Dear Diary,
Today is Saturday, June 18th, 2011. Again, wow. It has been more than a year since my last blog post. I just read through all of my blog posts the other day all the way back to my eighth grade year. It's a weird feeling, seeing your life sort of flash right before your eyes like that. I also realized how my friend groups truly have changed over the past now 4 years. I have retained some friendships, and lost others. But hopefully my current group of friends will stay with me for the rest of my life. I again haven't brought in 2011, and it's almost halfway over! It's interesting to see how much has changed over this past year.
Junior year was tough. But I think it could have been made easier if I hadn't spent so much of my time procrastinating on homework assignments. While I read back to previous blog posts, I realized how I progressively commented on how I didn't use to be a procrastinator and now I definitely am. I used to be much more proactive in terms of coming home, completing homework assignments, studying, etc. What I think the cause of this is, honestly, is that I didn't talk to my friends in 8th grade and in middle school outside of school that much. We would talk on the phone occasionally and text occasionally, but not like it has been this past year. I talk to my friends all the time. This has been the case since the start of my high school career. I think it has led me to focus perhaps more on the social aspect of school that the schoolwork aspect. I still devote plenty of time to my schoolwork (much more than some of my other friends), but senior year is going to be even more difficult than junior year. I am about to embark on a journey taking four AP classes... yes, 4 AP classes. I'm insane, I know. I don't know what I am going to do. I thought that during junior year I wasn't going to have a life? Just wait, Meg. Taking 4 AP classes and worrying about college applications and such. But I've talked this over with my advisor and the college counselors and if need be I will drop one of my APs and join in on one of the science or history electives that are semester courses. Those will be fun, and I probably will regret dropping that one AP (most likely Spanish), but I have options. We'll see how it goes!
That's the past year in school, in a nutshell. In terms of friends, I mentioned the recently "created" group that was formed at the end of my sophomore year. Needless to say, they have stuck with me throughout this year and they have become my best friends. My friend Caitlin, especially, has helped me through a lot this year and has become my best friend. I talk to her about everything. I also have my friends Mary, Katherine, Sam, Jon, Rose... we all hang out together as much as possible. Of course I still have Jonah & Julie (along with Caitlin they make up my sophomore -- now junior -- friends). They have stuck by me this year too and I have stuck by them. They always know how to make me laugh. Jonah is definitely my best guy friend. I basically tell him everything too. We have become closer and closer since last year. The only problem I had friend-wise this year was that Jonah and I got in a huge fight where I thought I was going to lose him. He had been getting mad at me for not going online to talk to him and video chat with him for a few weeks because I had been studying for AP exams. I know he has anxiety and that he missed talking to me, I missed talking to him! But I kind of got mad and hurt that he would expect this much out of me when I was trying to study for exams and needed to sleep well. Julie understood, but then she tried to defend me and all of these feelings poured out onto Jonah, so they got into a fight. I remember being up until around 4 in the morning talking to Jonah and hearing about his fight with Julie. It was bad. But we're all ok now. I just wish sometimes that he would pay as much attention to me as he does with the leaving senior class/incoming freshman class. I just wish sometimes this year we could have talked about something else. Of course I'm still there for him though.
Caitlin and I have been through thick and thin this year. She has been having a tough time lately and has been contemplating many bad thoughts and I worry about her a lot. She's ok now, I just hope she can rough it out. I don't want to lose her. I won't release too much information about this situation to respect her privacy. I just hope that she can get over this and be doing better soon.
My family has been doing well. There have been a few spats here and there, and honestly they are because of me. I don't know if it's teen hormones or just me being irritable most of the time but I have been obnoxious lately. I feel bad because I love my parents and I love my brothers. It's just hard sometimes and I take it out on them. I hope to do better.
My grades this year were not at their best. I wish I could have brought up my History grade and my English grade. Those were definitely my two hardest classes this year. Hopefully it'll all be ok. I just worry about grades and test scores when it comes to fussing about college and how much deeper we are digging into this process. I'll talk more about college in my next blog post, since I have been rambling on and on.
