Feeling better. Thanks for the prayer. <3
I just have a bit of sniffles now. And I sound like a toad.

Keep praying for my midterms. I stress out way to much for tests. I just want to do well and no matter how many hours I study, I never feel prepared enough.  I guess we'll just have to see...

Blech.

You know I'm not one to complain about pain much...but if you think about it, be praying I feel better. Because I feel like poop.


I feel lame for whining about it, but midterms are next week and whatever's up with me is really not helping my studying.  Actually, mainly just pray for that. That's what matters.  I don't really care that I'm sick, it's just getting in the way of preparing for midterms and I'm starting to feel a little stressed.


I thought I just had a bit of a cold, but I woke up this morning feeling worse.  Stuff is in my chest, I'm a little nauseous, and I feel like I'm going to pass out every time I stand up.  Luckily, since I'm studying..I'm not doing a lot of standing up.  But still.


I'm bummed that I have to miss dance tonight because of it..but I'm sort of thankful, too.

Now I have some more time to study.

Just be praying.  You're the best. <3

Duet like a boss.

Laura and I (with the ingenious instruction of the fantastic Celeste, of course) started choreographing our duet after our ballet class tonight.  I'm really excited to see how it'll turn out; so excited that I'm kind of bummed we can only take it to competition.  I'd love to have it in our recital as well, but they don't typically do solos/duets/trios/etc.  The only pieces we take to competition that are also in the recital are large group numbers.

(Sighs)

Oh well, I'm still pumped for it.  This is the song we're dancing to.

[Minus the creepy talking kid part.]

I love this band. I love this song. And I love to dance.

I'm really stoked for this piece.

Sleepy girl.

Just got home from class.  First thing I did was put sweats on.  Now I need tea.  But before I curl up and bust out the book, I should probably finish homework. I like to knock out the essential stuff before I chill. Really though, I just want to sleep.  I dunno if it's the weather, my cold, a lack of sleep or a combination of all three..but I was practically falling asleep in Spanish class this afternoon.  Not fun.  I got my grade back for that one, too: 99! (:

Sidenote: While I was at Becca's eating leftover meatballs and cake from April's wedding, she decided to give me one of her canvases so that I can start painting again.  It has a painting on it already but she doesn't like it.  So I'm going to sand it down, put a white base coat on it, and paint something.  I think the under layer of paint will give it a cool texture.  Hopefully I can start on it soon.  But I'll probably have to wait till Christmastime so that I have time.  I have too many projects I'm already working on.  I'm just so excited to paintttt.

So hungry.

It's cold and rainy outside.  I really like this kind of weather. It makes me want to curl up in some sweats with a book and some tea.

Hopefully I'll get to when I get home from school.  I'm really looking forward to it.

Oh! I just got my grade back from my math test. Super happy. I got a 94. It almost makes my 88 in my gov't test okay.  Not really though.  I don't take B's well at all.  I almost didn't even want to share that grade..but that's not very honest.  And in keeping you updated, I have to be honest.  Even with the lame stuff.  Just don't think I'm dumb.  I studied really hard.  To be honest, I'm a bit frustrated with that test.  There was a typo on the test that I accidentally overlooked which would have given me an A.  My teacher apparently also likes trick questions.  I overlooked that as well. 

(grumbles)

I really shouldn't be stressing about it, since I still have an A in the class altogether...but still.  It's just one of those things that really irks me.  I saw my grade and wanted to to punch something.  I guess it just makes me feel like I could have tried harder, even when I know I tried my hardest.  It's dumb, I know.  But I'm weird.  I'll do better next time.  I don't plan on getting anything lower.  And since she drops the lowest grade, I'll be set.

Anyway, Emily Slaughter and Rebecca Woodrum just walked into the library and saved my life.  I had planned on intoducing a girl from my Spanish class to Thai food so I obviously didn't pack lunch, but then I realized I forgot my wallet.  PANIC. So up until now, I thought I was going to starve.  I know, slightly dramatic..but I was really super hungry..since I didn't have a super big breakfast.  But Becca's getting me lunch.

Lifesaverrrr.

Doodlin'.

Got a little distracted at the end of the week, so I grabbed some flashcards off my desk and started doodling.  I ended up with these and I'm thinking about putting them on a larger canvas. The one on the left, at least.  I think it'd make a pretty cool painting.  I could add it to my new room. I'm not sure I've mentioned that yet, though.

So, I've been taking an interior design course (long story as to why I ended up taking it, but it's ended up being pretty enjoyable) and my final project is to design a room.  Since I'll be graduating in the spring and will be staying here for college, I'll be needing a place to stay.  I may end up renting a place with some friends in the future, but until I'm financially stable, I'll have to stay at home.  So I plan on moving out into my garage.  We've been working a ton on it over the summer, clearing stuff out and painting and whatnot.  But now it's time to turn it into my own place.  I'm hopeful to have it done and be living in it by December.  But we'll see. (:

PS, today was a great day.  Thanks for that.  Alligator food.

Do not fear.

Are you not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. Even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
