Short and sweet

Hey everyone! Sorry I didn't post yesterday but I was having my Wisdom teeth out :p But I have to say getting sedated is an adventure ::) I had a dream that the Knights of Camelot were standing around me, then Gwen came and woke me up who was really the nurse. It seemed to take me forever to wake up. She kept telling me to open my eyes and try to keep them open. Then I wanted to get up...all by myself. I swung my legs over the edge of the chair and tried to push myself up and she and my mom had to push me back down into the chair. My limbs felt like dead weights and I was dizzy and kind of out of it...Then I started to cry ::) She said it was normal because of the sedation and after another minute she and my mom were able to help me out to the car. Then I was drowsy until mid afternoon but after that I felt fine. Then I decided to take a shower and after that I got really tired :p And now my mouth is all sore. Luckily I don't have chipmunk cheeks; just a little swelling :p But here is your quote and then I am signing out for today.

"The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all." ~Mulan 

Can't really think of a title :p

Happy Friday y'all! :) Sorry I didn't post on Monday. I thought I'd do my quotes on Fridays now since they're more laid back than Mondays.

So I had my first exams for World Civ and History this week. And I'm pretty sure I aced both of them ;D I memorized all the stuff I needed to and was able to keep my cool and not stress out about it. History took almost two hours to complete though :p Part of it was a short answer and long answer question. My short answer was a little more than a page long and my long answer was two pages long :p I'm hoping that was okay...but it was supposed to be a long answer, right? ;)

Tomorrow I'm going with my friends to a musical/concert type...thing. They compete with their instruments...I think. Shows how much I know about it ::) ;) It's called Solo and Ensemble or S&E. I finally get to go this year, so I'm really excited to see them do their thing! ;) Then on Sunday I get to go to a prom dress resale and  a party with the same friends afterwards, so I'm really looking forward to that ;D Oh, and along with the Once Upon A Time episode that night ;) Here's your quote:

"Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." ~Jesus

Have a veddy good weekend peeps! :)

6 more weeks...

So did any of you see what the groundhog decided? I didn't :p ;) But all I know is we still pretty much have six more weeks of winter whether or not the groundhog says ;) But where I am, it's gorgeous and there's no snow in sight which makes me more happy than words can say. We're usually pretty heavy with the snow in February in MI, but we've only had 2 dumps this winter which is AMAZING! I usually don't like winter, but I love this year 'cause there's no snow!!!!!!!!! ;D And my followers tab is back up, so I'm happy ;D

This weekend I was at my aunt's house for our annual movie weekend. My mom, sister, aunt, and two other cousins go to to my one aunt's house to have movies, food, and gift bags. This year's theme was tropical, so she had decorations up all over in the living room/kitchen, and we had gift bags stuffed with trinkets and fun things ;D ;D We watched Soul Surfer, Nim's Island, and Surf's Up. Surf's Up was incredible. I hadn't seen it, but I knew the whole story from reading it several years ago. Everything about it. The acting. The lines. It was so well done. And the shark scene was so good. It was so real. Like if that happened to my friends, I honestly don't know if I would have done what those kids did. They saved that girl's life. Getting her out of the water and tying off her arm then getting her back to the car and meeting the ambulance on the way there. What was even more amazing is the girl started praying to Jesus to save her and help her as her friends are pulling her out of the ocean. That's huge. And what would I have done if I was that girl? Seriously. *Spoilers ahead if you haven't seen it* If I had just gotten my arm bitten off by a shark? Ohmygosh. Ow on a ton of different levels. But would you even feel the pain b/c of so much blood loss? Or would it be shock? Would I have just laid there on my board letting my friends help me out of the ocean with blood just coming out of my arm, not to mention to have one anymore, then calmly say "I want my mom" while they tie my shoulder off and lay me on a different board to cart me to their truck then race down the highway? I honestly don't know if I would be that calm. The only way I might be calm is from the shock and blood loss :p It's an amazing story and the movie is so cool. If you haven't seen it, I would highly recommend you do.

Here's your quote: "Oh man, learn to dance, or else the angels in heaven will not know what to do with you." ~St. Augustine

Have a good week :)

I think someone pressed the 'snooze' button on my life...