Camp last year (as I reflected on this in my last post) was amazing. Unbelievable. I can't believe I won't be going back this year. I made so many new friends and developed connections with counselors (not as deep a connection as with my previous counselor Steph, but close enough!). I also had a short fling with someone last summer. The guy that I was with during that time wanted to pursue something but I saw how much of a player he was and I didn't want to pursue anything else. I wanted camp to be about my friends rather than a camp boyfriend, and I'm glad I chose this path. I had amazing experiences and I will never ever forget my time at Stone Mountain Adventures (SMA). I cried the last night and it was so hard to leave. Rose and I (my best friend from camp), are still in touch and see each other regularly. I just wish I could see all of them again.
I'm looking forward to the program I'm doing this summer though! I'm participating in the Cambridge Tradition, which is a camp at the University of Cambridge in England. I've always loved the school and I can't wait to go. I'm also super nervous. I will be taking classes in Molecular Medicine as well as Criminology (my major and minor). It will be a truly unique experience staying on campus. I can't wait!
As I aforementioned, senior year will be tough. But I'm hoping I will write in my blog more frequently to seek a support system here. We will all get through it, we can do it!
Currently I am in South Carolina with my family on vacation. I'm returning on Thursday I think back to my home. It's already been wonderful year, gorgeous and sunny!
I promise I will post again soon. I'm thinking maybe once a month posts as my senior year approaches? Maybe every two weeks? We'll see.
'Til next time Bravenet,
~Meg/GilmoreGirl1188 (I forgot that I had decided to use this smiley face, I thought I would bring it back. Gotta love Ms. Pacman).
P.S. As for Gilmore Girls episodes... I've actually taken a brief hiatus from watching Gilmore Girls (gasp)... I know! I haven't watched it since January. In the months of the holidays I started to watch a TV show called Friends (you've probably heard of it). I watched all 10 seasons and I loved it! I got the first three seasons for Christmas and recently started watching all of them again. I'm now on the last season. I will return to Gilmore Girls shortly and keep you updated. Hopefully my friend will also return my Season 5 and 7 DVDS.

Dear Diary,
Today is Tuesday, June 1st, 2010. Wow. It has been a while since I last posted. I haven't even greeted 2010, have I? I reflected on 2009, I believe. Well, in any case, bring it on 2010, although you are almost halfway over. I wish I had more time to blog. School has pretty much taken over my life and things have just built up to the point where I can't even breathe anymore. Stress has shivered down my body at least everyday that I have had homework and schoolwork to do. It builds up and now that the school year is coming to a close and is, for the most part, over, I'm looking forward to summer.
I'm going to recap what's been going on in my life and then discuss what I'm looking forward to in the future.
Lately, I've had more friends drama than anything else. My family has been stable, although I haven't been seeing them much lately because I just recently got my license and have been able to drive myself around! Anyway, I've just kind of drifted apart from my two good friends, Emily and Kelly. We both have to shoulder some of the blame, and I'm sad to see them go. I love them dearly as people and I know that we have had some good times over the past two years. It just got to the point where I couldn't deal with them anymore and they were dictating who I could be friends with, and even though they may defend themselves to some extent while trying to make amends, it just didn't feel worth enough to try to fight for. We're going to take some time apart this summer to think and go our separate paths. We've both changed a lot since we became friends, which I think has also added to it. Overall, I know it won't be easy dealing with the remainders and the grime of the friendship that has dwelled and stayed in place over the past two years, but I know we will all move forward and find where we are happy in our lives. I hope that we will both stay friends, just not as close as we once were. I'm a little worried that it will be awkward or hard to deal with at school, but hopefully the summer will give us some time apart.
I'm also planning to go to Six Flags this Thursday with some friends for a really, like 6 month, belated birthday party for me! It should be fun. I'm looking forward to it! I am however not looking forward to getting my exams back tomorrow. I've studied a lot over the past couple weeks to try to do well on these exams, and hopefully I'll do well. I'm still nervous in any case. Also, since I have my brother's middle school graduation tomorrow, I'm a little worried to see Emily because her brother is graduating as well. However, I think we'll be cordial and spend most of the time with our families. I just hope this whole debacle is civil-minded and I think I'll feel better once summer starts to have some time to relax and soak up some sun now that the school year is over!
The end of this school year was both awesome and hard at the same time. It was fun to spend time with a new group of friends that was sort of "created" at the end of the year, but hard to deal with other friends as well as deal with the work load of the end of the year that continued to build up as I continued to procrastinate. I hope to be better about that next year when I have to deal with the depths of one of the hardest years in high school.
