AAAHHHH!!! I'M IN I'M IN!!!!!
YAYZ!!! i JUST GOT MY ACCEPTANCE LETTER FROM FROSTBURG STATE UNIVERSITY!!! IM IN IM IN!!! YAY!!!
Im sooo happy! It feels sooo good knowing that i at least have the option to attend some college! whoo-hoo! I came home from school at like 5:30pm or so and went to the mailbox....and saw an envelope from Frostburg. I was like...oh...no. Cause i had sent my application like 2 weeks before Thanksgiving, so i knew this had to be a response. And i was so afraid i was rejected, cause the package wasn't near as thick as what i had expected. i was like...crap. But i went inside and ripped it open and CONGRADULATIONS!!! IM IN!!! lol whew!
I'm glad im in..i liked Frostburg alot....but im sort of holding out for Towson's response...that i believe is the school i really want to go to. Frostburg was a close second...but its just so damn rural up there....

NEwayz...not a whole lot has been happening in school. I turned in RP Chapter 3 today...whew! i sure cut THAT deadline close...
Today after school we had the joint GLOBE/Medical Club Christmas party. That was great. We did a Secret Santa. I had got Boehema and i got her a picture frame. Nelson got me and he got me a big box of these cookie things...they got chocolate on the inside. They are called "Hello Pandas" and i think they come from that filipino store where everyone gets all that cool food from. They are sOOOO good! lol. I was eating some at the party...then in the car...then when i got home...mmm...i tell ya....chocolate is great! lol..i was gettng so hyper...lol. Thanx Nelson! That supply should last til 2004...haha...yum... The party was fun though...gifts...food...and just hanging out w/ everyone...i hardly see anyone in there anymore!! So i was just having a blast just talking and joking around w/ people.

Lets see...anything else new?? Ive been spending my past couple of lunch periods practicing for the play part of my English class is performing on Monday. Im the Prologue, and its the play "Perimus and Thisby," which is a play in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Rehearsal today was funny...i couldnt keep a straight face tho w/ Danelle and Jorge in there...omg...so funny....ill be ready tho. I reviewed my lines again a lil while ago.
This week is going by sooo slowly....i wanna get out of school!! Senioritis hit me alot earlier than i thought it would...why does it seem like im ALWAYZ wanting a vacation???

hey all! The weekend is just about over...darnit. o well...1 week and 2 dayz of school til the holiday break. :)

Saturday was great. I went shopping from like 9am til 2pm. I FINALLY started my Christmas shopping. I thought i was doing well, til i realized i spent like $80 and only got gifts for like 7 pple...uh-oh. My money stash is way low...i need a job. And still so many pple to buy for. I was trying to avoid it...but i will definately be goin shopping the weekend before Christmas. It was fun shopping tho...JC Pennys had some nice sales....
And OMG! i have to tell u all somethin fun to do! If u r ever bored in the mall (shocking: ME?? bored at the mall??? lol), go into a dressing room stall and just stay there. I swear...pple are SOOOO funny when they think no one is listening!!! I was trying on clothes, and these 2 girls were in there talking...it was funny. They talk like valley girls...they were like "Oh..my God!! You, like, HAVE to buy that shirt! I am, like...soooo serious!! It looks FaBuLoUs on YOU!!!" and the other girl said: "Like...are you sure?? I think it is sooo not me...ya know???" The other girl said: "Like it is soooo CAYOOTE!!! Like...girl...you HAVE to buy that shirt!! Jeremy would like think you look soooo hot! Oh my gosh...you HAVE to get that shirt!! You are, like...too skinny NOT to get that shirt!!" and this went on and on...and they were still talking even after i had tried on about...i dunno...5 different outfits. It was HILARIOUS!! I didn't know people actually talk like that!! lol....good times....


