Hot Showers = Greatest invention ever!

Another week down and another week closer to finals. Time to start studying like a maniac along with managing the crazy homework teachers still give us.

Had to take off on Monday since I was still sick and just spent the day watching anime. Next day: Too much work! Well at least I got sick before finals and academic focus week. Bunch of easy work in all my classes.... Well I do have a research paper to do in English which the rough draft is due Monday and I luckily got a head start on it. And I need to memorize a script I made for a speaking final in Spanish and I have to perform a tap dance with a group of people and all other crazy stuff.

Friday was my best day out of every other day this week. I performed my choreography final in Dance first since my mom had to go somewhere today and I did amazing. I danced to a piano version of an opening to one of my favorite animes: Air TV. A lot of people thought I was beautiful and I even almost made people cry, including my teacher. I was so nervous having to be the first one to perform. But I went at it and I did amazing!

Adding on to that, the formal was also last night! I went with my sister and her boyfriend and met up with friends at the dance. The red dress I'm wearing was in fact my mom's dress that SHE wore in high school. Same size and everything! I was so happy I got to wear it. We even have her prom dress but I don't think that'll fit either me or Marina any time soon. My mother was a tiny woman when she was in high school. Anyway, had a lot of fun with my friends dancing and acting like morons (in a good way). And I wish they made formal shoes for these dances that don't kill your feet. Flats hurt so much. Well anyway it was a great night. Other than Adele playing twice in a row. It's not that she can't sing it's just her music is on ALL THE TIME. Nothing like coming home tired of having a good time.

Lemme see... Going to a friend's birthday party today and trying to finish homework... Yep that's gonna be my weekend. And then it's Hell Week AKA Academic Focus week where we spend the time preparing for finals. Ugh... I just wanna be in Costa Rica already...

XOXO,

Eliza's Day Off

Yep. I'm too sick to go to school today so I'm staying home and resting up.

God I hate being sick. I only get sick at least once or twice a year but when I do, I hate it.

My throat's all scratchy and my nose is stuffed up which temporarily destroys my sense of smell. Ugh... Hate it so much!

I swear I woke up today thinking it was Sunday, and I didn't have to go to school today. And I had a super weird dream.... Rice with gummy bears that cause chaos in the world.... Was there something in that bruschetta I ate last night?? Whatever, I have weird dreams anyway.

So I'm spending my time at home filling up on liquids and catching up on anime.

Hope I get better much much sooner than later...

XOXO,

Liz

Go Colts!

I'm watching the Jets and Colts Wildcard game on NBC. Really hope they go to the Superbowl again this year.

This week has been a bit iffy. Kinda okay cause I was back in school and hung out with my friends. Kinda sucky cause, of course, stupid cold and flu season. Every other person I know is sick, on the verge of being sick, healthy, or just gotten over a cold. As of now I'm starting to get over being sick. My throat's never felt any better. So glad I'm feeling better.

Just a normal school week other than being sick. P.E's been really boring me lately. I'd rather run half-miles than be in the weight room. I don't really do anything in that room. Just walk around in circles playing songs in my head. Sooner it's over the better. Been getting lots of easy homework in my other classes and we're starting on a project in Studio Art. So everything's going good.

On Wednesday in my Advisory, some boys sitting behind me were throwing stuff at me. Pen caps, gum wrappers, that kinda stuff. Wasn't really a big deal or anything but I did get a bit annoyed so I told the teacher and he moved them. My opinion on this: Those boys TOTALLY have crushes on me. Why are boys at age fourteen so immature? I dunno. This is probably why I don't date them and I have few guy friends. Hahaha.

So I don't think much happening this weekend. Just watching Colts try to win their Wildcard game. Go Colts!

XOXO,

I really wish I didn't have to be back in school

Title will explain itself.

So I went up flying with my step dad yesterday. He's working to get his pilot's license so we can get our own private plane to go to places like Catalina Island. Took some good pics from up in the air. I was really tired and I tried to fall asleep. And when we landed I got a MASSIVE toothache. Was no fun AT ALL. Stupid sinuses...