You know what I just realized? I have been blogging since I think 7th grade. Wow! That's about 4 years of on and off blogging. Hopefully I'll get better about blogging on the weekends next year. Since I got my license, I think I'll be able to take some classes at my local country club to do Pilates as well as horseback ride before I leave for camp as well as horseback ride once a week during the school year. I'm also in the market for a job on the weekends next year. Hopefully work afternoons and early evenings. It's going to have to be flexible with my schedule, though. The workload's going to be awful.
I'm looking forward to my last year of camp this year. It's going to be such a heartbreaking moment when I have to leave for the last time. I've enjoyed my experience tremendously. I don't think anyone truly understands what it's like unless they go there. I wish everyone could experience it, but I know that's difficult to imagine. There are no words to describe my time, friends, and many people who have shaped how I am as a person these past 3 years and I don't know what I would have done or who I would be without them.
Thank you to everyone who has shaped me as a person and those who I will never forget. You know, or I hope you know who you are!
I'll continue the tradition of ending with one of my former YouTube videos. It was a request from another YouTube user using the song Check Yes Juliet. Enjoy!

Dear Diary,
Now that it's Winter Break and all, there have been many things on my mind. Mostly concerning, yes ladies and gentleman, relationships. What a surprise, right?
This past year has been difficult. I thought 2008 was hard, but 2009 hasn't been much better. My workload at school hasn't even been the most difficult problem; I'm coming out of the first semester with all A's, which I'm proud of. But again, that hasn't been the difficult problem in my life right now.
It's more about emotional issues. Since my parents were separated, I hadn't even thought of the possibility of them dating anytime soon. However, I was wrong. I know that it's human nature to date and I should want my parents to be happy. I do. It's just hard to see them date other people. It's a little uncomfortable for me, and I hate discussing it with them. It's something that I'm going to have to live with, though.
My friends have always talked about how much they don't like or hate their dad's girlfriends, mom's boyfriends, and step parents. Therefore, I don't think I'll like either one of my parents' couples. I don't expect to, and frankly, I don't think I'll want to either. I'm trying to keep an open mind, though, and hopefully I'll get used to the idea eventually. That's all I can ask for right now.
The other issue on relationships is my own. This is embarrassing to even talk about, even on my own personal blog, but I've only had one boyfriend. It lasted for a while, but it was superficial at best. The only times we ever spent together were at camp, and it didn't end very amicably. Besides that, I haven't had a boyfriend. I want one badly. I want someone to spend time with besides my friends. That may sound a bit selfish but doesn't everyone feel that way? Those who are happy being single, I don't know how they do it. I'm trying to focus on myself right now. It'll happen when it happens, I guess. We'll have to wait and see.
On a happier note, Christmas is in three days! Starting from November all the way through January 1st, it is my favorite time of year. My birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's... the spirit and joy is palpable everywhere! I love spending time with my family, enjoying the break from school and seeing the looks on everyone's faces when they open my gifts! I can't wait.
As for you fellow blog readers, what are your plans for Christmas? The day after Christmas I'm going to visit my grandparents in Ohio. For now, I'm staying at my dad's house until Christmas morning and then after opening presents and spending the first part of the morning with him, I'm going straight to my mom's house. It's an exciting time of year.
I hope you all enjoy it!
It looks like I can no longer embed YouTube videos, but just to finish them off, I'll give you the link of two YouTube videos since my last post didn't include one. Enjoy!
This first one I had to switch the audio due to copyright claims. It used to have The Seeker by the Who and Hound Dog by Elvis Presley, but now it has a different song pertaining to dogs. Although there is a period where there is no audio and only video, I hope you enjoy it!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BKaz2K17wk
This is a Horse Video Contest I had created. There is a video response of the contest results if you can't wait and wish to see it, or you can wait until I post the video! Enjoy!
It's good to be posting again; it's been a while since I've posted a blog entry and I just felt like it was time to stop being lazy and actually get things done!
To give you an update on how my life is right now, I'd say it's going fairly well. I've been busy with Rush, school, homework, clubs, etc. Hopefully I'll be able to start up my book club with Mary and Kelly soon; we were supposed to start it just after fall sports ended; hopefully we can start it up again. My birthday has come and gone. I got a new purse, a Kindle and an iTunes gift card! I'm happy with all of those things.
