I told myself for the longest time this past month that I was not going to go trick-or-treating like the other kids in our neighbor-hood. The 43 degree weather gets a bit chilly when we girls go out in skirts and short sleeve costumes, so why should we not go out? Unlike my brothers or any other boy that's trick-or-treating, because they wear long capes and masks over their faces which make them sweaty hot when they come back home.
But alas, after quite some thinking, I decided I will go out trick-or-treating. Sure I'll get cold and almost freeze myself to death but hey! 1 it's a tradition! and 2 i get tons of candy!!! Urg! I need my candy >=]
You guys are probably wondering what I'm dressing up as. Well, i can tell you right now, it's the best one I have ever had and the first one my mom and I have ever made together. Instead of putting up pictures, I'll have you watch the video that I got all of my ideas from;] Enjoy!
This is the first time I have ever really taken time off of my blog before. Ever! I don't think I have gone away from my blog for three whole weeks;] It's kind of sad. I had to post you guys a little something because if I didn't, I'd probably forget about 'it's my life' and if one of my friends was like, "Oh, how's that blog of yours going?" I'd be all like, "Me? I have a blog?"
So you see, I'm just teenager. I'm trying to figure out what I have time for and what I don't have time for in life with all of the homework I've got in my overstretched backpack. Homework is great when I get it all done, but it seems to creep up on me again the week after that. If you're wondering why I'm blogging in my life instead of doing my homework, it's because it's an uninterrupted morning. My family and I just got back from a weekend with our great grandparents, and it wasn't even an exciting weekend so I won't even go into that. But Mom and Dad decided we would take this Monday morning and turn into the Saturday morning we missed from our little weekend get-away. Now we're all just taking it easy, watching cartoons, etc.
Until now, I've noticed that.... life happens. It happens fast! A few weeks ago my mom and I found ourselves talking about drivers ed courses. Next June, I'll be going to Europe! And even as the school year goes by, I can't stop thinking about how all of this is forming me into me before I go to college. The way my school is giving us homework is preparing me for college homework (in a way), I find myself being more confident around older kids at school, and even budgeting my money(sort of). Overall, I'm doing this so I can work real hard to get to my dream job, being a Disney or Pixar animator.
I am reminded of the song "Almost There" from the Disney movie "The Princess and the Frog". You know the song, right?
I am almost there! I have four more years until I'm in college, and then four more years after that for college. A year isn't really that long, guys! This year felt like it was shorter than ever and it's almost over.
I'm done;) I need some breakfast and cartoons or video games. This is my morning off, then I have to smack my nose into those big old books again.
When I posted the Rebbecca Black music video, my stats all of a sudden went down *hahahaha* People must really not like her music *heheh*
You know what I also realized... that I'm a complete dork! (you: you just realized that,now?) Really I am. Don't start pulling any sympathy from nowhere (you: uh... what sympathy???). Yesterday at biology, my teacher decided we would play a biology based off of bingo. After about ten to fifteen minutes of game instructions and saying "Don't say the answers out loud!" I blurt out "Lysosomes!" I knew the answer for sure. I had studied super hard on Lysosomes, and I was willing to show off to someone in particular. But when my teacher grinned at me, it was not a "good for you" kind of grin. Oh no, this kind of grin was a "you just gave away the answer even though I told you NOT to!". "Y-you're not supposed to say the answer." My teacher told me. And the classroom filled with laughter and "nice going!" and "now we all know" and "bravo!". And you wanna know the worst part? They were all guys that said that (practically the whole classroom!). Yep! In my defence, I haven't played Bingo since the first grade and even then I've never understood the rules. All I wanted to do was crawl under my desk as if it were a portal to Mars and stay on Mars until my Senior year (or you know. for the rest of my life!). And the only way to communicate to the world would be through blogging.
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NIV
Yes it has my dear supporters! You guys have left the sweetest comments this week and they were all so encouraging;] I have stuck with my goal! I haven't had any bubbly drinks and I feel amazing. I was quite surprised when a few of you said you were against sodas or started the no soda goal. We should totally start a group, like the No Soda Buddies group... I think it's kinda catchy;) Oh, and those of you who are new commenters(is that even a word??)/followers, WELCOME! I'm so glad you guys are apart of my life *heehee* And please spread the word about my little goal(the 100 followers not the no soda goal)=D I love me some new people... always *hahaha* Cheers!
