Hmmmm. so its the new year!!! I hope this year is awesome. Mom's keys are missing so I have to help her look. Were going back to Chicago tomorrow afternoon form our 11-day NY trip. It's been fun.

Lastly, what really happened in 2009?

I had my first boyfriend (lasted only a few weeks.)
Had my first breakup (it was mutual. better off as friends)
I went to the Bahamas for the first time
I fell in love with Berry Chill and frozen yogurt in general.



and were leaving my cousin's house now! new post soon.

Today's Agenda and another (not as weird) dream

I slept badly again last night. I lied in bed for at least 2 hours before i fell asleep. So in this dream, I was on a boat with a bunch of people (has happened before) except this time, the counselors were telling us to jump off the boat in trios. There was a lot of conflict with group selection because there was one girl that wanted to be in our group but she was really mean to everyone. So she ended up not being in our group and my group went to the edge of the boat. somehow, the water closest to the boat was lava and we had to jump over that into the ocean. And once i was in the ocean, I was so happy (realistic)! Then they harnessed me up into a backwards zipline and then i was flying into the air towards a junglegym that was 1,000 feet in the air! it was amazing. and thats all i remember. lol

so yesterday I finished my Calc derivative packet and I finished my 16 page Calc portfolio (Wed. morning). I also finished my AP Bio reading yesterday, so today all I have to do is do some kind of summary of the Bio chapter and the AP Lang homework which should take me an hour. Today, I have to go to church (ugh.) and sell tickets to the Winter Choir Concert of thursday, in which I have a solo! I'm pretty nervous/excited for it. I hope I don't mess up because if I do, there's no choir behind me to help. I am all by myself.

This week I also submitted my Grinnell supplement and did my Yale essay. I'm going to submit my yale supplement and harvard supplement this week. yay!

Really weird dream 11/28

Okay so last night i slept horribly. Got in bed at 11:45...tossed and turned until the rest of the family came home, which was around one. continued to toss and turn (but must have fallen asleep sometime because I didnt hear her get into bed. woke up a t 4am and couldnt go back to sleep for about another hour. fell back asleep. woke up at 9am.

okay so the dream started with Coach Derek (the jones girls soccer coach) talking about us getting conditioned. so for conditioning, he has us all get on bikes and tells us to ride around for 5 hours. except we werent downtown. and we had no idea where we were going. i got lost several times. i somehow rode all the way to Hyde Park and went by my house. got sick of riding at some point. then my bike magically disappeared and i hitched a ride with someone back to jones. none of my teammates were back yet. coach was mad because i didnt use the whole 5 hours.
okay so thats the end of the first dream, the one im guessing ended when i woke up a t 4 am.

so the next dream started when i went back to sleep...
it was the entire senior class plus random people from concert choir. we were all going on a trip to ??? but it was similar to the place we went for Sophomore retreat. anyways, weird stuff started happening. the weirdest by far was when Nancy W in my class started doing coke (what the heck??), and then got Gwyn and Venus to get into it as well (really weird). and then there was a talent show... well Arquilla played the piano and sang one of my favorite songs (that i cant remember). then people started passing around a mike and singing lines from it. they were passing food around at the same time, so when the mike came to me and i sang a solo, i had a mouth full of twizzlers. i sounded okay tho. and the not so weird things... Diaper Boy completely ignored me the entire trip. He didn't say a single word to me the entire time, which made me kinda sad. which is pretty realistic i guess, because the rare conversations we have, i have to initiate. sigh.

THE END

weird right? maybe its cause i had an ice cream sundae sometime before bed....

My first blog!

So I'm pretty happy with the fact that I finally created a blog...
not because i expect people to be reading it, but Mr. Lin told me about how I should journal and keep record of it, and i finally have now!

im supposed to continue my AP Bio reading (its like 18 pages long) but it is so boring. its called from gene to protein" ugh.

so anyway, went shopping today with the family and aunt tamara. karen is home too and is leaving tomorrow. she's getting on my nerves, but i love her. i missed her and we have our great moments, but for the most part she's been so ornery and mean the whole trip.

so we went to ford city. bought a pair of monkey earrings, a purple peacoat from jcpennys that was on sale for 50 bucks (my christmas present, etc. mom is trying to keep me from wearing until after christmas cause its a present. fat chance! im wearing that next week when she's flying. hah! bought some amazing converse at marshalls for 15 bucks that im wearing to school next week.

visited uncle lorenzo today. found out he's stalking my facebook page! lol hah! says i use the phrase "wtf" to much. maybe he's right...

*sigh* still thinking about codeword: "diaper boy". except im sure he doesn't even know i exist. and people like him aren't supposed to like people like me anyway. im a nerd. he's not.

saw Ingrid today. reminds me of how bad I want to go to Grinnell! seriuously. whenever i think of Grinnell, I get a kind of aching in my stomach. i think of the amazing soccer pitch and weight rooms and amazing buildings. *sigh* i love it! and i can't stop thinking about playing soccer for them. am i good enough.? i hope so. im going to work my hardest this year to make sure i am.

got to submit my harvard and yale apps this week. everything for yale has to be in by dec. 31st. and i need to finish my princeton essay.

really hating Calculus now. maybe its cause of all these stupid packets remiasz is giving us? he's not even explaining half of the stuff on that thing! and we dont know how to do most of the problems on there. the homework doesnt give examples of those complex problems and we dont go over them in class! aaah. so mad at that. i just want to burn that packet. i can do like one in every 5 problems and there's 35!

haha. my iPod is playing Breaking Free - HSM right now. XD