Tho....When i got home i wasn't feeling to good. Ive had a cold or somethin for the past like...4 days or so... I hope its not the flu...ugh.. NEwayz...i took a lil nap, but then Hope came over and we all went to the first swim meet of the season. I was NOT feeling good at all...i was all stuffy...
NEwayz...my first event was the 200 Medley Relay, i swam the butterfly leg of it. We came in i think second. That wasnt bad. But then i had to do the 200 IM...my most hated event ever that i am alwayz in... NEwayz...that actually was pretty good. I came in second, and my time was only 2 seconds behind my best time last year....yay!! That means it won't take me too long to get it down alot more! So boosted!! But when i got out the water from that i felt soooo dizzy...it was scary. Everything was leaning and everything was out of focus...that hasn't happened before.
The worst was the 500 free. It is the longest event, but i love that event! But, as mentioned before...i have a cold or somethin...so the 500 turned out to be hell...
Somewhere around the 6th lap i sneezed underwater when i did my flip turn, and that REALLY screwed up my breathing. Then all that nasty stuff u get in ur throat when u are sick started getting really bad, and soon it was really hard to breath out of my mouth, and impossible to breath from my nose. I kept doing flip turns and swimming laps, but it got so bad i really felt like i couldn't breathe at all. Then i did a flip turn at like...the 10th lap or something...and everything was leaning over and i got real dizzy...that was scary...and i still had like 10 more laps to go. I was seriously thinking about quitting, but i knew coach would KILL me...and plus i have been begging to be in the 500 Free again for so long...this was my chance and GOSH DARNIT Y did i have to be soo sick??!!!
So...i kept going, though i stopped doing flipturns....i really think that if i kept doing them i wouldn't have been able to breathe..i felt sooo bad... But i ended up coming in 2nd for the girls right behind Stephanie. I was beating her the whole time but that last lap she got ahead and i tried to keep up but was just like screw it. So she beat me by like 2 seconds...but i was still happy. It was sorta cool...u and ur sister coming in 2gether...aww...lol.
The last event was the 400 Free Relay. My relay team did great. We came in 1st! yayz! Actually, we came in 2nd behind another OH team, but they got disqualified cause someone *ahem* forgot to take out their earring (u cant swim w/ any jewelry on), so we got bumped up to 1st place.
Our team won...good job u guyz! We beat Largo and Crossland..tho im cool w/ both those teams. I talked to several Largo pple...they are real nice. i look foreward to swimming them again. And i kept up good sportsmanship by offering a handshake to the other team at the end of each race i swam against one of them, and told some of them "good job" and all that nice stuff. Largo is cool tho...i talked quite a bit with 3 of them..nice pple. wish Bowie was like that...

Today was a catch-up day for me. I got done about 1/2 of RP Chapter 3..that took a long time. Ill do the rest tomorrow i guess. I studied for Calculus test....i think i can at least pull off a B....i know most of the stuff...ima study more later but im proud of myself now. :) AND i memorized ALL my lines for the play we are doing in English. im sooo good...lol j/k

Ah....school tomorrow.....that hated hell hole... lemme stop...i guess its not that bad....THAT....bad.....

Friday we DROVE to school!! Yay! I feel sooo independent! And today i drove to my cousin's house and back. good job. in the slush....and snow...and rain...o yeah...lol

OMG!! I forgot to blog about friday. It was SOOO HORRIBLE!! At my lunch, theres this little crazy white girl...well....i dunno if shes crazy. but shes weird...i seriously don't think shes "all there"...if u know what i mean. She sometimes says things that make no sense...or says things she SHOULDN'T say...and she is sorta hyper and stuff...i dunno...i dont like her around...she makes me nervous...but it seems like she has no friends and theres always a large group of people messing w/ her. I feel so bad for her. I mean...i dont want to be her friend...but im not mean to her. She sat w/ Danelle, Tempistt and me at lunch a few times, and we were nice to her (tho we all sorta felt uncomfortable w/ her there...), but then these guys kept messing w/ her and now she sits other places.
But people are alwayz messing w/ her...they took her candy once and threw her cd player and are always saying bad or nasty things to her... Well at lunch the other day...some guy put gum in her hair when she was talking to someone else. GUM!! a big wad of it!! And all the people over there were laughing like it was hilarious! And then people from all over the cafeteria would walk over to see what was so funny. They would come over, look in her hair, then laugh like they had never seen somethin that funny in their lives! At one point, almost the whole damn cafeteria was laughing or going "oooooooohhhh!!!" or AAAHHHH-HHHHAAA!!!!" or some crap like that!!

I couldn't believe it!!! And she still didn't know!! Then, after a bit, she realized pple coming over and laughing, and she reached up and found the gum in her hair. She shreiked, then put her head down on the table and started crying. Then FINALLY an administrator comes over to see whats up and they try to get the gum out but can't, and the girl leaves the cafeteria.

It was sooo horrible. I don't see how people can be so mean. They alwayz pick on her. Its all cause she is different. I mean...they dont have to be her friend or anything...but u dont have to pick on someone!! And GUM in her hair??? WTF??? YOU DONT PUT GUM IN SOMEONE'S HAIR!!! That shit does NOT come out!!! She'll probably have to cut it out. That was soo mean. I could not believe it. Things like that make me hate this fucking school. They ALWAYS mess with that girl. They need to grow up and just leave her alone. Sometimes i really wanna help her, or stand up for her since i dont think she can stand up for herself, but i can't cause then it will turn into a race issue. Danelle was disgusted. She was like... "Thats the kind of shit that started Columbine." And she is exactly right. And i think people need to watch what they do, cause i do believe sometime that girl might snap and just go off on everyone. And i can't blame her if she does, after all the things they do to her. I dont see how people can be so mean. That is just so stupid. shit...they need to grow up. i hate stupid people like that.....
