr....

Oh, and I guess I'll share some more details of the surprise party yesterday. The food was great-an amazing caesar salad, bread and Broccoli Cheddar soup from Panera and a beautiful cake. Seriously, it was cool.

Must sign off now, so I may attempt to get some sleep....

Stamping Night-Or So I Thought

All right, this post will be shorter than normal, because I'm tired and I have to work tomorrow. But basically, most of my day was filled with homework, until night where my mom and I went to my friend Mariclare's house to stamp. Or so I thought. Turns out it was really a surprise birthday for me! I was kind of shocked at first, but then it went away, then I was touched by their sweetness. It was really fun too. There are now pictures on Facebook. I may or may post more tomorrow, but for now, I am SO tired. But basically it was great. Oh, and I did stamp some cards, which was good. 

Buenas noches,

Cinco de Marzo, 2009

Hello, another day, another blog post. In case you haven't noticed, I've been writing my titles in Spanish so that my life won't seem so boring. So far it's not working, but maybe someday it will work.

Anyway, not much today. Had History, with the Roman Republic, will probably get into Roman Empire next class. Did not do as much homework as I should've-oops. I'll have to do more tomorrow, especially since I work all day Saturday. Grrr, the next few days/weeks or so are not going to be fun.... 

On a lighter note, I saw a Spanish film that I checked out of the library, Volver. It was really good, but I was grateful for the subtitles. Even though I understood a lot of the Spanish, everyone spoke VERY fast. But still, it was good. Oh, another light note: I'm stamping tomorrow! I'm so glad, I'm in desperate need of cards. 

Destinations of desire for the day: Israel, London and Ireland.

Well, I better sign off.

El Cuatro de Marzo

So, today was my birthday! ¡Feliz Cumpleaños a mí! 

Overall, I had an OK birthday. One of the highlights was talking to one of my friends today on Skype-YAY!!! I was very happy to catch up with her, and since she's in London right now it has been a while since we had talked. 

School wasn't all that great, but it wasn't terrible, either. I'm trying hard not to think about the massive amount of homework that I have for the weekend....

After school, I had Panda Express, which was amazing, and a really nice cake. Oh, and then we watched the Pixar Short Films. 

And, I got a pretty good amount of Facebook wall posts and other wonderful birthday greetings, which made me pretty happy. 

Oh, and I did not have to clean my cats' litter box; that was pretty cool. 

Anyway, guess I should get to bed. I think one downside was that this is the first year that I really feel OLD. I have no idea why.

Destinations of desire for the day: Israel, LONDON, Rome,Ireland and Romania.

Un Día Más....

So, everything is kind of same old, same old right now. History was good, we got into Rome, which seems to have quite a bit of blood, guts, corruption and rape.... At least, that's my impression right now. Will probably change later. And hey, I definitely still want to go there. Also, there was mention of the legend of Romulus and Remus, plus the Sabine women story, which got me thinking of the movie "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" and now several of its songs are stuck in my head. In case you don't know, "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" is a 50's Western-esque musical that I saw with my friend Sarah a while ago. It's good, if really cheesy. You'll have to see it for yourself to see how on earth it relates to the Sabine women....

Work was slow, but in a good way. I actually got almost everything done! Yay! Though I now have the chorus to the song "Believe" by Josh Groban stuck in my head. I may explain later why that is, I'm too tired to now. And yes, I am capable of having multiple songs stuck in my head at the same time. 

Anyway, should probably get to bed soon, I'm really tired. Only one more day (un día más) until my birthday! That is sooo weird that I'm going to be another year older.

Oh, and today, my top three destinations I want to go to are: Jerusalem, Ireland and Rome.

Monday....

So, Monday has come and gone. Ugh. I guess classes went pretty well, though exactly one week from today I'm giving a speech! Ahhhh! So, I am already nervous about that. I really do need to stress out less.

It's freezing cold. I decided that I want to go to Jerusalem. I constantly change my mind about the number 1 place I want to go, so today it's Jerusalem. Don't ask me why. But, unless God can provide an amazing miracle sometime in August, I'm not going out of the country. 

: (

Um.... 2 days until my birthday! So weird. Not much else. Except that it's 18 degrees out. Ewwwww. And, I looked over my previous posts (bad idea) and I was appalled by my grammar. I may or may not change them so that they can be grammatically correct.

Survived Monday, Hoping to survive Tuesday, Looking forward to Wednesday.

Wait-it's March?!?!?!

So, I seriously cannot believe it's March. Already. It should be getting warm. Instead, it's 15 degrees. Yuck. Anyway, I went to church this morning (yay!), that was good, there was a baby dedication and communion. Then I decided that I NEED a car soon, because I hate needing to be picked up and dropped off all the time.

Later I went to Tribe (the young adult group at church), that was good, there were a couple new people, very cool.

And... I finished all the homework that NEEDS to get down today. Which is good. I am not happy that tomorrow is Monday, though.... Ugh. Plus, I'm not feeling too great, so that's another downside.... On the plus side, 3 days until my birthday!

PS. By the way: I still want to get out of the country! Yes, I am obsessive.
