I have been too lazy to write anything for the past few days.....this week is going by way too fast....

How was everyone's holiday celebrations? Mine way pretty good...I got some nice presents.....though I need to go exchange a few because for some reason I got a lot of stuff that I already had....don't ask me why.....

I'm really happy over the DVD/VCR combo that I got....now I finally got a remote for my little T.V....I wasn't too fond of having to get up to change the channels.....

I also got a new portable CD player to replace the one that got broken when I accidently dropped it down the stairs after tripping over my dog.....some clothes.....DVDs......some other odds and ends.....etc

Bye for now.....

I haven't written for a few days....been really busy with "hoilday" stuff....

Anyway...the concert went all right....we didn't do too badly....

I just wanted to leave a note wishing everyone a Happy Holiday!!!!

Listening to: ...

Aww...I love getting comments, that last one makes.......two...

In about an hour I have to get ready for the concert.........luckily we're on second so I shouldn't have to wait around forever.....another bad rehearsal...we never got to our last song...so I'm not sure how it's going to sound...but...as someone was nice enough to say....bad rehearsals make for good performances....

Anyway....I feel as if a great burden has been lifted off of my shoulders.....I handed in the last of my stuff to my counselor....though I could have done without the exasperated look she gave me when I came in with more stuff for her to fill out....and I mailed the rest of my applications.....oh, joy....I still need to remember to send my SAT scores to one of the colleges, I'll do that tomorrow...

DONE!!

Mood: ....
Listening to: silence

I don't know...but I have never been so happy that its a Monday is such a long time!! Probably because its that last one before Christmas break....

We finally got the tree decorated...mostly, there's still a few things that need to be put on...plus, we still need to make the rest of the house look a little more festive...

I have to bring my dog (and my cat) to the vet today (again)...dog needs to have new bandages put on (see previous entry) and my cat needs so follow-up testing and bloodwork done (see a few entries back, maybe the fifth (?))...I hope there won't be any bad news from those tests....i'm hoping.........

Some good news....I'm shooting for tomorrow to bring in my college applications to my guidance counselor (she needs to fill out some things on a few of them), I just need to get the fees from my dad...he promised to give them to me today.....so he better come through

I just want it to be over with and completely out of my mind for Christmas...that would be really great...

Tomorrow is also my winter concert for band....I can see myself messing up on my superb tamborine "solo".....ha.....ha......

I don't know how well we're going to do....we barely got through two out of the four pieces today when we were practicing on the stage.....oh,well....I just want to GET IT OVER WITH!!!

Listening to: Not Now-blink-182

Put up Christmas tree decorations today...only it wasn't for our tree, we went over to my grandma's to help her....plus some of my aunts were there and I got a free (I hope it was free) haircut...that was nice....

Took my dog to the vet today...her whole leg is now all bandaged up because of some kind of sore the sort of appeared and never healed....she'll have to go back on Monday to have new bandages put on....but, it should go away soon...

That is all...

Mood: ...
Listening to: ...

Well...school was cancelled today....and yet, there is no snow to be seen....it rained all night.....

True, in the early morning the roads were slippery and at first there was just a delay...but, in the end school was cancelled, by 9 AM it stopped raining and by 1 PM the sun came out....what a complete waste...now we only have three snow days left and another three months of winter!!!

*later today.....about 9:15 PM

Well....today was very boring, I mostly spent my time waiting for the vet to call me back....

Nothing really too major...it's just that my dog has had this "sore" on her leg for about a month...for a while it looked like it was healing, but she kept licking it and pretty much made it worst...now its oozing some really gross stuff, so I called the vet and ended up having to leave my name and number for him to call me back....tomorrow we're taking her to have it checked out...I hope it'll finally heal now....

This weekend is going to be busy, what with us finally getting our tree up about an hour ago, we'll be decorating it tomorrow (hopefully), I live with a family of procrastinators!! I'll admit that I'm can be like that sometimes....but there is so much that could have been done 2 weeks ago, and now it's all going to be crammed into the next week....

A List:need to send in my order form for my graduation cap/gown that we actually had for the last 2 weeks and now that it's due on Mon., we'll finally get around to it....outside decorations (my dad is proclaiming that we're not doing anything, but I think that my mom will kill him if we don't),decorate that tree (basically get all of the Christmas decorations up), I need to get the money to send in my college applications....finish up shopping, wrap gifts....I don't know why I'm writing this all down, but I guess that I need to get it all out before I explode and cause a screaming match for the next nine days....

There seems to be some real tension between everyone this year...I've been noticing it more and more.....mostly between my parents....maybe I'm just being naive, but I hope that this holiday will sort of bring everyone closer again.....

Aww...I almost sound like one of those "feel-good" Christmas shows........I don't know....

Well...yesterday started off ok...until I had a huge blow-out with my parents over my college applications.....here I have spent over a month writing my admissions essays...typing them all up, getting recomendations from my teachers, etc..when all of a sudden I'm told that I'm pretty much going to crappy community college....

Its not that I have anything against the college itself...it's just that....well, they pretty much let anybody in....and I worked my ass off so that I could go to a good college....well, they got all bent out of shape over the application fee...it was forty dollars per application, and I have three that I want to send in....all of them are good, local colleges....and now I'm probably going to miss the deadline for when they're supposed to be in by because I don't have the money for them to accept the application....

I have enough for two...but that still isn't helping too much....hopefully everything will work out....

There's a small chance that there will be a snow day tomorrow, an ugly mix of snow and ice is expected...I would prefer a two-hour delay so that all of the snow days aren't used up....we only have four left after last week's cancellation!!

Crossing my fingers.....

Mood: in pain....
Listening to: .....

