Work wasn't that great. It was hectic and I felt like I couldn't do anything right. I was lazy for most of the day. I already have time management issues. Now, how to solve them.... Maybe I can go to more libraries or so now that I'm driving myself more. Because it's clear trying to study in my house doesn't always work. *sigh* I'd rather go to Europe, but sucky stuff comes first.

Labor Day 2009

Well, Happy Labor Day! I didn't work or have classes, but I did do math homework. Thankfully, now all homework is done except for some Astronomy review. Eww. That class is kind of kicking my butt. I'm not feeling confident about this class already. Maybe I should go to the Math center on Wednesday....

Anyway, I researched London and Paris stuff. Cuz I want to go so badly. I decided that maybe I should move to New Jersey-it's slightly cheaper to fly from Newark to London than O'Hare to London, right? Okay, not THAT much cheaper, but it's something! Didn't do much else. When I have breaks, I become a lazy bum, and that is not good. Especially since I want to be with my friends when I have breaks. Argh....

Not much else.

Saturday and Sunday, September 5th and 6th, 2009

Sorry I didn't update yesterday, I lost my mind.

Saturday I didn't do too much. Watched Camelot with the family at night (I am apparently the only one who likes it). Did math homework. Fun fun.

Today, I drove to church totally by myself (I can totally get used to this). Service was good. I was lazy for most of the afternoon. Then I met a friend at a nearby forest preserve. That was really nice. Then the young adults group. Yayness. I have some concerns about this missions conference I want to go to, though. I need to ask this week, but right now, it doesn't look likely that we'll get a group together. *sigh* I need to pray a lot about this. Because I am going no matter what it takes. I have to go; it looks amazing, and I need a spiritual high. If I don't go on something like this soon, I am going to lose it.

Harry Potter: Exhibition

So, today me and most of the family went down to see the Harry Potter Exhibition in the city!!! For a second we thought we weren't going to make it, but we did and it was SO WORTH IT. It had all sorts of amazing movie props and it was just so cool! I found another dream job... working in a Harry Potter exhibit or museum of sorts (maybe there will be a Harry Potter library in England someday... THAT would be a perfect job for me, even though it's highly unlikely). Anyway, I got a T-shirt and book from the gift shop, though I wanted to get a hat and a scarf and a keychain and all sorts of stuff, but not enough money. Ryan and Dad pitched in their money and got the Marauder's Map. I'm actually proud to be related to them. The rest of the museum was interesting too, but I loved Harry Potter the most.

Well, had Potbelly's for lunch and pizza for dinner. Tonight, my dad and I (and Kevin, though I have NO clue why) watched Valkyrie. It was very interesting and good, if slow at parts. Not sure what to do tomorrow. I'm just glad I have a five day weekend.

Um.... Spanish was good. Recognized one person (and, of course, my teacher). This will be my hardest Spanish class yet-but it should be fun. The rest of my day was kind of boring. But it was nice to chill, I guess.

I'm feeling so isolated these days. Like all of my friends have daily connections (i.e., they're at the same school) or they have all this fun togetherness, and I just feel... left out. Forgotten. Lonely. I know I SHOULD be content that God won't leave me, but that's easier said than done, not gonna lie. :-/ And it sucks, the people that I WANT to hang out with the most are the ones that are the least available or willing to let me hang with them.

And... I feel crushed that, to my memory, not a single male outside of the family has ever called me beautiful. All of my female friends have been called beautiful by a male... except for me. And I don't want to hear crap about how it shouldn't matter, it DOES matter to me. In my 19 years of existence, a male has never called me beautiful. What is wrong with me?!?!

Well, that was angst-ridden, depressing, and emo. I shouldn't be, especially since I'm going to the city tomorrow. I swear, one moment I'll be in an inconsolable funk, the next I'm totally fine. I hope these emotional mood-swings go away soon, or at least subside.

Well, today is our dog's birthday. She's five. And cute. I am so tired. Photo was actually okay, I made some okay negatives. For five bucks I had Asian food at school instead of a lousy PB sandwich. Math wasn't bad, I forgot my calculator, though. Astronomy was fine.

I'm so tired these days. Y mañana es español. I'm not looking forward to it, for some reason.... Probably because I liked having free days on Tues and Thurs.

It's September. Not possible. It cannot be possible. Argh.

Well, I didn't get nearly as much done as I wanted to, but I got most of the important stuff done. For lunch, we had Sonic, it was pretty good, I liked my milkshake the best. Got gas. I helped Kevin (at parts) with a computer game. Went to work. Work was okay. Came home from work. Listened to music. My life is boring. Therefore, my titles for these posts are boring.
