Hehe, thank you.
Boo, I know how you feel. It sucks. But it'll pass! (And I hope it does soon.)

I am so sick and tired of classes.
If it weren't for these really 2 sweet girls, I don't know how I could make it.
One of them is in 2 of my classes and one is in 3 of them.
And then there is another girl, Lisa, who is literally a life saver for another class. Love her!
Jeez- this seems like a shout-out. lol
Soo over-tired...again
Oh, my gosh.
I've never made bread from scratch before, and I tried this recipe for four-grain batter bread out of one of my cookbooks.
It's. Amazing.
There's nothing like the taste of fresh-baked bread, straight out of the oven.

So I just looked at the course calendar and my assignment actually isn't due for another two weeks.
My life is over. I got a 75 in AP Spanish.
I've already arranged a conference with my oh so nice Spanish teacher. There's not point because it's my final grade for the semester...so sheer and utter flattery has run out. Why didn't I make friends with her from the beginning. Oy. So unless the woman can't do math as well, the sand has run out.
Who in the freakin' right mind drops you 13 points? Who, for the love of anything would do that? Yea my grades dropped, but 13 points?!?! 13 sharp daggers blugeoned into my body fair better.
Ciao Yale. It was nice to dream, the deferral made me okay with myself. But now likely to be over. I won't fold, but I'll just channel my negative energy not to lovely admissions comittee but a certain senior year education of the Spanish language. You eff up Barnard, and there will be problems. You bet Machu Pichu.
My sister is watching Center Stage and I forgot Donna Murphy was in that movie.

WoW, Marlene. Life isn't over...yet.
You still may get into the college you want to- don't lose hope! And if you don't get into it, don't fret, it's not the end of the world (although it may seem that way). You never know...another college could be for the better. Keep your head high
I've had a headache all day. And it got better but it won't completely go away and I don't want to take ANOTHER advil.
Edit: A really nice teacher at the HS I went to had a baby girl! Samantha Faith.
My aunt took care of her (the teacher) when she was little! Where has time gone!?!
Marlene, it's one grade. Chill. And not only is it one grade, but it's Spanish of all things no less, not something core or required to graduate or anything that I'd assume is high on an admissions officer's list of importance. If your other grades are good, especially since that's an AP class, your course load is fairly challenging, your SAT scores are in the right range, and so forth, it's not as though you've blown all chances. One grade won't have that much impact, especially if it's out of character and not in line with the rest of your transcript.
"but it's Spanish of all things no less"
You got something against Spanish, Em?
Not at all; I used to be semi-fluent, but I lost it really quickly after I stopped taking it in school. But the way I understand it, in terms of ranking importance of classes, colleges are probably going to look at the basics -- math, science, history, etc -- and your SAT much more heavily than they will foreign languages. It's hard to standardize learning in foreign languages between curricula in high schools and state-to-state, very smart kids can have trouble picking up a second language because learning it at a high school level (when it's pretty often taught) is too late for some, etc. A poor grade in a foreign language isn't going to hurt you nearly as much as it would in something in the academic core, so by level of importance, her Spanish grade probably isn't going to make or break her admission. It's not the end of the world.
In other banal news, my retainers really don't fit. My teeth are moving and that's not good. They never did fit in the first place; it was my orthodontist's fault, but he said it was mine (impossibly so) so he wouldn't fix them. He's a jerk.
That sucks about your retainer, Em. Did I mention I have perfect teeth? They get me my most compliments. However, as a kid I desperately wanted braces and I'd beg my parents to get me some, to no avail. The reason I wanted them is because I thought they were diamond studs. Anyway, I used to unbend a paper clip and place it in my mouth as a makeshift retainer. Yeah, I was an imaginative child. Sometimes, too imaginative.
I'm going to be at school for 12 hours today. That would be fine if I actually had something to do the entire time, but between 5 and 7:30 I have absolutely nothing to do.

NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
*CRIES*
Meh, whatever, I guess it's ok...
SM2, I did the same thing! When I was really young, I wanted braces because I thought they were pretty. I was a brass player though, so having them caused me SUCH pain.
I don't feel well and I have to go to my stupid, stupid gym class soon. It's a waste of time when you're feeling up to it. It's even worse when you feel sick and can't breathe.
Oops, I slept in today.

IT NEVER RAINS BUT IT POURS.
One thing after another.
My mommom hasn't been sleeping well at all and she's becoming depressed and sad and really doesn't feel like doing anything. She went to a sleep clinic yesterday and she is having a sleep study done is a few weeks but from yesterday to today, it's been downhill. She has an appointment with a psychologist on Sat.
I called her today and I've never, ever heard her as sad as she sounds. It was really upsetting to me.
She's a healthy 86 years old (she seems like 70 and her mind is so sharp). I really am beginning to worry.
My aunt broke her arm while playing ball with her dog (don't even ask) so, she is getting a cast put on today.
My cousin is bringing my baby cousin (4 months) in from CT- she is flying to Philly today. It was a last decision thing, we think(and hope) that my mommom seeing the baby will bring some happiness.
The baby has a bit of a cold so we are worried about her ears on the plane (she's never been) but... we can only hope for the best.
The aunt that broke her arm is my cousins mother so it's not like she can even help much with the baby.
We want my mommom to 'sleep' at my aunts house tonight but she refuses.
Oy
I hope it doesn't pain you to blow anymore, Em.
Dirty, dirty mind. The blowing wasn't what hurt, anyway -- the metal was just always cutting my lips.
My shower actually had hot water today. Yay! (It's the little things...)
I also lucked out and never needed braces...but I never wanted them. My sister had to wear headgear at night, so I guess I lucked out.
Other than that, I am avoiding doing homework and instead trying to find a good quote to use as my BWW signature...sad...
Feel free to quote me, gumbo2.
Mmm. I'm eating birthday cake. My mom got a Bratz Birthday Cake yesterday for her special day. =) My dad is a nerd.
Got report cards today. I love my average! Except now I probably won't get it again.
I have to analyze 3 poems "in depth" (ask questions, draw pictures, word webs, write an analysis, ect..)for class, one due tomorrow and the others due Monday. At least I have time, though.
I have a Bio quiz I should be studying for...
I'm bored. And I'm in a bad mood.
I'm seriously sitting here with four copies of my resume spread out on my desk.