I also just recently received my grades, and I'm doing really well! I have all A's, which is a nice reassurance because I'm taking 6 classes and don't have a study hall or a free block; it shows that I'm working hard and that it's paid off!
One thing I am upset about though is that I'm behind on NaNoWriMo; I'm supposed to be at 41,667 words tonight and I'm only at 30,000! Hopefully I can at least close the gap on the word count tonight a little bit.
Interim, along with my birthday, already came and went. I went to England for Interim which was amazing! I saw Billy Elliott, which was sublime! We also saw London and Oxford (my two favorite places in the whole world), and shadowed students at a school in the Cotswells called Wycliffe. It was a fun trip, and I enjoyed it immensely.
It's finally Thanksgiving break and I'm enjoying the relaxation! I was also productive today; doing some homework, exercising and getting some priority items checked off of my To-Do List. The next item on my list is, of course, NaNoWriMo! Hopefully I can knock that out of the way; if I push myself I can get past 41,667.
Please feel free to comment on the ramblings of my daily life... I hope you enjoyed reading! More whenever possible.
~Meg/GilmoreGirl1188
It's not letting me post a YouTube video right now, so for my next post I will include two!
It's been a while since I've posted, but I feel like I was writing my last post just yesterday. It's weird to think about how time flies. Mid-term has come and gone, and already a 1/4 of the year has passed us by.
I've been thinking about how lately I feel like I let the world pass me by, and that I take things for granted, especially my friends. Honestly, without the people in my life right now, I don't know where I'd be. Surely worse off. And you know who you are.
I feel like I'm closer to many new people this year, like Alanna, Mary, Rebecca, Alex. But I feel more distanced from others, like Kelly, Emma Colman, Harin, etc. I think it's because I'm not in many classes with those three. And I feel badly that I can't spend more time with them, but school is occupying most of my time these days, and I feel like it's taking over my life! I'm at school constantly, even on the weekends sometimes.
That leads me to the next subject I want to talk about... weekends. I feel like I take weekends for granted as well. I sit around enjoying watching TV and relaxing, but then when Sunday night comes... oops! I haven't done any homework and I feel like I've wasted my weekend away. I've become such a procrastinator. I didn't used to be. I was such a self-starter and self-advocated in 7th and 8th grade. And then 9th grade comes, and I think maybe after working so hard, I slacked off. I still did well in my classes, but the weekends I spent giving my time away to TV and computer, etc. When in fact, I could be using my time productively; especially now that volleyball's over, I can crack open my reading books that I haven't had time to read for the past couple of months. I mean, look at Mary. She has a substantial workload, and she watches Glee, etc. But she still makes time to read and doesn't procrastinate on the weekends. So it's going to be a weekly goal for me to start my homework on Friday or Saturday. Hopefully it'll work!
My brother's been having problems with the divorce, still. He's been taking it out on those in his family and at some point, you wonder when he'll get over it. It was a year ago. But a year is actually fairly recent for a divorce, and I get that he's at a young age and it takes more time to process and mature. So I need to be there for him whenever I can, I guess.
Oh, I can't believe I almost forgot to mention this! My friend Mary and I have stared National Novel Writing Month, which began this past Sunday, November 1st. We're writing a 50,000 word book over the course of one month. It's to see if we can! You can follow my progress and word count statistics if you click on the link labeled "NaNoWriMo" on the left hand side under "Surf My Web". Mary is listed under one of my Writing Buddies "OfficiallyMRS", so you can track her progress if you're interested. It's not about a competition, and the winners are those who finish. I hope I can make it through to the end! Wish us luck!
Here is another one of my YouTube videos. This was a tribute video to one of my friends on YouTube, Moviestarsrecords. Enjoy!
Things haven't been great lately in my world. Stress, school, drama, life... it's all proving to be a little bit much for me. I'm thrilled that it's the weekend. But already I feel like it's half over! And I have a ton of school work to get done. I have two tests on Monday!
My friends are also stressing me out too. My friend Emily's been panicking over a boy that she likes, who has already asked someone to homecoming. She's focused on either boys, sailing, or both 24/7. And sometimes, I wish there was something else to talk about with her. And sometimes we do talk about other subjects, and that's when it's the most fun. She's an awesome person, I just wish we could have some variety in some of the topics we talk about.
