So, I'm in the hospital again. Good job, me.
Thankfully it's nowhere near as long as it was when I was here back in April for 3 weeks. If all goes according to plan, I should be out of here by Tuesday or Wednesday.
And that way I'll still be able to be in the play.
Worst. Timing. Ever.
Today, due to my being hospitalized, I'm missing our big 10 of 12 rehearsal for Brave New World. Which I am terribly mad about. This is, like, the rehearsal, and if you miss it then you're off the show. Thankfully, I'm exempt from that. But either way, I feel notsome about it.
But it's not all bad, I guess. Better to get this out of the way now so I can get better and be able to perform well then to put it off and be the most pathetic sickly looking Dr. Shaw in the history of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World as dramatized by David Rogers.
And, after the 10 if 12 is over for the day, my boyfriend (he's the warden in the show) is going to come up and visit me, and he's bringing Wallace and Gromit and the Curse of the Wererabbit, and it makes me giddier than all of us assembled together at a Nerdfighter event with the Green brothers.
Since I've been here I've come to appreciate irony a bit. For instance, I'm a doctor in the play, and here I am all sick and whatnot.
Also, hospitals are the worst place to get any good solid sleep in. Weird, huh?
Okay, so, there were questions.
I'm not much of a studier, at all. If I feel like I'm not really grasping the concept of a particular thing on which I'm being tested, then I'll go back and review it and try to make sense of it, but otherwise if I feel I have a good stance on it then I forgo studying all together. I'm a bad example. But I test pretty well.
And for choosing classes, I look for both classes I enjoy and that will be of use to me at the same time. And classes that I need for graduation, and prerequisite for classes I want to take in the future. Leaving freshman year and picking classes for sophomore year, I made the mistake of choosing 3 electives and accidentally leaving out one core class, but my guidance counselor made the mistake of not pointing it out to me. So I pay for it this year by being in a Chemistry class with a bunch of underclassmen. Eh well.
Additionally I'm starting to tweak about college. Two more years. Oh Jesus.
Okay well I'll end this here. Hope everyone's has a good week to come.

"It's a race! It's a race! I hope I win!"
From the amazing film Rat Race.
So this week had been absoutely exhausting for me. It's basically been test week since reports are due out next week (eek). Yesterday was the worst, (a whole day of tests - Physics, Maths, ICT and Geography). I hope I didn't do too badly, but it will be a while until I get my results back. I know I did well in French (73%, which is good. For me in French) and ICT (91% with the pass mark of 75%). The ICT was some qualification thing, and I was so happy I passed.
There was this one question on it where it said "Enter the word "fair" on the left of "testing"". Hey guess what, I entered it on the RIGHT, because I'm an idiot. And you can't change your answer either, so when I realised I had done it wrong, I immediately mouthed (you can't speak in tests) "CRAP." Ah, well. There's 3% out of the window.
That's the sort of stupid things I do in tests. Other things like that are I cross out the right answer. I don't know, it's my natural stupidity.
Also, I never revise for tests because laziness overpowers me. It's a bad habit, so my question to you is what motivates you to revise, if you do.
Enough with the tests. We had netball today (lacrosse season is over :(). Managed to score three goals, yay. I never knew I could hold a ball without dropping it, let alone throw it in some strings tied together!
Oh, and the fingerprint system is annoying me. The little box thing where you put your finger on hates me.
It's my friend's birthday tomorrow. She's going to TGI Friday. Yaaay. (That wasn't sarcastic or anything, I just elongated the yay).
Also, I almost forgot to post today. But I remembered!
Oh, and one small thing, I'd like your advice on (you don't have to give it, but like the revision question, it'd be nice if you answered): When you picked/have to pick subjects to take, how do you pick? Do you pick the ones you're good at or the ones you enjoy? Like when you pick subjects for public exams.
Urgh, I feel bad that my posts are always so boring, haha. I might do an almost-purely-picture blog next week.
Hope you have a good weekend and week :)

