an update at last...

Hello friends!  Just thought I'd do a quick update since I have a bit of time.

1.)  Two weeks until school is officially OUT!  Yay!  I'm so excited!  But this also means cramming in study time for finals *blah...!*  The deal is, I have to pass my State Biology and Algebra tests.  Like I have said many times in the past, I am not terrific at tests.  So this will obviously be a huge stressing out phase from this point and by the time school is out :/  Prayers would be most helpful!  I think if study hard enough and pray, God will guide me threw those tests smoothly :) *please God, please God, please God!*

2.)  Three weeks from now (this is the big one!) *drum roll*.... I'm going to Europe for the first time ever!  *jumping in seat* :D  So (another) obviously, I am so super excited for that!  I'm going with my grandparents to England, Scotland, and France.  Taking pictures will be a must for me and most likely washing my own clothes in the hotel room bath tub.  But hey!  That the adventure part of this trip... at least it is for me :)  I'll be away for two weeks, so I won't be available to post pictures as I go (unless I miraculously get my own lap top and free WiFi... *grin*).  Again, prayers for a safe and smooth trip would be most appreciative :)

3.)  From July to August, I will be starting Drivers Ed. *a big 'whoohoo' and a back flip*.  I'm scared, nervous, and overall just scared.  But I'm also really excited to start this new chapter in my life ;) 

4.)  This is just an idea my mom and I have come across.  But we were thinking about me volunteering this summer at a senior home and/or Children's Hospital.  I would be an entertainer there, most likely drawing.  Maybe fun art games and crafts for Children's Hospital :)  I don't know, we'll have to check into it.  But it would take care of my volunteer hours to graduate high school.  Plus, I would really like to get to know these people and care for them.  It's still in the idea folder, though.

That's about it!  Have a great rest of your week,

if i were to go somewhere right now

I'd go to Disneyland!  I miss Disney parks so badly.  I really want to smell those scents when you hop on a ride and smell the chlorine in the rides with the water in them.  Even though I hated the sun when I was little, I really do wish I could just be there; even if it is hot with the sun on my face and body.  It's raining... again ;P  But I'm crossing my fingers this summers weather will turn up (more so than last year at least). 

And most recently (about a month ago), my favorite Disney Animator, Glen Keane, resigned from Disney ;(  I was so sad when I found out!  For those who aren't familiar with this person, he was the animator for Ariel, Tarzan, Pocahontas, Beast, Aladdin, and Rapunzel.  So he was quite popular in the Disney Animation field.  I really love his art style and his passion.  It inspires me :)

I have been on my deviantART account for quite sometime and getting the hang of it (i go by Cali, there).  I post most of my art work up there now.  I don't think I'll post my art up here anymore only because I haven't figured out how to put watermarks on my work.  Not like anyone would want to steel it as their own, but just to be safe :) 

I find myself going back and revisiting all of the original Disney movies.  I have mostly been into drawing Ariel from The Little Mermaid and most recently Esmeralda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame.  I think one of my next posts I'll write about some of my favorite animated characters (mostly Disney probably :D ) 

I've also been drawing way more than I used to.  I think that's part of the reason why I haven't been in Bloggie World in forever, but most of it is because I feel lazy XD  But I'm going to try to update at least once a week on it's my life :) 

I really want to get back into my writing days, too.  These are the days where I wish I had my own laptop where I could easily bring it with me to school and then just write my story or write on my blog.  But at the same point, I'm very thankful for the computer that I have. 

ps... It's so nice hearing from my bloggie friends again!  I'll try to catch up as much as I can :)

refreshed :)

Ah, it's good to write again :)  I went to the beach for my spring vacation and it was so relaxing!  Before spring break, we had a whole week off for teacher conferences, so I got the mounds of homework I needed to get done before spring break :D  So I was (mostly) homework free for the whole time at the beach! 

It was nice being there, really.  It was sunny for two days but then mostly rained the rest of the week.  But it was a nice enchanted rain :D  Oh, I can't even describe it XD  I think the best part of my vacation was swimming in the indoor pool for hours at a time.  I swam every single day and I felt so sore but very refreshed at the same time... now I'm just blabbering d;  I also liked that I wasn't spending hours trying to get ready with my hair and makeup.  I didn't have to go anywhere so I would find myself walking around the little beach house without any makeup :)  Anyways!  I'll talk more later :D

hello and goodbye for now

Hi there, people of Earth :D  I'm sorry for my long periods of not writing on the bloggie-boo.  I've been doing that a lot lately <:(  The truth is, I think I just really need a break.  I will be off my computer for everything except homework and I don't know how long I will be gone for.  But I'd say while ;)  I need to be focusing my time on school and having some me time besides going on the computer.  Maybe in Spring Break I can bring my mom's lap top and I will write from there :]  The main thing I need to focus on is reading.  I have to read 1,000 pages by the end of the semester.  So I will probably be doing that.  Until I log back in to bloggieland,

only you

It is only you.  Only you, that I look forward to seeing once a week just to hear your voice (oh that voice).  Only you, that we might happen to lock eyes when I look up from reading my book.  Only you, that I seem to notice you more than the others.  And it is only you, that could make me laugh really super hard on the inside, when you tell a joke.  When others say to the teacher, "I'll give it to you next week..."  I notice that you, and you only,hand it to our teacher with a smile on your face.  While others goof off in class, only you will smile, yet, focus on the white board.  When you walk into a room, is it true that you walk in slow motion as the room goes all fuzzy?  Am I the only one who notices this?  God forbid there's no one else.... Only you, can have that hair, smile, voice, grin, laugh, wittiness, and smartness.  And that first day of class... when you had smiled at me... I didn't look away because I wasn't interested.  It was pure shock.  Because only you had smiled at me like that before.

my day?

I guess I will share what I did today.  I did the usual amount of homework today.  I admired my newly painted nails (oui madame by essie) as I typed everything out on the computer.  I went on my new DeviantArt account (where i put all of my art/drawings) for a few hours (i promise, i'm not cheating on it's my life blog!).  I got a shower a little after four today (because i'm lazy, that's why)  and put my makeup on afterwards.  I went back and forth looking at my stats for my blogs.  I laughed at my brother when he said he "lost" his butt after 30 leg sit ups (as most 12 year olds do, they try to prove their sisters right... and by golly he did those 30 leg sit ups!).  I told him I did 30 a day and after he did 30 panting on the floor *haha* I told him I did them 15 at a time.  That followed with a small cry/laugh ;D  I straightened up my room, did my laundry (which reminds me, i need to switch my clothes to the dryer),  and ran out of my chap stick.
...That about sums up my day :)