Speaking of boys, they're still on my mind. But I'm trying to put most of my energy into school for now. I want to do well, and I need to do well. So there's no room for boys in my life right now. Plus, being single isn't all that bad. I mean, I'd rather have a boyfriend but whatever, right? I'm a kayak, hear me roar! (As said by Emily Gilmore)
I've decided to put some of my attention into the books I've been trying to read for a year now. I've had a books to read list for a while, but I feel like school's been taking up all of my free time. But I think I'm going to center most of my posts around books. Did you know that OfficiallyMRS (my friend Mary) got an author interview? I can't believe it! You can read it on her blog at http://www.officiallymrs.blogspot.com. It was very interesting to read, and I can't wait to read this author's book!
By the way, just to clarify, the Mary I'm talking about at the moment is not the one I normally go to Panera with, she goes to my current school. Speaking of Panera-Mary, I miss her! I haven't seen her in a while. I hope we can hang out soon!
Anyway, I thought I would post my "To Be Read" List. I thought maybe you might be interested in knowing my "novels on the way". I'm still working on Extras as part of the Uglies series at the moment, but hopefully I'll finish it soon and move on to the next book on my list. And here is my list:
Books to Read
1.Extras
2.Z for Zachariah
3.Bloody Jack
4.Elsewhere
5.Life as we Knew it
6.The Yearling
7.Alcatraz
8.Flora Thompson Series (Lark Rise to Candleford, Still Glides the Stream)
9.Anne of Green Gables
10.Veil of Snows
11.The Ultimate Gift
12.Gift from the Sea
13.The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens
14.The Hunger Games
15.Catching Fire
16.The Kite Runner
17.A Thousand Splendid Suns
18.Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac
19.Just Listen
20.Water for Elephants
It's a long list! But hopefully it will get shorter once I start to hanker down on those books... but then again having so many friends who are crazy for reading will force me to add more and more books to my list! Just kidding guys, you know who you are and I love you!
Anyway, let me know if you've read any of the books on my list and what you think about them!
I've also decided to make the titles of my posts solely Gilmore related! I thought it was a cute idea. I've been watching Gilmore Girls on the weekends whenever I have time!
As for current TV shows, I'm into Greek on ABC Family. But my newest interest is in the TV show Glee! I have decided that I really like it. I know, BB, that is hasn't come out in the UK yet, but just as a pre-cursor, I love it!
Any thoughts on my books? Gilmore related? Or really, anything under the sun? You can either comment on this post or send me an @ message on Twitter! Go to my "Surf My Web" links on the left hand side and you'll see "Follow Me on Twitter" and you should be able to see my profile.
Oh, and here's another YouTube video, one of my other contests. Enjoy!
Love always,
~Meg/GilmoreGirl1188 P.S. I've decided on a smiley (on my own may I add). But that's ok, I think I needed to do it myself anyways. Here it is:
Wow, the first two weeks have come and gone and already I feel as if I am buried in work! But then again, that's how it's supposed to feel, right? And there's pretty much nothing you can do about it. Oh well!
So, let's see... how have things been going? I've had my ups and downs. I've had bad days for the past two days. I think I'm probably just getting back into the swing of school and activities and such. But I feel as if I'm stressed all the time. And I should be getting to bed earlier but I either can't sleep or stay up too late.
I've realized also that I've become a bit of a procrastinator. And I hate it! I used to like getting stuff done early and being able to relax and not have the work hanging over your head like a rain cloud. So, I hope this year I can go back to what it was like in 7th and 8th grade, 7th especially. That was a great year for me.
Anyways, besides school, I've been thinking about some other things... yeah, you guessed it. Guys. They're always on the radar at some point and of course at times I want to have a boyfriend. And I guess I just have to let it come, let it happen. Or maybe it's the reverse? I'm really not sure. I guess I'm still trying to figure myself out, this included. Anyways, we'll see what happens this year. I'm not into anyone in particular. I'm just kind of on the lookout. And I find myself kind of reverting back to Nate all this time. And that was two years ago! Is that even normal?! I mean, I've had interest in a few guys at my school, but it's slim pickings over there.