Okay, I know what you're all thinking: I deserted you. Not true! I only disappeared for a little bit so you could learn to fully appreciate me :p ;) That wasn't true either. It was mainly b/c A) I forgot to post B) ...I forgot to post :p But you will be happy to know I now have a full driver's license so I can go driving wherever and whenever I want ALONE. ;D Except for the hours b/w 10 pm and 5 am unless it's going to a school function or authorized function :p ;) But I plan on being asleep during those hours, so no problems there ;)

But school is soooooooooo uneventful this semester. I think I already complained about this :p So I've been looking for a job on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 3 to 9. Tell me who doesn't want a teenager to work for them those days and times. Apparently no one in our town :p But I have a light at the end of the tunnel. Our DRE at church said that I can volunteer with two of the youth groups and do little things at church on the side. So I'm going to help out the girl who runs the middle school and junior high school youth groups while possibly working in the library ;D ;D I am so happy right now. I'm at the point of desperation where I want to shake people's shoulders and say, "GIVE ME SOMETHING TO DO BECAUSE MY LAME TEACHER WON'T GIVE ME ANYTHING TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" :p :p :p :p :p On the days I have Algebra hw or no classes, I have 3 hours of school to do at the most. You can see my dilemma :p But like I said, light at the end of the tunnel ;)

And you get three quotes. One for last week, two 'cause I didn't post the day after Monday, and one for today which is Monday ;)

"So let me go like a leaf upon the water. Let me brave the wild currents flowing to the sea. And I will disappear into a deeper beauty." ~Audrey Assad

"Perfection has a price. But I cannot afford to live that life. It always ends the same, a fight I never win." ~JJ Heller

"Happiness is a mystery like religion, and should never be rationalized." G.K. Chesterton

I also want to thank you all for following my wonderful life ;) ;D Oh, and could you followers comment so I know how many I have of you? My followers tab isn't working and it's driving me nuts not knowing who's following me :p ;)

Life is...normal

Another week! And I had school off today since it's MLK, so that was nice ;) This morning I went with my friend Chrissy and some local youth groups to help sort out stuff at the new St. Vincent de Paul store. Then we went out to eat and went bowling ;D I bowled horribly :p ::) But now I'm home and I have tumbling so I'm happy about that ;D And here's your quote!

"Literature is a luxury. Fiction is a necessity." ~G.K. Chesterton

Can I get a big "Amen and alleluia!" to that? ;) ;D ;D What would we do without books and everything that allows us to travel without moving from one spot but does allow us to travel? I have no idea! So here's to books; one of the greatest loves of my life ;D

Back to school

Well, I started college life back up again today. My Algebra class is at 8:10 :p So I have to be on the bus by 7:45...*sigh*...and then my World Civ and History classes are pretty much lame :p No essays, no papers. Only two exams and the final. We were told we didn't have to read the book if we wanted. Needless to say my eyes practically popped out of my head. So as an example of how easy it is, I'll sleep in tomorrow, give myself two hours to finish up Algebra hw, then read my other books for an hour each equaling two hours. So all in all, four hours at the most. My dad said if I wanted I could add another class, and I might. Even with another class that would give me a regular time frame for school. I'll have to find out ::)

So here is your quote: "The poetry of the earth is never dead." ~John Keats
All we have to do is listen to that poetry :) Have a good week!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

5...4...3...2...1...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2012!!!!!!!!! I stayed up watching Beauty and the Beast until 11:45 and read until 11:59. Then I watched the ball drop and thanked God for everything I had during the year. Then the confetti exploded and it was pwetty ;D ;D But I hope that your new year brings happiness and joy :) My new year's resolution is to grow closer to the God of the universe, and I'm interested to see what yours are. No pressure ;)

I got my hair cut today! I am sooo excited. I finally got it re-layered and got a good four inches taken off. It looks so much better ;D Dance also started again today and I'm happy about that also ;D So all in all everything is still going great!

And here are your two quotes since it's almost Wednesday ;)

"I adjure you daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles and hinds of the field, do not arouse, do not stir up love before its own time." ~Songs 2:7 And tell me about it, I'm having some trouble with that ::)

"You know what I figured out today? Maybe God has a bigger plan for me than I had for myself. Like this journey never ends..." ~Jamie - A Walk To Remember

Have a good rest of the week! :)
