"Be nice to me. I gave blood today." Yes, after school Jami and Jill surprised me and invited to go donate blood. It was jill's first time, and I'm sure her arm will still be a little sore tomorrow! It's kinda funny because the girl that did mine kinda messed up and blood started squirting out. Hmm.. I was told that my face turned 'flush'.

Stayed home ALLL day long. And the only things i finished were my college homework and bible reflection (for english). Things I still gotta do:
1. study for my big college test
2. read a million pages of Charles Dickens
3. Research the Dhali Lama
4. Do my world studies worksheet
5. Study for the religion test (optional)
6. Calculus homework
7. Northwestern Essay
8. Reschedule my audition.

My aunt called today and told me the FINAL,REAL dates of the china trip. We're now leaving December 7th. It's kinda funny because this is after I already told my teachers that the date was changed to december 10th.

I was sick for like, two days. It blew big time. I did, however, get to see Dreamcatcher, which is a very good movie.

THIS JUST IN: CHINA TRIP DELAYED. Yes, I am no longer leaving Dec. 4th but instead on Dec. 10th. Now I don't have to miss as much school, and I won't have as much homework to make up (yay!). I also get to go to floodlight and go to one more college class. This changes my audition time as well. I went to audition workshop tonight, and the directors told me that I could audition next week instead of in December. Now I have a little more time. We're doing Anything Goes and I'm going to try out for the three male leads: Billy, Moony, and Sir. Evelyn. Billy's probably the only part that I would be able to play well. Don't think I could master a british accent or be the comic relief of the play! That's all for now...

my nerdy outlook
China in 17 days and counting. I talked to my college professor today and we're gonna try to work something out where I take the final test before I leave. Not too bad. I also talked with Mr. Sanocki and we decided that I can still do the semester project in a group (instead of by myself) as long as I videotape my portion of the presentation and get my stuff done early. I'm still debating whether or not to take another college class next semester. If I do Play (who am I kidding, I'm going to do it) I won't have any time to fit in an actual class, so I would have to turn to an internet class instead. I met Mr. Bialas tonight who teaches Principles of Marketing. I asked him basically if I'd be able to handle it. He called up his wife (she works at the counceling office at my school) and she said definitely. I guess the logic is because I am an all A student I can handle the additional stress. All I have to do is write 1-2 3 page papers every week. Ouch. First I'll find out if the credits will transfer, and then I'll consider signing up. Okkaayyy...Still gotta do all my Sanocki Islam worksheet/group project so I better go do that. It's gonna be a semi-long night. Oh yeah, I think I'm a Type Y person (hopefully). Quick not to self: This weekend + t-day break I have to find time to write my bible reflection, schedule a possible audition for the play, do my sanocks project, take my college test, AND pack for china. Oh boy.

I finally met someone new today. That was fun. Not what I was hoping for, but still glad to meet someone other than my regular group of friends.

Yes, I was bitchy today, but so what? No, I don't know what was wrong, but do I have to? At least I can say that my college project is done. One down, a gazillion to go. Even though I prefer to spend my saturday nights doing homework, sometimes I get to urge to just drive somewhere..like grand rapids.

The only time I can rent R-rated movies, everything that looks interesting is PG-13. What's up with that? I was so incistent on getting an R movie that I rented Hamlet and Suburbia. Hamlet was okay; pretty much exactly like the play except modernized. Suburbia, which was supposed to be a comedy, was actually a deep movie that makes you think (and I wanted something that would make me laugh, not think). I guess it was kind of interesting because it showed how life goes on in Suburbia even though all the youth have shitty lives with no real promise. The ending lines were something like "Look at you, you just throw your lives away" as a dead girl lays next to the garbage bin. Ah, you gotta love cinematography.

I dislike morons a lot. They're always around, telling you that you don't know what you're doing, although you have years more experiance in any given situation than them, and when you correct them, or call them out on something, they do nothing except bitch about how much they're right and you're wrong. I hate Catholic...

The things i refrain from saying...
I could pull out my hair, but then I'd still be stressed ...only I'd have bald patches to stress out about too (yes, that would be a humorous site to see). I feel like everyone's problems (including my own) are minimal, perhaps insignificant. And I feel like a bad friend for thinking that too, but so help me, how can high school relationship problems be that important? In addition, AP English......yeah! Got a D MINUS on the quiz (stupid mistake that she let me retake and correct), and I forgot to put all the comma rules in my Gatsby paper that I stayed up late doing the night before. My dad called the credit union today and found out I was denied - REJECTED - on my credit card app. Guess my dad doesn't make enough on unemployment to be a cosigner, and it doesn't help that I don't have a job (stupid economy, stupid unemployment!). Still debating on whether or not to take another college class next semester. Still gotta finish my project for THIS college class. I wish I could go running right now, but then again I'm too tired to go, while at the same time being too awake to go to sleep.

All I want to do is sleep, but I have a frickin AP english paper to write on the Great Gatsby. Looks like I'll be up a while! I applied for my credit card today, though. I should find out if I got approved tomorrow. Disturbing moment of the day (lunch table):
KSR(to me): So, what are you doing...I mean...who are you banging this weekend?
KM: He's coming over to my house this weekend.
SICK!

I could really use a sick day, or a sick week, to get all my loose ends straigtened out. I still need to do my college project, write my gatsby paper, study calculus, compete for scholarship money, and apply to a million colleges. I've only applied to 3 colleges so far, and of those only 1 is one I am seriously considering. Even though I've been accepted to the other 2, Indiana Institute of Tech and Johson & Wales University, I don't want to go there. Right now I'm too lazy and stressed out to apply to the schools I really want to go to: NYU, Fordham, Northwestern. If I get accepted into Loyola, I'd consider going there...but what if I don't get accepted? And I still haven't applied to any michigan schools. : ( In addition to all of this, I feel like a bad person. Today a woman came to our door asking for any odd-jobs so she could earn food money. True, my dad is unemployed (that's how I rationalized saying no to her in my mind) but we still have change laying around the house that I could have given her. I want to pull my hair out.