As for family, things are going ok, I guess. So to speak. My brother hasn't been sleeping well recently, probably over not having my dad at the house all the time. I know I should feel bad for him, but sometimes I wish he would get over it. I mean, I used to have sleeping problems but I never complained about it to people, except for at night. He complains about it during the day and acts like it's no big deal. And he gets discouraged too. I hope it passes soon. Those was some of the worst nights of my life (so far).
Well, I need to get hankering on some of this reading for school so I can read my own books! Did I mention that I'm starting a book club at school? My friends and I are not going to start it until after fall sports, but I hope it takes off!
That's all for today! Feel free to follow me on Twitter, there's a link under "Surf My Web".
I'll write again soon!
Here are two YouTube videos because I forgot to include one in my last post!
-Meg/GilmoreGirl1188 P.S. I know I've asked this many times, but does anyone have any emoticon/smiley suggestions for my username? I can't use the horse anymore, so... any thoughts?
I've just been thinking about all the different websites where you can social network and create blogs and such. Technology has come so far in the past decade, even century!
Anyway, my main focus of this blog entry is to tell you about my friend Mary, who also had the fight with Emily last week and is also known as OfficiallyMRS, started a blog on Blogger all about her reading habits and also has the inside scoop (including excerpts from books that haven't been released yet!) on books that include reviews, excerpts, and also contests! I've actually entered one of her contests recently which might make me be eligible to win a book called Girl Goddess #9, which looks like an interesting read!
And while it may sound like I'm selling her blog, I really just wanted to give her an honorable mention. I admire her blog so much! It's the kind of blog I've always wished to have, with many followers, viewers and readers. She's also got me interested in Twitter, which I just recently joined. I've never known how to use it! But hopefully I will learn.
Anyway, her contest is worth entering and it's for a great prize! I can't wait to find out the winner. But enter soon because it ends September 21st. She's an avid reader and writer and you'll love reading her blog, honestly! I'm not just saying that.
Please check out her blog, and the contest! The link to the contest is http://officiallymrs.blogspot.com/2009/08/contest-win-copy-of-girl-goddess-9.html. Feel free to check it out, she loves readers! And she's also popular with young adult writers like Ally Carter, Maureen Johnson, and many others on Twitter. If you have a Twitter, you should definitely follow her.
I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while! I always tell myself I should write but I feel like I don't have time as often as I used to when I wasn't in high school. But I like keeping myself busy with activities and schoolwork because in a way I feel like it keeps me sane and from getting distracted with Facebook and other sites like that.
This weekend was different from most weekends that I have had recently because it included the presence of my friend Mary whose parents were in Wisconsin for the weekend. She wanted to go to my friend Kelly's party, and it's been fun spending time with her. It's like having a long sleepover!
This Friday was also Kelly's Sweet Sixteenth Birthday Party! It was awesome. We were able to go to downtown Chicago to her favorite restaurant, Geja's, which had the most unusual but delicious food I've ever tasted. If you're in the area I definitely recommend it. You get to cook your own food! It was expensive though, and I think it was nice of her parents to pay for it as well as letting us stay in her family condo for the night. We watched movies, and stayed up the whole night gabbing about boys, make-up, or whatever crossed our minds! I love my friends.
The only problem I had this weekend was the issue with my friends Emily and Mary (the one who was staying at my house for the weekend). Emily was mad at Mary, and quite frankly, being ridiculous about the reasons for her anger. It got ugly and at one point Mary didn't want to be friends with her anymore. I tried to be the mediator but it didn't appear to make the situation any better. But luckily, at the party, Emily apologized to Mary and was a decent friend to her. But Mary's still not sure about being friends with her, which I understand. My mom's a little fed up with her too because she was kept abreast of the situation. Whatever... I've dealt with people like her before and I'm not about to start causing drama.
Remember my friend Ashley from 8th grade? She contacted me recently and was telling me about how she felt like a horrible person for not talking to me recently. And I really appreciated that. Because I felt like I had tried to talk to her but she had given up when she found out I was going to a different school. I feel like my high school has been a better fit for me but it did feel like it jeopardized my relationships with my friends at the local public high school. I haven't talked to them in a long time. And I've tried to get together with them but my schedule often doesn't allow it. It's been hard, but then again I love my friends at my new school. They're amazing and easy to talk to and be around. And they give great advice with everything.
