We get along(so far) and she reminds me of Raven Baxter. Our room looks like cotton candy because her stuff is all pink and mine is, of course, all blue. We are both religious-raised Catholic. We've decided to alternate churches-Catholic mass one week and Baptist service with our friend Christina the next-which makes me happy because I have pretty much left the Catholic church.
I feel outnumbered because all of the people I've met so far are from Philly and I'm the only white girl of all of my new friends. I don't have a problem with it, but they all talk about Philly all the time and they definately have a different dialect. I've had to ask Ashley several times what certain words mean lol.
Yesterday we all had to go to a sexual harrassment seminar-they gave us all popcicles on the way in. Does anyone else see the irony here? Oh, and Bethanne, they talked about the vagina monologues which reminded me of you
After the seminar, the Golden Eagles Marching Band, Dance Team, and Cheerleaders came in and started playing as a sort of pep rally. This is going to sound(look) stupid, but it was when the band started playing that I had to fight back the tears. I hadn't cried at all yet-not even when I said goodbye to my mom. I think it finally hit me because the auditorium had been dark and when the band started playing the lights came up and the walls and chairs and banners and uniforms were all blue and gold instead of red and black and I didn't know anyone around me. It hit me that I won't be seeing my friends everyday anymore and that I will probably loose touch with some of them. I know I'll make new ones, but how many 4 year friends will be as good as my 12 year friends? My friends from home are pretty great, so these new ones have a lot to live up to.
Well I have to start getting ready for Convocation. Shit, classes start TOMORROW! I'm terrified.

Oh, and Wanda, my mood thingy isn't working.

Sorry it's taken me so long, things have been crazy with work and vacation and computer problems and school preparation-the list goes on but I won't bore you with it(at least not right now). I finally made it through all but five of the journals and comments I had to check-there were over a hundred. I will finish those and start looking t all the deviations soon, but I have a class in like 18 minutes so I gotta go lol.

Hopefully I'm back for good this time.

Yes, that is my heart she is smashing. Our first draft of our ten page essay --relating James Joyce and his awful novel, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and their relationship to "true art", and the meaning of "true art", and the impact of "true art" on us personally and on society-- is due tomorrow. I don't even understand exactly what we are writing about because the essay is supposed to be split into four sections, and I'm not sure if the sections have to relate to each other or if they can be totally independent or what.

At least no matter how bad my paper is I'll still probably get a passing grade because if we fail this paper, we don't graduate and I'm pretty sure she wants to get rid of all of us...

You can probably tell I'm ranting here as an excuse to stop staring stupidly at the single paragraph I have written already and wondering what the hell to write next.

Damn................I need a muse or something.

Well, I've got to go unpack and then get some real sleep *relieved sigh*

The stuff that I can do at home rarely gets finished either because of all this other shit that I have to do--more committee meetings, and household chores, and reading AP Literature books, and babysitting, and blah blah blah, the list goes on. All this stress is giving me frequent attacks of nausia and major acne and a constant craving for chocolate. I know I should quit some stuff, but I don't want to let anybody down. Ggaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!! I really need to go destroy something to get rid of my frustration.

I'm thinking all of the criteria will be easy so I'll be saving ~$5,000-$6,000 a year. Through all four years that's ~$20,000-$24,000!! I'm sorry I'm ranting about boring numbers, but money is a big issue since I will be paying for most of my college education myself. I still have to find a way to pay for my room and board, as well as a few student expenses, but this will help a lot.

The design/art programs I have are stupid and wouldn't cooperate as far as demensions go, but I finally got something to fit. It's not what I would have chosen if I had a choice(none of my other pics were both the right size and JPEG), but it's not too bad. My next conquest will be the literature bar. I am so tired right now that the screen keeps going blurry in my vision, so I guess I should say goodnight...buenas noches.

