I am greatly amused by looking at the stats for my blog. For example, it's linked in a movie site, saying that I am an "avid movie enthusiast." What? Then of course, all the other blogs linked there were completely irrelevant, too. Also, the only things in "Search keywords" are "nakkumatt junction sunday hours", "dance at my school", and "venga bus".
My plans for tonight are watching Mamma Mia for the several dozenth time while going over my social studies notes. Plan big, right?

The terror of skating and cooking from boxes.
I haven't realized it until today, but I haven't gone out my way to get out the house for quite a while, now. It doesn't even occur to me most of the time.
Today, thankfully, I went skating. My parents go skating almost every weekend, but today, suddenly, I really felt like I needed to get out of the house and do something.
I haven't gone skating since 8th grade, and the first step on the ice was terrifying. After skating around a few times, I got the hang of it again. The only scary thing I encountered from that time on were the children about three and a half feet tall who either (a) are extremely advanced skaters or (b) fall over every time you get within five feet of them, but all are completely oblivious to everyone around them. I nearly got run over by a small kid in a jersey about three times, but he stopped about six inches from knocking me over each time.
Since I came home, I have successfully baked a carrot cake from a box. I feel like I've cheated every time that I cook something from a package. I seriously feel guilt. Also, I've began knitting a scarf, and I'm sucked into the addictive vortex that is knitting.
I should read more of the second "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" book. It's the ideal mixture of strange, sarcasm and sci-fi. Three of the things I value most.
Love,

PS- I've decided that I'll keep track of how many city buses I've taken this year, just out of curiosity, and a link to a song, one that's stuck in my head, or stands out that particular day. In an attempt to brighten your life. And mine.

Snow day. The snow gods got my request.
Snow day today... I don't think I've ever been so happy to have a snow day. Not only do I get to write the other half of my 1000 word essay due tomorrow (I'm aiming for 800 words... that's the absolute minimum), but I get to catch up on sleep. I think that somebody in the sky is taking pity on me for procrastinating and trying to write and research an entire essay in three days. Thank you, snow gods.
My predictions from two days ago were correct and things have indeed gotten better. It could just be that I've been incredibly emotionally unstable recently. I'm so used to being a stable person, and even when I wasn't, I could usually put up a front. This has really thrown me for a loop. Now I'm depressed, I'm happy, I'm mellow, I'm pissed off, I'm zoned out, I'm giddy, I'm alert, I'm distracted. I just never seem to be in any one state for too long.
I know it has something to do with Elissa. Christmas break was my first time I've had to stop and actually think about the accident. I felt the pain of it all over again. And I'm getting incredibly overworked for school (I will be so happy when exams are over).
Why does every post turn to me sounding depressed? I'm not, really. Well, as I said before, when I am, it's not for long.
Two hundred more words, and then I don't have to care about the importance of the acropolis to the ancient Athenians. I can do it!

*yawn* Night, world.
Today was quite the day.
It began with a bass solo, a very loud bass solo. The song that I set as my alarm definitely seemed like a better idea the night before. I hit the snooze button, and got to have the terrifying, low frequency experience ten minutes later. I got barely any sleep, due to stress from all of my ongoing projects. Even a large cup of coffee couldn't revive me very much. First period consisted of my usually pleasant teacher insisting that he told us not to use encyclopedias or wikipedia for our research essay... that's due on Friday. After an entire class (minus one smart ass) panicked, because most of our research was useless, the teacher said he'd make an exception.
The little effect the coffee had had worn off at that point. I was in a daze for the rest of the day. In third period, my teacher asked me a question when I was zoned out, began by saying my name wrong, and I must have made some strange expression because she talked her way through the rest of it without me even knowing which question it was.
When I got home, I immediately began working on my research essay. I didn't stop until I finished my research, several hours later. Then it was time to begin my chemistry design lab, which only took about half an hour. Two more days until my essay is due.
Well, today was so crappy, I'm kind of convinced that things can only get better from here.
Love,