School starts on Tuesday. And I'm not sure that I'm completely ready for summer to be over. Every summer is always busy for me and I always feel this way... not ready for summer to be over. I miss Spain, I miss camp. It's always so hard to leave the summer behind and move on to school and activities and business and sports. And I'm going to have so much work this year because I don't have a study hall and I'm taking two sciences. If I feel like the workload is too much, I'm going to drop Chorus and take a free block so that I have time to study. My mom and I talked about it a lot last weekend when we were in the Wisconsin Dells. It was a good bonding time when we were running around the hotel getting lost!
But anyways, I guess it's time to get in that school mode. So long, summer.
Here's another one of my YouTube videos that I made on my YouTube channel, Horselvr1188. This video was the results of my Animal Contest that I posted earlier. Enjoy!
Again it feels like forever since I last posted. And it has been a few months. Freshman year has come to an end, and now I'm a sophomore! Weird to think about that. I'm excited for sophomore year! It'll bring many new challenges, but I think I'm up to them! I'm a little worried about my workload next year. I'm taking 7 classes (eek!) instead of having a study hall. But it's so I can take the sciences I want to junior and senior year. We'll see how it goes!
I just finished my Driver's Ed course! I've already started driving. I need to drive 50 hours, including 10 at night. And so far I think I have about 7 hours down, only 43 to go!
I'm also counting down the days until Spain; only 5 days! I might not have mentioned this already, but for new readers or in case you forgot, I'm going to Spain for 3 weeks with some classmates. We're staying with families, taking classes, and seeing the sights. Our families have been instructed not to speak English to us! I'm a little worried, but my Spanish will certainly improve. I remember my Spanish improving just from hearing it at Culver all the time. Speaking of which, my friend Alex and I were thinking of visiting Culver. I don't know if it's going to happen, but it might! It's been a while since I've seen Sara, Katie and Meritxell. I miss them! I miss all my camp friends, including the ones from SMA. But I'll be seeing them in August when I go back to SMA!
As for finals, I did really well on all of mine! My grades mainly stayed the same, one improved. I'm pretty proud of my report card. I hope to do the same or maybe better this year!
I've also been trying to clean out and organize my room a bit. I think it looks great now, although there's not a huge difference. But my head can relax. I think I have a bit of OCD with neatness and cleanliness. But I kind of like that about myself.
I know I haven't talked about this subject in a while, but I guess it's because there's not much to tell. But I guess it's time to talk boys. I don't like anyone in particular. I'm just enjoying my singleness. And I don't need a man to be happy. I'm perfectly happy just the way I am. And frankly, when you are taken, you can't flirt with anyone else! I don't want a boyfriend right now. I'm enjoying being young still, while I have the chance. Because it doesn't last forever, which brings me to my next topic.
I had a bit of a scare last night. I got a strange call from California last night. A strange man was on the phone, a cab driver, who had just picked up my grandmother and she had no idea where she was or where she was going. It was a little scary, and I got worried. My dad luckily was on the phone with my brother Evan and we told the cab driver that she should just be escorted back inside. My mom had a long talk with my dad about seeing if my grandmother, Nana, could come live over here close to us. It's complicated, and I personally want her to be safe, and it would be nice if she lived close to us. And I'm pretty close to Nana. Apparently, she's wanted to live with me before. She's very special to me and I care a lot about her. I just hope she's ok.
It happens to all of us, even the best of us. And we know it does. But does it have to come so quickly? People say life is short. And perhaps it is. But there's no knowing when it's going to happen. When it will strike us, and take the souls from our bodies. When we'll know what the truth is about who's up there and what's in store for us. But the worst part of it is that we leave friends and family who care about us behind. If only we could take them with us. If only we could know. But I guess then there's no mystery, no intrigue.
Ok, well enough of this talk. I think that's enough for today. I hope you enjoyed my little rant!
Here's another one of my YouTube videos. In honor of Michael Jackson.
R.I.P. Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and Billy Mays. Death sure seems to follow us around, doesn't it?
-Meg/GilmoreGirl1188 I decided on Ms. Pacman for my smiley icon, you like? Lol. I didn't get any suggestions so I decided to just pick one!
(I forgot that I had decided to use this smiley face, I thought I would bring it back. Gotta love Ms. Pacman).