Finally after two weeks of vacation, me and Marina are back in school. I'm soooo messed up in my brain. I'm about close to falling asleep in my classes and I still have a headache and still on the verge of getting my mom's cold. I love you Mom but I hate the cold. I really hope I feel better tomorrow and I get to be able to go to school.

So today was me and my sister's dentist appointment. Just another six month check up and cleaning no biggie. I did find out that one of my molars is growing a lot slowly than it should be and it's causing some pain so there is a possibility for braces! Happy, happy, joy, joy. I really hope I don't get braces. It's either that or I get a tooth pulled out. I really really hoped my toothache was from a wisdom tooth growing in super early...Oh well. Won't know what I'll need until I see a specialist.

(Insert Zombie Sounds Here)

New Year's Eve was good. Went to a friend's house for a party. Marina drove us there actually. She got her permit the other day so she wanted to drive us there. She's a pretty awesome driver I should point out. She says that she could get her license before May's out. So anyway. Back to New Year's Eve...



Marina threw her back out in a game where you have to get bells out of a tissue box tied around your back with a belt. She tried to do a back bend and it didn't go well. She's okay now and doing better than in that moment. Hahaha.


Our friends had a pool table and they set up a tournament. I, of course, was a part of this tournament and I had no idea how to play nine ball. I learned along the way and found pool to be very fun. Me and my teammate lost our game and didn't go any farther. But it was fun to play anyway.

Confetti exploded and people drank sparkling juice once the clock struck midnight for the new year. Funny how it's 2011 and most of us think we'd have more technology than we do now. So many movies set in the future with flying cars, hovering skateboards, all of that and we're stuck here in the year 2011 and we have NONE of that. We are trying with energy efficient cars and little stuff that really we could SO do without. Oh well. As long as the world isn't coming to the end as we know it I'm just okay with the world as it is.

Okay so I went to bed at around 30 minutes past midnight and I woke up this morning cause my mom came in and I fell back asleep. Woke up again and looked at my clock and went, "Holy shiz! It's already noon?!" Not literally but that's what I was thinking.

So now I'm starting to catch my mom's cold that she's had for the past few days. Just great. Just when I'm gonna be going back to school on Monday I gotta catch a cold. As of now I have a headache which I took some Excedrin for and my body feels tingly and I had a coughing fit earlier which I had to take some Delsym for. Not the most pleasant form of medicine. Always hate medicine with taste. Blah.

So my day has been spent at home watching the Three Stooges on AMC. As of now I'm watching Juno. Love this movie so much. Ellen Page is just awesome. I actually was watching an episode of 20/20 the other day with my sister about teenage pregnancy and there was this one girl who was going to have triplets but one died in the womb and the other two were born seven weeks premature. Twelve days later one baby died and nine weeks later the other baby died. I know, really depressing. Her entire senior year wasted only to have her children die. She's lucky that she was able to graduate.

So that's all over and done with. I'm gonna go back to watching Juno and talking to friends. Everyone have a wonderful time!

XOXO,

Almost Friday

The school week is almost over finally. This week's been a little crazy. I stayed home from school on Monday because I felt really horrible. Sore throat, phlegm, sinus headache, the works. I'll tell you, being sick while you're in high school and having to make up work is no fun at all. Elementary and middle school is a piece of cake, but high school is a lot more work. Anyway, I still have a bit of a sore throat and a sinus headache but I think a Nyquil to knock me out and a good night's sleep will make me better.

Today was interesting..if three fights at school counts as interesting. Not full on any details but there was a girl fight and two boy fights. It apparently got a bit aggressive with one of the boy fights hearing that someone got bloody. I didn't actually see any of the fights but I'm glad I didn't cause I don't know what happens when you turn thirteen. You get all these hormones and things go crazy. Oh well, that kind of stuff was somewhat normal for me with me being from a "ghetto" school.

Tomorrow is Friday, which means me and my sister are having our friends Jamie and Akane over for some party silliness. Good night!

XOXO,
Liz