Whoo, I'm glad I got that off my chest...my life is complete chaos right now and I'm so overwhelmed that I feel like if I don't scream or break something I'm going to explode. There's so much going on at once and I'm struggling to keep up. My dad still hasn't gotten completely rid of his salmonella and his diabetes is getting worse. My mom is having troubles with her boss. Because of this both of them are tense and they fight worse than ever if that is possible. My brother is a complete jerk to me as always. With calc. and AP lit. and bio.2 my homework takes about 3-4 hours a night, plus whatever spanish or foods homework I have. I also have to finish an overdue project for my drawing/painting class as well as read my reading team books. plus I'm in like 10 clubs/organizations, some of which require shitloads of community service-I still have about 12 hours to go.Soon the play will start and that'll take over my life, but at least it will be fun(hopefully it will be so fun that it overrides the extra stress it will bring). During my aerobics class is pretty much the only time I feel relaxed-2 nights per week where I don't feel like a bomb poised to detonate. I know that other people are much worse off than me and I should't complain, but that doesn't change how I feel.

My dad is yelling at me at this very moment so I guess I'm done ranting for now...

Who knows, maybe it'll be ok and I'll start losing some weight. I doubt it, but it doesn't hurt to dream.

Today I bombed my Trig. final, goet home and immediately left for work. While at work I sat around in a giant racoon costum because, glory of glories, I'm short so it fits. It was rainy and cold, therefore, there were no people at the park, making my mascotting duties a larger waste of time than usual. Then, I finally got to leave and go to my cousin's birthday party where I played volleyball with the trig teacher whose test I failed. Life's funny like that I guess.

I guess that's all for now...I'm too tired to think of anything else right now. Chow.

On other topics...

I have been trying for the last 25 minutes to submit some poems, but the "Add Text" thing is being stupid and not letting me type in the box. Grrrrr...

Today I had to dispose of a dead mouse and I got peed on by a turtle. Fun fun fun.

Also, today is my brother's birthday party so I must now get off the computer and go clean the house. Ta ta...

When will I get a break? Last night I got home from school, ate a quick dinner, and changed into my pajamas, then I forced myself to suffer through the boring parts of East of Eden so that I would finish the 200+ pages that I had to read for the test on it first period thismorning. I did not leave my bed from 3:45 till midnight, when I got up to brush my teeth and stuff. Over that length of time my dad repeatedly came in and yelled at me to go to sleep. For some reason he thinks that he cannot go to bed untill everone else has, and so when he gets tired I am forced to go to bed. Needless to say, I was to close to the end to go to bed so I stayed up reading. Finally my dad decided "no more mister nice guy" and came into my room, shut off my light, and threatened to ground me if I didn't go to bed. I had seven pages left-so close and yet so far...Because I was reading EoE, I didn't have time to study for my physics test or my trig test, both of which were also today, or do my homework for those classes. More and more stress flowing in to drown me. When I got home I quickly changed into my work uniform and tried to find socks that wouldn't look stupid with my capris. My mom was late getting home which in turn made me late because I drive her car. I arrived at work with only five minutes to walk a three minute walk to my station. Sounds manageable right? Of course it wasn't. Today being my first official day, I had to go to customer service and get a name tag. I waited in a line of other employees getting tags for twenty-five minutes. My general manager left a mesage on my phone saying that I needed to have a discusion with her and tell her why I wasn't at my station on time, and even though I was at work, I will not be paid for the half hour I was at customer service...Closing was an hour later than it was supposed to be, so now I am not able to go see POTC3 tonight. I have to work all weekened so I will not be able to see it any other night either. My family is going without me and I am the only one who understands the storylines and knows the myths and legends that come into play throughout the movie. Basically, I am the interpreter and they probably won't understand what is going on if I'm not there to tell them...To add the cherry on the cake, my computer is being a bitch so I am going to have to end this rant now before it freezes on me. Isn't that just loverly?

My dad and I don't get along and are constantly fighting, so this was a wonderful respite from our usual verbal battles. If only it could last...

Well, I have a ton of AP homework to do so, Adios!

On another depressing note, I just found out that my favorite teacher's husband died and I feel really bad for her and her daughter.

Anyway, since school was canceled I had enough time on my hands to start writing in my journal. It's about time too.

Oh yeah, I finally got a sewing machine today, so hopefully I can start making myself clothes. Yey!