I've already typed this once....but for some reason it never went through...so I'll try and remember what I wrote....

The oddest thing occured today...I was walking upstairs to one of my classes and all of a sudden I find myself sprawled out on the stairs.... yes, it's true...I fell UP the stairs....

I was a little bit embarassed...I mean, who wouldn't be? But the one thing that really pissed me off was that no one asked if I was ok....there were about three or four other people in the stairwell...I didn't really expect anyone to offer to help me up or anything, but they could have at least made sure that I hadn't injured myself in any way....I don't know what this world is coming to...

Anyway, I jumped right up and limped to my class....I smashed my knee pretty bad and it was killing me...now it's just a dull pain everytime I bend it a little, but I think I'll be ok...

I had such a good record of avoiding making a fool of myself. which is pretty hard to do in high school...oh,well....I guess I'm not a graceful as I thought I was....

I have officially finished typing all of my college essays....tomorrow I have to get my parents to write some checks for the admission entry fee (how stupid is that? It's probably going to $120....I don't think they'll be happy about that...)and I plan on going to my guidance counselor on Thursday to give her the stuff to mail everything....I'm so close....

Sorry I haven't written for a while....I kind of zoned out this weekend...

Friday we did end up having a snow day...:)....it snowed about 10 inches..maybe a little bit more....I pretty much didn't leave the house until yesterday when we got our tree...that's what I like about winter...staying inside....coziness...etc....that's weird...

Anyway...school was boring today....now I need to go and type up my second college essay...1 more to go....

Mood: .....
Listening to: nothing

I'm am still wiped out from yesterday...walking around NYC in freezing temperatures for about 6 hours can do that to you....

All in all the trip wasn't so bad, I had fun even though it was cold and I had to hear one of my friends complain the whole day because all he had on was a thin sweatshirt...didn't buy too much, just a CD from Best Buy (Rise Against:Siren Songs of the Counter Culture) and an ornament for our tree this year. Everything there is really expensive and not really my taste...all those clothing stores seem like such a waste....

Anyway...we all met up at the Christmas tree and took a group picture...that took a while because people can be really impatient...they kept trying to push through the crowd of us, so we had to do a lot of retakes...I know I won't be seen, too many tall people...at least I'll know that I'm behind them...

Then we ended up waiting for almost an hour, outside, for the buses to find us...that wasn't too much fun....by then it was dark, and VERY cold, and there we were huddled on the sidewalk....the buses finally came and we didn't get home until 9pm, about an hour later than we were supposed to...

Tomorrow it might snow up to 7+ inches...there may be no school, on the one hand I would love to be able to sleep late, but I also don't want to waste a snow day before winter even starts!!! I don't know what's going to happen...

Mood: ....
Listening to: .....

Wow...what an obvious title....I've run out of creative thoughts...

Tomorrow should be interesting...class trip to NYC...not one of my first choices, but I'm not going to complain, I'll get to hang out with my friends, so that shouldn't be so bad....anyway, there's a lot of kids who aren't going on the trip who won't be showing up for school anyway, because there aren't going to be too many seniors there...the problem was that they didn't order enough buses...so there are many who didn't sign up in time and were put on a waiting list or something, which didn''t do them too much good....

I hope I have fun...nothing else going on...

Mood: .....tired...
Listening to: System of a Down

I just finished up a pretty long entry....when it disappeared!! Well, let me try and remember what I wrote...

Oh yes....not too much was going on until today...this weekend was pretty boring and quiet...Saturday night I watched my new "Bullet in a Bible" DVD...and gave myself quite a headache...wow!! they really made you feel as if you were actually at the concert!!, plus it kinda took me back to the concert that I went to...so I got a little too carried away...hence, the headache....so much headbanging, fist-pumping fun!!!...yeah.....so....

Anyway...today I found out some news about one of my friends...nothing bad, but it's too personal to discuss at the moment....

Today my dad took our cat to the vet because she's been acting strangely this past week...it turns out that she might have diabetes, I didn't even know that cats got that...and my mom just HAD to say that if she does and she needs injections or something then we might have to "end it all", I can't believe that she said that!! We don't even know what's wrong with her yet, and they're already discussing that....this is not the time...its almost Christmas and if that happens...well, it would just suck...I don't know how else to say it....

Changing the subject now....I have officially finished one of my college essays...just two more to go....yay...one less thing off my list...I plan on having everything in the mail before Christmas break which will be in about 3 weeks....getting there.....

This entry better show up....

Mood: ....
Listening to: .....

Hmmm...got my cell phone....found put that I can't download anything onto it because it's a Tracfone and none of the websites seem to carry that service provider....I'll find a way.....that is all...

Ah....another day closer to the weekend...I can't believe this week's almost over!!! Just goes too fast...

I went to Environmental Club today....once again I wasted another hour of my life...the teacher/advisor wasn't even there! She had to go to a "workshop"...she should have just cancelled the meeting, because absolutely nothing got done...at least I don't think...as far as I know we're about $1600 in debt because of some stupid fundraiser that our club didn't even participate in...(our advisor also does the "marine bio" club and I guess we share a bank account...or something....) see? I don't even know...

Anyway...it's such a waste....but, according to my mom....I need to stay after for some kind of activity at least once a week...I used to like going to this club...Freshman and Sophmore year we actually did some pretty fun things....and we actually just DID stuff...but the last two years hasn't amounted to anything....I don't know why I go....whatever....

Well....i've managed to get one paragraph done of one of my college essays...I'm on a roll...

I think tomorrow my phone will be coming in the mail...I'm really glad that I got it for my birthday because I'm going on the "Seniors in the City" trip next Wednesday, and I really feel better knowing that I have some form of communitcation...you know...just in case I get kidnapped or something....one never knows....
