I’m eating a pop tart, cringing over the 100 degree weather outside, and listening to Augustana’s album “All the Stars and Boulevards”…and it feels great to be back.

The Desires of My Heart

February 28th, 2008

So much for blogging frequently being a New Year’s resolution, eh? Basketball season got on a roll and the games were more times a week. The new semester started at school and Chemistry is kicking my ass. I just recently registered for my 12th grade classes next year. As for core classes, I’m taking English 12, Advanced Functions/Modeling and maybe Statistics, and possibly Forensic Science if they say that I absolutely need to take another science. I passed all of my classes last semester, including Algebra II. So many students failed the US History exam; it was ridiculous. I passed it. Our Algebra II scores as well as a few other exam scores were delayed by the state so we just got those back a few days ago. I was relieved to know that I had everything from last semester behind me.

To update things in the past entry: I got the phone, I like it, it’s fine. I got the church calendar and those 80 Algebra II problems done and everything worked out just fine. I’m still working on my driver’s license, though. I’m a very independent person and it’s killing me how many people have their driver’s license when I don’t. I want to have to freedom to go places on my own but driving is not something that comes naturally to me and I’m not used to working hard to develop something like this. I keep thinking of it as a moral issue. I’ve been really bad about talking shit about people lately and I keep thinking that if I become a better person, things will work out for me. This is the only thing I want right now.

Delight yourself in the LORD,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
- Ps 37:4

I’m going to try to do better. I have to stop making so many foolish mistakes with my driving. As for doing better in school, everything is fine except for Chemistry. I guess that subject is something that doesn’t come naturally to me, either.

Happy New Year

January 1st, 2008

I’m not going anywhere tonight. No parties, church, or anything in between. Christmas was pretty nice. I got clothes, jewelry, etc. I also got the portable DVD player my mom and I picked up on Black Friday. Today I got what I had really wanted, only not in the color I really wanted. My mom finally went to Alltel and handed them my retarded Kyocera Strobe that I was getting to be so tired of it. It was boring and didn’t always work. Sometimes I’d have it on vibrate or even ring and it would ring silent. Recently my 7, 8, and 9 buttons had stopped working on and off. I got the LG AX8600 Gold. I wanted it in Lime Green but as soon as I get paid Friday I’m planning on going to the mall and trying to get the face plate changed to something more me…like pink, for instance.

I’m so not ready to go back to school. My Algebra II teacher gave us about 80 problems to do over the holiday and I’m predicting that they’re not all going to get done. Especially since I did my usual habit of procrastinating and just started on it today when it’s due Wednesday. I was at basketball games, with family, and of course - shopping a lot last week. I’ve worked some over the holidays. I still haven’t gotten the most important thing to my yet - my driver’s license. I practiced my driving, backing straight up, and three point turn today. My dad says he thinks I could possibly pass the license test. I have yet to park, though. I’d like to get that down before I start driving. I usually get frustrated with it but today I didn’t so that’s a good sign.

Well, I’m supposed to be working on the church calendar. The new year starts tomorrow so I’d better get a move on.

I’m back! No, seriously. I really am.

December 8th, 2007

Life got so incredibly busy all of a sudden! At one point I didn’t have time for hardly anything anymore. Between work, life, and then school, I never did anything but fiddle around on Myspace and check my e-mail. It made me forget what the real internet is like - this site and blogging.

Since I’ve been gone, I’ve gotten closer to my friends, gotten even farther out of my shell of shyness, had experiences as a high school junior, and had my heart broken - among many other things. Life right now is just me juggling my grades and trying to keep up with everything with basketball season starting. No boys involved this time. First six weeks my average was a 94; now it’s a mere 85. Math, of course, is the cause of it all. Psh.

I had to get a lot done before I opened this site back up. First of all, I had to completely change my ‘About’ page. It’s amazing how I changed so much from the short time ago when I wrote that stupid shit. I’ve still got a long way to go with everything but hopefully I can restore this place and this blog to it’s original sparkle. If not, at least I’ll have somewhere I can go safely…especially since I had to mom-proof my Myspace - but that’s a different story. :)

I can’t believe how short and almost pointless this post is. I guess I’ve been absent so long and so much has happened, I’ve actually got nothing to say!