Its my turn to be sick.
Yeah...I'm sick. Just a cold, its that time of year. I hate it.
Mostly because I simply do not have TIME to be sick. Eclipsed opens on Tuesday. I can't afford to miss class, and I'm already not writing my journal for my lit class today. I've got to work all day on Saturday. I've just got too much going on to be sick right now.
But in other news:
Yay! Man, I had SO much fun. The reason I'm on the phone is because I was calling my friend Aaren because she couldn't come with us, and we just had bad picture timing. Haha. But then Hank and John both talked to her on the phone, and she almost had a heart attack. It was hilarious.
Well, I'm going to have to write more on this later, because I'm exhausted [even though I've already slept for 12 hours, damn sickness] and I'm going back to bed until the boy brings me lunch. :) I hope you all are doing better than I am, and have a fabulous weekend!

pressed for time
Even without a job I am amazed with how little time I have. I'm way frustrated right now though. I'm in this Advanced Repertory Theater group and we wear jumpsuits and it's tradition to decorate, buuuut I haven't washed mine because I passed out at eight yesterday after call backs and auditions for more plays [more about that below] and so now I have to wash and decorate that damn thing before tomorrow morning. AND I have A.R.T. rehearsal from seven to nine. That is the most inconvenient time they could've chosen. But. Whatever. I guess it's necessary. We open tomorrow. If I wasn't annoyed I would be excited.
Besides that? I made Beauty and the Beast! No idea what I'm doing yet. I'm just chorus... but I don't know if that makes me dancing silverwear... or what? But I'll tell you what, being dancing silverwear is way better than rolling silverwear at Outback.
Which I'm on a 'leave of absence' for. I just found out today though that I won't be able to work until January 27th... so I think I'm officially quitting. I can't decide whether to call in and face the wrath of Karie and/or Jeremy or just never pick up and never show up... which would be inconvienent seeing as they have my tips for Monday...
Neatless to say, I'm never going back there again. Ugh.
I think after this weekend my mood will pick up marvously. I have the A.R.T. show tomorrow, friday, and saturday, but then that's done and all I have to really worry about it Beauty rehearsal.
Oh and November 17th... I get to see John/ Hank Green! I am remendously excited! :] I found out that there are a suprising about of nerdfighters at North. I had no idea. One of them I was even an aquaintance with. I brought it up to him and he was like "I love them!" so it's pretty cool connecting to people I didn't think I had much in common with.
And then there's some Twilight party November 15th at borders. I don't know much about it. My friend does though, and she's taking me. So that should be fun as well. And then of course the movie itself. I think the midnight show is all sold out here... but there's always the next day or something like that. I'm pretty excited. I love the paramore music video for it. If you haven't seen it, look it up. [it's not on youtube. it is on paramore's website though] And if you want to download it
http://66.7.195.213/~everglow/videos/displayimage.php?album=search&cat=0&pos=0
that's the place to do it.
I literally just found that link because I have nothing better to do while waiting to flip laundry.
Well... there's really not much else to talk about. My life has been drama drama drama... as in theater. Not rumours. Thank God.
Oh! I did find a new band to love too. They're called the Cab. Beautiful. Here's a video if you're looking for new and good music.
Well! Enjoy the rest of your week girlies!

"Those are Grandma's Cookies"
and Grandma would never hurt you.
Yes! I finished Paper Towns last night! Oh my goodness, it was so fantastic. It just added to the week of awesomeness, which is great since I had a weekend of not-so-awesomeness this past one.
This week is awesome because...
1. My mom is letting me at least talk to Sean now. Like, she brought it up and she's fine with it. Yay!
2. The Fall Out Boy Secret Shows [namely the one here that was tonight] got postponed for Pete and Ashlee's baby. I never thought i'd be so happy a Simpson would reproduce! haha. But I wasn't going to be able to go on the fact that I'm grounded, but now I may!
3. The midnight showing of Twilight next week...My parents might actually let me go. OH MY GOD.
4. I kind of was having this thing where I was worried that my friends didn't care about me, but they do! I know that sounds stupid, but I really was having an AWFUL weekend and I questioned a lot of things.
5. My boyfriend is going into the studio today and tomorrow to record with his new project. I'll post the myspace link once he gets the songs back. It's like acousticy-pop. Super cute. :D Believe me, I'll be posting it everywhere. haha.
But yeah girls, this week is awesome. And it's all thanks to my friend Andrew who gave me this super sweet pep talk the other night which motivated me to finish Paper Towns [I hadn't finished because last week I had 4 projects due!] and that just started a whole chain of great events. =] Yay for the power of John Green and the Nerdfighters.
Weddings:The last wedding I went to was my grandparents' re-marriage [like they got married to each other again, super cute] and that was 9 years ago. Haha. And before that it was my mom and my step dad's wedding which was 11 years ago, so I haven't been to any really. I know Tyler goes to a million, though. And that is why I am planning my wedding to be A LOT less tacky. With like, GOOD food [Chinese actually :D] and what-not. Yeah.
Holiday:Christmas for obvious reasons, and for this year, Christmas Eve is the last day I'm grounded so WOOOO.
Okay girls, well I've got to get going to school. I hope everyone has similarly awesome weeks because we deserve it. :D
/cheese

