I haven't blogged in about a month. That is totally insane. I think it's because I got a Tumblr, and while it's not "blogging", it's easier for me to do, because it takes a second to post something there, and half an hour for me to post something here. In other news, I've started school. I've stayed up to midnight all ready, broken down, stressed out over tests, failed my math quizzes (as usual!) and improved my outfits. Because that really matters. So far, AP US History is the easiest class, but we also haven't gotten very far, and our teacher has been absent a lot for appointments. English isn't all too terrible, but I'm not very good at memorizing stylistic devices and tropes, so I just have to work on my memorizing skills. AP Bio is all right, but science isn't my strongest subject, so I'm not expecting to do TOO well in that class, but I also know that it is one of the hardest classes you can take in high school, so I'm just happy to even be doing well right now.
In other news, my laptop completely died on me. Well, not really. It just refused to charge, so with 4% left on my battery, I had to find a solution, and quickly. Within three hours, I had used my college funds and bought a Macbook Pro, and that was last Sunday. I got it yesterday, and I am totally in heaven. Switching from a PC to a Mac is definitely hard to get used to, but I'm sure it'll feel more natural to me soon enough. I'm totally the envy of my family! But I'm also $1200 poorer once college rolls around. Bummer!
I'm supposed to be doing Bio outlines and a Dialectic right now, or at least starting them, but I'm just a tad too lazy, unfortunately. I know I shouldn't be, but I came home with a headache, and it just wasn't fun. Tomorrow I will definitely spend an hour on each, and hope that it pays off. I normally don't have much homework in my other classes, considering there's really only two others, so I think I should be fine. I just have to dedicate myself and not get distracted as easily as I usually do.
I've found myself saying really mean things about people, and I'm feeling absolutely terrible about it now that I've thought about it. It's really only about one or two people, but that's just not even acceptable. All of a sudden when school started, I just totally forgot about who I usually am and was just as mean as my friends can sometimes be. I'm working on it, and I'm definitely hoping karma doesn't attack me, as it likes to do.
In cat news, Thomas is definitely getting bigger, but he's still just as annoying as he's always been. It's not that bad, but having to protect the cats from him 24/7 does get a bit old, I have to admit. He's totally precious when he's sleeping, though, or when you first get home and he just wants to be held like a baby. Awh. Blacky's arthritis is getting worse, and we can tell just by the way he walks and sits all of the time. He also has been having issues eating, seeing as everything that he eats comes back out almost immediately. Well, most of the time. It's just not fun. After he's been with me for 14 years, I don't know what I would do without him. He's been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I've grown up with him. He may not be my cat, but he definitely means the world to me. I'm hoping he miraculously gets better, because I hate seeing him suffer. Oh, and Angel loves me just as much as she always has, and definitely loves cuddling and taking up the middle of my bed so that I have to awkwardly contort around her. It's perfect. Except when she bites me.
All in all, things are going
okay, but they're not the best. I have to work on that. I think doing my homework without procrastinating is very important, as well as remembering what I've learned and continuing to be nice, and thinking positive thoughts about people, and recognizing their negatives are there for a reason, and not just to annoy me.
Also, I really need to clean my room. It's getting cluttered again. There's just too much stuff that needs to be put or thrown away. Mainly tissues. I caught the Buena Cold last week along with the rest of the school, and I'm still getting over it. I can luckily breathe through my nose again, but I'm still sneezing and sniffling a lot, as well as coughing.
I'm excited for this weekend, mainly because on Saturday Key Club is helping out the Boys and Girls Club and we're helping them paint something, though I don't know exactly what, and just cleaning up. And, then it's very likely that Ana, Mary, and I will go up to Tucson to eat Olive Garden, since I am a virgin, and then have a sleepover and watch Dorian Gray. Why did I not find these two sooner?! Dear lord.
So, I think that's enough or a blog update for tonight. A shower is needed, and I probably should get to bed early for once. And pick out my outfit. Good night!
Today, I surprised myself. I came home, made a bowl of popcorn, and I did homework for two and a half hours. An hour on AP Bio outlines, and an hour and a half on APUSH summary/reactions to Chapter 2 of the best history book I've ever written. It was awesome. I plan on doing the same tomorrow.
