i only have one more final!! and it's not even technically a final!! YESSS!! i swear i've been like the most depressed and stressed and weird i've EVER been this week. i swear, i've never been that worked up over ANYTHING. i'm basically considering the grief of finals over, considering i can't do a ton about my french essay tomorrow. i'm hoping it'll be okay, i had an easier time writing my last one. (we've only done two.) *shrugs* oh well. i'm just being glad to be happy for once!!

i was less-happy today during school, though. and i think mr. shaull's like really worried about me. IT'S WEIRD!! i was like SUPER depressed on tuesday coming into the class, and he and debbie were talking about me after i handed in my ticket money for the concert and saying that i was less talkative than usual and had low-energy and wondered what was up. (yes, i know that was a horrible run-on sentence, shut up!) i know that i was like really perky the first week of school (like crazy perky, especially in shaull's class) but i SWEAR i haven't been like completely dark and gloomy compared to what i was like during the middle and end of the semester. so i'm not sure what's up with their random 'omg what's wrong with melissa?' obsession.

why am i calling it an obsession? get this. i walk in today and mr. shaull's like 'melissa, why are you so gloomy? i miss your happy expression and smile!' (or something like that, maybe not THAT stupid.) and i sort of looked at him weirdly and replied something like 'i don't know. i guess it's finals.' then, once everyone was in, i looked around to see if everyone else somehow must look happier than me. they didn't. no one looked especially happy. it was so weird!! and then, both times we had discussions this week, he's tried to keep the conversation going by saying something like, 'i want to hear some more ideas. who hasn't shared yet?' and then, BOTH TIMES, he immediately looked at me and said 'melissa?' it's weird. i don't know. i don't like how he seems to always choose me to do stuff. i came into the class on the first day thinking that it was cool that i knew him and it was all special and stuff, but i REALLY didn't think he would pay special attention to me or anything. and it's not cool that he does. i'll bet that he doesn't go around wondering why tiania was looking unhappy in class. and it's just fact that he's called on ME those two times and stuff. :-/ it's just weird.

some semi-current worries:
-not having anything to do all break. i'm not going anywhere or anything...:-/ i think we should all get together and have like a christmas party or do something every single day so i don't waste away of boredom. actually, i have a book to read and like 20 movies to watch if i get THAT bored.
-final scores, especially math. but i'm pushing that aside. i have like 3 weeks until i have to worry about that, and even then, my mom was stressing just as bad as i was about all of my finals and how they'll affect my grades, and it got to the point where she was saying things like, 'i'll still love you even if you bomb your _____ final' so yeah. i'm just hoping everything'll turn out okay.
-christmas pagent. i "volunteered" (was sort of forced into) saying that i would play recorder for one of the songs we're singing, and i don't know how to play the recorder. this isn't to say that i couldn't learn, seeing as i have a book and a recorder and the music. :-/ also, i'm playing a role in it. i'm not exactly sure how i was picked, but the people with roles are andrew, chris, alex, and i. seems just a TAD odd that stephen is(the stepfather, i think, i just know that he's not their father) of eileen and alex, and chose me over eileen for the female role, while still including alex. none of you really get this, seeing as you don't know these people, but alex like doesn't talk and is mumbly, and eileen is outgoing and bubbly. why would he choose him over her? whatever. idk.
-i don't know how i'm going to think up/get christmas presents for my parents. i used to get random stuff that looked cute from the holiday faire, but that was like an egan thing. and now i don't know what to do. and should i have to buy something for brian? i guess so. haha.

btw, (not that posting this question will get me an answer or anything) does anyone know if we're having a clarinet/flute party over the break? what about the website clarinet party? i'm kind of thinking that it isn't going to happen...it's just been too long since marching band. but hey, i'm all for partying!

Presents for Parents..., 12-18-03 8:28pm

I don't really know how to help you with the whole "Mr. Shaull is stalking me" thing, but I'll give it a shot with the present thing. So, here are some ideas for stuff to get your mom, depending on where you can get transportation to:::

Downtown:
-earrings from Earthworks (look on racks above the glass cases, the ones locked in the glass case things are EXPENSIVE!)
-there are really cute "mom"ish gifts at Cranberry Scoop (state street, a few stores down from card&party)
-Starbucks/Jamba Jucie gift card
-gift certificate to have her nails done somwhere
-At Walgreens. they have REALLY CUTE bath case things, that you could fill with bubble bath and stuff

Stanford Shopping Mall:
-there are cheap bath kit things at the Body Shop
-picture frame/a picture of you guys from the Pottery Barn
-very kewl wallets from J Crew (you've seen mine, the magic one :-) for $25
-jewelry from Macy's/Bloomingdale/Nordstroms

For your dad/brian:
-the picture frame thing, as mentioned above
-a wallet?

That's about it. Dads are hard to shop for. Haha I hope that helped... I should go study for bio now...

merci beaucoup for all of the ideas!! your wallet IS pretty spiffy. maybe i'll go for the earrings approach...i'm just not sure if she'd wear anything i'd buy her, though. oh well, i can try. and for my dad/brian, i'm hoping my mom can bail me out of those. or just figure out something. i think she got my dad a tie last year or something from me. but i gave him a wallet for his birthday of father's day or something really recently...hmm...

thanks though!! good luck on bio!!

Yea my mom bails be out of my dad's presents, too. She bought him this really expensive photo book and sold it to me for $30 to give to him, cause I gave her a better (more expensive) idea of something to get him. But hey, at least I got the book!
