Dear Diary,

Today is Sunday, August 30th, 2009.

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!



'Til next time... which I promise will be soon!