coconut curry vegetables
So today is my 17th birthday. I'm really excited to be 17...but I'm gonna be doing a lot of stuff today [hopefully] so I just thought I'd post a bit now and then finish it later, just wanted to let everyone know I didn't forget it just might be around like 7ish central US time.
Just for fun:
Things you can do in Missouri once you turn 17...
1. See R rated movies [eh...haha..uhm...err]
2. Have sex. [yay?]
3. Be out whenever you want [except that you can't drive whenever you want until you're 18]
4. Quit school [without parental consent]
5. Move out of your parents' house.
6. Be tried as an adult in court. [yay again?]
7. Work at pet stores. [whhaa?]
Basically I'm an "adult" in Missouri, but there are still a bunch of age restrictions. So basically since I work at a movie theater and already see R rated movies and I don't really have a set curfew as long as my parents know where I am and when I'll be home and I don't really wanna do anything else on that list....this birthday is kind of lame. But 17 sounds so much better than 16 right?
And next year is 18! That's a big one! :DDD yay.
Ps... if you come up with anything else I'm legal to do, lemme know!
________________________________________________________________
This week was insanely hectic, with two three page papers, lots of work, other lengthy homework, and three tests in one day. But thankfully it is over and overall it appears that I had much sucess. My lit teacher loved my wedding paper, and I managed A's on at least two of my tests.
We also had a half day on Friday so people could attend the state volleyball games...but I had to work and they were like...four hours away so I opted not to go.
Quick Summary of the Weekend:
Friday
-half day
-sick
-nap
-work
-sleep
Saturday
-work
-crazy busy
-went out to eat with some friends
-got ice cream
-loitered at my workplace
-saw a movie
-talked with work friends a bit
-recieved lots of late night birthday texts
Sunday
-slept in
-went to see an action/abstraction exhibit at the art museum
-ate delicious indian food
-watched fight club
-did my algebra homework
Soo basically my birthday was pretty good. My friend Kelly and I are now owners of a fake pack of cigarettes so we can go on fake cigarette breaks at work. :DDD I am really excited that Obama won the presidency, and I'm glad people [at least people at my school/work] have stopped being so angry about it. I was actually a little surprised that he won by such a landslide...I think in my state it was almost 50/50.
Nonetheless I cannnot wait to see what he's going to do in office...it feels like something huge should be happening but I realize it's probably going to be a slow change...ugh.
Oh! I met and hugged and got books signed by John and Hank Green.
It was seriously one of the best days of my life.
I drove there with my hilarious/awkward friends Kelly and Myles. It was one of those drives where you're laughing so much you don't need music...
Then we got a decent seat in the middle and I almost had a fangirl moment when they walked in. I got a box of peeps thrown right to me from Hank. It was just kind of great because even though Myles and Kelly aren't exactly "nerdfighters" they still seemed to enjoy it and they were nice enough to wait for me in the huuuuge line to get my books signed. I have yet to upload the pictures but I'll put them up to my facebook later.
Alright well I need to get ready for school [technically I'm cheating and posting this Monday morning...] but I hope everyone's week is swell. <3
Today is awesome because Monday and this weekend were awesome.
I feel...great. :DDD
and sooo mature.
yay 17
